#8100/100,110 Available?
5 messages in this thread
aloha,
i've seen some discussion about media 100 and it's use on
PowerMac 8100/100 & 110. i'm considering buying along those lines,
but a dealer i've talked to says that those macs are in very short
supply. can anyone enlighten me? and for users of media 100, what
are viable alternatives to the 100/110 machines?
Yes, the 8100's are in short supply — a critical part was made in
Kobe, Japan and is now offline due to the quake. Word is that this
shortage will probably last until June.
I'm lucky to have gotten a 8100/110 the day after Christmas (direct
from Apple since I am an Apple Partner). The Media 100 works very
nicely in it.
Not sure of the best alternatives right now, but I suggest you call
Data Translation directly to find out. You might also post this
question over on BPFORUM, which has quite a few Media 100 (and Avid)
users.
burt,
thanks for the info. i do hang out in the bpforum and have heard other
mac views there. i hope my 8100/110 comes soon, my dealer was able to get one,
but like most others, i must wait.
thanks
Mel,
The only alternatives worth considering are the 8100/80 or the 840AV.
Both of these machines are no longer produced, but you may be able to
pick one up if you hunt around.

i've figured that the 8100/110 is my only choice. but i'm
still waiting…..dealer says that it's a matter of getting all the
pieces together. monitors, kb, drives,…..i hope soon
