Re: OS 10.2 and beyond...
I have a 500 MHz Powerbook G3 (a.k.a.Pismo or 2000 edition or Firewire), 256 Meg RAM, and have hesitated to switch to OS X. Any comments or personal experience would be appreciated from people who made the switch. I heard that under OS X I would not be able to play DVD movies on my Powerbook, is that true? Yah the processer pops right out of the PowerBook 2000 edition real easy almost to easy, You have to remove it i think if i remember right to install the lower ram chip. I remember readin that the 2000 powerbook was suppose to be a G4 under orginal design but due to heat problems they intalled a G3 instead. Thus actually the Powerbook motherboard was a powerbook G4 motherboard with a G3 processor on it.

Re: iBook vs. PowerBook
Stout just started it this year and I really don't know about all of the other schools in the UW system, but they are firm about having to purchase a PC. Students that are in the Arts get a Mac instead, but they also get no choice, even though they already are getting the best laptop for the job. The cost (rental) is $500 per year, with a new laptop (unspecified model or make) after two years, but if anything happens to the computer, the user is responsible for the cost of fixing it, not Stout.

Re: OS 10.2 and beyond...
If you can afford it go with a gig of ram it is a huge improvement. I got my gig when the price was $75 apeace for the 512s now i think it is down to around $100 now from near $200 a few months ago. I would not recommend running OS X with less than 512 megs of ram or at least a min of 256 or 384. But 512 or over is the best. I have not used OS 9.2.2 on the powerbook 2000 in umm i think 2 or 3 months and just booted into my desktop in 9.2.2 to run techtools (reminds me i should do that on my powerbook and then try Drive 10.1 which should be here soon to try the new optimizer that is built in). Over all i am happy with OS X 10.1 As for the DVD rom drive mine died after warenty ran out but got it replaced in year extention i got after it expired from macmall and they replaced the DVD with no questions asked. Since i got the replacement DVD drive i only used it once to test it to see if it worked and one other time atm it sits stored away to sell with the computer if i decide to upgrade in a y ear or so. Currently use a Bootable CD RW drive as my main drive since i use it for trasfuring files from one puter to the other (use my powerbook at work to download large software files for upgrades 1 times faster than modem and just write to CD RW mini (mini CDRW - fits in the inside try). I am lookin forward to 10.2 on it even if i do not get the excelleration but i do not need it on the powerbook since i mainly use my dual 500 G4 for Photoshop 7 and other stuff. When Drive 10.1.1 comes i will let u all know how it works in OS X if you all want to know - interested in seein the expanded features :o) I dropped using Nortons all together except anti virus and firewall.

Re: OS 10.2 and beyond...
During my break in moving, Remy Davison said: There's even MPEG-2 decoding in OS X MPEG-2 decoding in OS X (and various versions of Apple's DVD player on Pismo and later) is in software, not hardware. Apple added DVD player in OS X 10.0.3 or something (?). In OS 9, QT provides a software MPEG-1 decoder. but you need to buy the MPEG-2 decoder ($20). No, you've misconstrued that. It's not a player. It's a QuickTime add-on. Actually, it's a 'codec.' it gives QuickTime Player two new functionalities -- both encoding and decoding MPEG-2 in software. What does this mean, exactly? It means QuickTime Player can now play MPEG-2 streams as well as create them. codec is a contraction of COmpress, DECompress. Calling Apple's DVD Player software decoding is slightly misleading. the MPEG-2 decoding is still done in hardware on the graphics card. The part that has been off-loaded into software is decrypting the CSS copy protection. Note that if you replace a G4's graphics card with an inappropriate card, you get a message in DVD Player about the required hardware could not be found. As long as you install a card with MPEG-2 Support and Mac drivers, DVD Player (generally) continues to work. I watch MPEG-1 movies in OS X all the time. I don't have any VCDs, so I couldn't comment on that. But MPEG-1 is definitely there. (FWIW, MP3 is really MPEG-1 Layer 3). Most of my anime library is in MPEG-1. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Pismo doesn't see FireWire QPS Que!

This morning the drive didn't even appear in the ASP. It DOES, however, work just fine with a friends TiBook (same cables and all that) but no response from the Pismo... Is that the FW ports gone? Multiple plug permutations and re-plugging-in and things have no effect, nor does the shut-down/start-up fix-all solution from Apple.

No. I have the same Powerbook, DVDs play very well on it. I think that you would benefit from 512MB of RAM. I say this because, adding up the reserved memory in use when I have a number of things going, I do exceed 256MB, and you don't want to be swapping to virtual memory. I've never seen swapping with 512MB (I don't however run Photoshop or other large graphics/modeling apps); and I've heard of battery module swapping and battery uptime issues with a full 1GB of memory. If you haven't invested in OS X now, I certainly suggest waiting for 10.2 before doing so; not much point in going to 10.1.5 now. I use this Pismo *in preference to* a G4 Powerbook, due to the convenience of swappable modules (10GB drives and dual batteries, mostly). While I'm not saying it's as fast as a G4 800MHz, that should give you an idea of how satisfied I am with OS X performance on a Pismo (I never run 9.2 or Classic, can't report on that).

Re: Pismo problems
Hi. I wonder if anyone else has this problem. I have a 500 MHz Firewire G3 Powerbook, with the hard drive partitioned, and I usually boot on the partition (PB X) that has Mac OS X 10.1.5 installed. For several weeks now, I have had the following problems from time to time. First, sometimes a white rectangle appears in the middle of the desktop. It is like a warning window, with the text missing, that overlies everything else and can't be dismissed. About the size of the warning window that sometimes tells me that the battery is running low, but the battery can have plenty of juice when it appears. Second, Word freezes, I can't move or close documents, and I can't quit Word (Quit Word in the File menu is greyed out). Perhaps these problems are separate. I don't know. I have had both today. If I restarton PB X and do 'sbin/fsck -y' at start-up, it usually says 'PB X is OK'. If I boot on the partition(PB A) with only Mac OS 9.2.2 and run Disk First Aid, it is happy. If I run DiskWarrior to look at PB X, it sometimes tells me that the boot blocks are damaged. I let it repair the boot blocks, and things are OK again for 4-5 days. Does anyone know what is going on? What should I be doing? Do I need to reformat my hard drive or could it be a software problem? Mike -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

All right we've either got a major cross-communication here or we re talking about different threads ;-) That's what I was *trying* to do. Have:G4 Tower, OS 9.1 TiBook OSX 10.1.5 Turned USB printer sharing on on the tower, went to TiBook, couldn't find the printer. I can see and mount the shared drive on the tower from the TiBook, so there's not a problem seeing shared resources, just the shared USB printer. I tried Go To Server and Print Center and couldn't find the printer anywhere. I believe (since I've never gotten it running to see) you need to run the USB printer sharing control panel to see shared USB printers to use, since there's a network pane in there. That said, we found a $25 USB switch which they're going to get which should solve the problem forthwith.

Update on printing wirelessly to LaserSelect 360 using Asante Products ...
Partial Update/partially solved ... in short the original post was that I couldn't find my Laserwriter Select 360 over an Ethernet setup using OS 10.1.4 on a Titanium 667 Powerbook. Never was able to get this to work wirelessly or even wired via ethernet (under OS X 10.1.5) ... Appletalk is selected and appears to be running, but when I try to select my printer it always gives me a message that Appletalk isn't active. I worked with Apple for quite a while on this ... updating to 10.1.5 and running various other software updaters as well. Also, worked with the support people at Asante (Al is great there) updating the firmware on the router ... this really had us going for a while as my internet provider disconnected my account (Mediacom) and when we finally determined that I was connecting and then getting cut off after just a few seconds, Al said you'd better talk to your cable internet provider. They couldn't answer why I was cut off as I have only been with them 3 weeks and haven't even received my fist bill. I think when I was connected originally, everything was set up to work, but not all i's t's were taken care of so they booted me off. Wireless connection is working fine under OS X, but can't print wirelessly. In the end Apple stated that I should nuke and reinstall ... which I'm not wanting to do at this time. I was successful in getting to print via ethernet under 9.2.2 so that will have to work for now. I'm in hopes that Jaguar OS X 10.2 will take care of this Appletalk problem.

Re: HD and Enclosure questions
Plus you'll need to buy a laptop/desktop drive converter so the 2.5 inch drive can get power through it's 44-pin connector. -- JSH From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (G-Books) Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2002 13:21:29 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (G-Books) Subject: G-Books Digest #762 Now, Can I buy a 3.5 inch disk to put into my pbG3 and put my 6 gig in this enclosure and not have lots of wires and parts left over? Well you'll have a large unsightly hole in your keyboard where you were forced to carve away half of it, half of your processor card and a goodly portion of the disk module on the right hand side of the PB where you force-fit the 3.5 drive into the 2.5 space in your PB ;-P Short answer: NO. You would need to buy a 2.5 internal HDD. IBM TRavelstar 2.5 IDE drives are going for around $120-$130 IIRC. You would plunk that into your PB for an instant upgrade. The 3.5 case will hold your old 2.5 drive, but you'll need to buy a 2.5 - 3.5 adapter from an electronics shop...a local one here sells it for $6.95. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OS 10.2 and beyond...
Just want to add my voice to the more RAM chorus. I went from 256 to 1 gig and noticed a nice difference. I did that after one of the RAM monitors showed I was using more than 300 meg and was paging out to virtual memory regularly. I'd also add that a 5400 rpm drive made a small but noticeable difference. I went from the stock 12 gig unit to a 32 gig IBM, but I'm sure those new IBMs with the huge RAM cache are even better. I spread the two upgrades about 6 months apart, so just when I'd gotten used to the RAM, I got the HD boost. Hoping 10.2 is my next boost.

The major name brands cost more, often twice as much as the off brand. Lots of people have no problems with the cheaper off brands. Some folks have had problems that required replacements. But I'm sure it's happened with name brands as well, though probably not as often. Name brands often have a lifetime warranty. Off brands may or may not. Then it's up to the dealer for warranty policy (if any). You're best bet is to buy from a well-known and well-respected dealer that knows how to take care of its Mac customers. Even if you don't buy the more expensive name brand RAM, good dealers will provide good warranties. -- Eugene Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
