Re: data/program transmital and storage questions
...even though, some of us who are musicians (and for the record, also synth/keyboard players) had to suffer the Tape Data Dump thing pretty well unto the 80s and so, since some synths only relied on that method for loading/unloading data banks with patches and synth soundbanks back then. Some equipment even had both options as Tape Dump, or usually proprietary rom cartridges where to store sounds in (pretty expensive and uncompatible between brands / synth models) Now I wonder... I haven´t tried it yet (Even tho I still have a Yamaha TX7 in shich I could do some testing myself), but isn´t there some chance of degrading in the process of converting the tape data into a CD, so the data may not come properly to the cd? I mean, some soundcards tend to color the sound, thus altering the properties of the data sent through them... I remember having to tamper with some cassette players in order to have the data properly dumped into my synths...

On MIDI Sequencing
Greetings everyone!! I wonder if anyone around would have, or is able to help me find, a copy of ANY decent midi sequencing program that is able to run on my IIci ? I am currently running OS 7.6 on it, and it is smooth (Has the lovely Daystar turbo 040 installed) and want to hook it to a MIDI keyboard and module to play a little with. I do have also a pretty neat MIDI interface (Actually a Midiman BiPort 4x2s which I currently have hooked to a Wintel system and my entire studio rack) which I´ll have to switch real soon for a newer USB one that works under OS X. SO, if anyone also has an idea wether the BiPort (just in case anyone has worked with it before) does works or not under OS 7.6...??

About G-Port...
Greetings everyone! I am the proud owner of a Blue White G3, (between other Apples) and yes, I am very happy with it. Still, I am also a musician, and having my home studio currently working under Window$, am more than anxious to pass the bridge and start using my trusty Mac for music too. The thing is, I have an external MIDI interface which I Love (The Midiman BiPort 2x4s) which is equipped to work on both Mac and PCs. The thing is, it only works on SERIAL ports on both platforms. My G3 lacks a serial port, thus having an ADB and USB ports only. I am concerned there are several solutions for this, including some expensive external dongle kind of adapter which goes to USB and then ends up in a couple serial ports. But what I am really looking for is an adapter I´ve seen once, that replaces the modem (or connects to the modem socket, as my G3 didn´t came with one) and uses the modem serial port to drive an on-board serial connection, to which I could connect my MIDI interface. I can remember it is called G-Port, but it has been pretty hard to find. I wonder whether anybody in the list either has one and is willing to sell it, or can help me locate one of these, at a decent price tag... Thanks in advance!

Re: What to do with IIcx?
I am currently using an iMac 333 for the office. I had to load it with the mst memory I could in order to run OS X. However, I found I couldn' t get it to accept more than 256Mb RAM even when I stuck a 256 SoDImm in the lower slot and a 128 on the upper one. It seems several iMacs accept more than 256, and several others don' t. However, even when it is not a speed racer, I find myself very comfortable with it, considering it has both OS9 and X, moe than enough for non-programming duties of an IT SysAdmin. Here in home, I use a BW G3-400 which I could manage to stuff 1Gb RAM inside, and plan to expand in order to replace my WinTel machine at my home recording studio/Production facility. As soon as I can get ahold of a second Mac (Hopefully a Mini) to replace as well which was my personal bedroom WinTel which handled documents and email and stuff (currently handled by the BW, but if it goes to the studio then I' ll need a second workhorse), and I Still feel comfortable. However, I plan to acquire for both macs the Sonnet upgrades. The iMac can go up to G3-600 and add the firewire port, and the BW I plan to get up to G4-1G, which would help me much in the audio/video duties thanks to the Altivec... And still have my trusty IIci. WHat I am looking for is a cheap USB webcam I can use both in the BW and the iMac, since the iMac has no FireWire port(yet), and I still consider the iSight a beautiful but very expensive option for what I really need on a webcam... --- Juan Carlos De La Cruz [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 26/05/2005, at 07:48 PM, Glenn Emery wrote: I was warned ... repeatedly ... that Panther 10.3 would be too slow on an iMac G3.

Re: What to do with IIcx?
I have a Mac II ci with 20Mb RAM, the turbo 040 card, OS 7.7 and a StyleWriter II attached to it. Am currently buying via eBay an Ethernet NuBus card for attaching it to my existing network (some linux PCs and a G3/400) and plan to use the II ci as a Print Server with the StyleWriter. Can anyone help me on how to set it up? Anyone might have any additional ideas on duties or tasks performed by this machine? I am not completely sure it can be used as a mp3 jukebox, though... does it has the needed power to run a mp3 player? If so, which one? I run a fileserver on Linux I have my mp3 in and it would be nice to have a machine (maybe the IIci) located somewhere in the house (Maybe over wireless network attaching it to a wlan bridge and then over the NuBus ethernet...) to use it as a music player.. but, how? Will definitely the IIci fulfill the duty? If not, the print server idea still looks delicious to me, as long as I am able to run it headless (That means, the CPU and the printer on top, without monitor or keyboard attached...) Any ideas absolutely welcome!

I don't know what Mac OS app you'd run, but if you get A/UX or a Linux or NetBSD running you can get some scheduled jobs going to repeatedy copy your latest files from your main machines(s) to it. Or make it an mp3 jukebox/server. Or make it your full-time print server for your LAN. I'm a fan of taking older equipment and running it headless and single-tasking it for something I wouldn't/ccouldn't/shouldn't do with my primary computer. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Some of these have three (RGB) and some have four (RBG+sync?) BNC connectors. I suppose the three are for sync-on-green monitors. We used to refer to these as analog cables and monitors, I suppose because it's an old-style analog video. I've always wondered if the pin-outs on the Macintosh/DB-15 end are all the same or if different video cards have different pin-outs.

An o-scope would tell you for sure, and a multimeter might. different pin-outs. I ask b/c I have a couple old monitors with the BNC inputs and I couldn't get them to work with my PCI video cards. What cards? I realise this is getting a bit OT... Tried my SuperMac 19 with an ATI Mach 64, Radius Precision 24, and IxMicro Ultimate Rez. Wouldn't sync with any of these using a three-BNC (RGB) card. It worked fine connected with the three-connector cable and a SuperMac NuBus video card. Perhaps I need the four-cable with separate sync? C -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Ethernet for a IIci
Reply follows quoted original sent on 1/16/03 6:42 AM, by Ray Bearfield at [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I own a IIci I'd like to network via ethernet with my PTP250, in order to share a printer (Laserwriter IIg), all of which will link through cabling (RJ45 connectors) to a wireless base station. Any old NuBus 10Base-T card should do. Don't spend $75. Post a Want To Buy on the LEM swaplist. I've seen them for $10-$15. I personally have an Assante card in my IIci and it works fine. I'd welcome thoughts about the best card to install -- I see several offered on eBay, and my local dealer has a NuBus card from Apple for $75. Additionally, I wonder about adding a 040 card. The IIci presently has 7.5.5, but I'm considering advice to switch to 7.1. I have no idea what use I would put the machine to . . .it has a Radius Precision Color 24xp card and the original Apple 14 monitor. If you plan to do any internet-related activity, I don't think 7.1.1 supports Open Transport. Carlos -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
