Re: Will it work on a MDD?
I think the ADVC-300 worked on my old 1.5GHz PB G4, but I don't know if the dual models would work. Sent from a computer running either the SPARC, Itanium, or PowerPC architecture.

Re: Will it work on a MDD?
If you want to go the USB route, there are cheaper solutions that do just what the Roxio does. I use a device called iGrabber, which works perfectly for capture off VHS tapes. I've used it successfully with a 1.07GHz iBook G4, so your dual MDD should have no problems with it. The files it spits out will work fine in iMovie. http://www.amazon.com/Geniatech-One-Touch-Video-Grabber/dp/B002LRMOPO Chance Linda wrote: basically all I want to do is copy my VHS tapes and make DVDs.

Re: Which SATA PCI adapter will work in a MDD?
Hi Peter, The Initio-based adapters work well in G4 Macs. Less well in Intel Macs. Both the LaCie and OWC adapters are (were) Initio-based. The OWC adapter has switchable internal/external, and the external connector is indeed eSATA, just as the internal connector is indeed iSATA. Today I got my Hitachi 1TB SATA disk and the ICIDU PCI SATA controller card which has two internal and two external channels. Low behold: it has an Initio-chip model INIC-1620TA2 on the board. So there might be hope that it will work in my MDD G4? And might even be bootable? No ICIDU Mac drivers available though. Could I try the drivers from another Initio-based SATA controller card? What do you all reckon? It would be just wonderful ... I'm posting this from my Gmail account and hope that there will be no double post. I once even did a triple post accidentally. When I posted a reply I got a time-out and refreshed the page. So the time-out wasn't a time-out after all. TIA for your help.

Which SATA PCI adapter will work in a MDD?
Hi, I have loads of ripped DVDs and a big music archive and the four disks in my MDD are almost full. Today I saw that a 1TB SATA disk costs the same amount as a 500GB ATA disk so I decided to buy a big SATA disk and an ICIDU PCI adapter eSATA which has two internal ports and two external eSATA ports. Now I wonder if the SATA adapter will work in my MDD. Does anybody on this list know more about the ins and outs of SATA adapters in Macs? Will the ICIDU work? If not which would be your choice? I like one with at least one eSATA port so I can connect external SATA drives. Are SATA externals bootable? I guess not ... TIA for your comments.

Both the LaCie and OWC adapters are (were) Initio-based. The OWC adapter has switchable internal/external, and the external connector is indeed eSATA, just as the internal connector is indeed iSATA. The LaCie adapter has only external connections, but, alas, the connector is iSATA, not eSATA. For the LaCie, you would either use the LaCie external SATA cases, or you could obtain a the non-standard iSATA to eDATA cable from one of the many ePray vendors which ship from Hong Kong. The cables are inexpensive, about $3.99. Shipping is about the same. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
