The Nikon D1X can do 9 shots in 3 seconds.  The Nikon D1H is even faster.

Apple says they've tested it up to 384 MB (128 MB bottom, 256 MB top).
Since then, some manufacturers have developed special 256 MB low-profile
memory specifically for Lombard.

20-30 GB should suffice.  Any larger becomes much more expensive, so it
depends on how much you need the extra space vs. how much you're willing
to spend.

I'g got a OS9.2 partition on a firewire drive that I can boot to, tho 
I've never tried OSX on the firewire. Still, if it will see the firewire 
on boot and get OS9, it should work for OSX as well. THe issue should be 
SEEING the firewire while booting- what is ON the firewire drive 
shouldn't matter...

So yes it is possible.

PS problem on Lombard

2002-04-22 Thread w miller

Does anyone have an idea on why, in Photoshop 5.5's rubber stamp, I can't
select the area to copy with Option/Enter on the Lombard? The keyboard's
somewhat different than the 3400's but I can't figure out how to modify the
keystrokes.

Hmm . . . I've used one for 15 months on my G4 tower with no

Pismos booting firewire?

2002-04-22 Thread JustinLee

(sorry, the message that I'm replying to isn't quoted here because I
accidentally deleted it)

Would the machine run faster off of a 7200 rpm ATA-100 firewire drive (than
when booted off of the internal 4200 RPM drive).  I would think it would.
Has anyone done this?  Is there a significant difference?

Justin

 Has anyone booted off of a firewire drive with a pismo in OS X? I'm assuming
 this would be better than booting off of the internal drive.  (because the
 internal drive would be slower and it create much less heat...??)

Re: Airborne Express AppleCare shipping: no insurance allowed!

2002-04-22 Thread Luca Rescigno


-- 
My mother, a cartographer and computer artist, has had many bad 
experiences with Airborne Express in the past. One of her clients had 
a big, multi-million dollar deal with another company, but they 
missed out on it because they had switched to Airborne Express to 
save money. It turns out Airborne sent the package to the office next 
door. Big mistake.

I've used Airborne Express once for shipping something, and they 
weren't very good. There was no one home when they delivered it, but 
they didn't leave a note. Luckily I happened to check the tracking 
number that night and I called customer service, but if I hadn't, 
that cycle could have continued for days. I'm never using Airborne 
again and I don't recommend it to anyone.

Re: Interesting news regarding OSX

2002-04-22 Thread Walter R Basil

I noticed that myself... That is cool.

I have an old 3400c sitting at the house :)

I just wonder how badly it will run..haha. I mean, this processor speed is
180MHz. I know they made faster ones, and even included the G3 in one of
them, but unfortunately, I have the 180. I only paid $300 for it though, so
it's not that bad. I was planning on keeping it an OS 9 machine.

I guess I will be aquafying it this summer.

 Ryan Rempel has tweaked things so that you can run OS X on a 3400...
 
 This came in my weekly OWC newsletter:
 
 Ryan is still hard at work with XpostFacto. On April 16th, version
 2.2b4 became available, little more than a week after the first 2.2b1
 was released. Version 2.2bx of XpostFacto makes it possible for the
 first time ever to install Apple OS X 10.1.x onto the original PowerBook
 G3 (3500/Kanga), PowerBook 3400 Series, and the PowerBook Duo 2400.
 Additionally, the latest version supports OS X installation to a drive
 connected to a third party ATA interface and provides 'processor
 throttling' during startup that eliminates OS X compatibility issues
 experienced when booting off some third party SCSI cards in a machine
 with a G3 or G4 Upgrade. Download the beta or the current release
 version and get all the info on all the machines currently supported here:
