Matrox millenium II question
I am in the process of getting a Matrox millenium II 8Mb card which has been running in a PC, and am wondering if I need to do any alterations to it to get it to work in my 7500 200/604e?

G3 Zif Carrier

Re: Matrox millenium II question
In addition to Mr Jones advice, I can add the following based on my experience with using Matrox cards made for PCs: before you can flash the EPROM you may have to set a dip switch that unprotects it. there may also be a dip switch to enable VGA. although there are extension and control panels for use with the card, they probably aren't necessary to use it. They just give extra control options. It will have a VGA port, so an adapter will be needed to use it with a Mac monitor. I have used Matrox cards/software with OS9 without problems. Hope this helps, tafkar on 6/23/02 11:15 AM, James S Jones at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1. You will need to flash the (EP)ROM to make it work in a Mac. The utility needed to do so used to be out on the Matrox web (or, perhaps, ftp) site. I probably have it, if not. 2. I believe there is an extension and/or control panel you'll need to use. 3. I will not work in newer machines, such as a G4. 4. It may not work with OS 9.

Re: Which ethernet cable for 16/100?
In a message dated 6/23/02 11:28:31 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The plug for the ethernet connection on this printer is new to me (as in not like the back of the computers I have plugged into the switch), and I'd like to use this as a network printer. What do I ask/look for? An A-AUI connector, which converts the proprietary Apple-specified connector to either a BNC or an RJ-45. An A-AUI connector essentially an AUI connector, particularized for Apple's machines, requiring less power than a standard AUI connector, and requiring less backpanel space than a standard AUI DB-15 connector. The same connector works on every Ethernet-equipped Apple LaserWriter I have personally seen. This connector also works on pre-Beige G3 machines, and on legacy (68K, e.g.) PowerBooks. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G3 Zif Carrier
One thing that i think you will need is the control panel, the one that is free. Did you get that when you got the carrier?

Re: G3 Zif Carrier
Hi Mark. I just bought a MACh Speed ZIF carrier with g4/450 for my 9600. According to my manual, at 50Mhz bus speed the carrier jumpers should be set 6,7,8,9 on. You will need to install the software before you install the card itself. -+-+-+- RPM Mark Rath wrote: I just picked up a ZIF Carrier, it's the XLR8 MACh Speed G3 and I have a G3 233 processor to put in it.

PCI Version No.
I have a PowerCenter Pro 210 with a Sonnet 300MHz G3 card installed. I would like to install a combo FireWire/USB card in my one remaining PCI slot. However, I've already tried two, the Orange Micro OrangeLink Plus and the Sonnet Tango, and neither worked. In fact, both hung up the computer necessitating a restart. Apparently these cards will only work in PCI version 2.1 slots. Does anyone know how to determine the version number of PCI slots? herb schulsinger -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: bus speed boost
Last year I bought a Speedy bus accelerator from the guy who now sells what is left of MicroMac. www.macupgradespecialists.com I used it on my 8100, 7100 and 9600. There were drawings for ID of the 7100 and 8100 clock crystals, but I had to hunt around for the correct one on my 9600. Generally, you can accelerate the bus speed of PCI Macs, but you have to find the right clock chip (there are sometimes many), or you have to know how to solder very small resistors (to change the bus speed of the stock 9600 CPU card). The Speedy worked well on the 8100 but caused serial and SCSI problems on the 7100 and 9600 when I went to fast. Sincerely yours, Grizzlygiant So, I've been working on a beige G3 for my son and found out you can boost the bus speed by moving some jumpers. Can we do something similar for those of us with PCIs?

CDR-W in an external firewire case
I've got a 9500 with a Mcallly PCI firewire card. I want to get an external firewire case and install an IDE burner. Do I still need to get a burner that is supported by Toast or will any burner work since its in a firewire case? I've seem some external firewire burners on ebay and my local Buy and Sell trader that say they are MAC compatible. When checking roxio support page these are not supported by toast.

Any really good $300 and under G3 cards people can recommend? -Eric Fry's in Southern California is selling the Sonnet 500MHz G3 upgrade card for $199. I believe it will work in the 7600.
