I know its not adc but remind me if I'm wrong, didn't some/all g4's also depend on a direct psu tap for the firewire ports too? I forgot if this was where 24v came from too or it rather was just the more common 12v rails being tapped from instead

have to agree with obeydaleks.. even then I will just add these comments; itx is just simply atx without several more pci slots so I guess it might depend on the user's card(s) wishes, just curious why atx? 12vo is more progressive (and much smaller to deal with), assuming that adb is native in...

its not the portable kind (bit on bulky size especially) but even then there is the datavideo dac-5 and some other datavideo products that should work with osx (as they appear to simply show up as generic dv feed to the os afaik) if anyone is curious? even then be mindful that some of the...

hard to say for sure but I *think* its spelled 'hc' (which unforunately is an audio-spammed term on the web now) since 'ch' appears to be a different kind of company&logo that has nothing to do with cables/cords hope someone else could know more

yeah I figured that as much early on and unfortunately a 800kb disk looks very much like a 1.44mb disk so I pretty much did have to 'power-thump' the drive quite a few times till I had finally skimmed through the heap of non-retail disks I had, with the 800kb[and 400kb?] ones being set to the...

I doubt this is related to the iomega drives but on a funny note, the imagination ls120 drive doesn't "like" 800kb disks when being used with osx and in a weird way actually won't want to eject these at all - but you don't have to freak out, just pull power cord out then the usb cable .. then...

I almost thought I would help but the one particular site I sometimes like to refer myself to seemingly has no actual entry for pict format but somehow does mention it a few times in the eps format page nevertheless https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000246.shtml I guess...

not to be a bit too cruel here but this sounds like "percussive maintenance" with something not too blunt (so if you were thinking of using one then I'm going to have to tell you to put that sledgehammer down *right now!* hehe..) but yet enough to make the old thing still work again hm?

thanks @Byrd theres a few references in general on the 'ducky' avid forum and even one digidesign pci chassis mentioned on os9lives so the mac support indeed seem to be out there .. and yeah if I somehow end up buy a chassis kit for some reason then I'll happily post about it in here

after having posted this unrelated random find https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/eu-ebay-finds-thread.37466/page-50#post-556393 I had to think a bit again about having looked online a bit there and there on the web ever since friday with regarding to magma pci's.. does anyone know if...

mm thanks @NJRoadfan I had simply been thinking about being able to have 1024x768 (or a bit higher) in million of colour as my primary screen but just wondering if I was going to bother with a smaller second monitor which would had otherwise ran off the onboard graphics (since the pci card only...

just had to wonder if one could had used a dedicated pci video card as the primary monitor and still utilize the onboard graphic controller for a secondary monitor too or is the way the hardware/software set up such that it at bootup detection would always be marking the onboard output as the...

@Trekintosh just in case you might be wondering about this too, I don't know if this applies to all of them or not but if your a/v card doesn't have a 10-pin header for the apple tv-or-tvfm tuner daughtercard then it is only a few passive components and a new header (or I guess one can hotwire a...

I don't know anything about them but a quick look at the personality card's density seem to suggest that theres something else on the card that the g3's logic board is always looking for all the times. even the most basic audio-only personality card still has quite more chips (nevermind varying...

I don't know versioning history so I may be wrong but with regarding to no 7.02 or 7.03 it might be either a private internal number that was never to be released or was buggered in some way toward the end that on fixing it up the next number was automatically chosen on public release instead...

well @DarthNvader correct me if I'm wrong but it would seem that since the processor's system interface bus has to connect to a bridge chip to get ram or anything in the first place so it would seem simple to design/have a minimal chip that both bridges the 'accelerator' cpu to the host bus and...

somewhat offtopic but many raid/network cards were specifically compatible with 66mhz slots (although you do have to look out for the 3.3v-vs-5v keying with specific cards) .. even then since consumer kind of motherboards generally only bothered with 33mhz slots I have doubts that there were any...

@David Cook tbh compactflash is still current (even if specifically eg in term of consumer cameras its a limited market atm) and you can still buy a new 64mb media if your particular industrial machine still needed it. like this for example...

there were two major options for that "unlicensed" (as I recall apple never really meant for it to be utilized?) slot as per these two photos: http://www.thedodgegarage.com/3dfx/mac/mac_box_imac.jpg https://auctions.afimg.jp/n151326104/ya/image/n151326104.1.jpg as seen the haromi one was a...

@Trekintosh but anyhow you'll need the power supply and monitor-out pins at a very bare minimum, always could try tap out the disk drive (its a much smaller ribbon than either scsi or ide pins-wise) if you want to,unless you were going to stick to cds/diskimages alone and in fair theory you...
