NIGHT STALKER
The DVD's only got S-Video & Composite out and the Projector has only got VGA and Something or other not nearly as good as S-Video in, IIRC. So running the S-Video straight into the Tuner Card and getting the pixel doubled 320 x 240 as a progressive scan VGA output will very likely be better than any other possibility. I've been watching VHS and DVD movies on my tuner card thru composite in for years and it leaves very little to be desired on a 21" CRT. S-Video should be a big kick in the pants, in terms of image quality.Just my $0.02 after tax, but I reckon you'd be better off installing a simple video switch to select between the DVD player and the computer video into the projector: that way you don't lose 75% of your pixels by routing through the QVGA Apple Video System.
Nope, they didn't have any matte Plexi after telling me over the phone that they had it in stock, ergo, the flat anti-glare glass freebie!Nice freebie Flat, I assume? Did you pick up the plexi at the same time?today's FREEBIE Conquest!!!! / a, cut to size, piece of "glare control" AKA: lightly frosted glass.
My Bad! It was a 10" CRT and I'll take some shots of the slots I had to cut into the insides of the case for the trimmed down mounting ears! So far I've found all the 10" monitor's innards and what's left of the case. The @$$ END of which is a cantilevered goiter stickin' a fer piece out the back of that gaping maw in the back of the Classic Case!:?: How is that going to fit?12" CRT / in this case
Goodie, Goodie Gumdrops!!! [] ]'> )Not borked at all, AFAICT. I've run generic cheapie media card readers under OS 9 before - the cards show up as drive volumes, as you'd expect.I'll have USB /Not to mention a Card Reader Cage, if that's possible under Apple's (probably borked, per SOP within the InfiniteLoopiness™) USB implementation. :
I think I said I was going to do that in a post above, I'll either clip the harness pins to split the signals or just desolder them and then patch wire the external floppy ribbon cable and take it out the unused LCIII Card Port! I just LOVE thru-hole connections! [] ]'>how about preserving the floppy chain so you can connect an internal floppy drive (externally) should you need to do any floppy boot based debugging? A simple DIL header somewhere on the exterior (rear?) should do the trick.
NoPro, I thrive on collaboration and welcome any and ALL suggestions and questions!I hope the string of questions and suggestions doesn't suggest I'm in any way detracting from the awesomeness of this hack |) The way the DVD tray sits in the expanded floppy slot is particularly neat. Did you have to trim down the tray at all, or was that just good fortune?
As for the near perfect fit of the DVD's Tray, that was good fortune . . . and about seven years of watching out for the perfect Trayloading Optical Drive! The fact that it was a DVD Player w/S-Video Out and sitting right there at CrapShack when I was returning that first borked projector, was pure dumb luck/AMAZING GRACE! [] ]'>
I'll post an update later or tomorrow, the lovely young ladies of the Caribou Coffee Crew will be leaving soon, and so must I! [] ]'>
