Hey Zeppo....1.39GB + 246 kb + 1kb sounds great!!
I will be ready to resort to a new plan for going Daphne......
In early 2007, three things will happen:
1) I will upgrade my current G4 iMac to an Intel-based iMac (this new iMac was just unveiled two days ago, sporting Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 160 GB hard drive minimum - 250 GB hard drive maximum, SuperDrive, ATI Radeon GPU, TONS of internal memory....the works!) BTW I've had my G4 iMac for 4 years now -- it's time for an upgrade anyway
Last, but not least, wait for OSX 10.5 aka Leopard, which will make "BootCamp" a breeze!
2) Download BootCamp from
www.apple.com/bootcamp
3) Purchase a copy of Windows XP or maybe the brand-spanking new Windows expected to ship in January.
With this combination, I won't need Virtual PC, and I think this combination will make the DAPHNE/dvd2daph process MUCH MUCH easier, particularly the dvd2daph part.
I want to thank casm for his recent post on the DAPHNE docfile. Some of it, yes, is a bit outdated, but it's a nice, organized breakdown of it's innards (I printed the whole thing out!). But even better, I printed out EVERY page of the DAPHNE wiki -- that's going to be REALLY helpful for me.
But wait, there's more!
Earlier this week, I ordered directly from Digital Leisure a copy of the Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary DVD box set, and should be receiving it anyday now. 20th Ann. = the best
Yes, the DAPHNE journey for me will have to wait, but I think the wait will be worth it.
Thanks again!
Jodi
P.S. anyone who wishes to comment about my above mentioned plans (hardware and software issues, etc.) are welcome!!
