I'm at a loss as to why Microsoft got rid of FireWire networking from Vista and 7. It was really handy being able to use FireWire to connect two computers together without needing a switch or something in between. Not to mention the ability to use a Mac as a hard drive connected to another Mac with Target DIsk mode enabled (great for getting files off a messed up/old system).
@Rarrin9378 You say patato, I say Potato , who's to say?!? Logic board to me would entail mention of the ICs for a particular purpose, whereas a motherboard has several circuits and tasks entrusted to it
Quicktime seemed kinda hidden on my G3, and I can't get VideoLAN to work on OS9, you need updated OS10, and it's rather nice for Adobe Flash videos, off YT for example, the PC is actually easier to use, and you have ATI All in Wonder as well as Firefire capability
Even more so, in the prior clips of this presentation, I thought it was whoever filmed it. Small Computer System Interface? I own two PCI cards for it now, one from an HP Kayak server with two drives and Win2K shared among them (4 partitions or so) 10,000RPM speed on SCSI
@MetallicBill Thats because you need the DVD decoder chip added onto your graphics card. If yours didn't come with the DVD-ROM drive, your video card doesn't have the DVD decoder daughter card on it.
@insaneiaq Doesn't work with DVD decoding software? I was reading on XBL, Soft Machine's famed Robert Wyett used a G4 Apple to make a recording from his home and uses ProTools software, that was interesting. Also in Widescreen Review, they published from a G3 Mac back in 1999/2000
I took a photo of the difference between the Rage cards. On the left, the card that came with the G3 that has no DVD drive, and on the right is the one that came with the DVD-ROM version.
Look on Photobucket/insaneiaq and find the picture that has both cards
@insaneiaq Have you explored tools then online? I tried software players, anyway, there's a floppy bracket slot, on some G3 Macs this has use as ZIP drive, not sure I can mount a ZIP in mine, the door doesn't allow it but I think there was also a problem fitting it correctly, Mine's still apart! haha
@insaneiaq I found it once I put "people" between slashes for the URL, worked good. I see it is silkscreened APPLE, though I wonder if Apple actually made them? A good healthy number of vid cards of the era allow daughter boards but I cannot find a single one available!??! I have no idea where they are, but I have a more modern 128MB Radeon 9200 maybe I should put in the Apple G3??
@bgggbb iMac G5 is PPC, unless you just mean the original Intel iMac which used the same enclosure as the G5. Also, most professional audio and video equipment uses FireWire because it's a more consistent data stream for direct to computer recording/play, and it's somewhat common on some higher end external hard drive enclosures. It's hard using USB when you've experienced the speed of FireWire for large drives lol.
Why? There's plenty of USB and Firewire around, a DV port for digital video IS Firewire. Ieee 1394 in fact. There is a 400/800 speed difference (G4-5?)
It is! I am still using my dual MDD 2003(last before the G5) and absolutely love it! I have a PC already, so running intel is not a problem as both my computers are networked..
hehe, USB 1.1 and Gigabit ethernet built in in 1999 - nice.

lol the 6gb external disk drive is a huge brick. Now, you can get a 16 gb flash drive which is 100 times smaller
