IF I STUFF IT ON THE QUADRA, THEN PUT IT ON THE PC
DISK, THEN UNSTUFF IT ON THE EMULATOR, IT THEN IS
READABLE, BUT I HOPE IT DOESNT HAVE TO COME TO THIS.
MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE FILE TO BE
READ, WITHOUT HAVING TO FIRST STUFF IT? YOU SEE, I
ALREADY TRANSFERRED LIKE A THOUSAND FILES WITHOUT
STUFFING THEM.

Re: [q] Sonnet QuadDoubler

2005-02-23 Thread Daniel Palka
Yes it makes a tremendous difference.
I use my Quadra 900 (with QuadDoubler) for everything at my second 
home.  Chat, email, light web browsing, word processing, etc...  it is 
a busy bee indeed

A Quadra 800 is fine for email.  Not too great for web browsing.  Yes 
you can connect it to your home network (ethernet).  You cannot use a 
QuadDoubler in a Quadra 800.

What do people use their Quadras for?
Is a Quadra 800 too slow for web access and email? I'm wondering can I
hook it up to my broadband ethernet router.

It is very very slow if you use a somewhat modern browser (Like IE 4 or 
Netscape 4 or iCab).

However I still use mine for web browsing when I'm at my secondary 
home.  I do not use the latest browser that will work, however.  I use 
good old Internet Explorer 2.0  It runs really fast on Quadras (!!!) 
and doesnt barrage you with annoying errors like Netscape.  Internet 
Explorer 2.0 is pretty stable.  The one reason why most people would 
never consider using it is it displays web pages terribly (it was 
written in 1996 after all).  BUT it is good enough to read the 
information and see the graphics on web pages.  Just not good enough to 
arrange everything right.  If this is satisfactory to you, then I 
suggest Internet Explorer 2.0.  It also runs on system 7.1.x which I 
like because it is faster booting than 7.1 and up.

I like to keep in mind that I'm using a Quadra for gods sakes and I 
don't really need to use all the snazziest latest stuff on that 
computer.  I have a G4 for that.

[q] A Major QuickTime Question

2005-02-23 Thread Daniel Palka
Quicktime has been around longer than AV Macs.  So how, in the days 
before the Quadra 840av, how in gods name did they import video into 
Macs to make those early QuickTime movies?

I searched for like nubus cards, scsi boxes, anything that would be 
able to import video, but I'm not turning anything up.

How can I import video to my Quadra 900 or 800 from my standard analog 
camera?  There has to be a way.  I really want to do this just for fun, 
so any pointers would be much appreciated.  Thanks

[q] A Long Time...

2005-02-22 Thread Daniel Palka
It's been a very very long time since I stopped reading this list.  
However I'm back now with the acquisition of a Quadra 900 with the 
Sonnet QuadDoubler  (YAY!)

Anyway I'm using IE 2 for web browsing on it which is great (for me).  
No error messages, kind of fast, and displays pages good enough for me 
to see the information (which means utterly terribly, but not 
unreadable) and that is just the way I like it.

Anyway, I would prefer to use Netscape 2, which seems to download stuff 
faster on my dial up connection.  The problem with Netscape (all 
versions) is that it barrages me with dozens of java and other assorted 
error messages at nearly every page load, sometimes so much that it 
crashes.  Can't I shut these stupid things off somehow?  At most, I'll 
upgrade to Netscape 3 if this will let me browse error message free.  I 
don't care about every single piece of code that Netscape doesn't 
understand, I realize that the browser is very old.  I just want it to 
work more like IE 2 in that it keeps it a secret...

BTW I'm running OS 7.1 and not willing to upgrade that either.
Thanks in advance!
