    Truevision TARGA 2000 Pro driver

    Here's the Mac drives for the Targa 1000 and 2000 cards, Nubus and PCI versions. Let me know if this works for you. EDIT: Seems like the .zip file is too large. Need to try again.

    Truevision TARGA 2000 Pro driver

    I should have this too. I saved CD-Rs of the Mac and Windows files from when I had the same card. I don't have access to a Mac at the moment and haven't found anything that will open the Mac CD. I'll try to get one set up in the next couple of days.

    Paint Code/Color for Metal Parts of PPC Cases and Any Actual Beige LCDs?

    Thanks. I checked out the thread and it looks like I did actually see a spray can paint recommended but it’s not the platinum that I need. I don’t think I need the beige for anything but that Heavy Hammock looks really dark, at least on my screen.

    Paint Code/Color for Metal Parts of PPC Cases and Any Actual Beige LCDs?

    I've got a 7100 and a 9500 That need some cosmetic work. I've had good luck retrobrighting Macs in the past and the plastics aren't too yellow on these systems. I'm going to go ahead with that assuming the 9500 doesn't crumble when I open it. They do both have some scratches on the metal parts...

    Laser Printers: Vintage vs New(er)

    Update on my laser acquisitions. Laserjet 5M (14MB, 7K pages, network card), NEW duplexer, NEW 500-sheet tray, and real HP high-capacity toner cart. Total so far = $264 including all shipping. Haven't assembled it all yet (will do it after the move) but all in very-good to new shape. For...

    Laser Printers: Vintage vs New(er)

    Well I just won a LaserJet 5M on ebay, only 7K pages. Look to be clean and nice and white, unlike the one I have at work that is badly yellowed. Total pice with shipping = $95. Looks like a duplex will run me $50 shipped. No toner with the printer though so that's about another hundred or...

    Laser Printers: Vintage vs New(er)

    I've decided I want a laser printer for home. Mainly because my HP all-in-one that is a few years old sucks, at least as a printer. If it decides to suck up all the paper at once and then print a little bit on each page, relegating them all to the scrap paper pile, one more time it might just...

    Thanks. Now if the ebay seller will just accept my offer...

    Dream peripherals (the return)

    I can't believe he still has all that Radius stuff listed! Any profit must have long disappeared in ebay fees. I bought what I think was his second to last StudioArray at least 3 years ago. I still have it though its suffered from mod attempts. For some reason I wanted to remove the...

    Mach V board in 9500 case?

    Have you thought about moving the power supply? The Mach Vs were power hungry. I have a 9600/300* with a 560W power supply. * For sale...man I need to get around to posting these things in the for sale section. Too many places to post...

    ATTO Silicon Express IV (SEIV) Driver

    Anyone have the driver for this card? ATTO has been no help. I had one before and couldn't get it to work. I can't remember if I didn't have the driver then or if there was something else strange that needed to be done with the card to make it work. Ended up just switching to a FWB...

    Dream peripherals (the return)

    That reminds me. Wasn't there a PowerComputing model that had a socketed 604e? Maybe it was never produced or I have the wrong company. Anyway how about faster IBM PPC upgrades, single or more processors. They've got to beat a G3 at some speed lol. I've tried. Didn't work out. For one...

    Mac Prospecting Trips/Events

    Ok, how about some stories about your routine or one-time Mac scavenging experiences - even if they didn't land you any "conquests". The reason I bring this up is a few years ago I had one of the best times of my life (some people would say "sadly" but scr*w them!) digging around for computer...
  15. Q

    Dream peripherals (the return)

    Its just as much fun to try to remember seeing something that fits somebody's wish...even if it turns out you're remembering things that never existed! [:D] ]'> As in Nubus cards in a PCI Mac or PCI cards in a Nubus Mac? You can do the first if you want to pay for the Second Wave expansion...
