DearScott,
I apologize for imposing upon your time but I find myself grasping at =
threads... speaking of which
I stumbled onto this thread while trying to puzzle out the video =
configuration of a Mac 9500 I have aquired recently. It uses multiple =
resolutions with the Apple 20" multisync that came with it; but that =
monitor is screwed up; so I have been trying to get it to work with an =
IBM P200, 20" trinitron. With that monitor as well as a NEC 14 FGe, I =
am only able to access the coarsest resolution- 460 by 680(?); whereas, =
with the apple monitor I'm doing 1152 across the top.
I saw that there wasn't an ATI control panel, but when I went to ATI =
to download software, they said the Mach64 was a PC card!
I was clueless as to what you were talking about in your yellowdog =
thread, but it sounded like you new where up was, so I thought I take a =
flyer at asking you what you know about ATI mach64s in 9500s, and PC =
monitors. ( I do speak computer fairly well, but sometimes I have to use =
my references)
.... I work at Borders Books and Music partime; shelving Computer books. =
After seeing your display at Macworld last year I was captured by the =
enthusiasm and friendliness of your exhibitors, and excited by your =
product. I am so very pleased to see your product being sold at our =
stores. I am excited about my 9500 because after years of using my old, =
trusty yet hamstrung, performa 6400(w/ G3/350), I have a machine I can =
upgrade to a G4, use 12 ram slots, and 6 PCI cards, and use to run OSX =
and Yellowdog. I would appreciate any caveats you have to share about =
running yellow dog on the 9500, even before a g4 upgrade. A =
cash-strapped web designer might do well to start out with Yellow dog on =
his 9500, before ASSuming he can upgrade the dreaded 9500 box!

sincerely yours, Heinrich Secker
