actually, I'm beginning to wonder if my "control" key is actually not working properly. It does beep when I press control-A but places a faded block cursor at the prompt and then a…

The machine seems to be functioning correctly. The strange thing is, I can get the serial card to work booting from an ATDpro floppy and choosing serial. It then communicates with …

I just did a 720p movie trailer from apple and my Dual G4 with 1GB of ram is chugging, it's dropping frames all over the place. Click to expand... Do you understand the differe…

Thanks, Luddite already hit me up. For all other confused folks, just borrow/steal a windoze machine and run the SHK over in Ciderpress, it's not too bad. Read the manual to find o…

I just did a 720p movie trailer from apple and my Dual G4 with 1GB of ram is chugging, it's dropping frames all over the place. Quicktime says between 4 and 8 frames per second.

Ebay seller macmetex seems to have a ready supply of VGA to 3, 4 and 5 BNC cables for cheap.

Does the enhanced IIe work normally otherwise? Have you tried any other expansion cards in it?

Just a note to say that my earlier references to "DisplayConverterX" are incorrect. The correct tool is DisplayConfigX. The memory isn't what it once was... Get it here: http://…

Your project hasn't been shot with a poisoned arrow just yet... For my TV, I have two possible setups. The first connection is VGA which I use when I connect an iBook. My TV com…

Thanks for the comments & HIYA, ~Coxy! ;D I've found a couple of very interesting gizmos if a pure cable based solution isn't practical. :b&w: VGA to HDMI Analo…

ADC breaks out to DVI pretty cheaply, because it carries the same video signal and the adaptor just ignores the extra power/sound/usb pins. (does ADC actually have sound?) Once you…

Yeah but thats not video playing on screen.... Click to expand... :?: Huh? Obviously one shouldn't expect to play 1080p video on any G4, nevermind a 466MHz one with a Rage …

If you keep your eyes open on eBay, you can find an AGP GeForce4 MX for $35 to $50. Click to expand... Ok, I've only got one more hoop to jump thru to have a PayPal account set…

This Blog also seems to be providing a running commentary on progress being made on solving the 2010 problem. In fact, it's a great Newton site in general and well worth a visit if…

The other technology in OS X that relates to video acceleration you might hear about these days is Core Image. There isn't much value in pursuing a video card that will support Co…

Thanks for the reply, beachycove. I'm glad the problem is being tackled by people who know what they're doing. I, too, will wait until the last possible moment to install the patch…

No, the Rage 128 can't drive two monitors simultaneously. Plus, it doesn't support Quartz Extreme (the acceleration you mentioned earlier). Pretty much anything else will do X (a…

Dual displays is weird. For instance I have a GeForce 3 64MB that came with my DA back in the day, it has SVGA and ADC outs but will only drive one at a time. As alk mentioned th…
