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 …

My First Big Conquest (Sort Of) — #3

Nice scores! Chances are the "two hard drives" are just one 40GB partitioned into 8GB + ~ 30GB to install OS X on the first 8GB partition. JB Click to expand... Yea, so people…

Winter Warm Up 2010 — #7

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. check out the doom-retrochall…

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

Old School & New World. — #11

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…

Wings card / may actually make a decent VHS importing box. Click to expand... Isn't the Wings card restricted to QVGA (320x240)? On the other hand, save that as MPEG-1 and it …

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.

That's the one... two pressure sensors on the base. This one is most certainly ADB, no converters or anything in between. I'm pretty keen to give the Wings card a whirl, especiall…
