Hardware / G4 fw400 MDD: Can I get Digital Audio output?
« Last post by goodoldmacs on May 18, 2024, 10:05:37 AM »
sorry for another newbie question

please i would like to get digital audio output from my G4 running OS 9.

and i want to use the open firmware trick to boot 8.6 also so i definitely want a card/device that could work with that system also.

are there any options for this that can still be found online to purchase?

i only know of soundcards and USB devices that can do this?  i thought maybe macsd could but it seems like it only works for analog output of cd audio?

thanks

thanks for the replies, i could still use some help though

please i would appreciate an answer to this specifically:

what pci card i can find to purchase that is compatible with my G4 MDD and will definitely work on OS 9 (and that have a good chance of working with OS 8.6 using the openfirmware trick)?

cards that will only work on OS 10 wont help, i wont be using that system.

i can find a couple that say they'll work with OS 9 but i definitely want to try the 8.6 openfirmware trick and i really want a scsi that will work in both

thanks very much


edit: just remembered another important thing to ask

all the different scsi plugs just get so crazy like:

68k mac has db25
all the devices connected to it use cn50
macsd uses idc50
and all the pci cards for the g4 use hd50

so i still need all kinds of adapters and one set that would be really useful but i can't find would be a CN50 to IDC50  (that way i could put the DB25-to-CN50 adapter on the back of the 68k, then the CN50 device, then an adapter to the MacSD with its builtin scsi termination as the last device in the chain)

so has anyone ever seen a CN50 to IDC50 adapter?

The original goop is not really expensive. Manufacturers don't create any unnecessary costs, they are trying to profit after all.

It is not an "encapsulant" or potting compound, that would be a different material for a different purpose. It also is not a 2-component material.

As for post-process cleaning, the industry trend is towards aqueous cleaners—not very practical for bench repair purposes.

Dismantled the QS today. I noticed the below on what appears to be the audio circuit sm electrolytic caps. None of the other caps on the board show this. Any ideas?

Apologies, this is near the audio section but not sure if these relate to the audio circuit!

Nice one! Is it alright if I borrow it and put it on the page? :)
As I mentioned above, the current logo for the new theme is a work in progress and focus has shifted somewhat.

I like the new Layout of the page....

as someone who has been in the branding game for over 20years can we keep with the apple branding? It'll look pretty clean...

This is so beautiful and professional, thank you for making this! :)

Is it fine if I voice a few nitpicks, though? I think the "Lives" bit aesthetically looks great, but also it is a "fading away" grey color, as if the "lives" bit is actually "dying out", and no emphasis on it, although it should be an exclamation, like the expression "It's alive!!! It LIVES!!!". Is it just me? Maybe some other hue, or color, or pattern of colors, would work better?

Would it also be possible to add a space between "Mac" and "OS"? Apple themselves stylize it that way.

But wow, seeing a pro of this field at work, it's really another level of polish entirely. :) I generally have no eyes for this level of work.

Welcome!

Realmz, eh? For years I meant to upload to the Macintosh Garden many Realmz goodies I have that I think are no longer found elsewhere. It's just that there are so many files, that editing the Realmz page takes many, many hours to sort them all out.

You can't go wrong with those two games!

This seems like an amazing program, but the 1.01 serial doesn't work w/ 1.03 and I can't find 1.01.  Does anyone have this working?
