Hello,
I'm trying to play some old games that don't work properly (no
sound) on my powermac g3, especially the game NetTrek (avaliable for
free at
http://mac.the-underdogs.org/index.php?%20show=game&id=98) among others
The powerbook duo 280c seems to fit the bill nicely, since I don't
want to take up room with a huge desktop just for a couple of games.
From a post on comp.sys.mac.games:
"A number of games "broke" outright when the original AV Macs came
out for two main reasons: they didn't have the old sound chip the
other Macs had, and they used the new SoundManager 3.0 (in their
ROMs) to handle sound. ALL the new Macs -- the PowerBook 500 series
and the PowerPC-based models -- now share this problem"
I was wondering if anyone knows if the powerbook duo 280c has the
old or new sound chip.
If you happen to have run netflix on a powerbook duo 280 with sound,
it means it has the old sound chip.
I havnt run netflix, but I _think_ it has the old, pre-AV/PPC sound
chip. What does the chip look like ?
Mad Dog
