Did the Valkyrie even do 2d acceleration, wasnt it just a fancy frame buffer? The ole ATI Rages weren't the fanciest but I always found then to be pretty speedy 2d-wise.

Yeah, im pretty sure it should show a area for the USB bus up near the ATA and SCSI bus areas if it sees a USB bus. It must be able to identify it as a USB card but cant use it.

Just chiming in to the say I'm having the same issues on my PCC Powerbase. This is with a Silicon Image USB2.0 card too (that I'm 99% worked in OS 9 on a G4, as 1.1 obviously).

During my systems check this holiday, my Powerbase has been found... wanting. No video out, either built-in or my Radeon. Sigh. Cuda reset and different power supply tested. Gonna reseat everything and then start removing stuff till it boots. I was wanting to play some Powermac-era stuff too.

I apologize, didnt mean to double post.

After a million years after asking about people experience with lag and such with them, I've bought a Wombat ADB-to-USB adapter to use on my old Macs. The cats have destroyed my original ADB peripherals. Still love them though.

Would a hardware solution between the 68060 and the rest of the 040/030-based machine be something the Amiga accelerators used. Some sort of compatibility layer.

Was going to say the same, but the previous G3 versus G4 discussion was already linked.

Much akin to Intel Macs, or PowerPC macs during the transition to the next. Why would anyone spend time developing for a dead platform. I'm impressed with the numbers and then much less so. Clock for clock, I was reading that an 060 should be outperforming an 040 by 2 or even 3 times. There...

Im pretty sure no one is using an 040-powered machine for productivity anymore. Unless its in some industrial equipment or something, in which case its very doubtful you'll be throwing some weird third-party upgrade into it. Especially doubtful its a Mac too, anyway. I'm actually excited...
