~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 25 Apr 2002 : 19:21:54 Well, I got this cool NuBus card from bigsadhu: it has S-Video in and out, a wierd mini-DIN port and a BNC connector. It doesn't work in any of the video apps I tried, so I assume that I need drivers. Using a program, I got some driver files from the card's ROM, but it's a resedit file. What can I do with this? Hack it into the System suitcase? ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit 00014 Macs liberated

Hack time! e-mail the train site that used that card and a couple of others (i'd do all of them and try more engnes than just google!) that come up as hits and ask them where you can download info/drivers/compatability info and ask for advice on getting your new toy up and running, betcha somebody emails the software/docs to you! oh yeah! don't forget to invite them to enlist, i think we could use more members with first hand experience gettin' all this crap online the first time around! they might really get into helping you kiddes (an' dinosaurs like rex!) get this kind of paleolithic crud back up an'runnin'again! jt ™. .

Flash Full Member Australia 637 Posts	Posted - 08 May 2002 : 02:02:03 If you're trying to hack the ROM into the System....you may want to check this out ftp://ftp.apple.com//developer/Tool_Chest/Devices_-_Hardware/Drivers/Driver_Installer.sit.hqx Make your own extension/driver (??) As near as I can make out, what you do is take any (copy of an) extension and this will remove the resources, and install new ones from a resource/resedit file. cheers Flash! 68k MLA ParaMedic
Flash Full Member Australia 637 Posts	Posted - 08 May 2002 : 04:52:33 hmm that would make it a good setup for a situation where you want to take time lapse pics. for example, connect it up to a camera then set the Mac to take an image every couple of minutes (or whatever time you like). You could make your own video security system for the home or office. But you could get more creative :-) Depending on what you're pointing the camera at could make for an interesting series of shots. Sunrise, sunset, moon and stars, goldfish tank, a busy intersection with people traffic lights and cars.... then move the pics to another Mac with a bit more grunt, and turn it into a movie! v cool Flash! 68k MLA ParaMedic

I did just that with mine :D. scripted it to take pics of clouds n the moon through the night - and that looked freaky... WEBCAM IIfx? jt ™. .
~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 08 May 2002 : 18:18:37 Cool! Thanks, guys. I scanned it last night: now I have to install it again! This will fill the 5th NuBus slot... ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City

Frame Grabber Cards Image directly supports four frame grabber cards for acquiring images from video sources, such as TV cameras and VCR's: the Data Translation QuickCapture, the Scion LG-3, Scion AG-5, and the Scion VG-5. All allow brightness, contrast and pseudocolor to be adjusted during "live" capture. All allow continuous histogram display and "live" paste, which can be useful for image alignment. markymark mentioned it in the MPegDec thread and i noticed the cards they support for framegrabbing. http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/about.html http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/manual/intro.html#ove found some more: [image158vdm.hqx] ImageVDM is an enhanced version of NIH Image 1.58 that supports the Perceptics PixelGrabber, PixelBuffer, PixelPipeline, and MegaGrabber video digitizer boards. It's a "fat" binary that runs natively on PowerMacs. good luck! jt ™. .

FYI, I found it hiding in an obscure folder deep in the festering swamps of the OS6 Carracho server. Now if this don't get me a rank, I don't know what will! Actually, I'm really glad I found this... I was feeling a bit guilty about palming off a useless card on you . Let us know how it works. Cheers! CC PS. Goddamn. Just remembered about those t-shirts I ordered. I'll get on the case with payment and delivery instructions real soon now. I promise!
