interesting choice of drive brandname, wonder how many 1.3" hdds you could possibly find these days compared ratio-wise to finding an ibm mini drive which I think had actually end up in the early ipod too etc
I don't have any other examples in mind right now but if I think of something I was directly curious about i'll mention it here. I've indeed seen these limited versions of photoshop too. and interesting to know about re the early start of finalcut itself btw
while finally doing a bit of early2023-late cleanups I was thinking a bit about the hypercard 2.3 box I have and hmm i'm curious if some softwares were always meant to be released with a bundle included or did sometimes two variations exist for a short time like the vanilla kind of original...
may or may not be specialized software to go together with what may be basically a 'dumb' framebuffer-type capture card, but either way these two seem very close in descriptions even if not either nubus or "not short" unlike yours: https://imagej.net/nih-image/manual/appendices/frame.html and...
regarding the iifx terminator updates above, I know it may not be much real help but as sherlock holmes said to watson "how often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
on a half-related half-offtopic note this is what is somewhat interesting about the way they did (and sometimes still do) things .. some people would simply retract features/libraries from the fullsize version so its only a matter of adding the license file/key [with or without downloading a...
a very interesting thoughts indeed. guessing that the quadra would have to run system 7.5 or newer which corresponds with the actual early pci powermacintosh's as far as cards support natively went leaving only the question of the os actually seeing the bridge chip itself
adb lasted a bit longer as internal-only bus in term of the powerbooks/ibooks .. I forgot exactly how long but I'm rather certain all g3 were still using it in some manner and its only the g4 era ones that finally really kicked the "last" legacy bus off in favour of usb
just if anyone might be...
I don't really have anything more to add to this good if not long original post. I did some time ago try look up fuse for a few days but after having problems simply trying to run it I just decided to simply delete the whole thing instead and shortly checked kijiji for if there would be any g4...
@cheesestraws mm good thing I guessed rather than saying that it was actually so. I mean I looked up how much pins aui had and it somehow corresponded .. didn't know about regarding cable attachment differences
interesting combo card, then again i've heard of other kind of interesting combos on...
I've for quite a while been looking into trying buy one or two 36gb hdds for myself and it may indeed seem a bit large but at least it'll let me do several bunch of 'full install' cd games beside keeping a local folder of historic-sized movies etc. I know 72gb seem more frequent on ebay but I'm...
a video card won't have that unusual black port on the back plate, I'm really guessing this is some sort of network card specifically for auiðernet (not able to see what the black port is really shaped as to be certain) .. as for the many identical chips around one of the two large chips mm...
@bigmessowires yeah for a while different resolutions used to have slight different acronyms before simply all resolutions low to high basically just got called 'vga' alone and thats that (re svga, xga, etc)
either way 800x600 at thousand of colours would had likely needed 1mb vram and f you...
I don't really have much to directly say about this but I otherwise could maybe think of two small things to mention from myself tho
1. I don't know about finding beige rather than black sheathed "svideo connectors" (haven't really looked) but otherwise you could easily sap 20mA or whatever from...
i know i've heard quite a few mentions about the g3 imac's but I've always wondered if thats due to the extra heat and vibration from being stuffed together into one unit or not..
so mm yeah my question is re if theres anything to look out for in one of these standalone monitor as well...
@CMW85 afaik there wasn't really any external disk drives for macs except for the model-specific powerbook ones to themselves more or less, and excluding the few early 68k macs that could use the same external disk&floppy drives that the apple ii's used. so basically you'll have to rely on the...
@LaPorta and who (excluding linux cli powerusers for scrolllock as far as I have heard) is using these three dos-era print/scroll/break keys anymore for a long time too? I prefer the presence of visual-visible f13-f15 to simply assign more occassional user-defined macros to instead but mm :-)...
@mikes-macs when I was skimming through quite a bunch of old magazine scanlets (especially vintageapple's) before I did look at random samples of these classical full-page ads aside to any hardware-related q&a text sections that I somehow happened uponto and I don't think I had ever seen anyone...
