Use the RevB: it has a hole in the metal plate thing through which you can put the IDE cable, so just have your DVD-ROM externally. That's the easiest way. Or use the RevD (which i…

Wait.... how come you cant throw a powerbook DVD drive into the iMac drive? Wouldnt that work? And if I overclocked my rev A/D hybrid to 400 mhz, would it be able to play them? …

I don't think a VST DVD-ROM would fit. Find the manufacturer of the iMac CD-ROM drives and check if they have a similar DVD model. There's one for the iBook.

ok, here's what ive figured out so far about software dvd decoding. the term "software dvd" is meaning that the computers don't have dedicated dvd decoder chips. however, that does…

There is also the question of the bus speed: A-D are 66mhz, 2nd Gen are 100mhz...

The original card must be in full working order and returned within 14 days. That's about it.

Dude, I am in the same project you are talking about. I think YOU came up with the idea that iMac's could only accept pass-through videocards, while I always believed that pluggin…

ok. You challenged me. Last one to get it working is a rotten egg! '`'`'`'`' (me order stuff TONIGHT. HEhehe) Ca$h

Of course, if you can get it to run a second monitor, then couldn't you just attach it to the monitor cuurrently in the case (break out the soldering gun)? Dammit

The only real question I have is whether there is enough space in there for a PCI card, and where you would hang it..... Good luck, fellas! Dammit

PCI card can hang out the side for tests. Heh. Ca$h

I'm realy interested in these mezz-PCI converters. I would like to try to make one myself. Does anybody know where to get the mezanine connector in Europe? Please lets work togeth…

Cash, Are you NOT going to send pictures?

Um, I've been asking round some computer stores about PCI to Mezz connectors but they just stare at me blankly. I need to go to some specialised place obviously, any help??

You gotta either: A. Get the parts and make it yourself B. Get the parts and have it made at a shop

And all I want to know is if anyone has ever succeeded in soldering a mezzanine socket to a rev D motherboard. Anyone?

Ca$h, though I often disagree with you, I now realize the potential in my iMac as a mobile gaming machine. I am going to create a mezzanine to PCI adapter, and affix a Voodoo5 5500…

Um. I must disgress first. Here's why. You will NEVER get very good FPS in comparison to a G4 tower. Or a G3 tower for that matter. They have faster busses for one thing, bu…

Cash, how about a monitor cable between that externally mounted card and the cable that comes straight from the built-in monitor in the iMac case? You would need to chip some of th…
