On the Big Red H tracker, it says the last server check was 2 months ago. Is it not being maintained anymore?
I love Hotline and feel it's a very appropriate way to file share in a Classic Mac environment. |

My setup: Pismo G3 400MHz with 512MB RAM, Mac OS 9.2.2 (from the Universal Install), and an M-Audio FW410 using a standard FireWire cable from my CD burner. No power supply for the FW410.
It worked right away, though there was background noise and a lack of bass response—just a high-pitched whistling sound rather than proper audio, even though the levels on the mixer looked fine. I tested it with Reason 2.5 and by playing MP3s via QuickTime. At first, I suspected a hardware fault in the FW410's audio output—maybe dried-out capacitors or something similar, given its age? Then I took the FW410 apart and put it back together; now it’s no longer recognized, and the blue LED is flashing. I used the drivers from the M-Audio CD-ROM—installing the drivers first, then connecting the interface (which is the recommended order). I’ve bought another FW410 on the used market, though it hasn't arrived yet. If I make any progress with the second interface, I’ll post an update. Can anyone recommend another interface that works flawlessly under Mac OS 9? You can pick them up quite cheaply used. I also forgot to mention that the headphone outputs didn't work during my tests. Here are the software version details for the FW410: Driver 1.0 Panel 1.0.2 Control Panel build 1.0 alpha 1 Bootloader // :: Firmware // :: Hardware model: 0 version 0 GUID 000D6C01-006A3C09 |

Strange advices notwithstanding (handheld degausser? good for laughs) the geometry of a CRT will never be 100% perfect, particularly on older units with aged components. Getting to 99% requires a deeper understanding than what is found on sites like this.
First job is to install a monitor gamma tool like Knoll Gamma or http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/gamma-corrector and adjust the white point since it looks significantly off from D65 |

UPDATE:
I have not found a solution... I got another M7768, it has the same problem. The solution is to just ignore it, because these were their "cheap" offering. I suppose that this type of issue is to be expected of any Flat Tube monitor. I may be open to experimentation since I have a second one now thats in better shape than the first one I got. Thank you all for the help |

I have recently acquired a PowerMac G4 Digital Audio 733, and it has the revered Nvidia Geforce 3 in it. There are better cards than it out there that are cheaper, like the Geforce 4 Ti. But also, I have yet to see one of these cards for less than $250 on ebay. Is it literally just because this thing fits in the Cube?

I have recently acquired a top end PowerMac G4 733 Digital audio. I got it to replace my Dual 500 Gigabit Ethernet model that had its PSU die on me. However, although they are similar in performance, its still a single cpu system. I would like to know if it is a viable option to put a dual 7450 cpu board from a quicksilver into this system, even if I have to run it slower.
Im only considering this because the Quicksilver and the Digital audio motherboard look very similar, but I did hear that the quicksilver has a worse DAC than the Digital audio. Any thoughts on the matter? |
