Compatible issues with PowerMac 8600/300

I am currently attempting to make use oif a NI board for experimental purposes, however I am unsure in regard to it's compatiblity. I'm referring to Nation Instruments Board NB-M10-16X (assy: 180675e-12).
I currently have a PowerMac 8600/300 which i would like to install the the card into. However, if this is not compatible, I would welcome any suggestions.

Hello;
That board is supported on Mac OS. Make sure to download the latest NI-DAQ version that support Mac OS, from www.ni.com/support.

  • Powermac 8600/300 TV as monitor

    I connected my PowerMac 8600/300 to my TV so the TV can be used as a monitor thru the AV ports but it looks horrible. You can barly see the icons and stuff. Its running OS 9.2.2.
    Thanks

    AR,
    The purpose of AV out is to send a signal to tape for recording. If you are editing video, you are not watching it full screen in real time. That is why Quicktime gives you a small viewing window for speed and acceptable low resolution.
    I have an 8100 that was given to me because early Avid video editing software was so buggy. It is fun to play with but it quickly reminds me why G4s are required for efficiency. Software has come a long way since the 8100 era ( the software actually ran on an 840 AV, too). Few machines can handle code fast enough to give full screen full time viewing. So, after editing the video, Avid software allows you to save in several formats, one of which is broadcast quality. Only when you take an hour or two of rendering your work to achieve high resolution will you get the output to your VCR that will look aceptable on a TV.

  • Debating on parting from my PowerMac 8600/300

    Hi all
    I know the Apple has unleashed the latest and greatest machines just recently.
    I still have my good ol 8600 PowerMac with maxed out ram, graphic apps,drives,etc. and was wondering if I should throw in the towel and sell it or donate it. I kept it because I have my third party plug ins for my graphic apps needs. I hardly use it though.
    Your thoughts will be appreciated,
    Web dude

    The least expensive Mac-compatible, ATA-133 controller card (Acard AEC-6280M) has consistently been found here. You can even find the slower, Acard AEC-6260M ATA-66 controller card here for $25 USD, but it would have the 128 GB recognition limit for each connected drive. Of course, the price of either card alone (not to mention a large capacity IDE/EIDE hard drive) exceeds the value of an 8600/300. The ATA-133 controller card and its connected drive(s) could always be transferred to a newer computer, having a slower ATA bus. The 8600/300 with its A/V module, extra 5.25" expansion bay (compared to the beige G3 mini-tower), mounting plate on the chassis floor for additional hard drives, large cooling fan in the side panel, and decent 604ev processor with 1 MB inline L2 cache was a very well-designed and capable computer. I replaced the 604ev/300 processor card in one of mine with a G3/266 MHz ZIF processor on a carrier card, and it makes a noticeable difference. Unfortunately, having newer computers to use gradually discourages the use of older (even upgraded) ones. Your life moves on with daily use of the newer computer, so that when you fire up the old one for sentimental reasons, it's a step back in time. You look for a file and realize that it's saved on the newer computer, as you can only find older, saved documents. After connecting to the internet, you look for a browser bookmark, only to realize that it's also saved on the newer computer. As you have to wait a little longer for the slower processor to handle the computing chores, you appreciate the speed boost that the newer computer offers. Eventually, you're less and less inclined to use the older computer, so it sits in storage. When you realize how little you could get by selling an 8600/300 today, one's first inclination is to park it in a closet, rather than give it away for an insultingly low amount. After another year or two, when the dormant computer has no value, you may decide that you need to part with it, simply because it's taking up space. At that point - realistically speaking, nobody will be interested in paying anything for it. You'll end up disposing of it at a computer recycling center, and wonder why you didn't sell or donate it sooner, when someone could have gotten some operational use out of it. Having made the case for disposing of the computer sooner rather than later, I can also understand the point of keeping it, as part of a collection of vintage Macs from each generation made (68K, PowerPC 601/603/604, G3, G4, etc.).

  • Thermal issues with PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 Processor

    I've been having issues with my fans running super loud for no apparent reason. I have been told that my thermal meter for one of my processors has gone bad and that I have to replace both my processors at a cost of over $800! I am simply wondering if there has been any other issues even similar to this one or if anyone can tell me if I really do have to have both processors replaced for this situation. Also, I am wondering if anyone knows how to run the processor diagnostic where I can view my computers feedback for myself.
    I am a starving designer and desperate to fix my biggest tool. Please let me know of any possible suggestions or cheap fixxes. If there is no way around replacing both processors, please let me know of any good mac processor retailers! Thanx all!

    Who has told you what the problem is? Has the G5 been in the shop?
    Is there a pattern to the loud fan noise?
    Is there a red light on inside?
    How warm is the room?
    Is there a dust build-up inside the G5?

  • Deployment issue: compatiblity issue with ODP, instant vs full client on PC

    After a lot of deployment issues with full client, we thought we had the solution with Instant Client.
    It worked great for a while, but now some of our users have full Oracle 11 client installed after installing our Instant Client because of other software that requires full client.
    As soon as they install full client, our Instant Client breaks:
    Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib)
    The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory' threw an exception.
    The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client (Oracle Data Provider for .NET)
    Our instant client is compiled with 2.111.6.20, the client is installing a different version (though I tried installing exactly same version does not seem to work either)
    I've been experimenting to redirect the version to another assembly but no success.
    How can I make Instant Client and Full client co-exist? The whole idea of using Instant was to be independent of other software who needs ODP.NET...
    What do you do when 2 apps need different versions of ORacle ODP.NET (e.g. 2.111.6.0 vs. 2.112.1.0)?
    Note that I don't have source code access to "our" app, so if it is at all possible through configuration, that is a prefered solution.
    I also don't control our customers deployment strategy, they roll out apps over 1000's of PC's

    According to documentation at [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20434_01/doc/win.112/e23174/featConfig.htm]
    >
    Configuration File Support
    For customers who have numerous applications on a computer that depends on a single version of ODP.NET, the Windows Registry settings for a given version of ODP.NET may not necessarily be applicable for all applications that use that version of ODP.NET. To provide more granular control, ODP.NET Configuration File Support allows developers to specify ODP.NET configuration settings in an application config, web.config, or a machine.config file.
    If a computer does not require granular control beyond configuration settings at the ODP.NET version level, there is no need to specify ODP.NET configuration settings through configuration files.
    The following is an example of a web.config file for .NET Framework 2.0 and higher:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
    <oracle.dataaccess.client>
    <settings>
    <add name="DllPath" value="C:\oracle\bin"/>
    <add name="FetchSize" value="131072"/>
    <add name="PromotableTransaction" value="promotable"/>
    <add name="StatementCacheSize" value="10"/>
    <add name="TraceFileName" value="C:\odpnet2.trc"/>

    Apparently HP has stopped updating that application for Firefox. It wasn't available for Firefox 3.6 last year and now - not for 4.0 either.

  • Browser usually crashes whenever I want to upload a Word or PDF file? is that an OS issue or compatible issue with Word for Mac

    A lot of times I would have to reset Safari while I do this and then it might work afterwards, I just find it annoying and time consuming, sometimes I might have to reboot my machine as well. Not sure whether it's an OS issue or an issue with Word that the system doesn't like word too much. I get the spinning ball and I have to do a hard force quit using my keyboard in order to stop the browser when it stops responding, then go ahead and reset safari like I stated previously.

    I have tried Opera, which is somewhat better but it crashes if I have to look for the file within the system like with Safari, it will by default look on the desktop, if I try to change it to documents for example that's when it can go crazy, with Opera it will by default open in documents but say if I wanted to change it to desktop to look for the file, it can go loopy. Looks like it either the browser or OS doesn't like changing different folders to upload files.
    How's Firefox on a Mac? is it better than on Windows?

  • Possible compatiblity issues with 875 Neo...

    Just noticed something strange...
    I'm currently using an ATI 9700 pro card,which is one of the first revisions,since i purchased it last september(Rev 1.2),and while i installed the latest drivers for it,which were released just today(CAT 3.5's),the system was crashing to the desktop left and right on any game,regardless if it was opengl or Direct 3D,sometimes the system just completely froze altogether,forcing a hard reboot ....
    After quite a few restarts and making sure that the driver was properly installed,i disabled AGP 8x and fastwrites, using ATI's smartgart uitility and the problems completely vanished....
    Thing is,i was using AGP 8x with the 9700 pro when the board was still running bios 1.4 without any issues(fastwrites was still disabled though),so is it possible for MSI to check it out themselves...

    This is what I did always when I want to find out whether 2 or more drivers/firmwares/BIOS work as unite... I\'ll have to test them in sets... i.e 1.4 BIOS to 3.5 Catalyst > 1.4 BIOS to previous versions of catalyst > 1.5 BIOS to 3.5 catalyst > 1.5 BIOS to previous catalyst.  
    This may seems tedious but this is one of the ways to get things tested and confirmed that they run smoothly if you wan to upgrade BIOS/drivers etc...
    Be warned that if you flash your BIOS incorrectly, there\'s a high risk of mobo failure.
    All the Best... :D!!!
    Did further testing,and the problem is repeatable....
    At AGP 8x settings,any game will either lock up hard,forcing a reboot,or the screen will go blank while the game sound keeps going,all in the first 30 sec to 2 min of starting the game,regardless if it's a direct 3d or opengl game...
    At AGP 4x,everything runs smoothly for hours on end,so it's definately something between the 9700 pro and the latest bios for the board as far as AGP 8x compatibility goes...
    I know that there's no performance difference between AGP 8x and 4X,but still,i know that the card can run with AGP 8x just fine,because it did with bios 1.2~1.4,so would it be possible for you to report this back to MSI,thanks... 8)

  • SLI compatiblity issues with NF980-G65

    Hi, I consider myself average for tech knowledge.  Just enough to get myself into trouble.
    I currently have a  NF980-G65.  I just upgraded to a second GTX 470 from nVidia for SLI.  However when I run any application that is SLI compatible the bottom half of the screen shakes and wobbles.  This happens even if I swap GPU positions on the board, so I know its not the GPU itself, and only happens when SLI is enabled.  I contacted nVidia, we troubleshot for a while, but they concluded it was the BIOS.  I tried finding an updated BIOS on the site, but it seems the latest version isn't compatible with Windows 7 64bit.
    At this point I'm at a loss as to what to do to fix this.

    Quote from: UnseenGuardian on 03-August-10, 03:31:05
    I am having very similar problems, same mobo as you but different cards. I noticed this right away after building the rig and playing Starcraft 2, bottom half of screen glitches and flashes. Cards are both good. I have narrowed it down as well to something in the SLI bridge (or the way the PCI bus is used with the bridges connected), because once removed the problem goes away.
    Now I have done benchmarking in Heaven Benchmark 2.0, and have found about a 3-5% drop in frame rates with the SLI Bridge REMOVED. This is not very significant, so at worse case scenario you could try leaving the bridge off and benchmarking to see if you get similar results.
    I would obviously prefer to have a bridge for the extra boost in performance but with the glitches I would rather have them gone.
    I would like to try this to see if I can have the best SLI performance and no glitching, mrinfinit3, could you help a guy out with a link to how you got your asus SLI bridge? I am concerned that if I buy a 'hard bridge' it won't fit as all mobo manufacturers seem to have slightly different distances between slots.
    I'm sorry it took so long to reply to ya bud... ya here's the link http://estore.asus.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=229
    I'm using 2 of them (one on each finger) you'll notice rite away that they fit better (more resistance when sliding the on)
    I personally got mine from misc. asus builds Ive done for customers here in @ the shop. I have an asus hard bridge but it's slightly too long for the 16x-16x slots.. but since this issue has happened..
    I'm getting a rather large collection of MSI bridges now. lol

  • Videotape Conversion with PowerMac 8600?

    Hello,
    I have a fairly sizable collection of VHS movies that I would like to transfer either to DVD or to my iPhone (probably iPhone favored). For my DVDs, I use HandBrake which works quite nice. I am also aware of the product EyeTV250 that can do this type of conversion (VHS to iPhone).
    I have an old 8600 who has all the RCA video/audio connections to receive the signal from the VHS player. Once the signal is in the 8600, what type of software do I need to grab this signal and save it to an mpeg format. This end video file would then be re-encoded for iPhone.
    Not trying to be cheap (by not dishing for the EyeTV250), but trying to make good use of my old 8600.
    Thanks

    still running OS 9 on that one? an old version of FCP or Premiere would do it, or maybe good old BTV ... have a search on VersionTracker or MacUpdate for other options
    capture it first then transfer to your other system for transcode direct to iPhone compatible format ... forget the MPEG intermediate format, no need for that.

  • Compatible issue with ie6

    I built a web site using Dreamweaver CS3 for my self. (
    http://www.freewebs.com/coolauto
    It works perfect in IE 7, but in IE6 it doesn't work
    properly. On the home page, when you move the mouse on to one of
    the menu buttons, it should have a half transparent background
    displayed. It works fine IE7, but it doesn't work in IE6. Can
    anybody tell me why and how I can fix the problem.
    The second issue is how I can make the background image
    downloading quicker or progessively.
    Please help.

    Assume that your navigation is going to remain an all image
    affair just
    create the transparent roll-over image effect in your image
    editing
    software and use that instead of the transparent block of
    grey png image.
    As for your downloading problem you should slice that image
    up. Using
    large images like that is not really the most efficient and
    user
    friendly way to proceed.
    Its an easy enough design to section into various components
    i.e.,
    header, navigation, content, news, footer. Everyone will
    benefit from it.

  • Having compatiblity issues with adobe reader.  What pdf file software should I use with Mac

    Having problem with Adobe reader what software works well on mac for pdf file creation/reading and sending via email.  Also how do I uninstall adobe reader so that all hints of it are erased.

    To remove the Adobe PDF Reader:
    1. Drag the Adobe Reader folder from the Applications folder to the Trash
    2. Remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin from the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder
    Macs offer good PDF capability in the operating system. You can use Word or other program to create somthing you want to save/send in PDF format, then choose print, click on the PDF button at the bottom of the print window, where you can choose to email the PDF file.

  • Can OSX tiger or earlier be installed into a 8600/300 PowerMac?

    Hi all,
    Can OSX tiger or earlier be installed into a PowerMac 8600/300? I have OS 9.1 currently. If so, will it be easy to install? Thanks for your help.

    OS X can only be installed on machines using G3 or later processors. Tiger requires a minimum of 256 MBs of RAM. Earlier versions of OS X required 128 MBs of RAM. These are minimum requirements. OS X requires a hard drive with a minimum of 6 GBs for installation but practically you need at least a 10 GB or larger hard drive. The hard drive must be formatted HFS+ (Mac OS Extended.)
    It is possible to install OS X (probably not Tiger) using a freeware utility called XPostFacto (VersionTracker or MacUpdate). However, the computer must still have the minimum RAM and hard drive space.
    Because of the heavy graphic overhead demanded by OS X I don't believe you will be pleased with the performance on such an old machine.

  • Serial ATA Controller Card for bigger hard drives on 8600/300

    Hi again,
    Can a Serial ATA Controller Card work on the PowerMac 8600/300 as well as on the G4 tower?
    How can I tell if the PCI slots are the same?
    Thanks
    web dude

    According to the specs listed for Sonnet's Tempo Serial ATA controller card, it's compatible with the early PCI Macs - like the 8600, as well as newer G3s, G4s, etc. The FirmTek SeriTek 1S2 SATA controller card has gotten favorable feedback in the Forums. The 8600's PCI slots are probably PCI 2.0-compliant, whereas the G4 AGPs probably have PCI 2.1-compliant slots. Even though the FirmTek card specifies PCI 2.2-compliant slots, it's undoubtedly backward-compatible. If you just want to use larger IDE/EIDE drives in your 8600, the (now-discontinued) Acard Ultra ATA-66 PCI controller card is an inexpensive solution at $25. Unlike the Acard Ultra ATA-133 controller card, it has the 128 GB limit, so a 120 GB drive is the optimal choice for it. Newegg has a Seagate 120 GB ATA-100 (8 MB Cache) hard drive for $55. I've got (3) 8600/300s and they were one of Apple's better-designed towers, especially with the large cooling fan in the side panel. I installed a G3/266 MHz processor in one, along with a pair of 4 GB hard drives, an ATI Rage 128 graphics card, and FireWire and USB PCI cards. It runs so well and quietly, that I'm reluctant to part with it - in spite of the fact that I rarely use it anymore. With the hard drive mounting plate on the bottom of the chassis floor, it can accommodate more hard drives than the shortened version of the same mini-tower case, used for the beige G3s.

  • Issues with Mobile Broadband on the Tablet 2

    Is anyone having slowing degrading connection issues with Vodafone and the Tablet 2. Upon fresh boot, signal is strong, then degrades until a reboot is required. Seems very odd. Other devices connecting to vodafone at the same location have no problems.

    hi rogerf.
    due to it was working before, i can say there's no compatible issue with the device and computer.
    you may need to contact ericsson or the mobile provider in aussie. still, there may be users here who has/had the same issue. you can wait for reply.
