Yay! I got my Irez Capsure from eBay (used). $19.99 and shipped fast for ground. I will keep you posted as to how I fare with it. I'm thinking of using QuickTime 6 Pro under OS 9.2.2 to record and save the videos or I may try Fusion Recorder (or whatever it's called) at it's max frame rate...

Hatta, I've used internal floppy drives salvaged from other retro Macs that will work on your SE/30. For example, I had a bunch of Power Mac 6100 series that were DOA donations. I stripped them all of their RAM, cache cards, cables, hard drives and floppy drives. Most of them used either...

I'm currently trying to replace that very chip (53C80) for another 68kmla member. I'll tell you this much from experience: I think this will be the last request for replacing those types of chips for now. I don't have the right tools to get the job done properly. I'll need an air rework...

My EyeTV is a USB v1.1 model from I think 2002 or 2003. It works great, although you have to have Mac OS X 10.2 or higher for it to run. It supports both PAL and NTSC (built in), component video or S-video with stereo sound. You also can connect it up via TV aerial or various different...

You say it gives you a light gray screen with the mouse cursor, but won't go any further? I don't know if this can be similar for the classic line, but on an SE/30, that same symptom means that the SCSI controller chip is bad and needs to be replaced. Either that or maybe some of the Network...

That's too cool, Classic! :approve: :D I can see what looks to be Mac OS 9.x.x running natively. What is the name of the software you're using to capture the video and sound? I can do the same on my Pismo, but I use an EyeTV under OSX Tiger. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

There should be a README file on what to do included with the download. If not, I can email the whole thing to you. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Okay, I looked around and my OS 9.1 Install CD is the only one that has a firmware update for your tray-loading iMac G3. It is firmware update version 1.2, release date May 19, 1999. It is about 1MB in size. I can send it to you via email or you can get it from Apple's web site, under the...

Let me check and see if the Mac OS 8.6, 9.1 and 9.2.1 install CDs I have contain other software updates you'll need and we'll talk further. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Okay. Now with the iMac running (that is, when it's cooperating with you that day), go into the Apple Menu (Top left corner of the screen) go into Control Panels, then select Software Update. Make sure you have the correct settings for Internet Access chosen as well before you use Software...

CompactMacLover, Wow. Sorry to say this, but I think either that guy has got to retire or you need to look into a different "less-biased" college/learning course. He sounds almost like Ken Olsen, co-founder of DEC, when in 1977 he quoted: "There is no reason for any individual to have a...

Did you show this project to your networking professor yet? Just curious. I was going to comment negatively regarding what was said about mac users, but decided to let it go. No need for a small thing like that to steal my peace. Okay, you forced me into it. Just look at the last quote in...

Um, link is not working. Time to go back to the ol' drawing board. :p 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

In the Apple menu, there's the Apple System Profiler. Click on that and just below the listing for the processor somewhere should be the version number of the ROM(s). Just post all that. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

What version of Mac OS is it running? Just curious. In a pinch, try removing the PRAM battery. Also, try removing 1 stick of RAM at a time until stable. Just a note: In order for Tech Tool Pro to boot on your iMac, you'll need to verify if the iMac has the right firmware update applied; I...

RIP. :( :'( Alas, poor Yorrik (sp?), I knew him well. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Yep. Time to pull out a copy of Tech Tool Pro v.4, Norton Utilities v.3.5 or the Hardware Test disk that came with the iMac, if you have them. If not, PM me and I'll see if I can burn you a copy. If it turns out to be also the PAV board, it kinda doesn't surprise me that much. That Mac is...

Actually, that's not entirely bad, Dog Cow. All that was damaged is the DC-In board. If the rest of the machine works fine, then you just need to replace that one part, along with anything else you were planning on fixing. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

It could possibly be the PAV board, but that glass breaking sound usually would indicate to me that the RAM could be faulty as well. Does that sound happen when the power button is pressed? If so, then you might want to try a new set of RAM. When a PAV board goes bad, typically the first...

Byrd, One thing to also remember is to check that 32-bit addressing has been disabled, when trying to run those old games. Some of them were created back when System 6 was the rage and they might not have been updated to take advantage of Mode32 or the like. So go into the Memory Control...
