Re: Expansion Bay products
Well the plot thickens! I switched the drives around and the UJDA330 doesn't seem to have the screw holes in the same place as the UJDA710 mentioned in the article on the face plate. I can't seem to get it to fit correctly, even though it looks like it fits perfectly. The Pismo sees the drive and Toast 5 sees it also, but Toast can't seem to write to it at all (the drive just clicks), with the Pismo face plate installed. If I put the face plate that came with the drive it will play music CD's and Toast wrote a music CD at 8x with no problem, but there are major gaps between the face plate and the bottom of the expansion bay. I guess it doesn't make any difference how it looks, since it is just a handy burner for me anyway. Also, the Pismo won't eject the CD from the UJDA330 from the desktop or from Toast, but I can eject with the button on the face plate, not the paper clip one but the normal open button. My Pismo with 9.0.1 on it did the burning and playing and my Pismo with 9.2.1 on it also sees the UJDA330 as DiskBurner ready, which is nice also. I seems to be workable, but not quite as polished (that is the shiny version, not the European Country) as I would like it to be. Tom, I'm wondering whether the intermittent fault your seller of the CD unit had may have been related, possibly, to a ribbon cable or some other electrical connector in the unit itself - and thus its flakyness. Or the fact it's not sitting right with the original Apple faceplate. A long shot, but at least the unit works. My other guess about eject is that probably has pretty strict rules about how the system talks to exp. bay devices, and ones that don't play by the rules don't work properly. Also dunno whether the 330 has electrical or mechanical eject. cheers, RD Remy Davison Contributing Editor/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: Expansion Bay products
The problem seems to be that the screw holes are not in the same place as the original expansion bay drive (there ais one on the top, one on the side and one on the bottom in the center instead of two on top and one on the side (the only one that lines up) as per the original) face plate. That seems to put the plate off kilter some what and thus the drive tray seems to stick, plus the center screw tab (on the original) has no place to go on the 330 and I don't really want to eliminate it completely in case I put it back on the old drive. I can certainly use one of my Pismo drives, as they do change out very easily and see if that it the problem, but I still thing it is physical incompatibility of the face plate for the most part. The 330 seems to be mechanical in stead of electrical, since it clicks two times before it does anything, while my original drive doesn't have the clicking sound. As I said before, it works (Full music CD at 8x on a CD-RW and it plays back), which gives me a very portable burner that I paid $130 for. It is much easier to carry around than any of the external burners I have seen and has no cord of any kind. Tom Well the plot thickens!

Re: iMovie and firewire card in Lombard 400
I just got a copy of iMovie 2.1.1 and saw the requirements must have built in firewire. Does this mean that a firewire card with my Lombard 400 Mac OS 9.1 won't work with iMovie 2? Has anyone gotten it to work anyway with a firewire card? I tried this on my Wallstreet 292 Mhz with a firewire2Go card and it seems to work. Yes, the screen display is choppy (that improves with a faster processor., I think). I don't edit with iMovie, juts use it as a capture solution for After Effects. Yep, as Roger says, the 'built-in' requirement is nonsense. Any FireWire-equipped Mac works with iMovie, for camera control and capturing, whatever. Enjoy. You can still get the Newer FW2Go card for under $40 and there's an IBM one for $29, I think.

my first G3 (300) PowerBook - file transfer problem
Btw, in response to an earlier post on MacLaw, my PowerBook is a 14 thus apparently there is no contrast setting. How weird. Anyway, I bought a Crossover ethernet cable yesterday and then spent the next three+ hours trying every setting possible to get the two computers to talk to each other all to no avail. I set the permission levels to read write in the Users and Groups panels, I set the file to be shared on the iMac and even (later) made a empty folder on the PowerBook with the same name (client text) so that there would be a file to be shared on both servers (the apple help said you needed to do that). I've done the turning both of the appletalks on both computers on at the same time - threemacs.com said that this was sometimes needed. AAaaagh! This is really frustrating. How can I find out if the ethernet port on my PowerBook even works? I suppose it might not as I just bought it used. The iMac has never been off my desk so I think I can assume that its okay. Are the cables often defective? The PowerBook is using OS 9.2.2 and the iMac uses 8.6 but that should not be a problem. I've read several postings on googlegroups.com and read everything on point at threemacs.com and I have tried every combination that was suggested on either site. Suggestions?

Re: How does a crossover cable differ?
I'm not sure how you use it, but a crossover cable has opposite wiring on each end for example the wire would be red/blue/green on one end and green/ blue/red on the other.

Re: How does a crossover cable differ?
But if you have a TiBook or a newer G4 PowerMac, it has Auto MDI-X built in, a technology that autosenses whether a crossover or straight-through cable is plugged in, and autoconfigures itself to work right.
