Whatever you do, dont use any other resolution then the optimal one on LCD's. Borrow a Powerbook and find out how it looks. I have a 15" Studio display closeby and the quality is s…

he's right, The flat panel has similar quality, the color can be a bit off though if you do not calibrate a profile for the display. Don't settle for the Apple Default FPD profile…

The ability to scale is built into the display, not the MacOS. Otherwise you couldn't use the display on Wintel which you can. The system is called Manta and looks better than any …

Basically, though, about the Apple FPD vs ColorSync 17": as mentioned, the ColorSync 17 is not compatible with the G4s. BUT I personally would not necessarily choose Apple's fla…

According to NewerTech you are in bizness: MAXpowr G3 Carrier Card will launch you into the current day with ZIF technology. ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) sockets are quickly becomin…

I was planning on using my camera to take some pictures of arc welding in action. Of course, the arc emits many ultraviolet rays, which can damage the retinas of people in the room…

<-------- this dude is too drunk to be posting It would probably be the UV requivalent of pointing the camera directly at the sun. And I would probably use the LCD, not the…

If your camera permits, try a combo UV /polarizing filter. Anti-glare AND UV protection, Camera shop should help you with that one. Of course, it depends on what kind of camera you…

just for the record, a UV filter won't prevent damage to your camera (since UV won't damage your camera), but it will ensure that the image you see isn't skewed because of the UV l…

I threw my ACER IDE CDR into my blue and white G3 and all hell broke lose. The computer CRAWLED and wouldn't mount anything. Then, I installed Mac OS 9 (fc2) and it worked great.…

NEC clik!-usb now works. I installed the USB Mass Storage Support 1.3.5 from Apple, and now I have a USB clik! drive for the Macintosh. Cons - DOS formated disk, unable to reform…

To format a DOS disk as HFS or HFS+, disable File Exchange or PC Exchange (depending on what OS version). Then when you mount the disk it will pop up with the "This disk in not in…

hi, what you really need is what's called an "AAUI Tranceiver" (sp?) as far as i know, all powermacs shipped w/ ethernet, but the earlier ones, such as your 6100, didn't have a nor…

Hi, thanks for replying. I already have a transcever. but I need another ethernet port.

Asante made one for the longest time, EN/SC. But as far as I knew, the drivers for it were NOT Open Trasnport compliant. And if I can extrapolate what you're trying to do, I'd gues…

Yeah, i'm switchiung to a sloted machine. Thanks for your postings everyone!

Its called a Sony DVMC-DA1 and it converts analog signal to digital signal (firewire) on the fly. There is actually a newer model too, its the DVMC-MS1. I have the MS1, and it wo…

I have the DVMC-DA1. I paid $371.74 before TAX from Troxell Communications - 272-0440, but I work for an education so this might be and education only price. http://www.sel.sony.co…

I'm going to be connecting a video camera via firewire to my B&W G3 like this: (Sony DCR-PC1)+(15 Foot FireWire Cable)+(Orange Micro FireWire Repeater)+(15 Foot Fire Wire Cable…

Why do they make s-video cables that are 30 feet long when the spec says 6 feet or less? Because it usually works, especially with a repeater... Drewman

hi there, sorry, but that's the big drawback of using usb for high-bandwith devices. usb can't push enough data to the farther devices fast enough to keep up with their needs. when…

Thanks for the reply, that's what I thought. I understand about the Avid capture needing all the bandwith, but I thought my CDR at a slower speed setting would be OK. Oh well, I'm …
