Wireless card advice for my Wallstreet2 (SBC local phoneservice)

2003-07-21 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've just subscribed to the SBC DSL...29.00/mo for a year. I ordered the
wireless set up, and have a Sharp laptop with an 802.11b card built in, but
prefer using my vintage 1998  Powerbook around the house for most use.
Should I buy an Airport PCMCIA card for it, or one of the Orinocos, or one
of the other cards that I hear about. Or does it make any difference as long
as they comply to the IEE 802.11b standard.

Buying an airport card is not an option for you. Any of the Orinoco 
cards should work for you. Wireless is the only way to go. Good luck.

 When you answered this email your image appears at the far right top

 How do you do that?  I looked at your message and there is no 
 enclosure!  I figured that others might be interested, so I asked via 
 the group.

 David

it's a .Mac feature. in .Mac's webmail, you can set any image to show 
up as such.

Does it actually require .Mac? ISTR when I was on the Mail.app mailing
list a long time ago (pre-10.2), there was much excitement when one of
the Mail developers enabled that feature. I don't recall it requiring
anything other than Mail itself, but maybe Apple marketing changed that.

(Now using PowerMail, so can't find out for myself!)

Does the cursor disappear if you move it to the right and then not 
re-appear right away after moving back to the left?  By disappear I 
mean it doesn't show at all on the right edge.  If so your external

Pismo 400 chiming

2003-07-21 Thread Lynn
HI,

I hesitate to ask this because I do not want to know the
answer.

My PB has been chiming or dinging about 8 times every so often.
Not at startup. No startup issues.  It usually happens when
I have it on but am not using it.

Does this signal anything bad?
Thanks,
Lynn

You don't state if you have any applications open or what OS you are using.
Your computer chiming is trying to get your attention about something, but

iBook 300 - Strange Behavior

2003-07-21 Thread Kyle Lee
Hello all,

I have my hands on an iBook 300 Blueberry that was running fine. Then 
it started to shut down randomly. I checked the battery and the AC 
Adapter and they checked out. Now it will not boot at all. When I power 
it on, I hear the HD spin, but that is it. It does this when using just 
the battery or the AC Adapter. Any ideas as to what I should try first?

Sounds like an intermittent connection. The most obvious candidate is 
simply to remove and reinstall any installed RAM expansion card. But it 
could easily be an opened via or bad solder joint anywhere in the

 You don't state if you have any applications open or what OS 
 you are using. Your computer chiming is trying to get your 
 attention about something, but we need more info to determine what.

This is probably common knowledge, but...

You could try turning on speech for error messages. If this is
caused by an error dialog popping up behind the active window, it'll
chime, then read the dialog text to you. This has proven to be pretty
useful to me.

Re: Pismo 400 chiming

System 9.21
Running IE 5.1 mostly
Microsoft Word 98

I have been getting times where the computer seems to freeze
up the scroll bar.  Also,  I had a big problem with OE 5
for email and lost many messages.  It seems that it may be
related to RealPlayer.  I have not been able to get real player
to work and the last time I did run it is when I had the OE problem.
My cable connection seems rather slow and I get so many
messages telling me that there isn't enough memory to
open another window when I have plenty of memory for the
applications.  I have 320 mg memory and my computer won't
let me open Express and explorer with more than two windows.
I have allocated more memory to OE.  Is this the famous
memory leak going on? I can't remember what to do for that.
I am in the midst of getting together medical info for an
appt with a specialist tomorrow and am more concerned with
losing info than the computer problem. I have too much on my
plate but want to take steps to prevent something worse
from happening.  Disk first aid is usually okay although sometimes
it won't do it and says something another disk being in use.
I have no partitions.
Thanks!

Re: iBook 300 - Strange Behavior

2003-07-21 Thread Lewin Edwards
I can't work out with certainty whether you're being supercilious or 
simply terse, so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

The most obvious candidate is simply to remove and reinstall any 
installed RAM expansion card.
By this, I assume that you mean any extra additions made to the 
computer?
Since the most likely user addition is RAM, which is retained only by 
spring clips  and is often user-installed, it's also the most likely 
culprit for this problem - besides being the easiest candidate for a 
quick reseat-and-test. TTBOMK there are no other expansion/connectivity 
options for iBook which connect directly to any of the main internal 
buses, and hence no other obvious candidates. The flash is 
surface-mount, not socketed. Given the way AirPort is attached to the 
system, it's unlikely to be the culprit (since there is no startup 
chime and the screen never lights, it's probable that the CPU is either 
not running or has gone into deep space before or during power-on 
self-test, because of some device only partially connected the A/D 
buses that is coming on-bus when it's not supposed to, hence 
interfering with flash read cycles. It's not *likely* that AirPort 
could do this, though it is *possible*).

But it could easily be an opened via or bad solder joint anywhere in 
the system.
And by this, I think that you mean a connection on the mother board?
What I said is anywhere in the system, which consists of the planar 
(what you refer to as the motherboard) and possibly other 
subassemblies.

It's also quite possible that it's an electronic failure; for example, 
a cap gone bad in one of the SMPSs in the device, or an inductor with a 
cracked wire that used to be making contact but now isn't, or a 
ferrite-cored inductor that's cracked and has gradually lost core 
material and changed value until the SMPS oscillator no longer starts 
up (though the user would probably hear the pieces rattling around if 
this was the case). The HDD is powered from a +5V rail, so the fact 
that it spins up doesn't mean the PSUs are all good. It's perfectly 
possible that Vcore or Vio aren't being generated correctly. The 
symptoms are also not inconsistent with ESD to one of the major ICs in 
the unit.

All that is, however, not germane to the issue, which is that the 
simplest and likeliest fix is to remove and/or reseat installed 
expansion RAM. No need to look for exotic explanations or detailed 
fault-finding techniques when a simple procedure is likely to fix the 
issue, and quite unlikely to cause further harm.

I think you loose it after you've replaced the hard drive.  Don't know 
about the PRAM.

Re: iBook 300 - Strange Behavior

2003-07-21 Thread Kyle Lee
Lewin,

Thanks. And I did not mean to come across as terse. I have a lot of 
experience with Macs of all kinds, but have never dealt with an iBook 
on this level. I do appreciate you taking the time to give me some 
great advice on this subject.

Thanks again and sorry if I came across as rude.

Wait ONE... My imac se400 and pismo 400 have been had the PRAM reset 
too
many times to count and the serial # shows up in the profiler under  
the
last info blockProduction Information..
Regards,

Ok, then *some* systems will no longer show the serial number in the 
system profiler when the PRAM has been reset.
there's not a single mac model that stores the SN in PRAM. there are 
two possibilities - older models store it in the boot sector of the 
hard drive. others have it encoded in the logic board ROM.

so... on some models, zero-all-data and/or replacing the hard drive 
will destroy the stored s/n.

on all recent vintage macs, replacing the logic board is the only way 
to erase this info.

Re: iBook 300 - Strange Behavior

2003-07-21 Thread Lewin Edwards
Kyle,

Thanks. And I did not mean to come across as terse.
Aha, no problem. I wasn't sure. No offense taken! I kind of got my 
heckles up, because I design devices like this for a living (see for 
example http://www.zws.com/capabilities.html). Then I looked at your 
message again and I wasn't sure if you were being nasty or if I was 
just reading too much into a very short email. And the latter was 
obviously true. Sorry if I came off as an unreasonable flamer!

Interesting web site. Makes me want to buy the book. And no offense 
taken at all. I will spend more time on your website and see what it is 
all about. I will also let you know what I find out concerning the

Ibook 700 and date time error

2003-07-21 Thread Michael Thompson
Hi,
Our iBook 700 running 9.2.2 has developed the strangest error. On
restart/boot, it gives a date  time error message at finder launch that
says the time zone is invalid. It also turns off Appletalk.

Anyone heard of this before or know of a fix? I've searched but not found
anything.
Thanks!
