Try one of the Elgato EyeTV devices (I recommend the eyetve plus). http://www.elgato.com/ It's like having Tivo. Their software (eyetv 3) gives you the ability to time shift effortlessly.

Re: Beige G3, fitted with B/W Lobo
The board will fit, I have 3 beige G3s with BW boards (+ ATX power supplies). The ports in the rear of the BW board do not line up with the beige case so you will need to cut away some of the plastic. The other problem is mounting the board so it doesn't contact the case bottom; if any part touches you won't get startup or, worse yet, you might damage the board. You need to break the mounting posts off the bottom of the beige case. I finally settled on some self-stick plastic feet and supermount tape from my local Radio Shack. The feet are non- conductive and stick directly to the bottom of the board, then a piece of supermount tape will stick the foot to the bottom of the beige case. Disclaimer (before someone tries to have me committed) I only did this because I inherited a bunch of beige G3s and Mac parts that were being tossed by a local business. Considering the time involved and cost of misc. parts to purchase it's probably more cost effective to pick up a used G4 off the Swap List or your local Craigslist. Having said that, I have great fun using my beige G3 desktop, Sonnet G4 500 CPU, BW mobo, 1 GB RAM, SATA card with 3 SATA drives in a RAID 0 array, and a flashed GeForce 6200/256 MB PCI video card (CI and QE supported!)

I solved my first problem by buying a 800/400 Firewire cable and now can bring up the Sawtooth in target mode. However I have two hard disks in the G4, and my system is on Device 2. Target mode only mounts Device 1 on the Desktop of the Mini This happened to me with my G4 Quicksilver with two disk drives, my primary drive running 10.3.9 Panther. Making the QS the target from a then new G4 iBook running Tiger and then from an aluminum iMac running Leopard gave me only the three volumes on my secondary QS drive. My work around was to be running the Quicksilver and making the new machines the target. I was able to do the quick transfers of the Users folder. Migration Assistant was useless. I copied my email folders to the desktop of the new machines along with the mail preferences, as previously described in an earlier thread. http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list/t/aabee6132bfc9e3e?hl=en Then I imported the old mail into the new machines' Mail, along with the preferences which gave me the email accounts. I also captured my Safari bookmarks from the old preferences. Thinking back on this, I probably could have copied the Users folder from the QS primary drive to one of the secondary drive's volumes and let the new machines use the secondary volume. Al Poulin What I ended up doing was to clone my system partition to an external Firewire drive and use the clone with Migration Assistant. I did that before I saw the suggestion about unplugging the Device 1, which I might have done instead. I had the previously described problems with Mail and used the Apple support suggestion to prevent the app from ignoring Quit. Then I followed the recipe posted earlier here to reconstruct a slew of folders. I may have misunderstood the instructions and created empty folders into which to move the imported emails. I could have just moved the imported folders each out of the import box without creating the empty folders beforehand. It was my wife's mail account which has thousands of (not all necessary) messages. I also managed not to loose any new messages in the transition. I have had a couple of odd and disconcerting freezes with Leopard, but things seem to be basically OK. My scanner works and I have found all the printers. I now have to root out legacy files in obscure places that might create conflicts. Thanks for the help. I now regret that I have an Intel and cannot access the collected wisdom on this list!

Re: question
On 4/11/09 8:41 AM, Dan dantear...@gmail.com Broadcast into the ether: LoBo = someone's invented term. Should be MoBo or Motherboard. Actually I disagree. The reason it is called a Motherboard is that originally you installed a Daughter card on it (oldskool yo). When was the last time you heard the term Daughtercard used? Now you install PCI or PCI-X etc. cards. The Term Logic Board is more accurate as that is where most of the logic related processes are performed. But basically in the PC world it is a Motherboard and in the Mac world it is a Logicboard. Ultimately what will it be called? PCB? Printed Circuit Board (too generic)? Processor socket board?

SATA cables may not be tightly bent. Actually, they should not be bent at all, although a shallow bend is usually OK. In particular, 90 degree bends are verboten! ... unless you have the cables with the preformed 90 degrees at the connectors ;-) Don't get too concerned about neating up the SATA cables, let them loop in such a way that as you close the door you know they aren't getting pinched. I deliberately let them loop as I make the second connection. The joy of SATA cables is they are much less likely to inhibit air flow that the flat cables can do.

Sure enough the server access slowed down again. Un-installed printer - still slow Turned off AppleTalk - still slow Re-booted - still slow. What else is running AppleTalk? What other traffic is on that LAN? Oh my, that dredges up horrible memories of the days when we were routing Appletalk (Ethertalk) across campus. Whenever they had to work on the routers, we had to run around and shut down every Appletalk device, because the first device to wake up on an Appletalk network is the network master, and seeds the network ID's for the rest of the devices. We had to make sure the router was the first device to wake up or face endless slowdowns and the router wouldn't route until we tracked down the rogue Mac Plus or LaserbleepingWriter that had woken up first and said, in their finest Al Haig impression, I'm in charge here!, turned it off, broke the fingers of the user who had ignored the sysadmin's orders, and rebooted the routeragain. This fun routine made Macs EVER so popular. The MOMENT that Appletalk over TCP/IP worked, we stopped routing Ethertalk, and cheers erupted all across campus. I think we had a New Year's-like countdown for the router update. :-) It might be possible you've got something like that going on. Shut down everything that speaks Appletalk, and if you have a server or router that's speaking 'Appletalk', make sure it's the *first* device like that your turn on; otherwise just find the fastest Mac speaking Appletalk in the network and make sure it's first. There's a nifty application called Trawler (or Trawl, I forget, this was the mid 90's) that will diagram and identify devices on Appletalk networks, but it's been a dogs age since I've seen it in the wild.
