Pismo was released February 16, 2000 and discontinued a year later

just about the death of the vhs

that being said i got about 2000 classic english!!! vhs tapes for free 2 months ago and my kids just love watching south park on vhs and a beamer. nothing will come closer to an analog cinema experience at home

Okay, so why haven't I been online much ANYWHERE:

1. House is going through a remodel. Not just one room-the whole damn house. Bath will finish on Nov 12, Kitchen starts Nov 11.

2. QS G4 dual had a hardware controller card failure.

3. Comcast did an update to the router that caused it to fail, so had to order a new router from them.

4. Election garbage. I was tired of seeing ads on television and on line, so I decided to read more often.

Tested today.

I can play region 2 DVDs with the internal drive of the Pismo.

With an external FW drive, I can play my region 1 DVDs. I tried umpteen times with MacOS Sierra, Mojave, Sonoma ==> no way, whatever the software or drives used.

Back in the days, the levels of protections weren't as tight. I remember I could do that with my iMac in the early 2000s. Doing it again with my Pismo and an old vintage FW DVD player. It can even load DVDs that can't be played/read on a modern computer. I have a few DVDs like that (like 'A Scanner Darkly') which are hard to rip even with DVDFab ! I can play those via OS9 now !!

Fully operational vintage station. Pismo bliss again. 

i upped them, now everyone up cd 1-2

it became so silent in here

got my 4th AM II card today, still ok price for 20. now i need to get a bluescsiv2 into my iici to create that waves recommended processing rig

"MultiRack - RealTime utility (1997)

The MultiRack system will bring new life to old hardware. An older Macintosh such as a Mac II or IIci with a card or two (or three), can be transformed into a true multi-channel effects processor for a fraction of the price of a dedicated unit - and with many times the functionality."

the only thing cooler is to discover this: anyone has this standlone version?

Auto-Tune is now stand-alone.
 
Auto-Tune will run with Real Time Processing on any Powermac using the new AudioStream application from Antares Audio Technologies. This version of Auto-Tune is exactly like the Pro Tools TDM and Steinberg VST versions, and works with any Sound Manager compatible I/O card. For $399.00, you can purchase the stand-alone version of Auto-Tune. This version can run on any Power PC, System 7 or better.

File Buddy 7.6.3 might have the features you need (or it might not, I haven't used it in a long time and I don't know what kind of renaming you want to do). It's an app, so you can quit it when you're done.

replacement applesauce v2 board is in the mail

Try 'Drop•Rename'

Not very fond of "A better finder rename". Looking for an app that offers as many options but does not fill your system with two extension and one more line in the contextual menu. Grrr !
