OK, so G4 Ti DVI has arrived :) Nice cosmetical condition, very, very minor paint loss (a few 1 mm spots). Works like a dream at 1920x1080, a real pleasure to see OS 9 at this resolution, especially that its elements (menus, fonts) are normally more compact than the ones in OS X. Seller wrote...

Got it! In nice working condition 667 MHz DVI version. I already have my Photoshop 6, Office 2001 and Tiger discs ready, but I have to wait for shiping from Germany ;) http://www.ebay.de/itm/221575891021?_trksid=p2059210.m2750.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Not an easy task, but with...

Oh, it became quite lenghty during my absence, so I'll try to answer in one longer mail ;)   Elfen - it is Lombard aka "Bronze keyboard" G3 version that I was thinking about. I want choosen machine to run OS9 natively. SCSI is rather not needed as I have in my PC (ironic, isn't it?). And yes...

Yes, a strange topic indeed. I'm looking for a good PB capable of running Classic OS. I was trying to find nice, small 1400 (my first portable Apple) but in Europe it is difficult. But I can see some G3 and G4 Ti showing here and there from time to time. Not an easy decision which to choose - G3...

As I said - 50 to 80 adapter would be quite cumbersome to mount and it would require some hassle with proper bus termination. Get ATTO SE IV and you can easily connect any modern, 68-pin LVD drive + LVD cable for cheap. As a bonus you'll get about 2x performance of builtin SCSI. To write Mac...

Yes, Quadra uses 50-pin SCSI. Adapters mentioned by me are nuBus cards - Quadra 610 probably needs NuBus adapter to use them (unless you already have it inside Quadra). With either of these cards you'll achieve about 2x performance compared to builtin SCSI and you'll be able to connect newer...

Yes, it did. But we must remember that LVD drives require external quality termination and that can become problematic. Sometimes it is just better to buy for about 10$ ATTO Silicon Express IV or FWB Jackhammer with wide, 68 pin sockets and cheap, terminated LVD cable - as a bonus we'll get much...

Charlieman, these are good news indeed :-) I was thinking about getting a LCD monitor for my Quadra 800 - I was just afraid of problems with sync on green. I have Precisioncolor Pro 24x and Thunder II GX cards - at least one of them should work then properly with LCD :-)

Yes, let us know :-) I'd love to hook a LCD monitor to my Quadra with Radius od Supermac card, but AFAIK all of these cards use sync on green only signal. It is not easy to find a CRT monitor working with this kind of synchronisation not to mention LCD :-/ That's why probably david__schmidt...

Something around that ;-)

I found this in manual of Adaptec 2940: I hope it will be helpful enough :-)

Why challenge? I just removed small metal plate from the left side of upper chassis and it created perfect pass through for even quite stiff LVD cable :-)

Yup, NuBus ethernet cards are common and cheap on eBay US. I have bought Farallon PN590a (recognized by 7.5.5 without additional drivers) for 0,99$ ;-) Don't be afraid of duty and taxes. All ware under 22 Euro of value is duty free according to EU regulations.

Well, 67 MB/s achieved by my Ultra 3 SCSI disk is merely half of PCI transfer capabilities (133 MB/s). Why does IDE disk have lower transfer rates - I don't know, perhaps it is my Barracuda 40 GB taken from G4 MDD that is slower, but I don't have other modern IDE disks to test them with Tempo...

Will (a) solution pass IP packets? Is it stable in real use? Unfortunately ( B) won't pass IP packets according to Asante so there's no use of this bridge for internet access :-/

Many thanks all for replies :-) I was asking about this card as I spotted SE/30 in nice condition for about 68 USD - maybe not the cheapest, but these machines are extremaly rare here in Poland ;-) But it doesn't have network card, hence my question :-/ I had a dream to make it my...

Yup, no problems finding these, and 64-bit versions work in 32-bit PCI too ;-) I have Tempo Ultra-ATA 66 and I was using it before ATTO. No comparison. Modern IDE disk connected to this card didn't achieve even half of read and write transfer of Ultra 3 SCSI disk (30 vs 67 MB/s read and 19 vs...

You're wrong. 133 MB/s is only teoretical max speed of this IDE incarnation. You'l never achieve this speed just because it's maximum speed of 32-bit PCI bus and you need part of this throughput for other PCI activity. And no single IDE disk can achieve this speed. As a matter of fact single...

Are these difficult to obtain? I was searching for them on eBay but among many ethernet cards for LC PDS slot and NuBus thera was none for 030 PDS from SE/30. Has anybody watching auctions to tell if they are rather rare or rather easy to spot and buy for sensible price?

Then this drive works as a narrow SCSI device and 2930 sould be more than enough. To achieve faster transfers (> 60 MB/s) you'd have to change controller to Ultra 3 SCSI type, LVD cable and LVD capable disk :-)
