Hi All, new to this list... seems like a great place.
My dilemma is with a partially restored series 11 (266) Wallstreet.
Last year I put in a 40 gb HD, extra ram (256 total), a USB (ADS 2.0
turbo) card, and an 802.11b Wireless Lan card, running OS 9.2.2 and
!0.2. Worked great for my purposes at that time but I know find
myself traveling more and hoping to use it in the field for
capturing video/audio files from a quick cam or other USB camera.
I've also hit the OS 10.2.8 bump on my desktop and plan to upgrade
soon to 10.3, and was hoping to keep the 2 machines synched. I'm
also still fairly dependent on Classic for my older Apps, though I'd
be willing to dual boot on the laptop if need be.
Is anyone running !0.3 daily with a Wallstreet? Will I need the
extra ram (expensive low profile) ?
I have 10.3.9 on three Wallstreet IIs, 256-320 Mb RAM and 20-40 Gb.
Wireless and USB on them too. Works well although one wigged out and
took some finessing with XpostFacto to restore to operations (no data
loss though)
Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate my G4 desktop (dual 450
gigabit ethernet) without any problems (missing drivers/control
panels)?
I don't know. It might work if you pre install XpostFacto (assuming
you are talking about 10.3 here).
I also need a new pram battery (expensive) and new main batteries
(expensive) and when I recently upgraded to 10.2.8, I lost my USB
connectivity to my external OWC Elite HD and also took a speed hit.
(might this be the dead pram battery?)
I had USB access to a harddrive under both 10.2.8 and now under 10.3.9.
Is it worth the expense of upgrading further or should I bite the
bullet and forget the whole idea of 10.3, synching, and video
capture on this venerable old machine? (love torturing Windows users
by telling them it's a 1998 model!)
More memory is always better. It's not that expensive.
