    Potentially Stupid RAM Hardware Mod Question

    I never upgraded the ram in my 4400, side effect of having too many Macs, but on a Beige G3 a similar problem exists, and the machine only saw half of the ram. I never had a problem with that anomaly though.

    Bad caps leading to slow performance ?

    Maxis lists the color classics and LCs that leads to 16mhz being considered as acceptable, and Moby Games lists 68020 as base.  :huh:   Might not handle large cities well though if you went with base requirements. early box

    Does anyone know how I might get this off?

    Try Goo-Gone first, it is gentler than Goo-off.

    Yellowed(brown?) Performa 550

    Now that is a Pasta! Be very careful with the plastic, it is probably very brittle too. Alternative [insane] option... spray painted black for Macintosh TV Clonery!

    Boxed 4400/200

    Vpower 325/1MB would have been a nice boost if it was compatible, but was not, only the 300/1MB. Still when you think about it, Interware did a great job making solid cards for a short lived line.

    Factory options for G4 GbE

    Solid advice, a lot of the older disks are still floating out there. When the machines were pulled from service and sent to recyclers they sometimes took the drives out to sell separately or to "destroy" if required.  I installed many DeskStar 75GXPs around that time, and somehow survived...

    Factory options for G4 GbE

    For what its worth, at the time I recall a lot of the stock drives we (being the lab I worked in) was getting Quantums, but on bare bones (5400rpm) stock configurtions they might have been WD or Maxtors. Suffice it to say, most of those stock drives were yanked out immediately and replaced with...

    Carrera040 in Daystar adapter?

    Generally cache cards (Daystar, Carrera, etc) all need CACHE-slot adapters, that is clearly marked cache (and in some later adapters are marked accelerator). Any other type of slot adapter (nubus/pds) would be bad, very bad. (The term cache is confusing, but that applies to all upgrade cards...

    Boxed 4400/200

    Boxed 4400, did not think anyone would save it, but the Japanese market is wonderful. The closest I will get to a boxed 4400 is the complete Accessory Kit.  G3 Upgrade to boot! Is it a 4400/StarMax specific model or could it also work in 5x00/6x00/TAMs? I did consider trying one of my...

    How to make old QuickTime movies on a modern Mac

    Early Final Cut Pros came with a plethora of bundled apps but its all a blur now of what came with what version.  :undecided:   The bundled Media Cleaner was the EZ version.

    PCI cards for PM5500?

    FireWire/USB Card, but there are only two cards that are compatible: Sonnet Tempo (First model) & OrangeLink (Original model) These cards use a patch to allow the machine to see them, all other FW/USB cards wont work sadly.

    4400/200 - dirty to clean

    Nice cleanup job! And you even have the video ram upgrade in there. My 4400 sadly did not have that. I hope you get the sucker working.

    How to make old QuickTime movies on a modern Mac

    Yes, one would think Since Sorenson would be vastly superior to Cinepak (the dinosaur of codecs!), but alas nope. The things we got rid of, with no care in the world.  8-o I wonder if Compressor 1.0 is any good, but cant seem to find that either... yet.

    Mac IIfx outputs green video

    Nothing beats a solid well cared for sharp Trinitron display. I have a Samsung LCD that has no problem display video from my Q700 and Radius/SuperMac cards via a no-dip vga adapter. Do you have another adaptor to try The Dell monitor you have should have SOG support.

    How to make old QuickTime movies on a modern Mac

    Checked out the samples; Cinepak was not as bad as I remembered it, and it played well across the few Macs I tried them on. the smaller Sorenson files were questionable.  I wish I had kept a copy the boxed Sorenson package or Media Cleaner Pro that was bought for the Lab I worked for in...

    How to make old QuickTime movies on a modern Mac

    Must have had a brain-toot and had imagined a far more elaborate project of a custom video. I look forward to seeing what the conversions you did will look like.  A very, very long time ago, I had an Apple QuickTime sampler CD of some sort that had the 1984 video. albeit a small 240x160 sized...

    How to make old QuickTime movies on a modern Mac

    Oh Nice work! I was wondering if Sorenson was even 68k friendly, but you have proven, it was probably optimized for PPC. How long is the actual video you plan to use on the SE/30?
