VST 10 Gig Expansion Bay HD in Pismo
I have a couple of these VST 10 Gig expansion Bay drives, they come with system 8.6 on them, the Apple Drive set up in OS 9 recognizes them so I should be able to format them with Apple HD set up, partition, and use OS 10 from the expansion bay drives as I make the transition from 9 to 10, I think... hope.. I am trying to make a system on the VST that runs only OS X and not mix them 9 and 10 If anyone is using the VSTs expansion disk to successfully run OS 10.1.3 and to use it as a start up disk under OS X I would really like to hear that it will work I installed a copy of OS 10 on a 40 gig firewire external drive, can I just copy that whole OS X folder off the firewire drive to the expansion bay VST and have a bootable system under OS X, or will I have to use an external CD rom to successfully install OS. X on the VST expansion bay. As the bay has to have the vst into to load OS X from my disk, what's a person to do,, Thanks Geoffinak Pismos 1 gig memory -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: System Folder Backup
Mission accomplished! Thanks to all who contributed on this item. Booting the Pismo from a CD and mounting the Cube HD on the Pismo desktop worked like a charm. I now understand the difference between server and client! Thanks again for the good advice.

You then dragged files *from* the Pismo to the Cube. Whenever you copy System files from a server you will get the in use errors. However, if you reverse the server and client, you will have no problem. Do this: 1) Mount the Cube on the Pismo 2) Drag the Pismo System Folder to the Cube All should proceed as desired.

Re: Availability of VST 10 Gig Expansion Bay HDs
BTW, I note now that SmartDisk has removed the expansion bay HDs from its product pages - so that's presumably the end of them. Old stock elsewhere (still at shoplet?) maybe - or MCE is your other choice (though costs $$). (still waiting on WorldWide Express to deliver my VST drive :-( but guess I gotta count easter. I think I ordered my VST expansion drive from Shoplet the same day you did (last Sunday 3/24?). I got a call from Shoplet on Thursday saying that they would be shipping my drive. I got them to overnight it to me at their expense (an upgrade from the Fed Ex 2 day service I already had). Got my drive Friday and it works great under 9 and X. I think we've seen the last of these drives at the sub-$60 price. Any vendors that still have them--like OfficeDepot.com--are selling them at the old retail prices (~200 bucks). As many of you have probably noticed, several of these drives have shown up on ebay in the last couple of weeks, all them being sold in the $125 area.

Dead Pismo
Hello, My 400 mhz Pismo has died. It booted into target disk mode this morning as always but I noticed later that the screen was black. The icon still showed up on my G-4 desktop but my G-4 soon froze up and I had to reboot it. The Pismo icon was gone after the G-4 restarted. The Pismo was running off AC power, not battery. I tried unplugging the power supply but it's still dead and as far as I know, the battery is charged. I'm running OS X 10.1.2 on both machines and I have plenty of RAM. It's apparently a hardware/power problem, rather than software, but I'm clueless as to why. I've never had this problem before. Any suggestions?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2002 10:13:15 EST Subject: iBOok batt'sRe: Going Batty Over Batteries THe iBook is a very unique Powerbook, in several angles (not counting it's strange resemblance to a toilet seat).. It does NOT have a PRAM battery, but rather the power is kept from the main battery. THere is a smalll capacitor which will keep the PRAM hot for a minute or so, if you pull the battery (to switch them), but it doesn't have any other power source. Unfortunately, it also doesn't allow the AC power to keep the PRAM hot, so pulling the battery (or having a totally bogus battery) will keep your PRAM stuff very screwed up. Thanks, David Wegener Wegener Media www.wegenermedia.com Hi and Thanks for this major education about the ibook. Who would have guessed? Sounds like all bad news to me since I thought I could use it w/adapter only and not even bother with batteries. Are all of the ibooks made this way (old and new ones)? So, an ibook must ALWAYS have a working battery in it, eh? Time to go shopping... Why the intermittent amber light (evidently signaling a brief false charge)? (It did it again tonight). Just curious. Thanks mucho.

Any advice for a novice on batteries, specifically and in general, and/or links to further info? (The Help Guide on the macs are not always so helpful!) :-/ Specifically: Recently acquired Rev. B iBook (300mhz, 128ram, 6gb, OS 9.1): Date and time is sometimes not holding; the computer is slugglish starting up; sometimes the submenus do not expand, it is freezing up, pointer gets paralyzed, etc. Re: the date/time, Mac Help Menu says something about may need a backup battery replaced by authorized apple retailer. Is this backup battery the same as what is referred to as PRAM? I zapped PRAM twice, and that helped the date/time... for awhile anyway... but when I've had to force quit/shutdown, the date/time is lost again... (that never used to happen on my older DT mac, and I forced/shutdown it many times.) ;) Re: the lithium-ion battery and yoyo adapter: I'm trying to determine if both of these batteries I have are ready for the dumpster. I left the adapter on for 24 hours. Then last night it was amber and the control strip said battery is being recharged. It was amber for about 20 minutes on two occasions. Then it turns green in between, and the control strip then says, battery has been removed from your computer (even though battery is still installed). Could it also be a problem with the yoyo adapter? BTW, I also installed Battery Reset, but that didn't seem to help. General question: For future reference, if you always use the laptop w/power adapter, and don't really need the batteries, should you just take them out of the computer and set them aside? And/or does it hurt anything to leave them IN and never use them? And/or like my cell phone, should batteries be used until they drain completely, and then recharge them over and over, even though you don't really need to be using them (because I'm always by a power outlet)?

Re: Connecting stereo to PowerBook
The output of a Wallstreet powerbook is approximately at Line Level, which means you can connect it via a lead with a 3.5mm stereo plug (mini headphone plug) to two phono (RCA) plugs, plugged into your Aux sockets on your HiFi. If you don't get any sound, check that the Mute button is not checked in the Sound Control Panel.
