Heck, yes, antiques RULE! I have a whole attic full now, of various
macs, all working (in working condition, that is, the loft/attic is
just storage. Nice and dry, but, only storage. When I get rich,
I’ll move to a bigger apartment & then they can come down for
holidays!) except the very cool 8600 I most likely killed.
:o))))

well, now I want to set these up so they can do their absolute
*best* at doing whatever it is they used to be able to do.
S-Vid/Audio in/out... turn it into an entertainment device. with
QT/9 it can play DivX.... hook up an "antique" big-screen CRT
BOOB TOOB... we can do all the old things right. gosh darn it,
my grandfather grew up being a first car dealer/repair guy in a
rural place... I grew up with the digital age.
ANTIQUE! :-)

Why bother with G3/G4 cards for such old macs? If you want to
run 9.2.2. its ok (if you have the money to squander). If you
want to run OSX seriously consider either a real G3 (the gray
ones) or (better) a Smurf or a B/W G3. OSX is slow on my gray
G3, not fast enough for quick stuff like graphics, games & some
video stuff. Think of it as putting a ferrari racing car engine
into an old, trusty dumptruck.
Keep the ancients, they are fun to play with, but stick to OS 9
if you want to do something serious with them.

I found and 8600/300 kicking around that I knew not of. can
the processor come out and run in an older 8500 while I get
the 8600 running on some G3/G4 input thingie...? and does
anyone have any good suggestions for a G3/G4 card fot that thing?
