    I probably used up all of my luck for the rest of the decade: Quadra 950

    I honestly don't have any intended use for the video grabber, it'd be a nice exercise in just slightly older tech than what I cut my teeth on in college when taking film making classes, but isn't super high on my priorities list. If I came across the cables/ felt up to the task of wiring up a...

    I probably used up all of my luck for the rest of the decade: Quadra 950

    Thanks for all the advice on identifying the cards in there. The video card ended up being a TrueVision TARGA 2000. I am still having issues getting everything to work using the cable that came inside of the 950, but using a single device cable with my Blue mounted out of the way I was able to...

    The Holy Grail of PCI Macs: Daystar Millennium Quad 604.

    Do you know anything about the history of this particular machine? That was a huge outlay of money to get one of these and I always love when at least part of the computer's history is told to the new owner. edit: Just saw you'd been asked and answered. Super cool. Thanks for posting photos.

    Scored a beat up Quadra 950

    Ah ok, I started to get excited that maybe his pick up was even better than he thought initially.

    Scored a beat up Quadra 950

    Is that the WGS PDS Card? It doesn't look like the PPC Card and I don't think they made many other cards for the Quadra PDS slot.

    Scored a beat up Quadra 950

    A fellow recent acquirer of a 950! I hope that your road to getting it up and running is painless.

    I probably used up all of my luck for the rest of the decade: Quadra 950

    I still haven't been able to figure out how to properly get it to boot from my BlueSCSI, this is the first Mac I've owned with a multiple connection SCSI cable, and I don't know where I should have the Active Terminator in the chain if I'm trying to boot it without the SyQuest drive connected...

    I probably used up all of my luck for the rest of the decade: Quadra 950

    I'm unfamiliar with the name so I'm not sure if it's a brand or some type of RAM, markings on it read 64 on the left edge, 1 on the right, with SMART SMAP04 turned on its side on the 64 side of the stick. Chips themselves are marked OKI Japan MSI4400c-70SJ 44655199A9Z. edit: found it...

    I probably used up all of my luck for the rest of the decade: Quadra 950

    Also an ATTO SiliconExpress 4 SCSI card, and an Ethernet card that I can’t seem to find a manufacturer info to properly identify the card.

    I probably used up all of my luck for the rest of the decade: Quadra 950

    There’s a Truevision card I’m trying to identify right now with 2 daughter cards, 1 adding S-Video in and Out and the second containing what appears to be still image processing chips, one was labeled LSI JPEG CODER. There’s also a bank of 4 slots for 64 pin memory sticks. I’ve got to convert my...

    I probably used up all of my luck for the rest of the decade: Quadra 950

    Got a bit of info from a friend who only goes for vintage PCs to check out an estate sale and hit the room upstairs that no one seemed to be going into. Picked her up for $20. Want to get things organized before I try making sure it powers on, but hopefully I'll have good news on the life of...

    Best Apple Monitor for Quadra 700?

    Mine did this the first few times I was messing around with it, I found that if I turned off the display and turned it back on the green tinge was gone. Also make sure you aren't accidentally using the Sync on Green settings for the adapter.

    Best Apple Monitor for Quadra 700?

    I've been using a Dell F173FP that I picked up at a thrift store, my 700 had the full 2MB of RAM and it works well with my DB15 converter that's set for a MultiSync 16, 640 x 480 gives some tearing, but 1152 x 870 at 75hz and 256 colors looks fantastic and works for most of the software I wanted...
