This list has been a bit quite :-( Has everybody gone off and replaced their Quadras with Minis and OSX :-) In the continuing struggle to find useful tasks for old (but loved) equipment, I have pressed one of my Quadra 950 into the job of converting some of my LP music into digital form. This Quadra (aka FatBoy) is lucky. It's got a 5 drive carrier with 68pin drives hooked onto an Atto Express IV SCSI card. It's got 208Mb of RAM and a Yamaha cd burner. Unfortunately I don't have a CD bezel so it's blank at the moment. If anybody has one (probably from a WGS9150) I'll love one. FatBoy is also running a PPC601 PDS card at 66MHz. It also has a Digidesign Audiomedia II Nubus card and Sound designer II software. This I have hooked up to my stereo system and I have successfully recorded a LP sample. I have managed to burn this onto a CD which is playable on a normal CD player :-) My problem is I would like to convert music files to mp3 format so they take up less space and are more compatible with modern equipment. However, Sound designer doesn't cater to this (probably pre-dates mp3 :-). It can put them in AIFF format which allowed me to playback on iTunes, but its not compressed. So does anybody know of s/w that will either convert the raw files to mp3 or other s/w that will work with the Audiomedia II card and produce mp3 files? It's not difficult to search the web for software - it's just difficult to refine it so that you only get stuff of the right vintage. Cheers, John John, I need to do the same thing with my wife's record collection, and I'm not quite sure how to do it on my Quadra. I do know that iTunes will convert from/to AIFF/MP3/AAC, but that's only a viable solution if you also have a newer system. For myself, I just want to be able to import audio over the line inputs and save that as AIFF. I'll use iTunes to convert to AAC. Daniel -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: [q] Sonnet QuadDoubler
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.

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.

[q] A Major QuickTime Question
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.

[q] A Long Time...
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! -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Folding@Home - anyone get it working?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/) is a research project which is studying how proteins assemble themselves, or fold, when performing biological functions. They're simulating the folding operation by calculating snapshots of the protein at very small intervals. This is very compute-intensive, so they are using massively distributed processing. Users download an application or screen saver and their computers run these folding simulations when they are idle. There is no client which runs on a 68k Mac. There probably won't ever be. :) So to get it to run, there has to be some kind of x86 emulator which will run one of the supported x86 clients, Windows, Linux, etc. If there is such an animal as a x86 emulator for a 68040-based Mac, I could try running that. Another method would be to run something like SoftWindows, Wine, VirtualPC, etc. Has anyone been able to do this? If not, any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Q630 for a NetBSD fileserver?
Bhavesh, If you have 15 gigs on that IDE drive and since IDE drive support is new, I'd stick with running NetBSD off of that external SCSI drive to be totally safe. Much safer that way. What do you think, Pickle? I don't believe Bhavesh will run into any trouble using the installer and booter from his IDE drive -- might be a better question for the NetBSD/Mac68k list to answer. I'd hate to tell anyone to Go for it, dude! and then have them lose 15 gigs of data because of an obscure bug no one tested but assumed wouldn't happen. Having a few tape drives at work on our servers makes me wish I could afford that same luxury at home. I should probably start saving my money for a DDS-2 drive or a refurbed DDS-3 drive (nice and cheap DAT media). Good thing Pickle caught my goof-up about your CPU ... I just glanced through the LEM info on your Q630 and totally missed that part of the description. My bad!

Re: Q630 for a NetBSD fileserver?
You'll want to go to the NetBSD/68k page: http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/ Read the documentation (folks say BSD folks are mean to folks who don't read the documentation; I've noticed that you're more likely to be ignored publicly but someone might contact you off-list), read the documentation again, try it out for yourself using the installation instructions then jump on the listserv here: http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/#port-m68k You're in luck ... IDE drive support for your machine was added a few months ago to the current release (I.E. not the 1.5.2 release, but the development release). Read about it on the port page URL listed first in my post. Search the mail archives for info on this -- I'm also new (but have two machines installed! Whoo-hoo!), so I'm not sure how you'd install this. Takeshi's e-mail address is in the news section, I bet he could point you in the right direction. You might have better luck getting 1.5.2 running on an external SCSI drive, repartitioning the internal IDE, and rebuilding your distribution on the IDE drive. But don't quote me on that. The MaX list on LEM is also a good place to hang out. BTW, according to the machine status page, there isn't support for onboard ethernet or NuBus ethernet ... I've never seen or used a Q630 personally (this from a guy with 17 Macs ;-) -- what kind of network card do you have in that box? Most Asante cards are supported -- I have one in my LC 475 (full 68040 upgrade), but it won't work on my generic n-way 10/100 switch (I need a plain 10BaseT switch or hub for the older Macs anyway) and there's a vague mention of this on Asante's site (which is odd, because their EN/SC ethernet-to-SCSI convertors work fine with that switch).
