I bought my cheap SE for MIDI use months ago. I do have a lot of obscure software and barely figured out what will run on it. So far I have been able to run: Logic 1.7 - found the software somewhere shady, but I happened to have a working dongle for it. Alchemy - audio editor, don't remember...

I was looking for SE goodies and saw this auction, with 25k price. Collectible? Yes - but not that collectible. For 25k$ I could certainly have a beautiful case fabricated for my SE. And/or buy any number of other dream computers. ISPW? Symbolics? Onyx3000? A new Buchla modular synth? >sigh<

Depends how cheap you want, and/or how patient you are. You can probably score an AudiomediaIII or a Lexicon Core2 in the $20 range if you look around. It's always good to have some Mac-friendly audio cards around. Going the Soundblaster route sounds like a headache though.

It can be done, but I have not dabbled with it for some time. If your PPC has a fast-ish CPU, RAM, and upgraded SCSI or Firewire the results might be decent. I am searching now, I remember that somebody - I think a German hacker - made an improved streaming program for the 8600 which supposedly...

I was asking about dual 604es this summer, and IIRC somebody said that between various processor cards are differing multiplier issues. I think it was the MP 8600/9600 had the multipliers on the logic board instead of the card.

Ah, this old chestnut... What Coxy said. The electrical issues aren't much of a problem, IMO. But differing instruction sets kind of make it pointless for me. Probably more fruitful to explore 040 overclocking. Unless you have the source and skills to port some classic MacOS to 060, in which...

MediaPress encoding seems to be working! I don't have enough cables, I tried a few junkers I found and set them aside. This means I can't use my TBC yet. I tested a minute of tape and the results were quite nice indeed. One problem is that the MediaPress encoding is supposed to allow preview...

For a few months I have avoided using my Macs or buying anything for them. But I am getting over depression, wanting to mess around, and the wife joined a band. Things are starting to get a bit creative here again. So on a whim I started searching for Astarte video stuff. They invented Toast. I...

I do remember PlayerPro! I used it, with some degree of success, to listen to some MODs a friend made. I didn't know that it was around back in the 68k days. I have several versions archived around here somewhere, but I think they are 5.7-5.9, probably not 68k. If will look for any older...

There are probably a few ways a hard drive can be relocated in the case without too much trouble. I don't know quite where your network card fits, though. Nicest fit would be to bolt it to something already in there, such as extending off the back of your floppy cage so it just clears the...

Congratulations! I am still looking forward to my first G5.

Keeping me busy this week! Opcode Max 2.5.1 for OS 6 Arboretum Systems CD release #4: Ionizer, Harmony, Hyperprism, RayGun, Xx Arboretum Systems CD release #4.8: Ionizer, Harmony, Hyperprism, RayGun, Realizer both of these disks come with old demos of Cubase, Deck, Metro, Peak, SVP, etc...

Nice score! There certainly don't appear to be many of those out there. Coolest thing IMO is that adaptor PCB for running the D915 mobo in a G5 case. Even though it was the closest to a "supported" OSX86 hackintosh, support for this and other 32-bit boards is waning. Congratulations on your find!

Nice work, H3nry! I am surprised that I don't see more hackintoshes of such a kind. Great presentation and music, also!

When I said emulate, in this instance I didn't mean machine instructions, but the layers of abstraction which a virtual machine uses to interact through actual hardware. To my mind it is still "emulating " its I/O, but I guess I am likely to be misunderstood. I do try to avoid using the term...

My SE is starting to be a really nice box to work on, but several things about juggling disks and images have been confusing me: 1. I have 800k drives, but can't I use HD images? Even though I have 4MB of RAM, Disk Copy won't let me. Is there a trick to opening them, or a better utility for...

Thanks for the tip on the Corsair. The wife just bought a laptop recently and (supposedly) gave her tower back to me, so I am testing with whatever Thermaltake 500 Watt is in there. I will need a new PSU though because she hardly remembers anything. Just yesterday she accused my of stealing her...

What are you doing to get data from the DX to the Mac? Playing into a sequencer? Can you verify that it is accurately recording what you actually played? Anyway, first step is to verify your basic serial functionality, and MIDI connections. I do not have a Mac editor for the DX7IIFd...

I have been sidetracked for a couple of months, but now am again making some progress. I looked into salvaging some server chassis here but found a big, easily customizable case to put my MDD in. It is a Thermaltake SwordM which was getting liquidated. Tonight I removed the built-in mounting...

I really do not know, at this stage. Do the PDS slots look any different? I need to compare what signals are present. My guess is that the second PDS is interfacing with the 030, so it is not really passing through to the same bus. For now I will get a pinout and when I open it again in a week...
