Re: external drive to use with Pismo
For $200 I would consider buying an external case for about $65-75 [making sure its an Oxford 911 chipset based case] and spend the rest on a drive, with $125 you can get at least 80GB, depending on how much you shop around and what brands you prefer you might get a 100GB or so. If you do go with this one it looks fine just make sure it is Oxford 911 based.

Re: external drive to use with Pismo
I was under the impression that the PowerBook Firewire ports were limited on speed, compared to the desktop Mac's, so you couldn't really take advantage of the full potential of an external Firewire drive.

Re: external drive to use with Pismo
I realize that even with the slow down the external Firewire is faster than the internal 4200 rpm laptop drive, but there is also a big difference in speed when I use my external Firewire drive with my G4/933 and my Pismo 400. I was just stating that the external Firewire drive will be slower on a Powerbook than on a desktop running at the same speed, because of the Firewire ports on the Powerbook..

If you want to enable other machines to get at files on your machine, you will need to install and/or enable Samba. It's the windows compatible file sharing stuff for Unix and OS/X. If you want to be able to connect to other windows machines to get at files on them, hit command K at the finder and you should be able to browse the network, or put in a url that looks like: smb://MACHINE Where MACHINE is either the netbios/dns name/ip address of the machine you want to connect to. I do this all the time on my G4 here at home, as well as my Lombard. Hope this helps. Steve Fuller -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Also, on a Windows machine, you have to look up in the Network Neighborhood for a workgroup named 'Workgroup'. I believe that this is a missing feature in the Windows sharing: you can't name the workgroup that your Mac will broadcast itself on the Windows network.
