Quadra / Centris

840av site in the offing - ideas?

Author	Topic
SiliconValleyPirate Junior Member United Kingdom 273 Posts	Posted - 10 Jun 2002 : 16:35:03 I'm planning to open a website devoted to everyone's fave Quadra, the 840av, later this month or early next month (depends how it goes!). It's called Mighty 8 and will be a sub-site from the fpm domain I use (probably fpm .gotdns. com/m8 ). I need ideas. I already have 4 projects: Jackhammer card fitting RAID in the 840av Spigot Power AV guide NuBus Video card installation Guide but need a few more to flesh it out a bit, I will make it mostly like FPM itself and still keep graphics fairly low as even the crushing power of the 840av is not very good at JPEGs! -- Mark Benson FlatPackMacs http://fpm.gotdns.com 2nd Lieutenant - 68kMLA LC Quartermaster Flat Packing Macs for 68k MLA airlift excercises Macs Liberated = 14!

dreader Starting Member Germany 3 Posts	Posted - 11 Jun 2002 : 01:53:53 hi, my 840av: 64mb, 4mb, 2x2GB HD Audiomedia2 and thats the question: Radius Rocket Stage II..what can i do with it in a 840av? Isn´t it a projekt too? dreader
cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 11 Jun 2002 : 08:46:03 The Stage II Radius Rocket is, essentially, a second 40MHz '040 inside your Q 840av that can run tasks and whatever you want, you can even think of it as a Dual-40MHz machine. It does have it's own RAM, though, which you can max out at 128MB. The only drawback is that you have to be running system 7.0.1, 7.1, or 7.5. That kind of puts a limit on some of the software you can use with it, but for certain dedicated tasks it can really scream. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 I Have No Legs!

Rockets and AV macs are both notoriously finicky when it comes to compatibility, do they actually work together? jt ™. Trash Hauler: call sign: eight-ball C.O. AC-130H SpecOps 68kMLAAF
cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 11 Jun 2002 : 10:38:07 Well, Radius says RocketShare works under 7.5, but I've never tried it, so who knows. and yes, Rocket's and AV macs don't mix too well. Expect video capture not to work, at the minimum. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 I Have No Legs!

shaktiman Senior Member United Kingdom 1226 Posts	Posted - 13 Jun 2002 : 12:40:43 A dedicated 840av site? will it feature a project to create an 860av? 68060 cpu upgraded rom all top specs support for 30 gig & higher hard drives support for 50x cd roms along with all origional ports how about a docking type system? ie:- somthing like the duodock? just plug it into the back of the quadra and hey presto you can connect all modern/standard peripherals. yes a dedicated quadra 840av site is definitley called for shaktiman

shaktiman Senior Member United Kingdom 1226 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2003 : 11:30:46 Well perhaps a site needs to be like a story, with a beginning, middle & end, how about what the 840av was, its origins, then what the 840av was at its height & then what great things can be done with an 840av. What caught my attention after re-reading this thread is this quote: BTW, with all this talk about Rockets, does anyone know where i can get RocketShare? I might be able to get a Rocket for my 8100 if i can get the 8100 to go, and i can't find RocketShare anywhere, only RocketWare. :( If an 8100 has an 040 rocket then is this machine a powermac or a 68k? Doubbly if a rocket was made(was it ever made) that had a 601 cpu then could that be fitted into a 68k & then would that be a ppc or a 68k, Finally if we build a teleportation machine & put an 840av in one pod & then attempted to transport it but, oh no, a pesky pc had sneaked in with it, what came out the other end was half pc half 840av.......(ala The Fly) I am now awaking from this nightmare in a cold sweat shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive os 8.1 128 meg ram, 500 meg hard drive PPC7600/132, 4.23Gig & 500 Meg drives, 8X cd os 8.6 Performa400(deadintheattick) 3 monitors 15" & 14" & 14"

Citon X600 Junior Member Canada 206 Posts	Posted - 03 Jun 2003 : 03:55:44 I want to be a part of this as I have a 840AV. I'm not sure what I can do but....I can at least offer you hosting for your page if you would like it. :) Later next month I wanna see if I can do some hacks to my 840AV, make it a road warrior. :) Great minds...Great minds...Think Different.
