Right! Lack of "proper" networking. No way of installing another OS.
This isn't going well at all! :S
What could I use this for?
I have a perfectly adequate desktop machine 22" LCD et al.
I dont want to sell it or give it away, I want to give this machine a proper use.
Any suggestions?
MrMe01
PS I have the AudioVision14 display, Very good arrangement and the sound isn't too shabby but the resolution is dire.
Plus I Cant really afford to spend lots on this machine to get it to a usable level £15-25 at the most.

Hey Mrmeo1
I joined 68kmla because I bought a Quadra 840av. That was ages ago.
The Quadra... it records music nicely for me.
The 840av was great cos I had my Atari ST plugged into the video, I had a digi box & I.....
well I just connected a Scart block the the av ports & could connect virtually any video device I liked. I got some reasonable video capture with the stock machine & using os 8.1.
What do you want to network with... Anyhow, I've just connected my Quadra 650 via ethernet (Q650-tranciever-ethernet cable-XP PC) to my xp pc & now I can surf the internet with the Quadra, the 840av would work in exactly the same way..... only be a bit faster.
Don't network & capture video at the same time cos it'll just slow the video capture horribly.

Just say this thread.
Welcome to the forums.
Nice score on a free Quadra 840AV. Those machines are awesome. I'd pay for one.

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated! Also thanks for the warm welcome!
Anyway, my x1950 doesnt have TVout (its a crossfire master card)
I want to watch films and what not on my 20" "goldfish bowl" TV
I want to stream the media from my pc to the the quadra, witch will output it to the tv, Is the hardware (besides networking) up to the task?
I am waiting for a mouse atm, this thing keeps on falling apart on me 🙁
the mouse broke the other day. It was the single button affair.
I also remember (the friend who gave me the 840) networking over BNC. He put a BNC enabled PC network card in his machine then he used Basilisk on the pc and set up a network between the virtual mac and the quadra. If I got a BNC network card, could I share a harddisk on my pc and the quadra be able to see it? Just a plain as day network share?
Sorry about all the questions, but I am sure you guys will have the answers!
Regards,
Mark
