If you are talking about console access over a serial link, then you need a serial port, and probably a dedicated term program like ZTERM would be easier than getting connectivity from Terminal.

Re: OSX Speed increase with more RAM?
Yes, it will. UNIX OSes love RAM, a lot, and their performance is directly tied to it, more so than other OSes. Mac OS 9 would plateau after a while but Mac OS X continues to improve the more RAM installed. I have 768MB in my Pismo 400 up from 320 a week ago, very noticeable. Mac OS X is great at paging to the hard drive [it always does it] so you will increase application reaction greatly with more RAM, also it will drop the amount of time your hard drive spins as it will page it less often.

Re: OSX Speed increase with more RAM?
Another consideration is the backup power. With 512MB, the Pismo has enough backup battery to allow you to swap batteries with the machine asleep. With 1Gb, it apparently doesn't; you have to shut down or have AC support. I don't know about 768MB. This part I don't get. Can you explain? Powering the RAM does not take much energy.

Re: wiping hard drive clean
Various listas wrote: Select the option to zero the drive. That not only releases the directory entries, but writes zeroes to the entire data portion of the disk. I thought I read somewhere that this option was not well supported with IDE drives, so that may work or not. The best thing to do would be to write all over the drive, erasing whatever is on the disk. I have no idea on how to do that, however. There might be some utilities that would do that, but I don't know any. Still, try to zero the drive and see what happens. According to Dan's Drive Maintenance (http://www.delta.edu/dgschmid/drive.html) I suggest doing a low-level format if you have a SCSI drive _or_ zero the blocks if you have an IDE drive. (IDE drives can't be low level formatted... older versions of Disk First aid looked like they would do this, but would actually only erase all the blocks twice!). I don't know of any consumer-available utility that will actually low-level-format an IDE drive (I've read somewhere in another thread that that's done only in the factory), though I haven't looked hard. Seems like the zeroing option is the best we end users have, and it's not bad. Or a Radio Shack bulk tape eraser (which has sometimes enabled me to resurrect a misbehaving floppy disk), but I suspect it may damage some other components in a hard drive, so I've never tried it.

Re: iBook500 fax ??
Ralph, Apple identifies it as a 56k V.90 modem. If you're running OS X you basically have two choices of fax software: FaxSTF and Cocoa e-fax I have seen a lot of bitter complaints about FaxSTF, although it may have improved in recent versions. Cocoa e-fax has a lot of fans although it is a much more basic program. Cocoa e-fax works fine for me. FaxSTF is much more expensive. http://www.macadvocacy.com/cocoaefax.htm You should have gotten an OS 9 version of FaxSTF with your iBook. In my experience FaxSTF works fine in OS 9. I hope this helps.

Re: wiping hard drive clean
On 11/19/02 12:27 PM, Dan K [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the Cybertrough: Ah, but Obi-Wan Kyle, what does it take to actually retrieve 'real' data from a zeroed-once (or twice or thrice) drive? Is there a practical way to do it without going through a pretty serious HW recovery effort? I assumed the OP merely needs to ensure the IBM refurb factory or a later user of said HD won't stumble upon some corporate secrets (or whatever.) What I recommend to clients that have security issues is to use Magneto Optical or CD/DVD drives to save the really sensitive info. And then burn the media when they are done with it. I have a client that works at Lawrence Livermore Lab here in the Bay Area. That is how he handles his data. That way it is portable and destroyable. There are several consumer level disk recovery utilities on the market that will do 100x what...say Norton Unerase is capable of. What Shawn King pointed out is true as well. Drive Savers (also local to me) will recover any drive for between $800-3000 or so. They have capabilities that I wish I had sometimes. They can resurrect data from machines that have been submerged, or caught on fire. All I am saying is that there is no real safe way to be sure that your data is 100% unrecoverable, which is what the person was asking. That's all. -- == Kyle H.

Re: apple support (prev. messages)
Justin, If you're still in your 1-year warranty period, and intend to eventually buy AppleCare, then by all means DO buy the AppleCare AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Because, your original warranty gives you only 90 days of phone support, and a year of hardware coverage. Buying AppleCare not only extends the hardware support by 2 years, but also catches up on the phone support. Apple might promise a refund of your phone support payment if you later buy AppleCare, but why go through the rigamarole? Secondly, I agree with Jim Freeman who points out that you get a rather significant discount on AppleCare if you buy it from SmallDog. You needn't have bought your Mac from them to buy the AppleCare, either. Just be sure you get it bought and registered before the end of your first year. Finally... I reiterate my appreciation for AppleCare. I spent an hour and a half with them solving a perplexing Jaguar blue screen of death problem on last Sunday afternoon. They're fantastic. I contrast that experience with my attempts to get the simplest information from the Dell website, and I'm glad I stuck with Apple. --Jim.

Re - Airport alternatives.
I have a non Appletalk unit I bought from the manufacturer (Pheecom) here in Taiwan, which works well as internet router. However I need the Appletalk so will change soon. I notice SMC Barricade is $80 with rebate (yanks only, dammit) at tiger direct. SMC claims an amazing 1155 ft range, (albeit at lower data rate) vs others 100 foot range, so I might buy it here at about $115 equivalent. Anybody have good / bad experience with this unit?

Re: Was on topic, before!
Thanks for your suggestion Mark, I will do this. Probably an 80 G. Q.Can an ATA 100 drive can work in the iMac? (Rev A) Or what standard should I get? What brand of drives are recommended? Thanks and regards, Stuart. The standards are backwards compatible, meaning that an ATA-100 drive will work on an ATA-66 controller, just at ATA-66 speeds. The only thing to watch out for is the drive size. ATA-66 controllers won't address drives larger than 137GB, even if they're partitioned. Stick with a 120GB or smaller, and you're all set. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Western Digital Caviar series (the special edition drives with the 8mb cache). They're fast 7200rpm drives and very quiet. I have one in a G4 Cube and love it. If you want the ultimate in silence, check out the Seagate Baracuda (IV series, I think). They've got fluid filled bearings and are fast and almost silent. I've heard they run a little warmer than the WD tho... Hope that helps. -Hal -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
