I found 2 great disc images online which are bootable and have all kinds of classic mac OS, recovery utilities, disk copy and formatting utils, network scrpts, Open Transport, Apple Share etc.

They are torrent downloads, I can provide a link to them if you want to reply off list. Most of this is available online but it's really handy to have it all on a CD which you can also boot from (if you have a CD ROM) The software all runs from the CD.

I used the disks yesterday and quickly formatted the drive, installed 7.6 and updated to 7.6.1. The disk has recovery and install software from 6 through 8, amongst other things. Very handy.

Ok good to know thanks Jamie, I have a Quadra 840AV. Updated it to 7.5.5 yesterday. Now it has network capability I'm going to do a clean install from a network access floppy. The hard disc is very fragmented and also I updated it from a Dutch OS to English so it has a mixed up system folder. Seems stable but I know it's better to do a clean install.

I ordered some more ram from here

I'll install the RAM, Soundcard and change the PRAM battery at the same time. Should be lovely with a fresh install of 7.5.5!

Regards, Robin

yes all the soundtools 1/2 and audiomedia1/2 are nubus slot cards and only fit pre pci nubus slot machines

quadra800av was the last model but be carefull as there are quadras that were pci slot based

i still use a macIIci with max ram 128mb and a special monitor that can be turned around so that you can have it landscape or virtical which i still use for my eii and eiii it works great with the mirage and other samplers and does smdi support for those samplers that support scsi dump transfers

its great to record in 48khz 16bits and dump to the emax eii in glorious 8 bit compressed format and how most of the eii/eiii library was made

north star cdroms were also produced this way and they also ported the library to the eiii in its original 16bit format sd2 is still a great piece of software and turbo synth is a great way of getting new spectral synthesis material into these old samplers with very small memory

also some machines have pds slots with this type you need to have a pds to nubus card this usually gives you 2 nubus slots

avoid these machines as the pds adapters are harder to find than the mac computers

os7.6 is really the highest version to use with these cards as when it went to os8 the midi became different and why avid dropped sampler support as it meant them writing new midi drivers and they could not be bothered

The audiomedia card I ordered is a nubus card though. Interesting thoughts re: their coding, it does sound about right!

ill look for my several disks i have the original version and several updates up to the pci

as i never updated to the pci because of the sampler support discontinue this is because the midi implementation was changed on the pci version and digidesign could not be bothered to update drivers which led me to believe that digidesign never really coded anything but used some one elses code and just brought you can tell this by each mac developement as when it changed digidesign just dropped suppot

it will run with sound excelarator 1/2 aand audio media cards 1 and 2 audiomedia3 it wont they dropped all sampler support with the pci cards only nubus card slots work with the samplers

i have a sound excellorator 2 card called soundtools it was the pre protools version one sound card and used an external dac i/o box with phono spdif 44-48khz

i used turbo synth and sd2 with mine i used turbo synth mostly for the mirage as it can do spectral synthesis like the emax can but visually on a screen rather than numbers on a small emax lcd

Thanks very much for the links and info! I tried to upload the manual but it was too large and I didn't know how to split it like you have. Great work thanks!

Not as an accelerator,only the 2.2 version works with audiomedia cards.

But it should be possible to play the audio through it, if you use the sound manager playback setting and set the sound control panel to the audiomedia card.

To set up sound manager see here: https://happymacs.wordpress.com/tag/audiomedia-ii/ (not mine).

The turbosynth manual is here http://theviirus.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/turbosynth_manual.pdf but i will upload it here too (not mine either).
