Re: Install OS 9 on G4 867?
On Tuesday, October 7, 2003, at 10:16 PM, Ken Strayhorn wrote: I recently purchased a G4 867 to replace my workhorse PB 3400. One of the selling points for my boss was the ability to retain my ton of legacy SCSI devices like scanners, especially my old Color OneScanner, which is perfect to carry on the road. I was expecting to be able to boot my new G4 into OS 9, but when I select start up disk there's no OS 9 folder. The system does run Classic Environment, but will not boot to OS 9. So, is it possible to install OS 9 on this new PowerBook? I have a copy of the OX 9.1 disk that came with my OS X install disks when I upgraded all the office desktops. Also have the PowerBook restore disks, but that doesn't seem to have OS 9 on them, unless I just looked in the wrong place. I have a TiPB 867 purchased Jan 2003. The Software Install and Restore disk [a DVD] has OS 9.2.2 on it. Maybe you were given the incorrect Software Restore disk? HTH .

OT: Windows Media Player on Website incompatibilities
Hello, Using my pismo to websurf and every time I try to view video links requiring windows media player, it doesn't work. The frustrating part is that they are on commonly used websites like espn, cnet, etc. I've already checked out www.mactopia.com for the latest version of WMP for OS X, but still doesn't improve compatibility. Am I the only one? Any comments would be most appreciated. Michael -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Modem/Phone Help
Does anyone else out there have a Sprint PCS Vision phone that they are using as a portable modem for their laptop? I have a Sanyo 5300 and my new Albook 17 sees the phone and allows me to select it as a modem, but it won't connect. I *know* that it will work with this phone, because I have seen it done.

Re: OT: Windows Media Player on Website incompatibilities
It has something to do with the file handlers under your browser. I can't view any WMP streams/files in Safari or Mozilla, but I can see them just fine with IE 5.5.

Re: Stuffit 8.0

At the repeated urging of Stuffit, we upgraded to 8.0, only to find that programs and upgrades unstuffed with it do not run. Aladdin says that this is because Apple told them to do that and they offer a work-around that does not so far work for us. This is bizarre. Stuffit Expander is a key piece of software. What is your experience with this. Bye-the-way, I would definitely not recommend upgrading to 8. Aladdin has released an update that fixes this problem. Stuffit Engine 8.0.1 can be downloaded from http://www.stuffit.com/mac/deluxe/updates.html. And, yes, Apple did ask them to make this change. Stuffit 8 is doing things the way they SHOULD have ALWAYS been done. Stuffit 7 and before were doing it wrong. But, since we are used to the way it has always worked (wrong or not), we expect it to work the same in Stuffit 8. As I said before, the update reverts to the older behavior. But, what is really needed is for providers that provide software in stuffed format to use the new .sitx format and not the older .sit format.

Re: OT: Windows Media Player on Website incompatibilities
Sorry all, But I was able to view video streams on espn using Safari and having WMP 7.1 on my machine. How about: 1. checking the Safari plugins 2. if no change - reinstalling WMP so that it can reinstall the plugin JB On 10/8/03 12:36 PM, Shane Wolfe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It has something to do with the file handlers under your browser.
