also, im now enjoying dual monitors for the first time on mac os 9
on my mdd 1.25ghz (2003) thanks to radeon 8500
using dual samsung syncmaster LCDs!
the classilla scrolling speed / screen redraw on this mdd with this graphic card is great
the best performing i have ever seen on mac os 9 for sure

very cool;)

just inserted my megawolf romulus Serial port pci
about to connect my Opcode Studio 128x
and also set up my DELTA 1010LT (chose this interface because i can run it in both X + 9)
(too bad there was never a pro tools m-powered for os 9!)
and connect a corsair 60gb sata SSD to my SATA-150 card for running os9 + apps from

hey mactron -- did u have this app for making software raid with two IDE drives in mac os 9?
I believe u made reference to it as "softraid" ?

I want a 2 x hard drive stripe for large capacity/fast sample loading

i have this acard raid adapter but if i use it it will use the last pci slot
i have left.. but perhaps i should make a new proper thread about making software raid stripe in os 9..

Try not to get bitten by the "Mac Bug" (I have personally collected and still own all of the above... pick one only)

Dammit Chris !

Don't make me count my Macs... it depresses me when I realize the the severity of the "Mac neurosis" that has crept into my life... can't seem to ebay the units I don't use... "Mine...Mine...Mine"

ok so after some long thinking + planning --
what i had planned on was to have a DAW machines for each vst capable os that there ever was
so that i can use these machines together networking via midi + audio cables to use any vst plugin
i could find all together on the same projects!

so i now have differnt os memory limit appropriate machines for each.. complete with audio + midi interfaces that are setup + workijng! so im really excited to move to the next phase of my setup.

a)win98se (512mb ddr1)
b)mac os 9 (1gb sdram)
c)winxp (32bit) (4gb ddr2)
d)mac os x (power pc) (8gb ddr1)
e)mac os x (intel) (16gb ddr3)
f)windows (64bit) (16gb ddr3)

will be realy cool to be able to use all of these different os + softwares collaboratively in the same project i hope to achieve some unique results making my efforts worthwhile;)

and dont worry mactron+ diehard.. everytime my win98 bluescreens.. i think of you <3
LoL

this is too good to be true? 10$ for a 4 port kvm switch??
maybe good for people like me;) with 6 g4 macs LOL

it must work! for 133 to be sold (at time of this post)

[Protools5LEGuy]

The 4 port kvm is cheap because monitors/tv are moving to DVI/HDMI/Display Port. But you have a point. For vga computers is still valid. And cheap. In fact is very cheap. This price is normally for a ps2 unit, not practical for us

[supernova777]

i might order one its only 10$ no shipping? its baiscally free!

VGA/USB ..

i never had anything else but 2 monitors, since system 7. it is hard to avoid for protools/cubase/photohop and programming.

are you satisfied with the possible resolutions for your syncmaster? on my G4-933 i run samsung 24" via GF4 and radeon 9500, and i can get only 2 proper resolutions in OSX and 1 in OS9.
well ok normally 1920x1200 is fine, but i must admit that i play games from time to time, and that is a bit difficult with such new monitors.

[supernova777]

i havent really tested extensively for resolutions..
i can tell u i had a helluva time getting 1680 x 1050 to work on my win98se box tho;) with a geforce2 card.
had to text hack the .inf for the video card driver to pull that off!
