That sounds good, but for those that are speeding up their cache, how would

If you install the cache software from Powerlogix, you can adjust the 
cache settings. They have an OS9 version and an OSX version. If you try 
to run it too fast, it'll crash or lock-up and when you reboot, it'll 
be reset to the default speed.

They're identical. On the cards that were originally 500, you can run 
your cache at 200, possibly 250. On a card that was a 400, you can run 
at 166, possibly at 200, but probably not at 250.

Other than the cache chips rated speed  and the G3 chip speed, they're 
identical.

Difference Between Pismo 400 & 500?

2003-01-13 Thread Stephen Bright 
Is the only difference between the Pismo 400 and 500 in the processor card?

I'm asking because I recently took my Pismo 400 in to Powerlogix for the
G4/500 upgrade. They ran late on the install, because some of the RAM pins
were not functioning properly, so they eventually gave up on it and
installed the upgrade on a 500 MHz processor card, at no additional cost to
me. This lets me run the cache speed at 200 MHz as opposed to 166
recommended for the 400. Is there any other architecture difference between
the 400 and 500 that anyone is aware of?

Thanks.

The Pro Speakers require a Pro Speaker jack, which is a 2.5mm digital 
audio out jack rather than the standard 3.5mm analog audio out jack 
found on the iBook and on almost all small speakers and headphones. I 
don't know if there's a converter, possibly through USB, to get you

Well, with a mere 192 meg of ram under 9.2.2, you might be able to run more
than a couple of programs at a time. :-) What you can do, is turn on VM but
only 1 meg over the 192 megs, namely 193. This turns on the memory mapping
features, so that the system and apps consume less memory. It will be a bit
faster than turning on a lot of VM, and will give you the possibility of
running more applications. I found that when I had only 192 megs of ram, I
had to turn on VM just to run the apps I need.

FYI, when seen over a network, it doesn't matte whether the shared drive is
HFS or HFS+. So System 7.x.x can see the shared drive no matter how it was
formatted.

Also, don't forget that the 500 series of PowerBooks have ethernet built in
so you can network via LocalTalk or ethernet. However you will need an AAUI
to RJ45 transceiver for the 500 series plus you will need to use a crossover
cable. Of course the benefit of ethernet would be speed, allowing the quick
transfer of large files, so I suppose LocalTalk will easily suffice in
transferring just the jigsaw puzzle.

Just out of curiosity, where did you find a PowerBook-to-PowerBook SCSI disk
mode cable? I assume this would be a cable with the small square connector
at either end with one end being 29-pin and 30-pin at the other.

As I recall, the 29 pin cable plugged into a PowerBook puts it into SCSI
disk mode, while the 30-pin cable allow the connection of external drives
and devices.

One other note regarding the connection of SCSI devices to a PowerBook. In
older models there were often termination problems. Perhaps this is the
problem with 520 being unable to see an external drive. I've found that
connecting a pass-through terminator to the PowerBook SCSI disk cable will
resolve a lot of the termination issues. You will probably need another
terminator at the end of the chain too.

For example; if you're connecting just an external hard drive, you will need
a terminator connected to one SCSI port on the drive, and a pass-through
terminator on the other port. Then you connect the PowerBooks SCSI cable to
the pass-through connector. It's a lot of hoops to jump through, but it has
usually worked for me in the past.

Actually, whether the drive is formatted with HFS or HFS+ is irrelevant 
to SCSI disk mode, as is the OS on either system. SCSI Disk Mode is 
built into the ROM of some powerbooks, so if it doesn't work, it's a 
problem with the SCSI port on the slave P'book, the cable in the middle 
or the scsi port on the host P'book.

Actually, holding down the "T" key puts a PowerBook into "target disk" mode
when connected to another Mac via FireWire. Essentially turning the
PowerBook into an external hard drive.

What you need to do is hold down the option key when booting up. This will
present you with a choice of volumes to boot from (internal and external I
believe).

-Mark

PS. Your time is off on your Mac.

Re: selecting hardrive keys

2003-01-13 Thread David M. Ensteness 
Holding down the T key puts a G4 in FireWire Target Disk mode where the 
G4 will act as a hard drive for another Mac. Hold down the option key 
and if there is a valid and bootable system folder on your external FW 
drive then it will be listed there, just select it and hit the continue 
arrow.

Go here and download this utility. It's free too..

GSDirector is a way to take the postscript output from any Mac and convert
it to a usable format for PC printers. GS is a utility that watches a
specified folder on the PC for PS files. It then converts them and prints
them in the background. You will set up your printer on the Mac to print to
this folder over Appletalk using PCMACLAN or via OSX where PCMACLAN is not
needed. Works great for me in both OS9 & OSX.

Connecting to a Printer in a PC Network

2003-01-13 Thread Tan Guan Beng 
I could not find help on this subject on the Apple's knowledge base.

My Wall Street running OS 10.2.3 is connected to a PC Network - 2 PCs running Windows 
XP.  I want to know how to print from my Mac to a printer which is connected to one of 
the PCs?

Thanks in advance
GB
