There is such thing as a SCSI SSD so I believe it will be easy to find a ATA one. Another kludge you can use is:
Getting a 2 Compactflash enclosure that goes to EIDE
Put two 32GB…

I'm sure the price will drop. Look at how much flash drives and camera memory cards have come down in the last couple of years.
Most of the SSDs made will be SATA but there will b…

Sure thing, although the key word is "supposedly". The post in question suggests using the 3ivx 4.5.1 Mac OS 9 extensions and codec to make the videos at the higher resolution, alt…

Well, i've found and documented some extensions that can supposedly push the Wings card right over its boundaries into 640x480 territory. The downside is that on a G3 processor it …

SSD question — #1
I was looking this weekend at SSD laptop drives (for a G4 PB with an ATA-100 bus), and after gulping at the prices for even smallish drives, two thoughts struck me:
1. What do you…

cant say for 68k but would doubt it - the version being used for the WWU is a universal binary so you are in if you have a PPC Mac thats good enough.

Personally, never played it. Does anyone know if there's a port, that works for multiplayer, for 68k macs?

Yep, that'd be right...odds are the chip is probably an 82C861, which is a USB 1.1 controller - exactly the same as the one used on the tray load iMac G3s.

3 posts in a row now... but the Power Mac is running perfectly stable with a G4 running at 400mhz (66mhz bus with a multiplier of 6x). I've also stuck an ATI Rage 128 Pro PCI in th…

I'll look into the Wings card, but that's something I wish I knew before I dropped $40 on the system, otherwise I probably wouldn't have even thought about it. That said the SCSI t…

I have to say, that G3 is a really nice example of a high end Mac setup from the mid to late 1990's, especially with those external SCSI drives.
