All AV cards and TV/FM cards are compatible with every other Mac that has the same slots which is 580, 63x, 640, 52xx, 5300 (not PowerBook), 5400, 6400, 5500, and 6500. Peace, Drew

Did you try the link to the Vimage driver I posted above? Peace, Drew

Ooh, I didn't think about this. I've also got a 9500/133 around here somewhere. The heatsink on the 133MHz 604 CPU is much shorter than on the faster 200MHz+ parts. Some processor upgrades (like some ZIF carrier cards) won't fit in the case with a big heatsink. That might be a problem for...

Is the 4400 motherboard ATX form-factor? How about the back panel punch-outs? That case looks like a great big aluminum box that might be interesting for some motherboard transplants... Peace, Drew

The 604ev (genuine Apple 604e processor daughtercard at 250MHz or faster) requires a Mach V motherboard from a late model 8600 or 9600. If you are running a 300MHz 604(ev) in your 8500, you must have already done that motherboard swap with an 8600/250 or 8600/300. So it will also run a 350MHz...

"He doesn't like you." "Sorry." "I don't like you either! You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems!" "I'll be careful." "You'll be DEAD!" No, that's not a direct comment on you, Christopher. It's just that your post made me think of a movie...

It's an odd duck. It's "PC-ness" doesn't particularly bother me. I see that as more of an insight into the evolution of the platform than as a downside. For me, the biggest drawback is the non-standard (for a Mac) RAM and low RAM ceiling. The only other PCI Mac with a lower RAM ceiling is...

Don't try this on OS X. The first time it auto-mounts the 2nd partition, you'll be very upset. OS X automatically creates invisible (such as .DS_Store) files for the root of every volume it mounts. Peace, Drew

Um, the 16/600 also has ethernet. Why bother with parallel and LocalTalk when you can use IP/LPD? I use a 16/600 that I picked up to do just this. It's a great workhorse printer, and every computer in the house (wireless or wired) can print to it. Pick up a cheap AAUI transceiver on eBay and...

Interesting. Is there an objective, side-by-side analysis of 1400 upgrade cards that show performance, heat, and power impacts? I've also got a 333 MHz Sonnet card that I bought from a recycler in China by way of eBay for a song, but I've been too lazy to bother installing it. Maybe when I've...

Try here: http://www.ppcmla.com/downloads/VPower_Vimage_PB.img.sea I stuffed up my installer disk image. I haven't tested the .sea file, but if everything worked as it should (Dropstuff 9, binary FTP transfer), then the .sea file should work just fine. Peace, Drew

The driver is required to activate the L2 cache. Otherwise, the CPU module will work fine. A G3 without cache is virtually the same thing as a 603e. I have that same processor upgrade for my 1400cs. It's a nice little card. It's too bad some of those upgrade manufacturers went out of...

... which sounds exactly like VMEbus. ;-) Peace, Drew

No, it's VME. NuBus-style connectors are used for more interfaces than just NuBus. Peace, Drew

Pics?

What? You found an 11b/11g card that works in OS 9? As far as I know, the Agere/Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco/WhoeverTheyAreToday chipset is 11b only. Apple moved to a Broadcom chipset for 11g/AirPort Extreme that works in OS X. The old 11b AirPort card is keyed as CardBus but it doesn't have the...

So, did you get it fixed? If so, what fixed it? Peace, Drew

You need software. These aren't processor upgrades that replace the stock CPU, they are accelerators that go in the PDS slot and operate alongside the stock CPU (which can't be removed). During the boot process, a Sonnet extension offloads execution from the PowerPC 601 onto the card in the...

Perhaps if you didn't use so many invectives, you would have more success in carrying on a civil discussion. At the same time you profess to be better than the posters above for not caring about the edit policy, you insult, belittle, and deride them. For someone who purports not to be acting...

OS 9 can't do "WEP passwords" very well. Is your base station a genuine AirPort base station, or is it 3rd party? If it's 3rd party, the password can't be used in OS 9. You'll have to find the hex key and supply that in OS 9 when prompted for a "password." Enter "0x" (that's zero ecks) and...
