That's a mobo limitation i belive. something to do with the ide controller? and jaguar will probably still be absolutely horrendous on RagePro chips, i.e., unusable quicktime and opengl bastards.

I just bought a Radeon 7000 for my B&W G3. A steal at 110. But since I have PCI graphics, even the 32MB card doesn't mean anything to Jaguar's Quartz Extreme. What the hell is that? Aside from a faster data bus, is it really that different that they couldn't support it? I know you can plug...

haven't tried it yet but thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)

So I just did a freshy install of 10.1 and the Dec. 2001 Dev Tools. All the Dev Tools work except for one: Project Builder, the biggie. Whenever I try to launch it, it will appear in the dock for a split second, then disappears right away. No error messages, nothing. Just refuses to...

use Disk Copy to make an image of your Mac OS 9 CD. Mount the image. Get rid of anything of the disk image that you don't need/want. Copy over all the updates to the image, along with all your custom drivers. Burn that image to CD in Toast (don't forget to tell Toast to make the CD...

Hi all, I'm not new to the board, but i'm new to programming. Basically I need to fill some gaps, and doing it myself will probably be the best way to make sure i get what i want. I need to write a small app/script/whatever that will read the ID3 tags on MP3 files and extract information...

If you have a B&W G3 and no IDE drives, you are wasting some drive bays. While SCSI is good for certain situations, nothing beats a big fat cheap 80GB or bigger HD or 2. if you don't have an ATA cable, get one. Then go to www.pricewatch.com and get a nice price on an 80GB 7200 RPM drive. I...

I wish I had found that in my BBSing days. I wonder how slow that would have been on my C64 over a 300 baud modem.

Hi all, just a quick question to see if this has happened to anybody else. For some reason, even though its been working fine for a while, whenever I mount a server volume on one of my machines, it mounts just fine ... but with a "-1" after the name of the server. This isn't impeding any...

no fixes yet huh? i'm having the same problem, but my LAN is just TERRIBLY slow when both my computers are in X. File copies are painful, I can't stream MP3s cuz they skip so bad, it really is useless. I've only had the opportunity to network two OS X boxes under 10.1.3, does anyone know if...

i didn't have a chance to try the network thing with 10.1.2, as i only had 1 OS X box then. I just built a nice G3 from spare parts and now its running X.1.3 as is my G4, and now the network speed blows. I just can't win :( don't feel like reinstalling to be honest, guess I'll just have to...

I'm having the same trouble here. If I have one computer running OS 9, my LAN speed is fine. But if they're both running X, then, say, iTunes playing files off the other computer's HD will skip horrendously, file copies take FOREVER, its very distressing, especially considering how great OS X...

Shouldn't offer you any trouble either. Go ahead and try it, and good luck :) Not that you'll need it ;)

OS X is running very nicely on this machine! Had to swap out the drive from my B&W tower to install X, then found out that the CD-ROM isn't supported AT ALL in X. Oh well. Gonna try a generic 50x that I'm going to trade for this CD-ROM and hope that works. No dice on the 6500 drive, its...

Pulled the floppy drive out and stuck in a 5400rpm 1GB drive to use as a VM volume. It's getting painted black w/ silver trim this week, too. Need to temporarily swap in the DVD-ROM from my G4 in order to install X (i hope this works as this CD-ROM refuses to boot to an X partition. tried...

Ok, so I swapped the 128 chip out for a shorter 256 from by B&W. So I only have 896MB of RAM as opposed to a full gig in my g4, boo hoo, and my new G3 is up to 288. yay. here's the interesting part: found some great instrux online and overclocked it to a 70MHz bus, processor running at a...

Not only is that cheapo 52x CD-ROM workable, its BOOTABLE, and performs like a champ. Soon as my drive mounting sleds get here I'll mount the HD and CD-ROM permanently and install X on this thing. Yay! Also, a little note: I am using a 128MB stick of PC100 RAM from my B&W, but its a hair...

when you installed Mac OS X, did you apply any updates from disk that were not downloaded through Software Update? Installing from 10.1 and getting to 10.1.3 is not tricky per se, but you do have to let the SU app download and install the updates in the correct order. There is an update to the...

RAA!

It's a Rev. 2, so it supports master-slave ATA chaining too. I could buy a CD-ROM, but I honestly don't have the dough. Besides, I guess that would be a sort of "security measure" as a server, so no one can boot it from a CD and reinstall it or something. I dunno, basically I just wanna see...
