I guess prices are low because these units are probably going out of production, maybe because the powerbooks they're for are getting long in the tooth; though I would have no problem using a Pismo for another few years at least.

Re: Smartdisk's 10gb Expansion Bay Hd (was: Lombard DVD)
Thansk a lot for the good news Albert. Your words sound like music to my ears :-). Unfortunately the bad news is that the guys back at Shoplet sent me a mail today telling me that my hd has been back ordered :-( I was already drooling over it and now I'll have to wait God knows for how long before being able to put my greedy little hands on it. Oh well ... I've been doing well without it 'till now, I'm sure I will be able to handle the situation for another while :-). Someone at IGM did post a comment that they had sleep probs with it under OS X (not crash; just had to ejected/reinserted after sleep to recognized), but that may well have been their particular software setup. cheers, RD Remy Davison Contributing Editor and News Editor, Insanely-Great Mac http://www.insanely-great.com mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RD's PowerBook page: http://www.macpowerbook.com -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Internal Fan movement in Lombard
I've had a Lombard for just over a year and can't get the fan to come on no matter what I've tried. Wanted to compare it to the one in my new TiBook but no such luck. So to answer your question, the fan not running is probably normal.

Re: Expansion Bay HD
Thanks, Remy. I knew you'd have the goods on this. Gary Remy Davison wrote: OK, group, here's a question some of you might find interesting--you in particular, Remy. Compgeeks again has their PowerBoy USB/Firewire (2.5) on sale. I have one already that I put the HD from my Pismo into when I removed it. With the 10gb expansion drives available would one not be able to pull the HD from that and insert it into a (faster) PowerBoy enclosure. What would be the pluses and minuses of that? Gary, it would very much depend upon your FW enclosure and FW controller. Is the PBoy Oxford 911? If so, it will perform much better on an iceBook or recent Ti than any Pismo, Ti or CardBus FW. It would probably match the int. HD on these 'Books. On 'old' FW controllers, it wouldn't max out the bus on a Pismo but would come close on a Lombard. Conclusion: the drive is likely to be faster in the expansion bay than in the PBoy. Admittedly, 2.5 self-powered FW drives are useful, but optimum performance is going to come from a 3.5 powered FW drive on a faster controller, with a 7,200rpm/2MB cache drive, like the 60GXP Deskstar (no affiliation; but until recently, when IBM released the latest Deskstars, it was clearly the best. Mine's in an IceCube (marketed as the Fire'n'Ice case elsewhere). It's a 911, probably equal best performer with the Granite Digital from OWC, IIRC. I have my Lombard/Wallstreet benchmark figures with it here: http://www.insanely-great.com/features/011019.html Cheers, RD -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Internal Fan movement in Lombard
i'm not sure what the problem is. i bought a brand new 20 gig HD and 2 new 128 meg RAM chips for the thing. i have a very hard time getting an OS installed (8.6-10X) and when i'm able it doesn't stay stable. i've tested the drive with everything from Norton to my Apple Technician CD's but i can't find any problems anywhere. it's weird. my theory was that it might be overheating but it's only a theory. alot of Type 2 errors too. - Original Message - From: Chrys Cruz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: G-Books [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 3:55 PM Subject: Re: Internal Fan movement in Lombard i'm investigating the possiblity of a heat problem in my Lombard 333 and i noticed that as my book is sitting and on and i look in the side near the battery to see the fan, i notice that it isn't moving. is that normal? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
