    Mac 9500 PCI snaptastic plastics question

    My 9500's PCI plastics are long gone and while the cards are still usable without them, I also like the idea of fixing that. I have started messing with some quite advanced plastic repairing and want to move to rebuilding/improving my 9500 box next. I will want to rethink the PCI cards...

    Rebuilding an Apple Multiple Scan 20" display

    Back in 1999, I bought a second hand Power Mac 9500 from a graphics designer, in order to start learning graphics design myself. This computer came with 2 graphics cards and 2 displays; an Apple Multiple Scan 14" with integrated speakers and a beautiful Apple Multiple Scan 20". I loved this...

    The amount of RAM you give to Photoshop also helps as it will not use the drive for storing temporary data. On system 7, I give 60MB to Photoshop and it feels a lot smoother than on 6.0.8 where it only has 8MB of RAM.

    The lag very much depends on your canvas size, brush size and the way you draw your strokes. If you do continuous big circles on a large canvas, there will be some lag. If you do small strokes with a small brush, lag is a lot less noticeable. I adapt my workflow based on that. I first draw my...

    Made on a Mac IIfx with Photoshop 2.5.1 under System 6.0.8 The first drawing I made with my newly acquired IIfx last year. No layers and only 640x480, quite limited by the amount of RAM under System 6.

    jmacz journey

    I have been using and loving my 9500 for the last 27 years (mainly for graphics design). I am so used to it, I cannot be objective anyway! 😅

    I agree it can be a pain when you want to manipulate the RAM (which you don't do that often when it's maxed out). However, you don't have to go through this process to access the PCI or processor ports. The plastics retaining the PCI cards are a pain though and I agree this is deffinitely a bad...

    I agree, the IIci design fits pretty well with the design of the big box IIs and SE/30. It was all looking like a very coherent line of powerful computers implementing the same design. That said, beauty is very subjective. @jmacz 's 8500 has a fast G3 CPU and 1GB RAM (in 1995!). I believe the...

    I would say the same! If there could be 6, I would keep the SE because a 68000 can read some very early software that no later CPU can read. if there could be 7, I would keep the Quadra 700 because 68040 @50Mhz! And I love its small tower form factor. Such a great collection you have anyway...

    A Power Mac 8500 with a 500Mhz G3, enough RAM and a fast enough drive is a killer video capture and editing machine under System 7! It can easily digitize SD videos at full size and full frame rate. I would keep!

    @Phipli I have tried Painter but it lacks a good layer engine. For this kind of drawing, I like doing draft, line art and colors on different layers. I always come back to Photoshop. @flexo, I use a Wacom Digitizer II tablet.

    That's because Photoshop is raster not vector drawing. It lets me draw naturally, just like drawing on paper with pen pressure transparency and thickness. This is how I like drawing.

    I would say monochromatic cartoon drawing with some anime/manga influence. I watched a lot of Japanese animation as a kid so my drawings will tend to reproduce anime and manga style.
