Re: 9.2.2 and A/V on 8500

[James S Jones]

This is probably true of 9.2.2 running as Classic under OS X, but I'm 
fairly certain it's not true of a hacked 9.2.2 running on its own. I 
have such a system at work (with a G3 300 in it) and I have both played 
back from VCR and digitized video from my analog 8mm camcorder onto the 
8500.

There are two reasons I can think of why A/V might not work under 
Classic.

First, hardware not supported by OS X tends not to work under Classic. 
For example, the Stealth serial port on my B&W G4 (upgraded) will not 
work with serial printers under Classic (or OS X). It works find under 
native OS 9.2.2.

Second, unless you're using a hacked install of 9.2.2 as Classic, then 
you will have only a pure 9.2 installation. PCI Mac A/V isn't supported 
under a 9.2 clean install, as those machines aren't supposed to be able 
to use it. With the hacked 9.2.2, you have to start with 9.1 and 
upgrade to 9.2.1 and then 9.2.2. Support for A/V is still there after 
the upgrade.

I just read on the UnsupportedOSX list that the A/V on the 8500 and 
similar models doesn't work under OS 9.2.2. Does anyone know anything 
about this? (I was going to search the archive but I couldn't figure 
out a reasonable combination of search terms.)
