Re: radeon 9800 pro

I've placed other AGP cards into my G5, and the ones I've not been able to fit because of slot issues were all slower AGP cards. I've not encountered an AGPx8 card that didn't fit, but perhaps they exist, I'm no expert on G5 AGP slots. I would like a better card for my G5, and I'm considering flashing an nVidia GeForce 7800GS 512MB which I understand is the best possible AGP card for the G5. The slot issues only concern adc cards and even then the agp pro slot in the G5 will perhaps take any agp card without adc. It's just that the adc cards designed for the agp pro slot were not usable in earlier macs due to the shifting of the adc power pins out of the main slot and onto a stub. The presence of the adc power pins in the main slot effectively meant that no adc equipped G4 will boot with an 8x card installed - thus the tape. The 7800GS is troublesome due to the bios change - the mac version and the early pc version had the G70 bios - the pc version quickly changed to the later G71 bios. G71 cards will not flash to mac - only the earlier cards with the G70 bios are compatible with mac flashing. And the mac card only had 256MB AFAIK so the 512MB may present problems too - possibly all the 512MB cards are later cards and G71. G70's are occasionally available - usually involves mailing the seller to get the bios from the back of the card - begins 5.70 (G70) rather than the later 5.71(G71). The BFG card was favourite as I remember though several other brands made a G70 card. The Radeon X800 is also a very good card - problems again though.

Re: Car computer
Alexander, I am still researching this, as I have an in between OBD setup (OBD 1.5). The port is OBD-1, but some of the hardware behind it and some codes are OBD-II. I have yet to figure out what readers will work, but I came across this, and thought you might be interested: http://www.aldlcable.com/ Brian On May 25, 2011, at 2:56 PM, Alexander Gomes wrote: @Johnson I found that website, and the only drawback is that my car is a 92 so it's still on ODB1.

Re: Need to Print Thousands of Micro$oft doc scans, Ahhh

Or is this just another Mico$oft I got'cha. tiff files are not microsoft files. You can use the OS X command line to achieve this. see http://www.mcelhearn.com/2004/12/08/printing-from-the-command-line/ Yes you should be able to do what you want; but it will take some unix chops. The find command is your friend. So the concept is 'find all the files like *.0001- *.0300 on the CD' and send them to the lp command specifying the high-speed printer.' the find command should be able to do this. Hopefully someone with better unix command-line skills can manage this. Yes the Find Command! I did not need to use command-line -- one day I will need to learn more unix. I just used the Cmd-F in Finder. The first six letters of all the files to be printed are the same and unique. The result was a list of 3431 subfolders and 3431 .tif files (one in each subfolder). Why does commerical M$ scanner software put each scan in a subfolder -- ahh, never mind it's M$. Then I refined the search from Kind-Any to Kind-Images and that gave me a list of the 3431 .tif's. Now I can select as many files as I want to print by clicking on the first and scrolling down the list while holding the shift and clicking on the last. Or I could hit cmd-A to select all 3431 files -- didn't do that. Then I dragged the selected batch into the desk top printer Icon and they print away in the background. I could still use Mac DA for all other work or browsing or checking emails. Wow! Also switched commercial digital copier/printers from a B/W Canon IR8070 to a color IRC3220 (in B/W mode) with a faster RIP this increased speed to 4 prints/min. Generally these machines produce 30 to 80 copies/min but these small (60kb) .tif scans really slow things down. Of course I could use both machines at the same time but really needed to keep one available for other work. Most multi-page documents (.pdf's or even M$ Word docs) print at the usuall 30 to 80 page/minute even if they large color files. I wonder why these small B/W .tif scans take so long? Oh well got 1200 pages printed today only 2200 more to go :-). And worked out a deal with the law firm on cost, so I'm good.

I wonder why these small B/W .tif scans take so long? It might be because they are probably compressed TIFFs, so the actual (uncompressed) data si much bigger (let's say some megabytes uncompressed vs 60 kylobytes compressed?). If the printing sends the uncompressed image binary data, it'll take some time... -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
