Hi All,
In my ongoing quest to fix my Daystar MP 528, I am looking at a few 
video cards.  One is an ATi Mac64- VR PCI Card with a Mac monitor 
connection, and composite video-in.  The other two are TwinTurbo128M8 
and an Apple Mach64 820-0728-A.  Which one do you think is best?  I'm 
not looking for top-of-the-line, just something that will put an image 
on the monitor.


I've used all three.  My favorite is the TT128 but YMMV of course.


Next is a question about internal SCSI termination.  I have an IBM 4 
GB SCSI drive and a Yamaha SCSI CD burner on the internal cables.  How 
should these be set up?  What about termination and ID issues?

Are the drives on the same SCSI bus?  All of my Daystars have the CD-ROM 
on one bus and the drives on another.  In that case I'd terminate both 
drives.


Last thing:  Where to get parts, besides eBay?  I have seen many site 
s that recommend Tweek Digital, but their website doesn't have much to 
offer, saying "Coming Soon" on it.  Are they out of business?

The thing still hangs after the chime, a new PRAM battery, and it 
won't let me reset the PRAM.

Thanks in advance.
Kyle-


Check your ram.  Mine seem to be very sensitive ot ram interweaving and 
timing.
