I'm looking for the software that would have come with Digital Vision's
ComputerEyes RT Video Digitizer (made around 1990). This will be used on a
mac classic II, and possibly on another Quadra model too. It would be great
if anyone has any info on the software for this particular device, or other
software that might work with the device to capture video and still images
with a macintosh classic II with system 7.0 ... or if you have any info on
using computereyes in general, thanks!

Plug www.digvis.com into archive.org and you can download the software from old copies of the website. You'll want to go through the history to find the latest version that's been archived. May also want to grab older versions too.

Someone in the San Francisco bay area just posted this on Craigslist about an hour ago.https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/sys/5676993679.html
Getting ready to move and must part with some vintage mac stuff; looking for hobbyist/collector who might get use out of:
1. Powerbook 520C with power supply and (rare) SCSI adapter cable. Boots up (7.1) and works.
2.Powermac 7600/120 also works, running OS9. One of the few early macs with video/frame grabber built in, if I recall correctly
3. Powermac 7100/66. Possibly the last macs to use SCSI, it also uses an AV monitor with built in speakers. I could get it to boot today, always worked in the past.
4. ComputerEyes RT SCSI Video Digitizer, with installation software.
All as is, best offer, part or whole.

try
http://ftp.task.gda.pl/mirror/www.video.ja.net/mice/CU-SeeMe /Mac.CU-SeeMe0.83b3/
windows drivers seem to be good, damn small, transmac is on a different
machine but the size seems to be right.
Your best bet is google, look for ftp sites and move up a lvl you will
normally see mac. Your year is around 1994 ish.
have fun.

thanks to Gregg, I did have luck finding lots of system software here:
https://web.archive.org/web/19961103073750/http://www.digvis .com/softwar2.html

and also purchased the device with system software off the add on
craigslist, and it came with a manual, and original box.

Hey all…

This is kind of a vintage/modern question but it seems likely the vintage group will be able to better answer the questions I have as vintage folks are likely to have modern experience but the reverse is not necessarily true.

I have a XServe Raid hooked up to a G4 XServe running 10.4.x which I have used as a file server. Over the years I have stored files from a bunch of computers (mostly Quadras) onto this system. I chose 10.4 because (if memory serves) 10.4 was the last OS to properly (fully) support multiple forks in files. I am now setting up a Plex media server and would like to re-purpose the XServe RAID for media storage (at least until I outgrow it). I have a new (to me) 2009 XSserve running 10.11.x which is running the Plex software.

Here (finally) are my questions:

Am I correct in that 10.4.x is the last OS which fully supports the classic Mac OS multi-fork architecture (no lost resource forks or corrupted files)?

If I connect the XServe Raid to the new XServe and copy the files to another store point will I corrupt the files in the process?

Would I be able to make a disk image of the drives without losing anything?

Is there any harm (to existing files) in just connecting the XServe Raid to a 10.11.x system?

I can always get the G4 to perform the backup, but would like to connect the XServe Raid to the new XServe so I can use the excess capacity for storage as I copy over countless DVD’s and Blu-Rays.

I still have my multitude of 68K computers and would prefer to not lose the programs stored on my XServe Raid.

Thanks for whatever assistance or thoughts you can offer in this regard.

Derek

P.S. I have tried to contact the folks at http://www.c3-xtech.com about their PATA-SATA converters but get no response… Does anybody have experience with them or know if they are still in business?

My OS X knowledge is not up to answering your direct questions, but if
these files are backups you could always archive with StuffIt or binhex and
they'll be safe to move through any modern OS (Linux & Windows included).
Conceivably, the 10.4 machine could even archive inbound files
automatically for you and then store on the remote modern server.

That's not as simple a solution, but may be the most fool-proof. I made the
mistake of storing a bunch of stuff native on a Linux netatalk server once
and not moving it off/archiving from a native Mac machine, so lots of file
corruption. :)

How much space do you need for classic files? I just have a G4 tower with a
couple 80GB drives and have a long ways to go, but also not a lot of files
& machines...

The best way to ensure the resource forks are preserved is to use a Mac that supports the Apple Double system (which is what they called the dual forks) and pack those files into Stuffit archive files. If a Stuffit archive loses its resource fork, later versions of Stuffit can still extract them. The Stuffit files may be moved through any other system without problems.

Do NOT use Self-Extracting Archive! .SEA files are beyond recovery if they lose their resource forks. That's why .SEA files were always encoded with MacBinary .BIN or BinHex .HQX so they could be moved around as text files.

BinHex actually started on CompuServe as a way to send binary files because not all of CompuServe's servers and routers were 8 bit 'clean'. Some of the main Internet systems also were that way. Since the bulk of data that was sent across the Internet in its early years was English text, the amount of data sent could be reduced by 1/8 simply by assuming the (IIRC) least significant bit was always zero, as it is for all the ASCII characters used in English.
Try to send a binary file through that, where some bytes have LSB that's 1, and you get garbage on the other end. BinHex encodes each byte to one or more 7 bit ASCII characters, which does increase the file size, but ensures it will pass cleanly through any server or router that converts all LSB's to zero. (There should not be any such still in active use.)
MacBinary uses a larger alphabet of text characters, where some have LSBs that are 1, so the encoded file size is about the same as the binary original. MacBinary (and UUencode and other similar schemes) were used to post binary files to USENET and to bypass e-mail filters that blocked executable or all non-text attachments.
Many Mac software websites used to have two or three test files to download, one in MacBinary, one in BinHex and sometimes a 'bare' Stuffit archive. the object of that was to try downloading the archive, then the BIN then the HQX, to see which format of the big download you could get without corruption. If you couldn't download any of them cleanly, your next step was calling the ISP to find out what they were doing that was corrupting your downloads.

Am I correct in that 10.4.x is the last OS which fully supports the classic Mac OS multi-fork architecture (no lost resource forks or corrupted files)?

If I connect the XServe Raid to the new XServe and copy the files to another store point will I corrupt the files in the process?

Would I be able to make a disk image of the drives without losing anything?

Is there any harm (to existing files) in just connecting the XServe Raid to a 10.11.x system?

I can always get the G4 to perform the backup, but would like to connect the XServe Raid to the new XServe so I can use the excess capacity for storage as I copy over countless DVD’s and Blu-Rays.

I still have my multitude of 68K computers and would prefer to not lose the programs stored on my XServe Raid.

Thanks for whatever assistance or thoughts you can offer in this regard.

10.11 certainly does support files with resource forks, at the very least the support has to stay around for Carbon apps which can use old-style resources. And of course, many Mac users still have personal files with resource forks.

Things can get complicated when moving multi-fork files onto non-Apple file systems (like SMB or FAT32), this usually works but I believe will add a separate ._ file.
Copying to/from HFS+ or AFP volumes, the resource fork should travel fine though.

Afraid I don’t know anything about Xserve Raid.

When you put a Macintosh file onto another system (or non-Mac writeable media) where it's resource fork is important, don't monkey around with the file using the other system. In other words, don't open it, edit it then save it back to where it was placed from the Macintosh. Don't use the non-Mac to copy it to another Mac. The resource fork and other data won't go with it. Access the non-Mac system from the other Mac and 'pull' the file.
IMHO, there must have been a meeting at Apple when they invented Apple Double and someone asked "How can we make the Macintosh file storage system as incompatible as possible with all other computers?". Everyone else uses files that are each in one piece. Some filesystems may store various attributes in odd ways and places, but far as I know, in none of them does losing those attributes make the file unusable.

Back in 1995, Apple said they were going to make an Appleshare IP client for Windows 95 - and that announcement was all there was to that. Even unto the early versions of OS X, Apple did nothing to make Mac interoperate directly over networks with non-Mac computers. There was Thursby DAVE, which had pieces to install on both Mac and Windows and (IIRC) made it possible for the Windows side to move and copy Mac files without orphaning them from their resource forks.

It would be nice if simply placing the data and resource fork files into the same folder would make it so a Macintosh could copy them back and fix them. The one and only type of Mac file I know of where doing that does any good is a Quicktime Movie. Do that and Quicktime for Windows will play the video. But since Apple has killed that, along with Safari for Windows... VLC will play Quicktime but I dunno if it can play un-flattened ones.
If only Apple had made it so that writing any file to any non-Mac media or network system automatically flattened the file, there wouldn't be all these issues. There was an Apple Single format which did combine resource and data forks into single files, but far as I know it was never actually used in System or Mac OS.

Something I often wondered about was the 'forkize' function some versions of Windows Server had when Services for Macintosh was installed.
Supposedly it could take a broken pair of resource and data forks then 'forkize' them back together so a Mac logged into the server could retrieve the file and have it work properly.
If that's possible, why did no clever programmer ever write a program for Macintosh able to do it?
Microsoft initially planned to have Services For Macintosh available in the Pro version of Windows XP, including the forkize command. But last minute they axed that feature, but left it in the Help files for all versions of XP. Make me wonder what Apple did back then to PO Microsoft so much they removed what would have helped networking with Macintosh? Or did they remove SFM for other reasons?

I packed all my files and apps into StuffIt files, and made disk images of all of my 800ks, 1.4s, and vintage computer hard drives. I have all of those stored on a FW 800 connected OWC RAID on my 2010 iMac running OS 10.11. No issues with corruption, I can transfer them to my flat-panel iMac running 10.4, and disseminate them from there to earlier iMacs, 68k macs, etc. As others said, StuffIt and/or BinHex are your tools of choice.

NTFS, NT's native filesystem, has always had support for multiple named
forks per file. The new ExFAT has, too. And Mac OS X should retain fork
support, at least at the filesystem level, while it keeps using HFS+.
But if you really want to make sure you don't lose the forks, store the
files inside an HFS/HFS+ disk image. That way, it can be accessed by
emulators and virtual machines, and you can even create a legacy file
server inside that you can run under more modern OSes. I'd say that most
of your files (at least the bigger ones) are plain: pictures, videos,
music, archives, etc. If it's true, you only have to save to the disk
image/virtual machine a small portion of them.

Now, some history. Microsoft implemented fork support in NTFS from the
beginning so Windows NT Server could store Macintosh Files: NT was
developed in the early 90s, back when Windows wasn't as important as it
is now, and the Macintosh had an important market share. Being able to
serve a mix of PCs and Macs was a strong selling point in those days.
Services for Macintosh supported AppleShare and allowed Macintosh users
to store forked files on a PC server, at least up to Windows 2000.

Windows XP and later use an alternate file stream to store the file's
metadata entered using Explorer's Properties dialog. Moving a file to a
FAT32 filesystem is enough to lose those metadata, but at least Explorer
warns you when you try to copy a forked file to a non-forked filesystem.

Sincerely,

Antonio Rodríguez (Grijan)

I need to buy 1 or more Apple Laserwriter Prints to use and for parts. These are called Apple Laserwriter NT, IInt, IIntx, IIg, IIf

Anyone have any - know where I could find them?

I looked on E Bay and Amazon and Craigslist - nothing.

Thanks for help.

D'oh! I just sent a few of them to the electronics recycler a couple
of months ago, because I figured they were too heavy for anybody to be
interested in taking them for the cost of shipping.

What parts are you looking for? I think I still have some roller kits,
fuser and power supplies laying around. May be some other things as
well, I'm currently in the middle of a slow move and some things are
in storage but I can peek around in some boxes.

I may have one but may have sent it to the recycling center. It is heavy
so shipping may be expensive.

Michael,
I have several in storage,Where are you located. Like Louis said they are heavy (50+ pounds). I am on the West Coast. I believe I also have a couple of LaserWriter cousins also, the HP's.

Like others, I have a couple of old LaserWriters, a IIntx and IInt.  The ntx needs the a feed roller replacement and the nt needs the DC controller IIRC. Too heavy and too and hard to ship. Love to give them away if you (or anyone else) can arrange pickup in Connecticut. --glen

D'oh! I just sent a few of them to the electronics recycler a couple
of months ago, because I figured they were too heavy for anybody to be
interested in taking them for the cost of shipping.

What parts are you looking for? I think I still have some roller kits,
fuser and power supplies laying around. May be some other things as
well, I'm currently in the middle of a slow move and some things are
in storage but I can peek around in some boxes.

I may have one but may have sent it to the recycling center. It is heavy so shipping may be expensive.

I need everyone of them - I don't know ANYONE that uses them - I work in system 7 and 8 on my old Macs
and they can only print to the laserwriters - it's been hell keeping them going - I have 7 and they are all broken
in one way or another

Work with me and help me (I am just an assistant teacher and don't make a lot) and give me a program to pay you for them - I have references.

My #7 printer went bad to day - - side makes 2 blinking red lights and won't work - most of the motherboards have gone bad.

OK - so in what city do you live?

Just bare with me and let's see how to get them to CA - I need everyone I can find, working or not

I need everyone of them - I don't know ANYONE that uses them - I work in system 7 and 8 on my old Macs
and they can only print to the laserwriters - it's been hell keeping them going - I have 7 and they are all broken
in one way or another

Work with me and help me (I am just an assistant teacher and don't make a lot) and give me a program to pay you for them - I have references.

My #7 printer went bad to day - - side makes 2 blinking red lights and won't work - most of the motherboards have gone bad.

OK - so in what city do you live?

Michael,
I have several in storage,Where are you located. Like Louis said they are heavy (50+ pounds). I am on the West Coast. I believe I also have a couple of LaserWriter cousins also, the HP's.

If you can find it, HP had a legacy printer software download for old Macintosh for the LaserJet 4, 5 and 6 series printers, but they must have PostScript SIMM or DIMM installed. IIRC the L models are not supported by it, probably no PostScript option for them. Those printers will need an interface option board with Ethernet and/or a LocalTalk/Mac serial port.
LaserJet 4 series uses the MIO type expansion. Laserjet 5, 5M, 5N and 5S series also use MIO. Do not be fooled by Token Ring MIO cards, they are useless (unless for some reason you are stuck maintaining an ancient Token Ring system) unless you get one with a Mac port because you need to connect to a Mac. The 'holy grail' of MIO cards are the ones with Mac, 10 Base-T and 10 Base-2 ports.

Looks like LaserJet 6 only came in L and P models, neither of which had expansion slots. printerworks.com is where you can find all the parts and upgrades, including some parts that can be used to repair LaserWriters due to their common "engines" shared with various HP, Canon and others.

There was a Macintosh kit for the LaserJet II but from what I read on it some years ago it was slow and didn't work too well. HP had absolutely nothing for Mac for the LaserJet III series. There were 3rd party solutions such as PostScript cartridges and interface adapters.
Another thing to look for, which will get you compatibility with many more (but old) printers is PowerPrint. It's a Mac serial port to parallel port adapter cable and a software driver and RIP (Raster Image Processor) that takes print output and converts it to monochrome bitmaps to send to the printer. Caveat, it can be VERY SLOW, minutes per page on most 68k Macs, even on a IIci with 128 meg RAM and a 66Mhx PPC 601 upgrade. I connected up a LaserJet IIID to just such a "Power IIci" and after a couple pages printed using Power Print I gave up on using that for printing from it.

There were several revisions to both the cable and software, so you need to match them. When the company was still in business they'd give you free upgrades to the latest software version supported by whichever cable revision you had.
They also had a network version of PowerPrint. That included a standalone print server to connect the printer to. From what I collected about it, the software looked for a specific name of the print server. I wondered if any server would work if it's name was changed to match the one provided by PowerPrint. I still have a standalone HP JetDirect for parallel printers.
Or you could install Print to PDF then copy the PDF's to a newer computer to print out. http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html

Like others, I have a couple of old LaserWriters, a IIntx and IInt.  The ntx needs the a feed roller replacement and the nt needs the DC controller IIRC. Too heavy and too and hard to ship. Love to give them away if you (or anyone else) can arrange pickup in Connecticut. --glen --

Getting them fixed or getting replacement parts might be a problem -
depends on how mechanically (and electrically) inclined you are. I have
refurbished one or two Laserwriters in the past. The go-to for parts
for me was theprinterworks.com. They are in California, probably
Stockton, apparently still operational. I found great human help
whenever I called their phone number. The basic hardware engine for the
contemporary HP and Apple laser printers was the Canon engine.
Apparently Apple had an agreement to have HP manufacture their big
Laserwriters. Some of the parts are interchangeable. I've been out of
this market for a decade, so YMMV.

All of the Apple LaserWriter printers (and many other printers of that
era) were based on Canon designs using licensed technology, and many
of the internal mechanical parts are directly compatible. The
LaserWriter and HP LaserJet were both Canon CX, the LaserWriter II and
HP LaserJet 2/3 were Canon SX. However, they had different cases and
formatting/interface electronics. So, if you can some of the other
models for cheap or free, you can swap a lot of parts over from them
as well. However, I'll be that the HP and Apple printers are probably
the ones that survived. The Printer Works has a cross-refernece list
for the Canon-based printers here:
http://206.180.224.221/Service/XrefList.html

The early StyleWriter printers used Canon print engines as well, until
the 4000 series when they were rebadged DeskJet printers built by HP.

I need everyone of them - I don't know ANYONE that uses them - I work in system 7 and 8 on my old Macs
and they can only print to the laserwriters - it's been hell keeping them going - I have 7 and they are all broken
in one way or another

Work with me and help me (I am just an assistant teacher and don't make a lot) and give me a program to pay you for them - I have references.

My #7 printer went bad to day - - side makes 2 blinking red lights and won't work - most of the motherboards have gone bad.

OK - so in what city do you live?

Like others, I have a couple of old LaserWriters, a IIntx and IInt. The ntx needs the a feed roller replacement and the nt needs the DC controller IIRC. Too heavy and too and hard to ship. Love to give them away if you (or anyone else) can arrange pickup in Connecticut. --glen

Around X.4 (I think) the re was a change to networking, I seem to recall
it requires an older 10x hub connected to newer network. I'll see if i
can find a reference.

I still use both a LaserWriter Pro 600 and a LaserWriter 8500 connected via ethernet using PPD’s from older versions of OS X. I’ve also connected to an ImageWriter using a LocalTalk to Ethernet bridge which should work with any of the old LaserWriters.

Ethernet cable if you have a LW IIg. For LW's without an ethernet port, one way would be to find an ethernet to Appletalk converter like Asante made. Not sure if the newer Mac OS's have the LaserWriter driver but he generic postscript driver should work. At least it worked for me when connecting a very old GCC XL20/1200 postscript laser printer to OS 10.11.6
