PCIe Card For Dual G5

Hi Guys
I want to view how my video will actually look on a Tv from my computer.
The computer monitor dosent show minor defects.
I will be doing some mild colour correction.
Can anyone give me suggestion as to what card I need to buy
so I can output to a tv monitor.
I have a plasma screen tv will this do for outputing the signal to.
I really just want to see what Im doing.
G5 dual Mac OS X (10.4.5)

In addition to Davids advice,
A plasma is ok for previewing if you want to check that your video is action and title safe and that you are in the ball park when it comes to colour. A plasma is probably also sufficient if you are delivering a job to clients who will be using either a plasma or an LCD driven display or projector.
What a plasma will not do is offer the subtlety you get when using a CRT based TV/PVM for adjustment.
Canopus make a great range of DV converters to get a DV signal from your G5 to a screen they are outboard boxes which means they don't have to be PCIe specific.

Hello, please can someone suggest any dual band PCI card for Satellite C660

Buddy, its a user to user community
Regarding the miniPCI WLan card:
Such part upgrade is not officially supported and therefore details about compatible cards are not available.
But from my knowledge many different notebook series have been equipped with different WLan card from Realtek, Intel and Atheros.
Probably such cards would be compatible even if they are not listed officially as supported part.

Wireless mini PCI card for Satellite P10

Hi all,
can anyone help me find a wireless mini pci card for my Satellite P10-304 in the UK?

Hi
I found several WLAn minPCI Wlan cards which could be compatible with the Satellite P10 notebook.
Wireless LAN card PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b)
PA3273U-2MPC (Atheros 802.11ab)
PA3300U-1MPC (Atheros 802.11g)
PA3298U-1MPC (Atheros 802.11a/g)
Please take a look on the WLan 802.11 standards!
If you WLan router support an 802.11 standard I would recommend taking the PA3273U-2MPC or PA3212U-4MPC

PCI Card for a new SSD. Good Idea?

Just upgragraded my 2009 MP (processor 3.33, video card, Ram). Just got a new 256 Samsung SSD wich is going below the optical drive. Did a search here about PCIe card for the drive and found that there's good and bad about it. Found this model model (Velocity solo x2). Is there one specific brand more suitable? or just make it simple and install the ssd below the optical drive.
Thanks

The 2008 only has two 16x PCIe slots and the Sonnet Tempo Pro should be in the #2.
Even gpu's do not do as well as later models in performance, and some PCIe cards only supported booting in a 2009 or later.
Installing Mac OS to Sonnet Tempo I am sure you have read of the issues and how to get around it, is even on Sonnettech.com
Even though it 'tests' as xyz MB/sec in the real world the system is fine on SATA2 and in non-RAID setups. The 0.1ns seeks and latency and higher IO for reads. Someone did some thorough tests of different SSDs, different PCIe cards and the synthetic benchmarks. And concluded there was no real difference to the system and work load whether the system was on SATA2, but could be work performance using PCIE for other uses.
Generally I find this to be helpful start: www.macperformanceguide.com on perfomance
Putting scratch and graphic libraries for Aperture/Lightroom and others on a SSD and on a separarte bus helped. Even helps having iPhoto on SSD and the photo library folder on another drive - so you aren't read and write to same.
SoftRAID 4 - using 3 drives in a mirror but it uses "stripped reads" seems like it is fast, simple, less overhead and most people just never get idea of using more than two drives in a mirror, but it works great and makes it easy to pull one for backup. SoftRAID also does a better threaded background rebuild, and during idle time scans its drives for errors and bad or weak sectors. A lifesaver.
Even using the optical bay for the system might be perfect and then using the Tempo Pro for other uses.
With system's and SSD's and stripped, then of course a couple restore images and run DU against the array with TRIM enabled on a weekly basis, something, especially if the array is getting hammered as scratch. Tests though show those SSDs can take huge TBs of punishment day after day, but I have seen my own and read of too many errors.

Recommendations? USB 2.0 & Firewire PCI card for MDD Dual Boot G4 (1.25 Ghz

Can anyone recommend a good USB 2.0 and Firewire combo PCI card? (at least 3 USB 2.0 ports and 2 FW) for my G4 MDD Dual Boot- 1.25 Ghz)?
I have an Orangelink+ Micro USB 2.0/FW PCI card from the days of OS 9- that's supposed to be USB 2.0 under OS X, but isn't (it shows up as max 12/mbps in System Profiler). I'd like to get an external Hard Drive and most of them are USB 2.0 now.
Another question:
Under system profiler, it shows that I have one USB 2.0 port. I'm assuming it's an internal port, because all of the external ports show transfer rates of 12mbps. Is this a correct assumption?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Correct Airport card for Dual MD FW800

I have an old Mac G4 dual processor 1.25 mirror door, firewire 800. I am trying to find an airport card or other wireless connectivity device to allow it to connect to my home wi-fi network.
I have ordered and returned the *Apple Airport 802.11b Wireless Card* (that was listed for PowerBook G3 FireWire; all PowerBook G4 'Titanium' models; all iBook G3s; PowerMac G4 AGP Models 350-1GHz; PowerMac G4 Cube, eMac G4 700/800MHz. System Pulls with 1 Year OWC Warranty.) This one does not fit. After discussion with tech support they realized that it did not fit the 800 FW models. SHe directed me to buythe Airport Extreme card.
The *Airport Extreme* does not fit; it is too small and does not fit the given slot.
Does anyone know is there another Airport card that goes in this computer, or have other solution to get this computer on my wifi network without running ethernet. I would like to put it in a workshop/studio on the back of our lot for internet and music sharing. Ideally, I don't want to run dig and bury cables.
Thanks!

But do you mean that I install the airport extreme I. The PCI slot?
There is a dedicated loaction for the card away from the PCI slots. Look at this image:
!http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1426/4604668182_26d7e617ab.jpg!
In this view, the card goes in the lower left corner. The connector is the small dark rectangle on the left edge of the LB, and the light gray square on the case door is the bracket that positions the card. The little loop of white wire in front of the small cooling fan is, I believe, the antenna for the card.
Note that in this image, the processor card, RAM, video card and PCI cards have not yet been installed.

Cheapest video card for dual monitors on a G4 Sawtooth

Hi guys,
What would be my cheapest alternative to get a dual monitor (extended desktop) environnement with my G4 Sawtooth. This is an AGP G4.
Can I get a cheap video card with one outlet and then plus each monitor in one card (ie: 1 in the new card and 1 in the old one) ?
Or do I need to buy a card that supports 2 monitors?
I would like to spend as little as possible. I currently have the ATI 16 mb card that came with the system and I run both OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.3.9
Thans for your advice,
xenakis

Yesterday I installed a nVidia GeForce4 MX AGP out of a 2002 Quicksilver tower into my own AGP Sawtooth.
It has VGA and ADC connections and can apparently support two monitors at the same time.
My second vidio card is a MPDD card, but I may pull that now that I have a dual-monitor card. Sonnet sells something similar. They have blue & yellow connectors. These things are not high performance but they are OK to use with just about every monitor on the planet and any MacOS from 7.1 to 10.5 and beyond.
Cheap on eBay. Probably you could be even cheaper and pick up a 16-meg PCI card out of a B&W G3 tower.

Upgrading the G3 /DT with USB PCI Card for Printer Connection

I would like to connect a Brother MFC-9160 laser printer to one of my Beige G3 /DT with Macintosh OS 9.2.2 installed.
There are two ways to do that: USB or Parallel. I don't know if Parallel adapters for Macintosh are available. This is the reason why I am favouring the solution of PCI USB upgrade.
The problem is that the few USB adapters I saw on sale on various French Mac warehouses were all USB 2.0 compliant, and required a Power Macintosh G3 /BW.
I suppose that a USB 2.0 compliant card is also de facto USB 1.1 compliant, but I am not sure. Besides the hardware issue, there is of course the problem of support on a Beige G3 for USB 1.1.
Could you please elaborate on the hardware which would run on a Beige G3? I am open to any friendly advice
Frederic W. Erk

By the way I wonder if it would be possible to
connect to the laser printer through electricity
network. No cables, here because the building in 400
years old and too large. Wireless, he he... Not even
worth speaking about it....
I'm not sure about what kind of electrical wiring you have available over there, or if these kind of products are compatible, but there are some options in the US for using the electrical outlets in a house to create a LAN network. With this kind of network you could use keep the printer on the B&W and turn on USB printer sharing. Printing from OS 9 on the G3 might not work with all printers. That kind of networking equipment is more costly than just adding a USB PCI card to the G3 to use the printer directly, but you might also be able to share a single high-speed internet connection that way. It all depends on what your needs are.
Is this what you were asking about?

Does Apple make a wireless pci card for the G5?

I have a new Airport Extreme base station, but my PowerMac G5 still has the old airport pci card. Does Apple make an "n" pci card that I can use to swap out my old wireless card?

No. Apple does not have an 802.11n solution for your PowerMac G5.

PCI Card for Analog output in the range of 10mv

dear ni,
                I want to know about the PCI card that can be generate analog output in the range of maximum 10mv. i am going to use for caliberation of loadcell, strain gauges devices.
could you tell me on which PCI card will support this type of application.
Regards,
Balaji DP

Try: http://www.ni.com/dataacquisition/
These have analog output voltages < 10V:   http://sine.ni.com/nifn/cds/view/main/p/sn/n12:7604,n3:7853/lang/en/nid/1036/ap/daq
You need something with a high bit count to get good resolution at 10 mV, such as the PCI-6010 which has a 16 bit D/A.
Here are the minimum voltage specs for the 6010:
Minimum Voltage Range
-0.2..0.2 V
      Range Accuracy
283 µV
      Range Sensitivity
6.4 µV

What is fastest possible wireless router and pci card for G4?

There are many companies offering wireless transfer of data that exceeds the Airport Extreme card and Base Station. Are any pci cards other than AE compatible with a G4?

Well if you connect via Ethernet (100Mbps) and use 3rd party wireless items similarly spec'd you will get a faster speed. However if your using the Airport card (iMac G4 800MHz can only take a Airport card (802.11b - 11Mbps)) then you will be forever limited to that speed.
Apple's Airport Extreme is limited to 802.11g - 54Mbps and is only for 1GHz+ iMac G4's. This is odd as Apple was such an early adoptor of WiFi (1999 on the iBook G3) that they haven't kept up in recent years - but 54Mbps is ample for all but the most demaning applications.
You can't put a PCI card in an iMac G4 - where would it go?
Your best bet is a 3rd party wireless bridge that connects via Ethernet and gives onwards access to WiFi networks.

Suggest USB PCI card for PM 7200/120

Hi
I want to instal a USB PCI card in a 7200/120. It's running OS 8.6 with Apple USB Support 1.4.1 software. Also have Toast Titanium 5.2 with its Toast USB support extensions loaded. Also tried running OS 9.1 on alternative startup drive with same Apple USB Support 1.4.1 etc.
I've installed a 5 port USB v2 (32-bit host interface compliant to PCI spec release 2.2 and backward compatible with USB 1.1) card from Laser (www.laserco.net). The packaging says it's compatible with Win 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP but no mention of Mac. The 7200 doesn't see the card installed in PCI slot (checking Apple System Profiler). Double-checked to make sure the PCI was securely seated in the slot, tried different slot etc.
I also tried re-installing Apple USB Support v.1.2 on the OS 8.6 volume but still no good.
I'm in Australia and wondered if anyone can recommend a USB card that actually works in the 7200?

Claudio,
Two years ago, this question was very common. Warnings were given about certain Belkin cards not working well. With the passage of time and the drop in price of newer used systems, few people spend money on upgrading older equipment. It can be done but the beige G3 is the minimum platform that most will work on. Here is a guide to Mac resources in Australia.
http://www.tandb.com.au/buying/
This site sells a wide array of older Mac products. They offer an interesting list of prior models that they still buy, including 7300 models and IIci models. The 7200 is not on their list of models that are in demand.
http://resale.headgap.com/
"TRADE-INS OR SELL YOUR OLD MAC
Remember we pay wholesale prices. Many times when you are ready to upgrade your old system may not be worth much, especially to a dealer who is used to buying in quantity at wholesale prices and has the units shipped in bulk truck freight. Boxing and shipping your old system costs a few dollars. Here lately we have been having more trouble locating older systems people are still buying. We will begin offering trade-ins or to buy outright certain older systems. The following are on the list: PowerMac G4, iMac G4, QuickSilver G4, Blue & White (REV 2 Only), G3 Desktops, PowerMac 7300, Quadra or Centris 650, and Mac IICI's and SI's. The units need to be cosmetically in good condition and working (at least chiming). Trade in value will vary from the top wholesale price for extra clean, that exceed stock configurations and down for less that prime units. We are also purchasing good used Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II ADB Mice, working StyleWriters, and SCSI Zip Drives."
Hope this helps. My experience with buying USB cards for Macs convinced me to only buy cards that are already installed in a working used Mac. The Mac costs $15 US and the card is free. I realize that your market is somewhat different. However, if it is hard to find a working card here, it will be even harder there.
Take note, even Headgap does not want Rev. 1 Blue and White Macs. Avoid them if you have a choice.
This company has iMacs for under $200 in Australia. That may be high and it may not be a current price.
http://www.newwavesystems.com.au/pre-owned_imac.html
They also show a PowerMac G4/400MHz for $150 Australian here:
http://www.newwavesystems.com.au/pre-owned_powermac.html
That would be money well spent compared to any upgrades to a 7200. Otherwise, find a recycler who knows a thing or two about Macs and wait for them to come across the right card for you.
