Has anyone used one of these with success.

I have my eye on a Adaptec fireconnect afw-1430 but I have a 333 Lombard and the system requirements say a 400 or later. I know from some programs that say similar claims usualy work with less but I would hate to order this and it not even install because it see's I have a 333 and not a 400 ( have had that happen also ) .

freefour,
FireWire PC cards work just fine in any powerbook that natively supports CardBus (32-bit) PC cards, and Apple added this technology to the Powerbook G3 Series Wallstreet and newer. Earlier powerbooks would only support the PCMCIA (16-bit) standard. I run a FireWire PC card in my Wallstreet and it works just fine.
There are a few limitations with FireWire and USB PC cards:
-You cannot boot an external FireWire HD through a PC card; only built-in FireWire ports support this feature.
-FireWire and USB cards supply only minimal bus power, so you will want to have your external devices powered by their own power supply. For example, if you wanted to run a 2.5" FW HD, you will need a power adapter for the HD. This adapter is optional on some 2.5" FW HDs but all 3.5 HDs come with their own power supply.
If you are running 10.x, the necessary FireWire drivers are already installed. If running 9.x, you will need to install Apple's FW drivers, so post back if you need help adding these drivers.

Has anyone used one of these powermats to charge their iPhone(s)?

I've been thinking of maybe getting one of these powermats (see link) and I'm wondering if the IP will charge from one of these mats just by laying on it? The description talks about some "tip" and I'm also wondering if an IP would have be actually be plugged into one of these mats in order to charge? At $90+, it's not a cheap way to go, but I like the idea of just laying my IP or Nano down on it and having the unit charged when I'm out-the-door again. Sounds too good to be true, but I do like techie gadgets .

Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with 8800GT?

Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with the new 8800GT? I'm about to order a new Mac Pro and wonder if Aperture will get a speed boost with the 8800GT over the HD 2600XT. I've read many times that Aperture is very GPU dependent, but then I've also read, on Barefeats.com for example, that the graphics card really doesn't do that much of a difference after all.
For me, on my dual 2.0 G5 with 4.5GB and a X800XT, what's been most annoying with Aperture 1.5 has been the slow load times for raw images (15-20MB). But now with the quick preview mode in Aperture 2.0, that really isn't an issue any more.
Is the 8800GT worth waiting for, or should I just get the Mac Pro now with the HD 2600XT?

Hi Don
I'm using Aperture 2.0 with the 8800GT. My system is the new MacPro 8 core 2.8GH with 10GB RAM. I'm shooting Nikon D3 lossless compressed RAW files. Approximately 12-14MB each.
I do not need to use the quick preview mode. Images open instantaneously,either fit to screen or 100%. All the image adjustments are shown with no time lag. My D2X uncompressed raw files,19MB, display in approximately one second with quick preview turned off.
I'm no MAC hardware expert so I don't know how much the speed is the result of the 8800GT but I'm just one happy camper.
Hope this helps

Yes Beta And RC. It works the same as Vista, with probably some enhancements. Didn't have any issues, but I did not try wireless.

Has anyone tried one of these $40 eBay batteries...

...found this on eBay. Price sounds good but we all know what that usually means:

Has anyone tried one?
-Alan

While the ad says "new in box", that box may well have been sitting on a shelf for more then 5 years. And if so, it's worthless. LiOH batterys begin to decay from internal self-oxidation the minute they are assembled. Even just sitting idle on a shelf, under perfect environmental conditions, they will only last for 4-7 years, after which, their capacity to hold a charge is pretty much shot.

You can put your iPhone 4 in a 4S case and it will work just fine. You shouldn't put a 4S in a 4 case (like the Otter Commuter) since the camera sensors are different.

Has anyone used Toast 7.02 with Dual Layer media?

I bought a three-pack of Verbatim +R double layer discs just to experiment with (this is my first Mac with a DL burner). I've had some problems with Toast simply not responding but other than that occasional problem I've been able to burn Sony DVDs at 8x.
I'd like to try to burn one of the dual layers but I don't know if I should start with Toast or just create a burn folder or just let the OS do its thing or what.
Has anyone had experience with DL disks and Toast? The drive in my Intel iMac is a "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846" (I've heard that some iMacs have different mechanisms?)

Thanks - I'm going to give it a go today. Just from the general impression I have from numerous conversations and lurking around here and other sites there seems to be a growing consensus that Verbatim DVD media is the best (and possibly CD media as well). I usually tend to simply buy whatever is on sell in the week when I'm running low and Sony media has done well while with Maxell (usually the brand on sale!) I usually find a few clunkers in a spool (mind you this was with my MDD G4,and I had both slots tricked out with Pioneer 106's).
I'm going to go web crawling later today, too, to see what the best pricing is for Verbatim DL's - I paid $23 at Office Depot for three in jewel cases but it was the only DL packaging they had and I'm sure prices have come down! (One would think!)
I've been using 7.02 since its release in November (?) but, with Toast, I always make certain not to trash my old app so that I'll not need to fish out the CD should new versions emit flying insects. I DO wish Roxio would release Toast as a Universal app - and soon! I also may try going back to 7.01 to see if that might 'fix' the occasional freeze I'm getting.
Thanks so much for letting me know about your success with Toast and Verbatim +R DL media - I am almost borderline OCD about back-ups and the more I can fit on a single disc the merrier I will be!

Has anyone used this cool WebCam with a Mac yet?

i'm in the market for a webcam for my new mac pro. i'm looking for the very best one out there. i ran into this WebCam called "aGent V4 HD". It looks awesome! Its a 3MP HD WebCam that comes with a desk mount and LCD mount. But its sold out of Australia. I was wondering if anyone has used it with osx 10.5.6.
here's a link:
http://agent.liquiddigital.com.au/index.htm

I've just taken delivery of one of these and have to say that, a few glitches aside, I'm pretty impressed. It looks quite sexy and gives a great quality picture that has been commented on by all Skype correspondents who hitherto were used to my looking like a bowl of porridge.
It comes with 3 useful mounting devices including a great grappling hook looking thing which will hang on top of my 30" cinema display but I actually prefer to have it on the floor stand at head height otherwise the angle is a bit high from all the way up there.
The only disappointment for me is that I cannot seem to get the internal mic working. Fortunately it does come with a clip on mic which does work when plugged in via the USB gizmo but the built in cam mic just won't play for me.
I wonder if I'm missing something because I have an older webcam with a built in mic which again I have never had any joy with.
Any useful suggestions in this point gratefully received!

Anyone using one of these processor upgrades?

Is anyone using this processor upgrade from Other World Computing?Its this one:
Motorola/Freescale PowerPC G4/7447A Processor running at 1.6GHz
# 512K of 1:1 L2 Cache @ 1.6GHz
# 100MHz or 133MHz bus operation
# Bus Ratio of up to 16:1
I have just recieved a Quicksilver 733(was supposed to be a dual 800,but it was defective),and I would like to max it out without spending nearly $400.00US for one of the 7448's.Is this worth $200.00US?Will I notice performance close to my dual 1.25 MDD?Or is this just a waste of money?Any info at all on this upgrade would be very appreciated,thanks!

Well,duh,I should have just looked at your sig japamac! I forgot you were running one of these,nice to know its reliable.Good to know it will keep up with my current computer as well.Thanks BDAqua as I actually wanted to know if it would at least be better than the dual 800 I didnt get.Dont mind spending the cash,just dont want it to get out of hand if its just a small increase in performance.This will be paired with a 9800pro and sata Hitachi 1TB upgrades,so this shouldnt be a slowpoke with Leopard.And of course I maxed the ram out.Again thanks for the info(and FAST!!)!

6212 Classic. anyone using one of these?

i love the idea of contactless payment but has anyone with this phone set up the NFC payment system? i'd be interested to here how everyone is getting on with it?
Nexu 5

Yes, I am using my card and its real good as no need to carry the credit card.
Not much to worry about currently as new and the wallet is locked and connected to the bank security (if advised it has been lost/stolen - Just need to ensure its locked most of the time for additional safety).
Also its a Java phone.
It's real cool, just one swipe, the best thing is the bank informs you in 1-2 minutes of the transaction with the balance.
Did it help?

Has anyone used a NI 9134 with DasyLab 13

I am consdiering purchasing a NI 9134 for in vehicle data logging. I would like to run it using DasyLab 13.
Has anyone tried this?
There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over!

Devon,
I think that it's pretty reasonable to ask about NI hardware support by NI software. That's one of the goals of this board.
Will DASYLab run on a cDAQ-9134? Has anyone done it? Can anyone who has one try it?

Has anyone used a MacBook Air with a TV as a monitor?

Wondering if anyone can advise on experience with using a tv as a monitor? I don't believe Mac make just a monitor for this purpose do they?

it's ok, highly pixelated, meaning you will see pixels. I would say its great to watch videos, but any reading or such will be displeasing. Really depends on the pixels per inch of your TV also. But, I would stick with nothing more than 27" for reading or anything text based.

Anyone using one of these SSD?

looking at buying one of these bad boyz to run my OSX with Logic and PTLE on my MAC PRO 3.2 8 core. I have a UAD solo and an additional FW card as well and a SATA card running 4 external HD with Port Multiplier. My concern is that this may kill my PCI BUS. Any advise before I buy this thing?
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone used a canon zr850 with FCEHD?

I am thinking about buying a Canon zr850. Does anyone here have one? How campatible is it with FCHD? Any tips on Camera's?

The ZR850 will work with FCE. You should look for camcorders that -
- record to DV and/or HDV
- use tapes
- have Firewire output
The ZR850 has all three.
However, it does not have an external mic input, which you will quickly find limiting unless all you're filming is 'kids in your backyard.' The ZR800 has an external mic input.

Has anyone used one of these with success.
