Never had a Mac Mini, how well have they held up over time?

Avid models have a cable at the end that connects it to a DSP board, easy enough to tell the difference.

Targa cards used in AVID machines need a serial to work tied to the card, but the stand-alone retail versions do not.

Look for a floppy disk image for installing, that should use the CDROM in an Apple drive.

D300 uses the Pitcairn XT GL architecture, D700 uses the Tahiti XT GL. So, you are looking at A HD 7870 vs a HD 7970. The 7970 has a TDP of 250W so 2 of those plus whatever the CPU draws is a lot of power usage. I wonder if Apple got crossfire working well on 2 GPUs. Is the D500 an option?

Nice monitor. $2149 in 1994 which is $4800+ in today's money. 1280x1024 @ 75hz isn't too shabby. Does it work?

The CDR image #9 I assume.

https://www.macintoshrepository.org/2200-orange-pc You have to sign up to download more than a 100Mb file which the CDROM is.

Which card are we talking about? The Orange PC Setup generally has options for floppy drive (using the Mac drive) and emulated and shared drives. Once you start installing W95 from the provided PC boot floppy you get to the point where the install asks for the disk 'CD-ROM setup boot disk" is...

You can't mount a Windows CDROM?

I am sure the newest Top Gun will save money using the noise from an Xserve instead of recording real jet engines. ;)

There are some cool old cards that are accelerated and only do 640x480 at 256 up to 24bit like the Supermac ColorCard/24. Thing is they are hard to find these days, and most people prefer the high-end high-resolution cards with DSPs (and they are expensive).

So, what does a set of 8 home built simms run these days?

You can soak it in white vinegar for a few to 24 hrs. (depending how bad it is), wash with soap and water then dry. Once cleaned you need to coat it with something to keep it from rusting again (silver primer would do the job).

Think I have a different revision of that card, not sure where it is.
