Thank you very much for the reply, it cleared a few things up for me. Still how would I be able to play the midi drum set in real time? Just like a real drum set? Through a compu…

AVI is hard. You really want a G4 for that IMHO.

So if I have it right, I plug the drum pads into the MIDI drum controler then into the mac serial interface and then into powerbook. I load an old version of cubase Click to ex…

Actually, if its a 500, and reads a gig of RAM, it sounds like its a Pismo. Look under the display...does it say "Macintosh PowerBook G3" or just "PowerBook"? If it says, "Macintos…

The 9700 Pro was a great card for the PC, should be great for a mac too. What do you think of that Presto Plus in the Color classic? I have a Presto plus in a LC 550 and was wonde…

What does everyone think of a Radeon 9700 Pro? Any good? I Bought one on ebay the other day.

You'll need OMS...thats when the fun REALLY begins!

If there are no drivers and the Mac doesn't recognize it at all, then unfortunately the only workaround will be to find a different wireless adapter. One that I use with a lot of s…

Hi I have a Powerbook g3 lombard running osx tiger and I am attempting to connect to the internet with a linksys wusb54gsc wireless addapter. There are no drivers for apple only w…

I bet the hard drive failed first and that's what caused the lock-up.

Yikes - All this because of a lock-up. :O

And I thought that Silverlining 6.5.8 (with FireWire firmware update) was the latest and last for 9.2.2. However, the news that 6.5.9 gives you is the most chilling that can be re…

So this is what I was able to get out of Silverlining Pro. Pic Text

I think I have that Silverlining software that came with my LaCie 500GB USB drive when I got it last year. I'll check that out.

Whether in target disk mode or housed in an external enclosure, which are both perfectly suitable starting points for mounting the 'Book's HDD on the desktop of the G3, the 'Book's…

Most likely the hard drive just croaked at that point.

I am trying to play AVI movies. I copied it to the HD and I still got a very jumpy picture. Not smooth play at all and I was only able to get it to run with quick time. I tried VLC…

This forum is ALIVE I like that. What software can I use apart from the ones mentioned. I know I succesfuly installed Cubase on the Powerbook...

And this is a good opportunity to remind ourselves to back up our data now, if we have been remiss in doing so. Click to expand... which is pretty much the reason i rarley stor…

what software do you use with the midi interface, and what hardware do you plug in? Click to expand... Last time I plugged in a MIDI setup is quite a while ago. The software …

I tried the Target Disk Mode, but it didn't show up on the host (G3). When I start up the 'Book, I put my ear to the area where the hard drive is, and it can definitely hear it spi…

Target Disk mode makes the target (victim?) drive into an insensate appendage of the host computer, just as if it were physically installed as an internal drive of the host. Cli…

First, try transferring a movie from the stick to the hard drive to see if it plays better. You still haven't mentioned what file format you're trying to play. Overclocking: htt…
