[OT] Memory for 16/600ps?
Slightly off-topic, but since I intend to use it with my Pismo, I thought I should post here. Does anybody know what kind of memory goes into a LaserWriter 16/600ps? I've seen some 32MB kits on eBay, but they tend to end up quite high for such small amount of memory. Is it really proprietary or can I find something somewhere cheap?

Exploding HD Enclosures! ME-910U2F
Dear Listers, Imagine plugging your nice, shiny external firewire drive into your computer, and moments later hearing an explosion and seeing a jet of smoke shooting out the back of your enclosure! This is exactly what happened to me THREE TIMES. I post here because I had previously recommended this product to people on this list, owing to the nice design, and apparent quality. I now feel obliged to report my horrendous experience to you all, in the hopes that you will be able to avoid the trouble. I also submit my sincere regret to anyone who had this problem because of my prior recommendation. Way back in March, I wrote: Jeff wrote: I picked up a refurb 20GB IBM model 40GNX from consumerdepot.com for just $69 this week. I also suggest you investigate the external housing options by triumph technologies, for your surplus drive? (specifically, the model me-910 series) They make dual USB2, dual Firewire, and combo USB2/firewire enclosures, which ARE Mac compatible (and use the oxford 911 bridge for the firewire part). The following experiences involve the ME-910U2F (combo firewire/USB) enclosure only. It is for 2.5 hard disk drives, typically the size used in laptop computers, not the larger 3.5 drives used in desktop systems. Several months ago, I purchased a pair of these enclosures, and was so happy with them that I promoted them on this list. Two months ago, I had to return one for replacement, and last week had to return the second one as well (vendor: Computer Geeks, of Oceanside, CA, who issued RMA's for replacement equipment). Today the initial replacement from several months ago also went up in smoke. These enclosures worked fine on an Apple Powerbook G3 firewire for several weeks, bus powered, and also on an Apple PowerMacintosh 7200 with USB PCI card, also bus powered, and also on two Dell computers, USB bus powered. They contained different brands of working hard drive mechanisms. In April, the first enclosure exploded several seconds after plugging it into an iMac DV G3/450MHz computer firewire port at a job in New York (loud bang, with smoke shooting out the back of the enclosure). It appeared that a capacitor (1 cm tall, black cylindrical component on the board inside the enclosure) blew up, releasing smoke and brown fuzz. The IBM drive mechanism was undamaged, and worked fine in the replacement enclosure provided by Computer Geeks on a Powerbook. Last week, the second enclosure similarly exploded several seconds after plugging it into a separate, working, external firewire drive, connected to my personal iMac DV G3/400MHz computer, at home. In this instance, the ME-910U2F was not directly connected, but rather chained through another external firewire hard drive (3.5 style, from OWC, housed in a MacAlly enclosure. Today I attached a third ME-910U2F enclosure (the replacement, above) containing an IBM mechanism to the firewire port of an academic G4 eMac, only to hear the same BANG and see the same smoke shooting out the back. Different computers and different drive mechanisms; the only things in common were the ME-910U2F enclosures connecting to a firewire bus, and with the same capacitor exploding. Ironically, the second one exploded when I was *trying* to demonstrate to a friend how great this enclosure is. The eMac and both iMac computers continue to work properly with other brands of external firewire drives and equipment attached to them. I wrote to Triumph Technologies, with this information, inquiring if this was a known problem. They replied as follows: There was one batch of them with bad capacitors, hence your explosive problem. This have been fix in later productions. Most ibook/PowerBook user will never encounter this problem due to the lower Amp. The higher Amp on the iMac/eMac/PowerMac doesn't agree with the bad capacitor. I guess I have sufficiently bad luck to get THREE of the early ones. I doubt I'll be able to get Computer Geeks to accept the third one back for replacement, and I'm about to try replacing the bad capacitor myself, if I can find the part. Anyone know where to buy components like this on the www? Radio Shack doesn't seem to carry the one I need (220uF, 6.3V, radial, 105 degree C, electrolytic). If you've got an ME-910U2F, I would suggest that you NEVER plug it into an iMac or eMac; if you're shopping for an enclosure, I suggest you avoid this one. Google it on the WWW to get a picture of it so you know what to avoid if buying on ebay or from another vendor. OWC formerly carried this enclosure, but does not list it anymore. Neither do the Geeks, in fact. I will remain afraid--very afraid--to use ANY hard drive enclosure from this manufacturer on my eMac or iMac systems. I hope this helps someone. --Jim. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Refurbished Drives | -- Check our web site for

This is exactly what happened to me THREE TIMES. snipped tale of exploding drive enclosures How embarrassing to be at a jobsite and have your portable drive explode? Geez, heh heh heh, just glad it wasn't _me_! And the exploding great(!!) drive demonstration must have been a laugh riot too . . . NOT! I've got 4 of the ME-910F model and I've recommended the same to tons of folks just as did you. I sure hope those pyrocapacitors didn't find their way into this model. I haven't plugged one into an iMac or eMac however and if I do I'll now be _un-surprised_ if mine go bang too. Nice that at least Triumph got back to you with an explanation. Based on that communication you should have the Geeks replace those with a different model or simply refund your costs. That said, digikey.com (among others of course) has the part should you decide to repair it yourself. I'm curious what sort of voltage those iMac/eMacs are pumping out of their FW ports. It sure sounds like a very poorly regulated PS putting out an excessively high voltage. Can you measure some voltages, on both the exploder i/eMacs and the non-exploders?

Re: Exploding drive.
Jim; I would suggest that you use a higher voltage rating cap, say 16 V or 25 V, if it can fit in the enclosure. Two things can blow caps; overvoltage, or overcurrent. As these happened just after connecting, it must be overvoltage. Overcurrent would take some time. If the design is o.k. perhaps they got a batch of bad caps. Higher voltage caps will not affect circuit operation; just a higher factor of safety. Any 220µF electro will perform the same, providing it can stand the voltage, get same or higher temp rating.

Pricing Advice
Hello folks, I'm planning on selling my Pismo, as I have a 1Ghz 15 on hold at the Apple Store. I'm obviously going to use the proceeds from this sale to reach the goal for the TiBook. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of a fair price... The specs are like this: Pismo 400MHz 512MB RAM 40GB 5400rpm IBM Travelstar 40GNX HD (bought for $149, only a month old) DVD module Zip 100 drive module 4 zip disks Original box, original CDs BTi AC adapter There are a few problems, like... For example, it has no port cover in the rear, and there is a small scratch in the polarizer. And the sound has been on the fritz. Can you guess why I'm trying to get a new notebook? I have a 2.5 20GB external FireWire hard drive that might also go with it, and also possibly a 5.25 FireWire enclosure, plus the cables. First off, this might go to my brother for whatever amount ends up being what I need to cover the rest of the amount needed to get the TiBook. (I have $1800 spread over a monthly payroll deduction, but that obviously isn't enough.) What's the advice? Give it to my brother, or be a filthy capitalist and try to sell it to the highest bidder? My feeling is I could get at least $500, maybe more, but I could be optimistic. Thanks, Peter -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pricing Advice
Put it on ebay with a $500 reserve and see where it goes! You may be pleasantly surprised, but then I just picked one up with no problems for $700 0n ebay. The 5400 rpm drive should bring the price up a bit and I would expect you would get at least $600 for it, even with the problems you listed. Tom I've had one of these apart, and I'd have to argue against the sound board replacement - too much time and trouble. I'd ask $750 and be happy with $650-$700. You could also part it out, and probably get more, but that avenue takes time and patience. Best of luck . . . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OSX on Lombard + RAM max
So I need a boost from 320MB. Which leads me to another question: I've seen a lot of postings about seemingly different types of RAM on this and/or other Mac groups but understand none of it. Forgive my ignorance, for I am not a tech person, but is there a particular type of RAM I should get? Is there a difference in quality from one brand to the next? Etc.? Also, does processor speed have anything to do with OSX functioning well? My Lombard is 333MHz. I love the Lombard and am currently jazzed about inheriting a used 20GB HD, a big boost from the 4GB that came with (and from which I am constantly dumping things in a desperate attempt to keep that recommended 10% clear...)

Pricing Advice Follow-Up
Hello fellow listers: Thanks for the advice provided in such a limited amount of time. Fortunately, things turned out to be a little more fortunate that I expected. My parents are going to help cover most of the extra expense, so selling the PowerBook actually became less of an issue than it was at the beginning. So, I decided to forgo anything risky and just struck a deal with my brother. He's in high school, so I think a laptop computer, especially one as powerful as a Pismo still is, will be a good tool for him, and I'm hoping it will motivate him. Plus, I can swap out the nice 5400rpm drive into my new laptop, which makes me super happy! I can't wait... This 1Ghz TiBook may be obsolete come July 14, but at least it will last me as long as my Pismo, I hope. And hopefully the Pismo will follow my brother through high school. And I'm turning him into a Mac user! Peter -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Your typical electric utility draws its line current out of the big generators with a pair of coil taps located near the top of the dynamo. When the normal tap brushes get dirty, they take them off line to clean them up, and use special auxiliary taps on the bottom of the coil. Now, this is a problem, because when they do that they get not ordinary or `thin' electrons, but the fat'n'sloppy electrons that are heavier and so settle to the bottom of the generator. These flow down ordinary wires just fine, but when they have to turn a sharp corner (as in an integrated-circuit via), they're apt to get stuck.

My feeling is I could get at least $500, maybe more, but I could be optimistic. Thanks, Peter Peter, I know you've already given it to your brother, but just for future reference if you'd like the current market rate on just about anything, including a Pismo-- go to eBay--My eBay--Search--Advanced Search-- Completed Items Only. This will give you the final price on all items that were sold on eBay matching that description. So, you don't have to sort through auctions that are not completed. This is pretty helpful if you are trying to figure out what something is worth, whether you are selling it , submitting an insurance claim, getting tax information, etc., etc. Finally that sound board needs to come out. If your brother is going to whack on that Pismo he's going to need some tools from Radio Shack or wherever.
