Re: Freeware MPG Player for P475/Q605
SIGH! Thanks, Scott. Thanks, pickle. Fram rate is ~30, but I will try to track down Sparkle. Originating app doesn't have much flexibility.

Re: Quadra 800
Does anyone know what the suggested OS for a quadra 800 is? I wanted to kinda run it as a file server for my macs on my network, is linux a good idea, I kinda played with it on my PeeCees, but never on a mac yet... any ideas would be great, when I tell people I have a Q800 I get like WHOA that was a hella fine machine in its day, so I guess its a pretty good one, since I got it for free, stupid PeeCee network guy was going to throw it away :-( -Joe I run 8.1 on mine and use it as a websever running Quid Pro Quo.

Hi all, got my Q800 working, installed OS 7.6.1, but there doesn't seem to be a browser installed, what version of IE or netscape would be snappy on this machine? or is some other browser better? -Joe Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Re: HPPA 9000 workstation memory in Quadras?
No, the RAM is not standard 72 pin RAM. I've got a 712/80 and it uses HP proprietory RAM only. HP has several different flavours as well, I've also got some 72 pin stuff from an HP C180 that doesn't work in Macs or the 712. You can try it, but in my recent experience, you can't interchange it. Incidentally, I had to convert two 16 MB HP SIMMS into a single 32 MB SIMM recently (good SMT practice!), because I was having a very hard time finding HP 712 RAM. I've got bags of the standard 72 pin stuff... I've also got a Next Cube II, but I can't get it running. I've never heard of a NeXT version to run on Sun and HP. I've got a stack of Sparc's as well. I'll have to look into that. Do you have any links on that NeXT port? Hope it helps, Rob - Original Message - From: Peter Heinemann [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Quadlist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2002 12:13 PM Subject: HPPA 9000 workstation memory in Quadras? Hi, just a few days ago, I bought 3 Hewlett Packard Risc Workstations series 9000, HPPA 712/60, all 3 machines equipped with 128mb Ram each (4x32mb, 72 pin). Since I payed only 70 Euro for the whole pile of machines I would say I got them pretty cheap (12x32mb). These HPs seem go pretty cheap on eBay, since they were prodiced in very high numbers. http://www.tkt.cs.tut.fi/computers/info.html (the second pic) I would like to know if this Ram can be expected to work in our 68k Centris and Quadras, the newer ones which have the 72pin Ram slots. CATEGORY: Memory (Dooh! :) MANUFACTURER: HP MODEL: 8Mx36FPM 32MB SIMM (A2575-60001) FEATURES: 32MB with Parity / Fast Page Mode / 72 pin SIMM 60 ns This sounds pretty alright. I am not quite sure since this is workstation memory and those modules are sometimes somewhat special... ? Playing Trial and Error seems a bit risky to me. Well, if it does not work and the Ram will not fit into my Quadras then it´s ok though, since I am planning to install Nextstep on one of them, the Risc port of Nextstep that came out for the Sun Sparc and HPPA. My good NeXT Turbo Colorstation with its 33 Mhz Motorola 68040 might be fast, but the HP with its 60 Mhz Risc cpu is somewhat faster... :) So, is there any HP guru here who knows if the HP 9000 memory can run in Quadras? -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
