Lombard os upgrade
I have a 1999 lombard running os 8.6. I want to run os x, but I don't know if I can upgrade from my present os. Do I need to upgrade to 9.0 first? If this is the case, can I upgrade without the original os 8.6 cd? If so, how? Thank you for your help. -Michael __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Pismo/Lombard etc. SmartdiskVST sale
Thanks, Beverly. I ordered one for my brother. He has not forgiven me since I picked up one for $50!

The Zip drives (100MB) for Piz/Lomb are still available as of now (01:35 EST). 57 units in stock according to the store @ 30 bucks a piece, as are the Wallstreet Zip 100s (100 units), also at 30 bucks. The Lombard 333 DVD kits are still there at $120 as well (51 units). If you need the decoder card only for Wall though, you might be better off buying (I think) the $99 unit from MCE (I think that's how much they sell them for). I'd seriously like an 8GB or something Media Bay HD for the Wall I have here, as the 3 gigger (non-stock Hitachi) is useless with OS 9/X on it. And $35 is a lot less than most 8 giggers usually go for. Frankly, I think VST would have made a killing if they'd just produced a heap of empty exp. bay shells and then optioned in the drives as people wanted them. Less outdated (e.g., 4GB) stock. As it is, MCE's $99 and $119 cases are probably too expensive. Ditto for ROM drive cases; produce the case and then put in OEM Matsushitas, 16x if the customer wants. BTO is the way to go.

Re: Pismo RAM and help with a decision...

Lombard Battery Charging Problem
While using my Lombard 333 here in India a few days ago, there was some fluctuation with the power supply, and although two of us had spike protectors and surge protectors, both of our regular and clock back up batteries stopped working, although everything had been fine before. I don't know what it was that got through all of the protection (India is having massive power problems since Dabhol has shut down), but it appears to have fried the charging mechanism. Can someone tell me what part this is and how to change it? Thanks, -- James Cox Post Meherabad Ahmednagar Dist.

I agree with you, Remy. If they had sold the bare cases, they could habe made a bundle. Of course, given what the prices were for these before they cleared them out, they probably DID make a bundle.

Re: Pismo/Lombard etc. SmartdiskVST sale
Though items in general, and the expansion bay hard drives in particular, went quickly (i.e., within about two hours from when I received the Smartdisk email announcing the sale), you can bet they'll be appearing on e-bay pretty soon. It's likely that some people pounced on the sale and bought as many units as they could, with an eye to reselling them. I was disappointed about not getting one of the 30GB or 18GB expansion bay drives, though I did find out in the end that buying one off e-bay might be cheaper than if I'd got it directly from Smartdisk. Just to get an idea on shipping, I put an order thru for an expansion bay HD and a USB floppy, and at checkout I got international shipping rates of $100 to Europe and $60 to Canada (!!) What a joke. Even more so considering that they were offering free ground shipping in the US (e.g., Vancouver, BC is just across the border from Vancouver, WA, but they want $60 to go that extra mile or two). I'm sorry now I wasted an hour or so rummaging thru the Smartdisk web site and returning from time to time, hoping to find that the stock had been replenished. If prices don't get too out of hand on e-bay, I'll be able to get an exp bay HD shipped to Canada for about $35 less than Smartdisk wanted.

Re: Manuals WARNING:o)
YOu have to be a registered Apple tech to get them now as they are pass coded and have been umm for a month or so. These are no for the general public and apple changes the FTP about once a month or so and have pass coded them from public view so unless you are a Apple tech you can no longer get them and if i did know a way to do so i can not tell since any leaks get shut down within 24 hours from this posting thanks James Not quite. Apple made available the full Service Source CDs commercially available a year or so back for a few hundred bucks the set. They're freely available on ebay and elsewhere. What they were doing was widening the availability of Apple-knowledgeable techs, who did Mac repairs, but were never going to bother to become certified techs (I've seen the exams, they're damn difficult! You really have to be a hardware engineer - Kyle, are you one?). I had a buddy a while back (now back in the US) who was a CS and Elec Eng graduate and a cert tech with a v. strong embedded HW background. He left Apple tech 'cos it was too boring and he preferred surface mounting ICs to see what would happen when he soldered them all together and gave it 240 volts of juice. He also clocked his PB 5300 bus to 40Mhz with a soldering iron, while holding a milk shake in one hand and a hot dog in the other. Not a bad effort.

Once the image is created, you'll lose approx. 650MB on your hard drive. You just double click the disk image, disk copy mounts it on the desk top like it would a real CD, and you're on your way. Apps that just request some file on some volume will usually work with disk images; they say i need file X that's stored on a volume called FOO. Apps that make direct hardware requests usually do not, and this is the case with many games these days. They say I need file X that's at IDE 1 volume 1. By making direct hardware requests, they skirt around any disk image trickery. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: stuck pixel repair for Wallstreet 300?
Sometimes this works, but rarely permanently; usually, you'll get it to disappear for a few hours, until the next time the display is bumped, or until the next time the computer is restarted. I have had a Duo 2300 and Wallstreet that both had a bad pixel. I massaged the darn thing and it did indeed clear up. It's weird that it worked. After that, I was lucky, the bad pixels never came back. Sometimes other pixels started acting up, then I rubbed them and they went away. So I guess it's worth a try.

TiBook not recognizing RAM module
Hi all, I just received my second 256 MB RAM module in a week from OWC, and my TiBook 550 hasn't recognized either one of them. It appears to meet Apple specs: PC 133 low-profile SDRAM (that's what it says on the module itself. OWC lists it on the invoice as SO-DIMM, and I honestly don't know the difference). I followed the installation instructions in the manual-it couldn't have been easier. I reseated it several times, and zapped the PRAM just for good measure, but to no avail. Is there something I'm missing? I just don't think it's very likely that I would get two defective RAM modules in a row.

Re: TiBook not recognizing RAM module
my TiBook 550 hasn't recognized either one of them. It appears to meet Apple specs: PC 133 low-profile SDRAM (that's what it says on the module itself. I am so confused about this whole issue. Apparently from what little I have read, our TiBook needs PC100 memory. However, it supposedly can take PC133. We have a 100Mhz bus as opposed to 133. Now read this response I got from Powerlist: The EEprom on most SoDIMMS only contain two different timing settings. A PC100 module only contain the settings for PC66 and PC100 and a PC133 module only for PC133 and PC100. This means that most PC133 modules won't work in a system with a PC66 bus. So, from the above, YES your computer should be able to use the PC133 module since it contains info for 133 and 100. Can you tell me what kind of module is currently in your TiBook? Is it 133 or 100 (the memory that came from Apple). If it's PC100, then I should be able to use it in my Wallstreet. Anyway, I have two 256MB modules coming in, I will let you know how mine goes.

Re: BLUECHIP
That is the worst horror story I have ever heard. Well, maybe not the worst :-) Still bad though. I also think that OWC should have pulled the contract with PL. Maybe so... well, they said they have changed how they deal with Powerlogix. FWIW: Apparently Sonnet is better - they _did_ go through a round where they were putting lower clock rate marked chips on boards, but apparently this was a manufacturer marking and not indicative of the actual rated speed of the chip. whatever Anyway, Newer Tech is going back online - they had some cool products. Back to Powerlogix. After receiving my modded and fixed board, their attitude towards me changed radically.

Re: BLUECHIP

There's limited support; OS X does not support hardware acceleration with that card, but the card itself works. If anyone was sold on the Rage Pro, they didn't do their homework. It only remained the best graphics card on the market for about 6 weeks after it was released. The LT was NEVER a good graphics card. Whether or not the graphics card can be replaced depends on your computer. but if you have a PowerBook (which I'm assuming you do), the answer is no.

SO FRUSTRATED - General advice please.. (long)
I'm sorry this is so long. I have a multitude of problems with my Wallstreet II (upgraded to 500mHz with the Sonnet card, 30GB Travelstar drive, 192MB RAM) I hope the wise ones on this list can advise me. What's so frustrating is that this machine should be extremely powerful, but these problems keep it from being very useful at all. I would sell it (with full disclosure, of course) and let someone else work out the kinks, but it was a gift, so I'm stuck. Honestly, I'm getting tired of it and it's almost worse than not having a Mac at all. Problem 1 - I can live with this one. The screen has a streaky vertical watermark appearance which I think is a problem with the cable (or the guts) and not the actual screen. When I boot into OS9, I can't detect the streaks on the b/w Mac OS 9.2 screen. I can only see then once the background image loads. Dialog and other boxes on screen cause additional streaks to appear which are parallel to the edges of the box. I know it's a hardware problem, but I just don't know which part it is. Problem 2: Power. The thing will not sleep reliably. I guess it loses contact with the battery and dies out of sleep. It loses PRAM settings, of course. When I boot it (Have to plug it in) it boots into OS9. (I guess b/c I have OS9 on its own partition) First it shows no battery, then after a couple seconds, shows the fully charged battery. ARG. Sent it into PBParts.com for the problem and he found a grounding problem. He said: The 'normal' symptom for this grounding issue is that the unit will not charge the standby battery or main battery while the unit is on. But it will charge them while it's off or sleeping. We've evaluated your standby battery after 24 hours of charging, and it lasts about 1.5 minutes. This is not up to Apple's guidelines, but we've found that anything over 30 seconds is acceptable. We can continue to test your unit, or we can assume it's fixed (based on the grounding problem), and ship it back. I opted to have him send it back - but the problem remains. So, I guess I have to send it back to him for more testing. It's just so frustrating. Does anyone have any advice for me other than to send it back to pbparts.com for repair? Problem 3: Following advice on this board, I booted into 0S 9 to do my video stuff. I was able to manipulate video in FC Pro with choppy playback onscreen, which is fine. Everything appeared to be fine, but printing to video I lost audio. I just got tiny bits and pieces of audio. Is this a RAM issue? Is 192MB not enough? Could it be my Firewire card? Any advice on any of these topics would be sincerely appreciated. Dan Lovejoy -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

If you connect and power-on the projector/monitor prior to booting Mac OS, then your computer should detect the output device and be capable of utilizing it. However, that does not necessarily mean that you'll immediately be ready to go with an image onscreen. When Mac OS detects a secondary video output device, it will reveal additional configuration options in the Monitors control panel. These options allow basic management of dual displays and panoramic desktops, and the interface is very simple. Small graphic images in the Monitors control panel window show the relative position of your primary and secondary (etc.) displays. For your purposes, you probably want both the big screen and your laptop to show exactly the same thing (i.e., no panoramic desktop, just replicate the image on the big screen). If your laptop shows a standard desktop, but the secondary display shows a blank desktop, simply drag and drop the secondary display icon onto the primary display icon in the control panel window. This is the only snag you're likely to run in to. If you're using an LCD projector, and all that it's projecting is a black or blue screen, and all the above conditions were met, the projector is probably toggled to a video or computer input other than the one you're using. Most LCD projectors have a MODE button used to cycle through all available inputs. Pressing this button will eventually switch the projector to the RGB port you're plugged in to. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Manuals WARNING:o)
David, from what I've heard the older PowerBooks were quite reliable. However, my Pismo has the feel of a cheap toy. It's never been dropped, but the left rear corner of the case is cracked and the IR cover has fallen out. The battery keeps falling out so I've had to tape it in. I motorcycle too, but usually not with my PowerBook. It's too heavy to carry in my courier bag and takes up way too much space. I doubt if it would long survive the vibration of my BMWs, never mind the Buell. I've come to consider the availability of servicing information damn near a constitutional right. Without manuals and such my PowerBook will probably be one failure away from the dumpster when the extended warranty expires. Apple will only sell you 3 years warranty, which perhaps says something about the durability of their hardware. I expect at least 5 years use from electronic stuff, and 10 years from motor vehicles. The BMW I rode to work today is 18 years old, and in that time 2 local dealers have gone out of business and the 3rd is useless. Without a manual it would have been binned long ago. I also have a Ten-Tec ham radio transceiver from the early 1980s that came with a very complete manual. It thusly still works fine and will continue to do so for years to come. These items are keepers, while the Pismo seems a throwaway toy by comparison. Apple seems to think they'll force me to lay out a couple grand for a new PowerBook every 3 years. I don't reward such banditry, and will by my next computer elsewhere.

Re: Manuals WARNING:o)
Dear Dyna, I just want to say that I am truly sorry about your PowerBook experience. I have had my Lombard four years now and with the exception of having to replace a hard disk in 2000(a problem I brought on myself), I haven't had any problems whatsoever. If I felt that apple was just trying to get bucks out of me with no concern for my well being as a customer,and no support for the current apple products I own, I would probably feel the same way you do. As a matter of fact, I'm waiting to see how they handle this ati rage video card/OSX issue. It will speak volumes to me on the kind of company apple is and be a factor in wether I continue with my apple experience or not.
