DOS Card in PowerComputing Clone?


By Bouncy - usenet poster


Hi there,

has anyone put a DOS Card in PowerComputing Clone? I am considering buying
one of the new clones (out end of the month), but want to know if the
Apple Dos Compatibility cards can be put into a clone box.

TIA,

Martin
I have the same problem.

You need DOS Compatibility SW version 1.5. BTW: I have TCP/IP routing going
between the PC and the Mac on my PowerMac 6100 DOS compatible. This
overcomes the serial port speed/buffer/hs limitations of the PC cards.
Thus: I have a dial-up Internet session on the Mac and the PC
simultanously. Interesting for comparing Win & Mac Internetting (Mac wins
hands down: I figure PC people just don't know how good the Mac is suited
for REALLY complex internet sessions). At the moment this feat needs a
VICOM router (free demo on #) on another Mac connected by
ethernet. But with OT 1.5 this should be OS native - according to an Apple
internal memo. What amazing boxes these Macs are (or rather: could be if
Apple got going)!

I have a powerwave 604/120 with an Apple 586 card in it. Windows95 is very
stable on it. Same problem as Paul though. The connector to the internal CD
drive is different, so you can't get sound from CD's on the PC side.

Also the PC card will only recognise Apple CD drives (not 3rd party), but
you can get around this by setting up the CD as a shared volume on the
Macintosh side before switching to the PC.

I have one question for Paul Baird (Peter Tippet?). Have you got Windows
networking to work on your Powercentre. I can't seem to get it to work on
my Powerwave. When the PC boots up, it says that it cannot find the "PC
Ethernet Driver". I am wondering if I am just doing something wrong, or if
it is something to do with Powerwaves. It seems that Apple computers can
network OK.

Yes we have succesfully put a Apple 586 Card in a 150 Mhz Powercentre. The
only minor problem is that the sound connection on the CD is a different
fitting, So the machine can no longer play Music off the CD Drive. There
are instruction for a number of different apple Machines and mostly you
follow the 7200 instructions and a bit of fiddling.

We aim to try putting a Pentium Card in a 180 mhz Power Pro once there
released.
