The problem is likely either the battery or the charging circuitry in the computer. I 
suggest that you see if the battery will charge in the other battery bay. Also, try 
the battery in another computer and try a known good battery in your computer. This 
should help you isolate the fault.

Travelstar 40 gnx

[Ross Cottrell]

  I posted this to Apple's forums today:

I just put a Travelstar 40 gnx in my 300 mhz 'book.  Installed 
Jaguar.1 and OS 9.1 without incident.
Put the replaced 20 gb Hitachi in an OWC Firewire Express enclosure. 
I have a Newer Firewire to go pc card that has always worked.

The FW drive only mounts in OS 9.1.  It does not mount OS X.2.1.

When I try to boot into X with the FW drive connected, X hangs while 
"waiting for local drives". If I unplug the drive, X finishes booting.

If I try to connect the FW drive after X is booted, I get an error: 
"You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can 
read. To use the unreadable volumes, click Initialize. To continue 
with the disk inserted, click Ignore." I've been ignoring it.

I should mention that I can import DV into iMovie X without problem. 
So the Firewire card works in X.
I've been able to read and write to the FW drive when booted into 9, 
so the FW drive definitely works. I installed the latest firmware 
from OWC too.

Any ideas anyone?  Should I wipe the drive and start over?  (I posted 
a version of this issue here about a week ago.)

Thanks,

Ross Cottrell

Airport Rookie

[Byron Gardner]

Got two Wallstreets setup with wireless cards in each (Lucent Orinoco 
Gold and a SMC). When I start an internet connection on one (dial up to 
the Airport) and booted up the second PB I found it to be connected as 
well. That was weird.

How do I prevent that? (follow me on this?)

Another issue while I have your attention.

I tried to turn on WEP security on the Airport. I locked myself out of 
both PB's. I am using WirelessDriver on both. Some cards are supported 
using WEP and some are not. If mine are...how do  set up WEP security?

Point me to some resources if you know of any...I need some information 
on Airport and how to set it up. Painfully lacking...

Thanks Everyone...

Compiling is hardware specific, but a program that is correctly written to a

processor.

Here's where things depart. User software can generally be recompiled easily from 
platform to platform provide the APIs are the same. However the operating system by 
necessity must know about the details of the processor and hardware. Usually there are 
differences in the hardware between different computers, and specific programming must 
be dome to address this issue.

Different CPUs have use different methods to control how they access memory for 
example. There are very significant differences in how a Pentium III accesses memory 
compare to a G4. There are even differences between the G4 and G3, and the new G3 from 
IBM, however these are minor compared to the difference between the Pentium and the 
PowerPC. It is up to the operating system to handle these differences so that when a 
program needs memory it is given it. The user program does not have to concern itself 
with the differences - it asks for memory the same way on a PowerPC as on a Pentium.

The operating system designer must write code that knows all about the operating 
systems details, and this code cannot be moved to other processors without 
modification.

Re: Can't Download iCal

Check your preferences to see where your download is going to (in your

You can always check under 'download manager' in IE to see if something is
really dl'ing or not. And following that you can double click any item in
the downloaded list and check out its location ("reveal in finder")

Good luck

I was surprised to read that an older drive like this was so fast, as 
I had the impression 5400 RPM drives had only appeared in the last 
year or less. So I looked it up on the Travelstar page
(http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/support/table.htm#Travelstar)
and indeed there it is, an anomaly in both size (other drives of the 
era were in whole 10's) and speed. Appears to have been a 
"supercharged" version of the DARA series (6, 12, 18GB) that were 
used in late Lombard and Pismo PBs. Good drives, but LOUD.

As for Wegener Media's GREAT DEAL on this drive ... if you're going 
to spend $100, I'd suggest getting a new, quiet (if perhaps not 
entirely silent) 40GNX 20GB 5400RPM drive from Googlegear for the 
same price:

http://www.googlegear.com/jsp/ProductList.jsp?ThirdCategoryCode=011006

Two weeks ago when I bought mine it was $101; now it's down to $98. 
Or you can get the previous 40GN 20GB model for $90; it's slower at 
4200RPM, but may be quieter: my 40GN bought a year ago is silent 
(except when reading/writing, when it clicks unobtrusively), while 
the 40GNX just purchased makes a slight noise. I plan to write to IBM 
to ask if the latter is within spec; it seems odd that a newer fluid 
dynamic bearing drive would be louder than one a year old.

Anyway, so far as I'm concerned, any pre-FDB drive is too noisy to 
live with. It seems that noise was just not an issue in drive design 
until 2001; the 12GB Travelstar that came stock in my Pismo makes a 
terrible whine.

Maybe the sound output in the Sound control panel isn't being updated to

iBook 300 mhz - HD upgrade?

[InkSlinger]

Hello Everyone,
I'm new here but not to the lists.

I purchased an iBook for a sweet deal. Besides the RAM [did that
already] what can be upgraded?

What peripherals for backup are suggested? I needed something for
copying small files. Then I'll transfer those files to a CD-R later. I
just purchased a Keyspan 4-port USB mini-hub. Sound? etc.

Has anyone ever used a hard cover briefcase to tote their iBook? I want
to get a small UPS for traveling. I have one on the rest of my computers
and wouldn't chance it without one for my iBook.

I've always wanted a laptop because I write and needed something
portable. So this is my first laptop. Extremely pleased with it so far.

Thanks!

I just had a similar experience on my PB 800 yesterday (while using 
it as a desktop with external monitor). Plugged in the speakers - 
didn't use an application requiring sound for a couple of hours. When 
I tried to play sound from my video editing application - nothing. 
Unplugged speakers, restarted editing program - sound OK from

I have a 20 gig of this drive on the way (The 8 meg buffer model) and 
I'll let the list know how things go. BTW, is there any web site that 
shows where the reed switch is on the Wallstreet's so that I can avoid 
the whole 'sleeping' issue from the get-go.

I'll also be adding more memory and I'll see if my machine sees it. 
They will be both the same speed which near as I can tell should work 
even is it's undocumented that you can add more than 192megs.

On a side note, since the next thing I'll be getting is a wireless 
card, has anyone seen an Airpost compatable PCMCIA card that ALSO 
supports Bluetooth at the same time?

This is the main problem: where the signal comes into the printer 
doesn't matter,  because the Mac driver ONLY looks at the serial port 
for the printer..it won't look on the network, because no matter which 
port on the printer is being used, the signal started on the ethernet 
side.

You need to a) find 3rd party network drivers for that printer, or b) 
find a printer with network drivers. (Some epson inkjets, and any 
printer that works with Laserwriter drivers, meaning Postscript 
printers)

Well, that was an oversimplification.   Unix (or some unix-ish variant) 
pretty much *does* run on any kind of computer (capable of running it, 
that is.)

While GNU's Not Unix in it's famous recursion, a better definition s 
GNU's not a proprietary Unix. For all intents and purposes Linux, BSD 
(which is the basis for Darwin, and stands for Berkeley Standard 
Distribution, one of the earliest available Unix variants), Darwin, 
Xenix, etc etc are, in fact all some form or another of the OS called 
Unix.

In the Beginning, Kernigan and Ritchie envisioned a universal operating 
system, and LO it was good.  They worked in an era where pretty much 
every single brand of computer (or model, in fact) was radically 
different. They aimed for a Single OS to work on all of them.

It was ported to all manner of hardware, but it was a simple OS, with 
few bells and whistles, but it worked. A program could be run on a new 
machine simply by recompiling it.

Then  AT&T DID allow Berkeley to tinker with 
the Source Code and thus the first Great Schism was born: BSD vs 
SystemV.  Unix started to diverge from itself.

You had SystemV programs or BSD programs, SystemV commands which were 
identically named, yet confusingly different from BSD commands (both 
had the command 'ps' each had *different* parameters.)

  Fast forward through a lot of Old-testamentish begatting and burning 
of kith and kine, and you end up with todays situation, where every 
supplier of Unix in history has modified it slightly and tweaked it 
here and there, (or done horrible Frankensteinian experiments on it 
like HP's HP/UX which was a weird cobbled together thing made from bits 
of HP's dead System V version, and Apollo's graverobbed BSD version. 
Shudder. I HATE HP/UX!).

Along the line, the original vision of a simple OS portable to all 
manner of systems, yet running the same on each has gone pretty much by 
the wayside.

The main strains today are not BSD vs System V, but Linux vs BSD (also 
vs Linux vs Linux vs Linux...etc).

We used to have a sign above our server 'rack' (back then, just a table 
with 5 or 6 machines on it) that said 'You are in a maze of twisty 
little Unices, all slightly different' ;-)

For simple programs; command-line things that don't make reference to a 
huge number of different libraries, or include all of their C-code 
themselves, and don't use *any* libs, the promise of 'Run everywhere' 
does hold true, still.

  It's just that things like GUI interfaces, high-level API's and such 
simply don't hold to the standard 'recompile and run everywhere' 
philosophy that guided the origins of Unix. (K&R  simply wanted to 
retain a stable development environment amongst all the hand-me-down 
systems that  they were scrounging.) They are complex pieces of 
programming, and absent a universally accepted standard, don't 
interoperate all that well.

Java comes closer to that ideal than Unix now, but even it isn't 
perfect.
