Quadra 800

[Phipli]

Or maybe if I may be so bold, can anyone take a picture of the inside part of your bezels and case front so I can get an idea ?

You'll want a photo from an Quadra 800 fitted with a tray loader CD driver really. All we'll. Able to show is what our mix of machines are. None of us (that have spoken about it) seem to have a Q800.

At what resolution? It's OK on my LC 475 but that's @ 45MHz (accelerated with a clone of a weird Formac accelerator although there's other ways to get those running faster).

Anything not 320x200 really.
But I just realized that the game does not seem to simply scale the picture. When set to 640x480, it actually seems to compute 640 rays per frame. That would explain a lot. (In addition to the executable being maybe not optimized for anything more than 68020 ?)

I hoped to be able to understand if other cd bezel have an equivalent eject button system and se if the withe crossbar is thinner

On the CD bezel question, I recall having trouble with mine also. It was maybe four years ago, but as I recall, the bezel from an 8500 would not fit the Q800, and I went back to using the original blank (I have some external scsi drives, so that was no special bother). The machine was subsequently sold on prior to a cross-country move, so I can no longer check.

It seems the white bar was made smaller on post CD-tray models :

Yes, seems that Q800 (early ones at least) and later models with same case have actually a slightly different front
I don't want to butcher my nice looking Q800, I'll see if I can get a different front adapted without using a dremel.

You can actually mostly manage without the button to be honest. You can eject from inside the OS.

This had not even crossed my mind
I'm too PC oriented
I'll print a bezel without the button hole and try like that. It's better than the external drive or the facade swap with a 8100/8200/8500 I think.

Thanks !
