You have uncovered my alter-ego, jlcox_bay-e: my whacked-out eBay name that occured since eBay doesn't let you put the word 'eBay' in your username... So I'd appreciate it if you let me have this one! ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit 68k Macintosh Liberation Army 00014 Macs liberated.

bigsadhu Junior Member Cayman Island 462 Posts	Posted - 24 May 2002 : 06:07:29 Just as a follow-up on this old thread... the card works great! In fact on the seat-of-the-pants scale, with it switched on in the Quadra 800 under 8.1, the finder feels ALOT snappier than the Wallstreet 266 under OSX...right up there with my 1ghz DP G4 at work in fact. I'm sure the radius card helps too though. Of course this is no scientific test , and I'm sure in any Photoshop shootout either of the newer machines would kick butt ('specially the G4 ), but finder 'reactivity' is - in my book anyway - one of the prime factors in what makes a mac feel fast or slow.

oldmacman Full Member USA 713 Posts	Posted - 24 May 2002 : 14:43:33 I have one of those IIsi VideoSpigot cards (not the Pro model, though). I don't like it very much; it inputs video in a 160 x 120 window and the framerate is bad. It won't work unless you downgrade to the ancient version of Quicktime (1.x) that comes on the driver disks. I suspect that it'll work better if you put an FPU in it, but the FPU costs more than the card itself! I tried hacking a IIsi Nubus adapter into the slot on the riser card (filled on the Pro by the video card) so I could have an FPU; I got the card to fit in the machine, and the FPU worked, but it wouldn't capture video. I suspect that the Pro card with the graphics card will work much better than mine with motherboard video.

oldmacman Full Member USA 713 Posts	Posted - 24 May 2002 : 19:27:26 Yes (it's got RCA-jack video in, and audio comes through the sound input on the Mac). The video capture isn't that great, but there is an app that will do live video capture, either to disk or to a window on the screen. I don't know that I'd want to play Nintendo on the IIsi, though. The capture window is too small. Macs Liberated: SE (with SuperDrive), IIsi, Quadra 700, 6100, PB 5300, PowerMac 5400 PCs liberated from Windows: 3
SpaceBoy Full Member USA 631 Posts	Posted - 24 May 2002 : 22:20:31 I too have an (plain) Spigot, and I've only used it a few times. I was always frusterated about having to use such an old version of Quicktime. I did run my playstation through it, when the Spigot was in HAL, my Quadra 9000, which was cool. I've never really used it for any serious work. Just my $.2 SpaceBoy AppleBASIC FOREVER!
