the tuner in my 6360 doesn't work, so i guess i might have one extra video input card, but i use it for a VCR hookup almost exclusively and now i also use it as a display for my Laser 128. this'll be my fourth set of Tuner/Video Systems and will go into the box from the original set as a backup for the other three. the kid just about had a heart attack when he thought his had died. one set is earmarked for my Sharp word processor hack.

They originally came either in a set or as seperate items, the guy still has 19 left, so you can probably get a set!

the kit did come with Videoshop, but i'd need to pull the box out to check the rev. if you need to know, i will.

wtf is teletext support?

It's 3.0, I got the kit Monday and it's all complete. I now have a 6300 powered 630 I can turn on and watch TV on from the other side of the room :).

It's a mini-brick, I would probably lose the credit card sized one almost stright away anyway

whenever the kid boots his 630/now 6290 with the credit card sized remote his friends eyes bug out! have you tried to get it to control music CD's yet?

i know you're probably not supposed to do it, but i built a PRAM Battery Pack out of an extra replacement PC (AA cells) CMOS Battery Pack. it worked fine, i think all i had to do was jumper the contacts for the fourth AA cell to get it down to the 4.5v spec of the original, dunno if the connector was compatible, i might have grafted on the one from the original PRAM bat, it was a LOOOOOOOONG time ago!.

I haven't tried the CD Player, the sound system is only 22KHz so it sounds crappy, a bit of a shame as I was going to use it as an MP3 player . Anyone know if any LS PDS Sound Cards for LCs are 44.1KHz and work in a Performa 6300CD??

---

well the LC PDS rev of the PAS 16 will probably fit, but it's been no joy on getting the NuBus rev to work with the PPC in the 2300c to date. if you can find one, you might well consider upgrading to a 68k mobo!

We are on PAL, which is a bigger screen size but inferior refresh I think. Whoever it was who said the picture was a bit pixilated was right, it is kinda crappy looking on a 17" screen, esp. the score display in football (soccer) games. Nevermind, it was cheaper than an 18" TV!

---

Never The Same Color Video looks a little pixellated on the 17" and on my old 20" and even the new 21" in the shop, but only from distances for doing word processing etc. from a more comfortable chair just a few feet away, even on the 21" CRT the 640x480 video output from a VCR (my tuner doesn't work) looks far better than NTSC from the same source on the 19" television in the shop. eventually the old 20" will replace the TV on my rolling media cart in the shop and it'll have a 630/vidsys and probably an AMD box with an All In Wonder Card too.

I was wondering. I have 2 64MB SIMMs in there that only work in a 630 an a 475 (to the best of my knowledge) and they don't like my 6300 board. I have the original 630 board under my bed and to be fran I don't think I'd even suffer a speed drop, the 100MHz 603e is a frankly rubbish CPU. The only MINOR flaw in your plan is I mentioned MP3s and you replied with a 68k solution. The two don't mix as we all well know.....

That's not true. It's the really crappy design of the 6300. See http://www.lowendmac.com/tech/x200.shtml for details. My 5400 with a 603e performs just fine.

if you wanted to go with some decent contraband, you might give the PCI equipped rev of the Q630 a try. a PCI sound card whould work wonders, i would think. the proc worked well for me and was a joy after i popped a 400Mhz Sonnet G3 with a 1 Meg L2 cache in that slot!

if you have the PC compatible rev of the 630, the soundbleaser daughtercard was supposedly a MUCH better solution than the mac side of the equation. i never really tried it and i don't know if the remote would still work, but that may be one more angle to explore.

If you ever wanted to know, you can also use Sony stereo/CD player remotes on the 630, as well as Sony TV/Video remotes. Dad has a Sony Hi-Fi, which he never uses the remote with. Several months after i got the 630, i decided to claim that remote, and the following buttons work:

Play, Stop, Back skip, and foward skip buttons These do their obvious tasks when used with the 630. If you press the Stop button while there is an audio CD in the drive which is not playing, the Mac ejects the CD.

Volume controls These buttons also do their obvious tasks

"CD" function selector button For some odd reason, this button launches and quits Apple Video Player. Very useful for when i want to watch The Castle, Titanic or ID4 but can't be bothered to go to the Apple menu...

Speaking of which...

I bought one from this auction, too. Since I only need the tuner and remote (for a 5500 that already had the AV card), does anyone need a spare of the AV card (composite/S-video inputs)?

Call it $10 shipped from NJ to anywhere in the US.

hmm... I need automation and playlists and things. SoundJam is still the only OS 7-9 player I have found that is any use for managing a large collection.
