well @DarthNvader correct me if I'm wrong but it would seem that since the processor's system interface bus has to connect to a bridge chip to get ram or anything in the first place so it would seem simple to design/have a minimal chip that both bridges the 'accelerator' cpu to the host bus and...

somewhat offtopic but many raid/network cards were specifically compatible with 66mhz slots (although you do have to look out for the 3.3v-vs-5v keying with specific cards) .. even then since consumer kind of motherboards generally only bothered with 33mhz slots I have doubts that there were any...

@David Cook tbh compactflash is still current (even if specifically eg in term of consumer cameras its a limited market atm) and you can still buy a new 64mb media if your particular industrial machine still needed it. like this for example...

there were two major options for that "unlicensed" (as I recall apple never really meant for it to be utilized?) slot as per these two photos: http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/mac/mac_box_imac.jpg https://auctions.afimg.jp/n151326104/ya/image/n151326104.1.jpg as seen the haromi one was a...

@Trekintosh but anyhow you'll need the power supply and monitor-out pins at a very bare minimum, always could try tap out the disk drive (its a much smaller ribbon than either scsi or ide pins-wise) if you want to,unless you were going to stick to cds/diskimages alone and in fair theory you...

ah yeah sorry I was thinking of standalone monitors when I loosely compared performa versus power macs, cheers still as for regarding internal screen size, and regarding black macs .. I guess in theory someone could repaint an all-black imac (even the keyboards already have black keycaps so...

heh well heres a coarse comparison of just four for now; multiplescan 17 @ trintron @ march 1994 multiplescan 1705 @ shadow @ september 1995 applevision 1710 @ trintron @ december 1995 multiplescan 720 @ shadow @ november 1997 on a side note to above, the trinton dropping to shadow seem to...

as for regarding the internal crt itself hmm I can't help wondering if that was for to try further set "performa mac" and "power mac" names apart? but what would I really know tho (even then everymac says that the power mac of that time could had been either a shadow or a trinton monitor both...

actually @Trash80toHP_Mini it was not only 4-digits but 3-digits models too I went to quickly look it up for curiousity sake and hmmmm well heres the surprise as per everymac, the aio performa came out first before the non-aio performa did so that may explain why the harness was originally...

@Trekintosh yeah I think for sure that one big reason it went into the harness too was due to the aio's which precludes placing the monitor port onto the rear of logic board itself because that would make it awkward for internal displays otherwise

gorf well sdi itself still is 'current' but if we're talking about 480 or 720p videos then yeah thats from quite awhile ago whereas the current sdi standard can quite recently handle 4k video! either way regarding capture resolution and disk speed altogether, wasn't that also basically the...

ah interesting gorf, seem the two companies had very similar card designs then as the right one still looks exactly just like the targa pci card re the replaceable few variations of daughter card to 'upgrade' the acute card model itself (on another note one variation of the targa pci card only...

sorry got avid and adobe mixed up there, thanks for pointing that out and @GorfTheChosen thats two variations of the targa pci card I think both low (with added daughter cards) and medium range but I'll had to recheck my notes placed elsewhere? I had been seriously wondering about one for...

I wonder how a era-compatible copy of avid premiere from the garden site would had liked your setup considering that avid had been making their software compatible with system os and then-typical capture hardware options for quite awhile (then again there also was that "cutdown" avid videoshop...

@croissantking yeah could be inclined to agree with that. and also as far as I recall yet, the 7.5-vs-7.6 debate seem to only be more reliable on pre-pci hardwares because it seem like certain nubus era things breaks under 7.6's different codebase pieces afaik

I know its not quite the same thing but I guess that one could use a voodoo2 card to basically do ati>3dfx>tube 'loop' internally? as even a more basic card like that still has some particular improvements over the onboard chip I can't find the specific rage/voodoo one I know was out there but...

btw @Trash80toHP_Mini sorry what with everything going on offline-wise lately I probably got a bit mixed up, I was thinking more about re the "comm slot bus" hack to somehow get a working additional pci card instead which very likely might had as well as cut into the monitor/tv frame above where...

its only the voltage and minimum ampere that really matters as if you use a 5v 900ma adapter with a 5v 400ma device it'll simply only draw 400ma then (but trying use a 5v 300ma adapter may cause weird behaviour if it ever bothers wanting to initially function at all tho)

@Trash80toHP_Mini as far as I know of more or less for certain you need about 1.5mb (or round up to 2mb vram) to get 800x600 and 2.5mb (round up to 4mb as 3mb didn't seem to had been any sort of official size not surprisingly) to get 1024x768 in term of full million colour at either resolutions...

unrelated to 68kmla itself but @Trash80toHP_Mini is right as quite many laptops eg only do 1024x768 or even 800x600 internally but the vga port can actually do at least 1600x1200 if the external monitor in question indeed could utilize that otherwise
