Thank you Roger and Laurent.  I did find files like that prior to 
sending the original note, but didn't know which was my target 
(though trial and error would have found it sooner or later).

Strangely enough, my reason for using Entourage disappeared when my 
wife figured out her mistake (on the machine on which I had loaded 
the Japanese OSX for her) -- she had mis-written her friend's email 
address.  I couldn't figure out why OSX's Mail wasn't sending out her 
email (after a couple hours of messing around, dl'ing Eudora [which I 
forgot does NOT do unicode], etc.), while she translated the error 
messages as best she could.  Some of those translations were 
priceless!  :)

Additionally, Entourage magically decided to start working, 
independent of any monkey business on my part, JUST in time for me to 
not have to use it after all!  WHew!
Thanks again.

LOL That was our booth but I was rarely in it. Do you remember the big black
curtain near our booth? It "hid" a thousand seat stage. I was there every
afternoon, doing a show.

When I wasn't there, I was running around the show floor like a maniac.

People who actually work the Expo can't be trapped in booths too long.

I kinda of remember that under 9, when using some kind of dialer program,
you would be able to debug the connection. I don't know which PPP program
dialer you use, but you might want to look for that.

Also, if your modem is dialing out and establishes the connection, then it
seems it's working. You could try to send a fax to a known location to see
if the fax gets true. But if the negotiation of the connection cannot be
established after the modem dialed out, then it's most likely a
configuration problem, or a modem initialization problem.

Missing G-Books Digests

[Dan Knight]

We've had some long-term outages with the lemlist mail server, and I've 
missed a boatload of digests from the various lists.

If anyone on the list can redirect (a feature some email programs have 
and others don't -- it's different from forwarding) copies of the 
following digests to me, I'd really appreciate it.

G-Books Digest #1026 to #1035
G-Books Digest #1037 to #1042

No, if serial port monitor was the problem then my palm WOULD sync 
but the printer WOULD NOT work.  NEITHER worked for me.

In fact, I do not have Palm's serial port monitor activating at 
startup.  I activate it when necessary with HotSyncCSM - I love it!!! 
I don't know how I found it, because it's not on versiontracker, and 
a quick google search only turned up Japanese pages, but the CSM 
still works great:

The problem with my inability to sync or print with OT enabled was, 
as you probably saw in my earlier post, that appletalk, though set to 
ethernet, was hogging the printer/modem port.

"Serial port not recognized" on Wallstreet

[Steven Schwartz]

I have a Wallstreet, upgraded with Sonnet's 500MHz G4 card, 512 RAM, 
running OS 10.2.3. Whenever we start up, I get an error message that 
says, "serial port not recognized". The problem is that this is the 
port thru which I connect my Palm cradle.
Any ideas?

TRUE.  Take your yo-yo in to RadioShack with you because the 
salespeople there won't have a clue.  Just look for a power cord that 
fits.  It won't have the "pancake" shape that the Apple cord had, so 
your yo-yo won't lie flat anymore, but it will work.  I keep one at 
home and one at the office.

Laurent,

Nope.  Firewire is not involved here.  However, the PCMCIA interface 
has also been used by the "Kanguru" external drives, among others.  The 
device shipped with a (floppy) disk of drivers for WinNT, 95, and DOS, 
but no drivers were needed for Macintosh.

I've also just tested the drive on a Powerbook 3400 under OS 8.6, and 
it works fine there.

It begins to sound like drivers are not built-in to Jaguar, and I guess 
this is such a niche market that there never will be any.  Alas.

Re: External drive not showing up on Pismo

Glad to hear that a simple OS 9.1 update corrected your problem. Wish all
problems were that simple to rectify.

In my case, I have two external FireWire cases (they're identical but one
has an 18MB IBM Travelstar and the other, a 10GB Toshiba) that I've used
with my iBook, G4 at home and my G4 at work. About half the time they fail
to mount on all three machines. The G4s are running OS9.x and the iBook runs
Jaguar so it doesn't seem to matter what OS or machine it is. In every case
though, if I switch the drives off and then back on, they will ALWAYS mount.
After that, everything functions normally.

I suspect that the problem is the chipset used for the bridge. I've heard
that the most reliable is the Oxford 911. I know the cases I use are not
sporting the Oxford chipset. Plus they are dual purpose (FireWire & USB
1.1). Again, they always mount and function normally, but at least half the
time I have to switch the drives off and back on.

Initially when I started having this problem, I would run the Apple drive
utility to mount them, but they would never show up. Out of frustration I
would switch them on and off which is how I discovered my workaround. Now I
just put up with the switching off/on routine.

When I plug the PC-Card into my Pismo, I *do* get a little PCMCIA 
icon/menu in my menu-bar, to the right of the "help" menu and to the 
left of the battery indicator.  This "menu" lists three entries, 
"Shining" (greyed out), "PMIDE-ASC" (greyed out), and "Power off Card" 
which does exactly what you might think it would.

The Apple System Profiler does show that there is a PC-Card present; 
type=cardbus; model=TXN,PCI1211-00; vendor ID=104c; device ID=ac1e.

Thanks for any and all help/suggestions!

Is your PCMCIA card a FireWire card? If not, then this is somekind of
proprietary interface which doesn't have a driver for in OS X. Do you
remember installing anything under 9 with it? Even if you say no, that would
probably be not conclusive, since there is much better PCMCIA support in 9
then there is in X. The only PCMCIA I've seen working in X were USB and

PCMCIA volume not Recognized on Pismo

[Jim]

Dear Listreaders,

I've got a puzzle.  I've owned and enjoyed the model MacAlly CA-250MA 
2.5" hard drive enclosure, which under MacOS 8.6 gave me full 
bootability with my Powerbook 1400.  (This device is an external 
housing into which one puts a standard 2.5" IDE hard drive. The housing 
has a cable attached to a PCMCIA card that, when plugged into the 
PC-Card slot on the laptop, allows the external disk to show up on the 
desktop just like an internal or firewire volume.  It offers very fast 
data transfer rates, and is bus powered--though an external power 
supply is provided if necessary.)

When I migrated to a G3 Powerbook 2000 "firewire", and Mac OS 9.2, I 
found that I was no longer able to boot from the PCMCIA drive, as such 
bootability evidently is not supported on this model powerbook.  But at 
least I still had a handy portable drive.  However, I have recently 
upgraded this Powerbook G3 2000 "firewire" (Pismo) to Mac OS X "Jaguar 
10.2.3" and find that the PCMCIA drive is no longer recognized as a 
volume!  (If I startup again in OS 9, the drive works fine).  The "Disk 
Utility" program does not find the PC-Card disk, either.

Can anyone explain why Jaguar refuses to acknowledge or access my nice 
PCMCIA-linked hard drive?  And even better, can anyone suggest a fix?

I did inquire with MacAlly, but got an unhelpful response about zapping 
PRAM.

Cheers,
--Jim.

I'm biased (Griffin sponsors my show) but I like the iCurve for what it is -
a way to raise your screen off the desk for a better viewing angle. It also
looks *really* good.

I don't like the fact that it's not particularity portable - you can't take

It shouldn't. The two technologies can co-exist. They are meant for
different purposes.

Hard Drives, among others.

I remember when I had a Wallstreet, it often seemed that when disconnected
it from ethernet, it would default back to the serial/printer port. That
always irritated me! That's why your problem sounded so familiar. I pretty
sure this went away on later PowerBooks.

As a mater of fact, I think this same problem occurred on the early Quadras
and PowerMacs (pre-PCI) as well. If they didn't sense an ethernet connection
at startup (or wake up) they would always default to the serial port. It
wasn't that big a deal deal on the desktop machines as you could plug
non-AppleTalk printers into the modem port (as long as you didn't need a
modem of course).

This was all pre OSX for me, but since it still seems to happen for you, it
sounds like it's a hardware issue.

Perhaps you should create two locations. One for when you're connected to
ethernet and AppleTalk is enabled. And a location with AppleTalk disabled
when you're not on a network. It would save you having to open the network
preferences every time it gave you problems.

Re: how do i add ram to a kanga G3?

[vicki duggan]

Hi to replace ram in the Kanga you need to undo the 3 retaining screw's on
the base. Then lift the Keyboard off from the touch pad side first, it will
slide forward a couple of mils then out. Be very carefull not to slit the
keyboard cable. The ram card is on the left as you look into the mac and
should look like the one you are putting in only with less chips.

Be careful when you insert the ram card and make sure that it is seated
properly? once seated the best thing to do is start the mac without securing
the keyboard first just put it in place, if the mac boots then you did it
right. Then you can shut down and secure the screws .

You should need a torx 8 suze screwdriver for the job.

If you need any help mail me off list I will be glad to walk through it
again.

Victoria.

Wall-to-YoYo power cord?

[kahuna2]

Regarding the Pismo's YoYo power adapter, I think someone once mentioned you
could get a power cord (the cord from the wall to the yoyo) from Radio
Shack. True? If not, where can I get one, and what's the approx. cost either
way?

Thanks -

If I'm not mistaken the Kanga was a bastardized descendant of the 3400 
except with a new(ish) motherboard and a G3 processor.  I'm not sure 
about what TYPE of chip it took but the instructions for the 3400 
*should* apply here.

A quick Google search (keywords:  powerbook 3400 manual) turned up this 
site:

http://www.n-synch.com/manuals/apple/pb3400.htm

Which seems to help somewhat.  I'm sure there are better links.  Good

Unfortunately, I don't. Don't force your keyboard. My memory might be
playing tricks and it might not by removing the keyboard that you can have
access to the motherboard. It's been too long since I had it. You might want

Lorri-

Not to break in here, but how do you get sharing to work? 
I've got a G4 running Jaguar with an HP Deskjet, and my Wallstreet PB 
running 9.2.2. How do I print to the HP from the PB? I've tried this, 
but can't get it to work. My wife's iBook (Jaguar) prints fine to the 
HP over Airport...

I had a Kanga for a short period of time. The Kanga requires a specific
memory board, not the usual SIMMs-DIMMs-whateverIMMs that are in used today.
Since it's specific to it, there isn't a lot of places that still carry
those. And if you would find one, it would be very expensive. To the point
that if you add the money that you would spend on a 64 MB board for that
Kanga, plus the money you would get from selling the Kanga, you could
probably buy a 1st generation PowerBook G3 Series...

IIRC, you remove the keyboard and the memory board should be there, but I
could be wrong.

That's not necessary.

1) Navigate accordingly:
hard drive -> system folder -> startup items
Dump the alias to the serial port monitor from the startup items folder.

2) Check your Palm Desktop settings so that enable at startup is NOT 
selected. This will mean that whenever you want to sync you must open 
the Palm Desktop and enable HotSync setting and disabled it when done; 
not too tough. This should make it easier to sync your Palm more often.

There are a lot of good bargains on eBay. I got an HP 4MV for a good 
price. This is a post script printer, so it works in Jaguar. It comes 
with Ethernet, and it can accept 11 x 17 paper. there is a QMS model 
that is essentially the same printer. You can find a lot of these old 
critters for sale. Despite age many have seen little service, and, 
consequently, are in very good shape. Ask for a page count printout 
before buying.

It works fine for me. Could the Ethernet card on the Wallstreet be the 
problem?

Not sure what's up with your printing problems. What kind of printer 
are you using?

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT   That fixed it!  I thought that because 
Appletalk was safely locked on "ethernet" it wouldn't be affecting 
the printer/modem port.

I was wrong.

I had a long reply ready to send, about how AppleTalk is not set on 
the printer/modem port so it can't be the problem, but I figured, 
"I'd better double-check so I can be SURE I'm right" - I hate to have 
to admit I'm wrong after taking a righteous stand (it's hard enough 
at all other times :-)

I'm on a network, but with an OSX iMac & everything I do still seems 
to work without AppleTalk.

I did used to have the garbage-spitting problem & know it was 
AppleTalk's fault when, many moons & a system ago, after system 
crashes AppleTalk would revert to talking over the printer/modem 
port.  Locking it (clicking the padlock when in the admin user mode) 
on "remote only" (NOW I realize - until I really thought about it I 
THOUGHT it was ethernet) had fixed that problem.

Thanks!

Anne

I had a problem with an external FW drive in a Rev1 B&W; it wouldn't 
work until I upgraded the B&W to OSX (which kinda sucked rocks, since 
the reason I was attaching it was to back the system up before upgrading 
it to OSX...:-/

Dunno if this has any bearing on the issue  with the Pismo, but there 
are some FW drives that are not entirely compatible...

No, I mean Open Transport.  I need to disable the Open Transport 
extension in order for Serial Port Monitor to work - in order for 
ANYTHING to use my serial port.

It is true that Serial Port Monitor will block the serial port for 
any other use (like my printer).  I toggle it on & off with 
HotSyncCSM, and extremely convenient little CSM (except the times I 
forget, and swear at my computer for getting worse & not printing 
even with OT not loaded, and then find I forgot to toggle it off!).

But it doesn't appear to be the problem, since my printer spit out 
the same garbage when booting off the OS 9 install CD (no palm 
software) as it does whenever my computer boots with the Open 
Transport extensions.  I take this to mean that whatever's grabbing 
the serial port & preventing other use of it is part of the system - 
so the basic problem might be hardware.

In fact, the symptom of spitting out garbage to my printer is similar 
to a problem I used to have after crashes, where (IF I remember 
correctly) Appletalk or the modem or something reverted to the 
printer/modem port.  I fixed that by locking the Appletalk & Modem & 
other settings by changing my user mode to administration & clicking 
the padlock icons.  I've checked, & all those settings are still what 
they should be.

Re: USB PCMCIA card

[Anne Judge]

>  >You should be able to download the drivers from Epson.
>
>The drivers I was referring to were for the PC card, not the
>printer...

Sorry, my confusion.  The USB card should work with Apple's own 
drivers.  At least my OrangeUSB card does.

There should be extensions for USB card support in the 9.2.2 install. 
I don't know if they're installed by default - when installing 9.1 I 
found that the suggested install (I always choose "customize" & look 
at what it's trying to install) was DIFFERENT when I had my USB card 
pushed in vs. not, with the support for aftermarket USB not installed 
when it wasn't.

So I'd try the card first & see if it works!

If not, try apple's drivers - available on the system disk, or 
downloadable separately from the Apple site (USB Adapter Card Support 
1.4.1):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31132

Don't know if there's anything in the adapter support that's not in 
the 9 install (I used it with 8.6 but haven't reinstalled it after 9, 
since my card works), but if you find you don't have what you need 
already installed then it should be easier to add it from this than 
dealing with the system install CD.

Oh, a thought - my card's also 2.0, and the Apple OS doesn't support 
USB 2.0, only 1.1, with Apple's own extensions.  Orange said (at the 
time I bought my card - haven't checked back as I have since decided 
not to go on to X with this machine) that they would have drivers to 
support USB 2.0 in OS X, but not 9.  So the 3rd-party OSX drivers MAY 
be for the higher-speed USB, which you don't need for a printer & 
can't use with 9.2.2.

I don't know of any reason why the D-Link card would be
hardware-incompatible with a Pismo, they both purport to meet CardBus
interoperability standards.

However, AFAIK D-Link hasn't announced any plans to develop, release, or
support drivers for OS X for this card.  They haven't done so for their
other, similar wireless products.

Hence my attempt to deflect you to the Belkin product - they *have*
announced their intention to support their 802.11g card on the Mac.

When I've used inkjet printers connected to the serial port in the past, and
had a problem with it printing out a bunch of gibberish, I found that I had
to turn off AppleTalk. Some non-postscript printers require AppleTalk but
most do not. 

I'm guessing that you're not connecting to a network so you don't need
AppleTalk turned on. Sometimes you have to restart before it will work.

if there are drivers, there's no reason it wouldn't work; after all, why would they 
bother to write drivers if it wouldn't work anyway?

the more accurate question to ask is not when, but if. compared to applications, 
device drivers are fairly easy to write -- the decision about whether to do so is 
almost always a Support question, not a feasibility question. That is, when Company A 
decides not to write drivers, the reason is usually that they don't want the added 
expense of providing technical support to Mac users.

I assume you mean Serial Port Monitor, which is the Palm's detector 
software - it scans your ports checking to see if a Palm device has 
been connected. I had the same problem; I wrote a quickie Applescript 
to quit this application, which will free up your serial port. (let 
me know if anyone else needs this, and I'll email it directly). If 
you want to reactivate it, double-click on Serial Port Monitor, in 
your Palm folder.

Hope this helps,

I havent tried on my wallstreet (not a daily use machine) but I was

worked like a charm (card req'd no drivers and the printer drivers had 
already been downloaded and installed)

The drivers I was referring to were for the PC card, not the 
printer... and yes, it is a relic 3.5" (not so) floppy that says 
Windows and Mac OS X drivers, as if any current OS X-running Mac 
would have a floppy drive ;-?

Wallstreet Serial Port Problem

[Anne Judge]

Open Transport seems to block my serial port.

The only way to print or to sync my Palm is to restart with Open 
Transport extensions disabled.

If Open Transport is loaded and I try to print, it tells me it can't 
find the printer (or the Palm tells me it can't contact the computer).

If I start the computer with the printer turned on (and OT loaded), a 
page or more of junk gets spit out from the printer.

Obviously something to do with OT is hogging the serial port.

I upgraded from 8.6 to 9 (9.2.2 eventually) hoping that would fix it, 
but I pretty much knew that wouldn't work when I started up from the 
OS 9.1 install CD w/printer turned on and out came the garbage from 
the printer!!!

This is a major pain because I can't print from the web.  Mozilla & 
(I think) Eudora won't even start up with OT disabled.  I end up 
doing a lot of "printtopdf" (into a special "to print" folder) and 
then every so often rebooting and printing what's queued up.

Also my Palm doesn't get synced NEARLY as often as it should!

Does anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong?

I suppose whatever is wrong must be in hardware so I won't pay to fix 
it anyway.  But the problem seems so weird - the port DOES work when 
OT is disabled - I'd like to know if anyone's ever heard of such a 
thing before.

I guess it's time to shop for a networked laserwriter - with the 
added advantage that then I can print when I'm plugged in at the 
couch as well as at my desk!

(Darn, I wish that USB printer sharing would work between OSes 9 & X 
as Apple said it would with Jaguar, but I hear didn't deliver.)

I generally print (from my Wallstreet) with an Epson 600 attached to 
my serial port, but have on vacation used USB printers.

You should be able to download the drivers from Epson.

(Are you sure it's a floppy that's included?  I haven't seen such a 
thing for a LONG time!!)

I must admit, when I tried to use my sister-in-law's USB Epson (after 
loading its drivers), I had no luck.  It still tried to send the 
output through the serial port, and found no printer there.  Maybe 
that's because I hadn't deleted my Stylus 600 driver??  Anyone 
successfully using an Epson USB printer on a Wallstreet?

I used my mother-in-law's Canon and it worked just fine with the 
drivers that came on the CD with it.

USB PCMCIA card

[Marty Lindower]

Hi all-

My trusty Epson 740 died yesterday, and having a Wallstreet 
PB, my printer options are somewhat limited. I went to CompUSA and 
bought a USB 2.0 Cardbus 2 port adapter (and an Epson C62). Haven't 
unpacked it all yet, but I was wondering if:

- does anyone have any experience wit this? I don't care about the 
USB 2.0, but just need a USB printer port

- do I need any drivers, etc under OS 9.2.2? They said there's a 
floppy with drivers in the box (oh joy!); or in typical Mac fashion, 
should this just work?

- any comments on the printer?

TIA,

Marty Lindower

I seem to recall seeing a file named "Office Registration" or something like
that, that was invisible. I don't remember where, however. You might want to
do a search on your disk. Make sure that you add the 'visibility' attribute
to the search and set it to 'All'.

I would start looking in Home/Library/Preferences (where Home is your

Look for some files like 'com.microsoft.Entourage.plist'. I've 
deleted these for other applications without any drama. I'm sure

X11 is a UNIX based windowing GUI. The beta you refer to is an Apple

Which system version are you using again? Did you check on the discussion
section, on the Apple web site for similar problems?

fandango on core n.: [Unix/C hackers, from the Iberian dance] In C, a wild
pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the
malloc(3) arena in such a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is
sometimes said to have `done a fandango on core'. On low-end personal
machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it
incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage.
Other frenetic dances such as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted.

Re: Wallstreet internal modem

[Louis]

Using a terminal emulation program, you could try to send some AT modem
commands directly to the modem and see the result. By terminal
emulation,
I'm talking about something like "White Knight". I know there are
others,
but can't remember any of them right now.

I checked the modem with some AT commands in a fax program. And it
tested ok. The modem dials and when it communicates with the ISP it
doesn't seem to respond correctly or something. This is an early
Wallstreet I found a modem update for firmware at Apple and it said that
some of the first wallstreet's were not compatible with the update. I
downloaded it and it would not work it checked the modem and said it was
not the right modem. I could not find an earlier version modem updater
than the 2.0 ver. I already tried.

Not without drivers, it won't.  See the Belkin link I posted yesterday.
