Been tinkering with Snapz Pro some more, went down to 256 colours and 640x480 resolution, the smallest I could select, and it's still not capturing properly, just killing the computer. Is there any way to capture the 9600's video using my MacBook Pro or G5 tower?

Thanks. I've just given Snapz Pro a go and it's just as bad as CameraMan, worse actually. Have lowered screen resolution and colours (to thousands from millions) and it causes the whole computer to slow down massively as soon as recording starts. I even changed the scratch disk to the Medea...

Hello. I'd like to capture as video files, with audio, what I'm doing on one of my vintage machines (spec: OS9, PowerMac 9600, 400Mhz G3, 1GB RAM), does anyone have any insight on achieving this? I tried CameraMan 3.0 but the resulting video was very choppy, only seemed to capture a couple of...

*bump* Guys, do any of you have any words of wisdom that might help me resurrect this monitor? What is the component that I've broken? How do I replace it? I'm keen to have a go at saving this, but need some help! Component level repair is way outside my comfort zone...

Cool, that supports what little info I've gleaned from elsewhere. I'll hit the net up for the Mac software package later on and we'll see!

Hullo. I've been wanting to get a video capture card for my 9600 for a while and grabbed a complete Mirovideo DC30 Plus set the other day. Perusing the manual that came with it, it only specifies PC hardware, no mention of Mac. There's not much info to be found by Google, but one forum post I...

Hmmm... That sounds doable. Could you point me at the specific heat sink you used please, and what's involved in fitting other than modifying the mounting holes? Thermal paste?

Yup, I'm coming to the same conclusion; LCS dead. Everything points to it, not least of all the peculiar gurgling sound it made when I laid the tower on its side and booted yesterday afternoon... Oh well. I'm not going to muck around trying to refurb it, it looks overly complicated and not...

Hello folks. My G5 tower (dual 2.5, liquid cooled, 7GB RAM, 2x300GB HDD, 2x23" Apple displays) appears to have died. I fired it up last night for the first time in a few weeks (have more or less fully migrated my photography workflow to my MBP over last couple of months) to pull off and archive...

Hello. I recently acquired a Promise Technology "fastTrak100 TX2" PCI ATA card and I want to use it in my PM 9600 with a IDE-CF card adapter. However, I'm not sure if these are "plug n play" or need drivers? Google isn't immediately availing me of the info, so any ideas? I stuck it in a PCI slot...

well, we have some progress... I can now confirm that the cable works! However, my portrait display now doesn't... I thought I'd have another go at seeing what I can adjust inside the case, so removed the case and top shield and hooked the monitor up to my 9600. On booting the computer, the...

*Bump* :)

Thanks for that, although testing like that is a little outside of my skillset... :( So the monitor doesn't look terminal? Is that a consensus view? I'll keep looking for cables/adapters. More questions. I want to have this running hooked to my 9600 as a second monitor. That is possible...

Gentlemen, some developments... OK, monitor arrived, but I had to source a cable. Managed to get one via a post I made to Usenet, for free too! It's an Apple cable, 13W3 to DB15, but the 13W3 end only has half the pins that seem standard, but the chap assured me that it is the correct cable for...

I like your thinking! ;) It's not that I dislike the design, I actually think it looks really good. I've just never seen a portrait CRT in the flesh before, quite jarring!

Thanks for that. Messages the seller but he won't ship outside the US.

Huzzah! The Portrait Display just arrived! What a strange looking monitor... :) No cable included, sadly, and boy, what a strange port to find a cable for!!! I certainly don't have a DB13W3 cable in my parts bin... Anybody got a spare?

I'm not intending to do anything really demanding on this machine, certainly not yet anyway. Just looking for a pointer to a good all-rounder of a card that'll run two monitors! One will be the Apple Portrait CRT and the other is a MultipleScan 14.

As subject, I've acquired a portrait monitor I want to hook to my 9600. I don't want to stick a second card in another pci slot, as I already have plans for them all! So, which pci graphics card with dual output is recommended for my 9600?

I've given the imic and the like some thought, but I don't think that they'll be up to the job of transferring the data as cleanly/efficiently as I'd need for the radio digital modes to work well. So I'm definitely looking at a proper card. The M-Audio revolution looks perfect, but they're very...
