will the CD drive still work once the 630 Motherboard is swapped into the 5200CD AIO chassis?

seems to coincide with info on this page: http://lowendmac.com/1994/quadra-630/

did the quadra 630 also support the video in/out module that the 5200 CD supports?

yea im not interested in the converters..  the EGA/RGB monitors looked different especially in a dark room at night when your 10 years old playing DOS video games ;) i just wanted to get that 16 color glow one more time! for nostalgia purposes, i never had a mac when i was 10 i had a tandy...

its like impossible to find an EGA 9 pin monitor in my area for whatever reason i guess they were all recycled long ago

Apple Color Plus 14" Display  just had a question re:using it in with a vintage PC, (im having trouble finding any old style late 1980s RGB monitors for sale) is it an RGB/Composite type display? i know its old but im not quite sure if its EGA or VGA compatible via adapters i assume it has...

yes there are pcix sata cards for mac... and i own them;) i know sata is the best.. i was asking if SCSI > IDE or if IDE == SCSI 

i also remember that the b+w g3 "SERVER" systems we had at the place i worked at in 1999 i think came configured with SCSI cards + SCSI drives..  that was floating around in my mind when i made this post although i never wrote it in my post.

there was no specific system in mind, my comment stemmed from the fact that i have tons of experience using SATA drives in G4's (to great effect) but little to none experience doing the same with a SCSI card + physical SCSI drive. re; SSD's i think they are wasted on a g4... the seek times are...

thanks for sharing your insight Elfen!

has anyone here got experience using a SCSI hd on a b+w g3 or sawtooth? for me personally ive seen tons of benefit using bootable SATA pci card adapters on these machines but i've never actually used a real internal SCSI hd connected to a SCSI pci card.. like an adaptec is there any...

ok doesnt look like macdrone is going to chime in guess this thread is over.. thanks guys

  ^^^^ :)  ok u said 650 + *800* not *700* my bad

ok cool.. if his ide fails then i guess ill just go buy a quadra 650 or 700, like bunsen said prob my best bet.

is macdrone going to do his own test aswell?

i wasnt saying that there was a fault in what u did uniserver. i am in your debt for checking this out.. thank you. i was just saying that there was stil a chance it was a problem specific to your actual units... ie: u are using a 5260 + not a 5200.. and as you said, u have had them in a shed...

theres still a good chance it could have been because of hardware fault in his specific hardware - especially since we are talking about stuff that was cheaply made 20 years ago

are u 100% sure that theres some reason the IDE will not work? i mean.. i think it would make the most sense to slide the old 52xx motherboard back into place and boot up with that to try to initialize the IDE drive.. and then, after its working, swap motherboards back and see if it works?/...

for the record tho http://retromaccast.ning.com/photo/1672786:Photo:6096 this guy says right here he put a 6400 board in a 5200 case and it didnt require any modification. except taking out the pci riser which was obviously too large to fit.

Uniserver, if u want to test the 630 in a 5200  i would very much appreciate it. if u want to pm me and discuss  prices for a board .. the one i was going to buy came with the av board +  a ethernet PDS nic.  not sure if u have those parts aswell but sounds like u might?
