Re: Powerbook (firewire) power adaptor failure
On 8/31/03 6:04 PM, Jackie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the Cybertrough: Greetings, The yo-yo adaptor on my pismo died today. For the last week or so I've noticed that it's been very particular about sending power to the machine, even when it appeared to be plugged in (at both ends). After some experimentation with a multimeter and checking the specifications for various Apple power adaptors, I've found that the power adaptor for a 1400/cs --- model no. M4896 --- is a (temporary?) solution. The machine is running fine and appears to be charging the battery. Some of the Pismos qualify for a new yo-yo adaptor under a U.S. Apple exchange program. This includes PowerBook G3 systems shipped from May 1998 until March 2000. Anyone who owns a Wallstreet, Lombard, or Pismo should check to see if their Powerbook adapter qualifies for the exchange. There is a chance it could be a fire hazard. 6 adapters have overheated, with no injuries reported. That was for the Brick style adapter..not the Yo yo. -- Kyle H.

Re: DVD on Wallstreet
Well, you will need a generic 9.x install CD... ones that come with a specific machine (other than your Wallstreet) will not boot. The DVD player will not run from Classic, because it needs access to the hardware, which Classic does not provide. You will need a generic 9.x install CD and install (you might want to check your HD too, since the 'not able to boot 9' problem sounds BAD).

Wall Street Battery problems
I upgraded a Wall Street unit with a Sonnet Crescendo G4/500. I had a problem with the PRAM battery (even before installing the processor upgrade) which went away when the PRAM battery was replaced. However, I am having the following problem: I can start up from the battery that came with the unit, but it invariably freezes after ~5 minutes of use. It is not the battery; I have a second PowerBook that works fine (I often swap the batteries between the units, and one unit has no problems running off either battery). I have reset the Power Management Unit. I have done most everything that I can find on Apple's help boards. And I am not alone; if you read this post: http://www.macopinion.com/columns/roadwarrior/02/06/11/talk/1.html you will see that someone else has had an identical problem (albeit with a G3/500 Crescendo upgrade). I have posted this to a number of boards and also to Sonnet's help board. If I get advice that resolves the problem, I promise I will follow up. Thanks in advance. -- Paul D. DiGiovanni, M.

Re: DVD on Wallstreet
I don't have my OS X handbook with me but I remember reading about a problem with OS 9 not being able to boot. I don't remember the solution but I know there was one. If I can get to my book tomorrow I'll send you the info. In the meantime, I've had several computers with OS X not want to boot off the 9 disk. A re-install(not a clean install) of X took care of the problem sometimes. Also, try resetting the power manager and pram. A couple weeks ago my wife's Wallstreet wouldn't boot from anything and out of desperation I reset the PM and pram and got it to at least begin booting off a CD. Can't explain why that worked, but may be worth a try if you haven't already. As an aside--Most of my mac using friends feel it is asking for trouble installing X over 9. They all recommend wiping the disk and starting fresh. I was a doubter, but the more I see, the more I think they may be right.

Wallstreet processor swap
Hi list, does anyone know if it is possible to replace the microprocessor board in a '98 G3 series 233mhz Wallstreet with the 233mhz cacheless board from an earlier model Mainstreet? My friend's Wallstreet won't start up (no startup chime) and we want to do the swap to see if the problem is in the processor and/or the ram. Also would the we be at risk of harming the good board if other components such as the power manger or i/o boards are faulty? Any info you can provide would be much appreciated.

Wallstreet - what's going on here?
My niece has been having trouble lately with her Wallstreet (a 266MHz model, I think). A few weeks ago she was nonplussed with the computer's demand to see a technician: a memory problem. I removed her two 64MB chips and put in a 256MB chip. It seemed to work. Then she complained of start-up problems, and it sounded like the memory check to me, so I told her to turn off the memory check, which was taking too much time at startup Now she writes me this: My computer seems functional and happy once it turns on, but so far it follows a rather interesting and alarming pattern. Every time I turn it off (as in when I turn it off every night), it follows the same start-up pattern. I press the power button and it starts to hum and (if I leave it) it just gets warm like it's trying to boot up but there's no chime. If I do the restart process immediately, it doesn't continue, but if I wait a while and do the restart process it will do the Mac-chimey- noise. About 5 to 10 seconds after the chime, it goes through a very curious and somewhat frightening series of noises and screams (but the series is always the exact same). Some of them sound like breaking glass and some just sound like a crackly radio. It almost sounds like there is a check of some sort running through the hardware under the keyboard. But my computer always boots up right after the noises and works dandily. My roommate thinks it may be a hardware connection problem of some kind in the start-up process. Any ideas? - t I know . . .

VCD player for Lombard 400 MHz OS 9.2.2 ??
A friend just scanned some old home movies into his computer and made some VCDs for me. I can play them on my Lombard (400 MHz OS 9.2.2 ) with Apple Video Player (version 1.7.3) but Quicktime (version 5.0.2) and Apple DVD player (version 1.3) don't seem to see them. Is there a better VCD player out there? If not is there something I should be doing differently? I should also be investigating player software for my Mom's Wallstreet (255 Mhz OS 9.2.2) and my brother's Beige desktop (OS 8.6). I'm also going to try and connect to the TV, my set has S-video inputs so I'm guessing I need an S-video cable to the TV and a sound cable to my stereo. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Powerbook (firewire) power adaptor failure
Some of the Pismos qualify for a new yo-yo adaptor under a U.S. Apple exchange program. This includes PowerBook G3 systems shipped from May 1998 until March 2000. Anyone who owns a Wallstreet, Lombard, or Pismo should check to see if their Powerbook adapter qualifies for the exchange. There is a chance it could be a fire hazard. 6 adapters have overheated, with no injuries reported. That was for the Brick style adapter..not the Yo yo. -- Kyle H. Hansen I always thought it was for just the bricks, too, but I personally know 3 Pismo owners who had their yo-yo adapters replaced by Apple. They filled in their Powerbook serial number and Apple deemed that they qualified. Could have been Apple's mistake, I guess, but I think it would refuse you if you didn't qualify. Since the Pismo came out in about Feb. 2000, maybe some of the yo-yo's were affected? Jackie -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
