IBook M6497 HD compatible with Wallstreet's?
A friend will sell me his IBook M6497 which he dropped (and after 2 days the HD failed) cheaply.

Cookie problem through switch
I have just had a D-Link switch installed in my room (to service the HP LJ2500L I spoke about, yes still a problem). When I run my Pismo through the switch, cookies are not enabled hence very few web sites work. When I bypass the switch everything works fine. I know it's not the Pismo/System software as I had the same problem with a TiBook when I visited (or at least I presume it was as the symptoms were the same even though didn't see a switch there). Basically, is there a known issue with a switch and cookie problems on Macs ? D-Link says that they have no incompatibility issues with the switch and Macs... I'm still running Classic. Laurence I am stunned by the amount of problems I am having with my new job, all because I want to remain using a Mac... _ Tired of spam?

Wallstreet power problems
Hi, I've built a Wallstreet PB from parts (eBay). It's a 233 w/512k, 6Gb Hd and 13.3, CD and good battery. I was told that the MB was defective, but I put the pieces all together and the system started up. But minutes later, it stopped working. Only the fan and the green led remained on. Restoring PMU alternates the system between completely stopped or fan + led. Only from time to time (normally after several hours of inactivity) the fan + led status changes automatically to completely stopped and I'm able to boot the machine normally. Once booted everything works for a period of time (sometimes during all night) until suddenly it changes again to fan + led mode. PRAM seems to be Ok, cause the system keeps date and time. Can I consider that the MB is defective? Sould I replace the PMU, the power card or the sound card? Thanks in advance. Ramon -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Cookie problem through switch ?
Scenario: Connecting my Pismo to the Internet (via DHCP) using a D-Link Switch here at work causes Internet explorer to appear to deny cookies even though I have the setting to never ask. Removing the switch and connecting the PB directly to the RJ45 socket and everything works as it should. I'm using Mac OS 9.2 and Internet Explorer 5.1.7 I actually experienced this prior to actually working here when I visited with my then PowerBook G4 (though a different socket which probably had a switch there somewhere). Any ideas ? There aren't many sites that don't use cookies so Internet becomes pretty useless...

Re: Cookie problem through switch ?
Connecting my Pismo to the Internet (via DHCP) using a D-Link Switch here at work causes Internet explorer to appear to deny cookies even though I have the setting to never ask. Removing the switch and connecting the PB directly to the RJ45 socket and everything works as it should. That's a rather weird occurrence. Switches don't do anything to packets other than send them to the correct port on the switch based on the destination MAC address in the packet. They perform no routing, they do not look at the data load of the packet or anything like that. Cookies are pretty high up in the OSI model (application layer I think). and so the switch should not be affecting them at all. What model dlink switch is this? If anything, I'd suspect that the switch is bad and corrupting packets possibly. When you hook the Pismo to the RJ 45 jack instead of the switch, are you using the exact same port that the switch is connected to when you do this, or another empty port in the wall jack?

Re: Cookie problem through switch ?
It really sounds like the switch itself is bad. Have you tried plugging an Intel based PC in to see if it has the same issues? One other thing to try would be to force the ethernet port on your Mac to 100/full and see if that fixes the issue.

Re: Pismo... Powerbook or Powerbook G3 Series
David: Actually, you were not wrong. Rather, what Eugene has uncovered is a discrepancy in how Apple refers to the Pismo and, I believe, a mistake on that particular tech note in naming the computer as the Powerbook G3 Series (Firewire). I did a little research on this because, quite frankly, I'm sick of being confused about what's what and I have long heard and considered the Pismo NOT to be a member (offically) of the Powerbook G3 Series of computers despite the fact that it, obviously, is a G3 Powerbook. However, the following line is cut and pasted directly from the Pismo Service Manual (and it should be noted here that the title of the manual is Powerbook (Firewire). PowerBook (FireWire) is the latest addition to the PowerBook G3 Series of computers. The conclusion I draw (this is clearly my OPINION) from this is that while the official Apple name for this computer is Powerbook (Firewire), it is still considered to be a member of the Powerbook G3 Series of computers. However, as I had pointed out in a previous email, the label on the Pismo clearly says only Powerbook as compared with the Lombard which is specifically labeled as Powerbook G3 Series and the previous G3 Powerbooks are labeled as Macintosh Powerbook G3 Series (I don't have a Kanga so I'm not sure how that machine was labeled). What this all adds up to, again in my opinion, is... hello Apple, could you make it any more confusing? All this just to figure out what computer you are dealing with and what technical information relates to that computer? Maybe a better system in the Apple Tech Notes would be to require that they always designate what models they are referring to by number rather than by name as long as the names seem to be somewhat arbitrary (and thus confusing) in their use. By the way, I submitted a bug report regarding this tech note to Apple to see what their response is regarding this (specifically, pointing out that the Powerbook G3 Series (Firewire) was never a model of computer made by Apple). I'll let you all know (I know you are all anxiously waiting with baited breath to hear) what I find out if Apple responds. ...

The only time I boot in 9 is to print in photoshop 7--because it won't boot in classic, and as you all know, if you try to print 50-100 copies of something in Word or Photoshop the OSX print driver will print each item as a separate document, rastering each independently, thereby causing each copy to take 3-4 minutes or more likely, causing the program to crash. (Also Word X requires every document to be brand new or it wont print it). I keep copies of Word 98-2000 so I can print in classic. -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

There isn't any patch beyond that for OS X if I recall correctly. The e-mail viruses require VBScript (Visual Basic Script) support to run... and Microsoft didn't consider the Mac a viable platform for VBScript.

Re: finally switched to Jag, but having a problem with a Word attachment
David Stephenson wrote: I've finally switched to Jag (can't believe it took me so long, but I'd somehow built it up in my mind as much more of a transition than it really was), and am having one problem. I just sent my first email to a Windoz recipient that included a v. 9 Word document as an attachment. I saved it as a Word document, included the .doc suffix, but the recipient said it came across as gibberish (it was a resume, and, come to think about it, maybe that was a comment on my background, not on the formatting...). Any ideas? --W. David Stephenson It's probably both on the recipient's end, and a Word problem... Word encodes Mac document files with a resource fork, even though nothing is in there and Word will open the file just happy without the resource fork being present. If you sent it with Mail.app, the message went out as three attachments, one the text of the message, another the encoded resource fork for the Word file, the last the attached file itself. Some mail clients (notably Eudora spit!) will screw this up, and only see the resource fork attachment and try to call it the file itself. (And no it isn't really the fault of Mail.app, it's that Mail.app actually *properly* encodes mime attachemnts as apparently very few other mail applications do, and they screw up. I've seen it happen here. I can read and open an attachemnt just fine with Mozilla or Mail.app but Eudora or WebMail screws it up. Other web-based email clients like Neomail or Horde see it properly.) The solution is to stuff the MS files before sending them.

Lombard Battery Memory
Hello all, This is my first query to this group, though I've been on the powercomputing list for a while. Thanks in advance for any advice you might offer. Just got a G3 Lombard via ebay (no manual), plugged it in to check it out and discovered that the battery indicator next to the clock has an red X through it and on the control panel strip, when I click on the battery icon, the options are grayed out. I unplugged it to see if the battery indicator would appear and the unit turned off and reset to 1904 Q 1. Does this mean no battery or dead battery? Q2. How much memory do you suggest and and where to get it? The Lombard currently has 64 K ram running on OS 8.6. I expect to move to Jaguar and I run Word, Excel, Filemaker, Palm, Outlook Express and Explorer simultaneously. Eventually I guess I'll need to max out the RAM (512?) but for now I would prefer to try to get by with one 256 chip due to cost. Do I understand correctly that for 512 I'll need both a low and high profile chip if I add both? As the high profile is less expensive is there any reason I should not get that now and the low profile later? I could stretch and get both now if there was a good reason to but would prefer not to have to. Any advice on the battery icon, where to get memory and how much I'll need?

Re: Pismo... Powerbook or Powerbook G3 Series
At 10:56 AM -0400 9/22/03, Eric Morrison wrote: David: Actually, you were not wrong. Rather, what Eugene has uncovered is a discrepancy in how Apple refers to the Pismo and, I believe, a mistake on that particular tech note in naming the computer as the Powerbook G3 Series (Firewire). I did a little research on this because, quite frankly, I'm sick of being confused about what's what and I have long heard and considered the Pismo NOT to be a member (offically) of the Powerbook G3 Series of computers despite the fact that it, obviously, is a G3 Powerbook. However, the following line is cut and pasted directly from the Pismo Service Manual (and it should be noted here that the title of the manual is Powerbook (Firewire). PowerBook (FireWire) is the latest addition to the PowerBook G3 Series of computers. The conclusion I draw (this is clearly my OPINION) from this is that while the official Apple name for this computer is Powerbook (Firewire), it is still considered to be a member of the Powerbook G3 Series of computers. However, as I had pointed out in a previous email, the label on the Pismo clearly says only Powerbook as compared with the Lombard which is specifically labeled as Powerbook G3 Series and the previous G3 Powerbooks are labeled as Macintosh Powerbook G3 Series (I don't have a Kanga so I'm not sure how that machine was labeled). What this all adds up to, again in my opinion, is... hello Apple, could you make it any more confusing? All this just to figure out what computer you are dealing with and what technical information relates to that computer? Maybe a better system in the Apple Tech Notes would be to require that they always designate what models they are referring to by number rather than by name as long as the names seem to be somewhat arbitrary (and thus confusing) in their use. Unfortunately the model numbers are frequently only the Family Number which is the same for many models. I think all the Duos are the same Family Number. By the way, I submitted a bug report regarding this tech note to Apple to see what their response is regarding this (specifically, pointing out that the Powerbook G3 Series (Firewire) was never a model of computer made by Apple). I'll let you all know (I know you are all anxiously waiting with baited breath to hear) what I find out if Apple responds. The (Firewire) part is Apple dealing with the same problem as we do, they just do it differently, not using the code names but using features to differentiate the various PowerBook G3 My WallStreet (II) shows under the LCD as Macintosh Powerbook G3 and on the bottom side of the case as Macintosh Powerbook G3 Series which is then followed by the configuration (CPU speed, RAM, HD size, etc). The G3 Kanga shows under the LCD as Macintosh Powerbook G3 and on the bottom side of the case as Macintosh Powerbook G3. You run into the same problem with all the G3 and later machines. This is all thanks to Stevie. I can understand the idea of a common name but they really should have had some distinct, easily identified designation (such as model number).

Check the LED display on the battery (there is a button you can push on it.) Q2. How much memory do you suggest and and where to get it? The Lombard currently has 64 K ram running on OS 8.6. I expect to move to Jaguar and I run Word, Excel, Filemaker, Palm, Outlook Express and Explorer simultaneously. Eventually I guess I'll need to max out the RAM (512?) but for now I would prefer to try to get by with one 256 chip due to cost. I'm using a WallStreet with 320Mb RAM, the original 64 plus an added 256Mb. I'm running OS X. It works pretty well. I figure to get another 256Mb soon. Do I understand correctly that for 512 I'll need both a low and high profile chip if I add both? As the high profile is less expensive is there any reason I should not get that now and the low profile later? I could stretch and get both now if there was a good reason to but would prefer not to have to. Any advice on the battery icon, where to get memory and how much I'll need? The lower slot requires the low profile memory, the upper can take either. I went with the low profile and put it into the bottom slot. This will make adding another 256Mb easier. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

My battery is most definitely dead, but I'm also replacing my PRAM battery because my computer doesn't like to keep the date if it's unplugged for too long. Unfortunately, nobody seems to offer a new PRAM battery, so I'm forced to get one on eBay. I'm not sure but I kinda remember reading at some point that if your main battery was dead, the PRAM one wouldn't recharge.
