Oops! I should have mentioned what I tried to do. First, I deleted the XVP Prefs and restarted. Second, I reinstalled *all* XVR software (which includes the drivers). Third, I deac…

I got the card back by taking the "drastic" step of removing the new software, and reinstalling QT 3. Voila! The XVP found the ATI hardware! I first removed RealPlayer, no effect. …

does anyone know if there is a definite conflict with Quicktime and acclaim VR? i've had QT 4.x since it came out, and i just installed an acclaim VR card. the apple system profile…

I've had two other people report problems on another board where I posted the same original information. It seems that it is a conflict between XVR and QT 4. I have yet to hear fro…

I saw an article and patch a while back on the Apple TIL page about ATi Xclaim VR cards and pre-G3 PCI macs. I can't remember the details but it was something about these PCI cards…

I found this @ apples site. http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n60379

I put NetBSD on mine, and made it into a DHCP/DNS/Web server. Certainly a lot more stable running that way than it ever was with MacOS on it...

clockchip it to 40Mhz! See: http://violet.berkeley.edu/~schrier/mhz.html for details on how to do it! -corwin

Although I don't know the answer for sure, I wouldn't worry. Upgrade manufacturers have always found ways around Apple's setbacks. Look at the iMac upgrades. I'm sure someone else …

Quite a few upgrade makers already claim their cards are OS X compliant I think. Just check their sites and search about it. I think I saw Sonnet upgrades were and at least one oth…

I've *installed* the DP4 on an upgraded machine. Works fine, although probably not the same speed as the latest bus speed and speed of memory in the newer macs. It does work and i…

Thanks for your attention one and all!

Just curious. What logic would make you think that it would "BREAK" a cpu upgrade? Or even not work? I mean, a processor just calculates numbers from instructions.... if O…

That would be illogical..er...live long and prosper! ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS! You don't …

Cash, you are a nuisance Certainly you have a lot of empirical knowledge about Macs but it is obvious you know little about computer engineering. I am holding off from buying t…

Godfather, you are a nuisance! Certainly you have a lot of empirical knowledge about Macs but it is obvious you know little about upgrade chips! The newer brand 466 uses the appl…

BOOSHE! Sarcasm and knowledge strike down thy offendive one with a lethal blow! Hehehehheheheh. >mischievious laugh and evil grin< Ca$h

cash, i think godfather is referring to the 'blue blocker' episode of about a year ago. a firmware update for the b&w g3 had the charming side-effect of preventing machines upg…

yeah, I know about that, but here's the thing. Those were upgraded CHIPS. iMacs use daughtercards, and since the aftermarket companies cant steal or modify apples boot ROM, then …

There are many G3 upgrade cards available for said machine. The only problem with upgrading that one to a G3 is that i've seen a lot of monitor connector problems with the 61xx lin…

I painted mine, took out the DOS card, and put in a AV card and G3 upgrade. I don't use it though, so i guess the G3 card was a bit much. Oh well. One of these days I'm gonna buil…

G3 upgrade + Pentium Overdrive + good video card

I've got a 6100, and I decided to just get a new Mac. It's not worth it. G3/G4 NuBus upgrade + Hard Drive Upgrade + RamStacker/RAM out the wazoo = iMac DVSE - good graphics - DVD…

One word: NetBSD. Good personal firewall machine. You can use the onboard ethernet plus an ethernet card in the PDS slot. (6100s have a PDS slot, not? Thought they did...)

I've got a G3 upgraded 6100 with an AV card and it's been rock stable with OS 8.5. You won't be able to use the DOS card with any of the G3 upgrades, though. It can get rather ex…
