Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
I think Apple should be applauded on their decision to move to a modern operating system. It was a big move, totally rewriting a new system from the ground up took vision to make it successful and guts to do it in the first place. U UNIX is not new eye candy, it would have been awesome if they really did write a new code. Oh yeah...for those of you/us still running OS 9.It's been considered a dead OS for a couple of years now. Get with the times or QYB. Apple should not waste any more time or money un-developing their software so that it will run on machines that are years old. 18 months is a LIFETIME in the world of computing. Oh please, so every 18 months I am supposed to get a new computer just because Apple decides to go sideways. The good thing about Apple WAS that the were well built, software would run and upgrade for the last 9 years. This is a FORCED change and some people, the loyal Apple followers feel a little screwed. Give Apple $3500 bucks every 18 months, maybe a few professionals, not the average user. Macs were built to last, now their are just problems filled windoz boxes.

Trust in Apple
I would have to agree here. Apple could easily double their market share if they actually spent a bit more time understanding how to treat their customers ever had to return/fix a machine?. This is where Apple is really losing it, I never had to deal with them in the past except the old 5300 fix em 3 times and they work, I thought that was pretty cool of Apple, then I learned this came to be by a law suit. From 1985 all through the Apple road they just worked. The pismos is where I got my taste of Apple Care. Nasty, I really wanted to get the G5s put a 10K order together it is still there waiting to press order-guess we will rebuild the pismos and see what happens. I lost my trust in Apple, yes windoz sucks but the air is getting loud sorta like some of the early G5s I have heard about Geoff To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.

VPC 6 on a Pismo/400
Has anyone had success running Virtual PC 6 on a Pismo? Microsoft says a minimum rating of 500 MHz is necessary, and that upgrades are not supported, but my Pismo is only a 400 MHz and I need to run some PC programs. I'm using Panther, which I really like, but Thoth 1.7.1 and Reunion 8.04 now have some stability problems.

Re: Lombard, Firewire PCMCIA card, and iPod
Just plugging the iPod in does not work with most PCMCIA cards, because most cannot provide power over the port. You can attempt to use it with a FW card that can provide power through a power brick, or you can do the following: Plug the iPod in, press the Menu Play buttons and hold until the iPod resets. Right when it resets, press the Next Prev buttons and hold until 'Do not disconnect' appears. This puts the iPod into Firewire Disk Mode and should then make it appear on the desktop.

Re: VPC 6 on a Pismo/400
It really depends what guest OS you try to use. I can tell you that it won't run anything above Windows 98 well on that machine, but it will run. I ran VPC 5 and 6 on a 500mHz Pismo, and the performance was slow but acceptable emulating Win98. Running Windows 2000 was painfully slow. Completely unuseable. Interestingly enough, VPC with Win98 ran better on my 500mHz Pismo than on a 600mHz iBook. The cache makes a big difference.

PRAM batteries...
I have a question about PRAM batteries... I need new ones for my Wallstreet (two, actually) and Pismo. The question is: How many VL2330 cells are in the modules? From the service manual, the Wallstreet looks like it has 6 or 8... I don't want to tear down my Wallstreet(s) right now to confirm, so does anyone know? How about the Pismo? It looks like 4 or so... The local Batteries Plus doesn't carry VL2330s, so I have to special order them (and prove to the disbelieving sales clerk that there IS a rechargeable 2330 - VL2330 - at 3V and not 1.2V).

There are still people running pre-PowerPC Macs so how are you forced? share if they actually spent a bit more time understanding how to treat their customers ever had to return/fix a machine?. Yes 2 times I paid for the 1st pismo $345.00/ Just to run JAG OS 9 ran fine. It was here I discovered the beast under the candy. The one under Apple Care for 3 more months they claimed something was spilled in the pismo *sometime* in the last 6 months. Ya right.. Found out from ex apple care workers this is a standard response. They broke my power cord and killed my battery. Apple's Ms. Wells, the top manager of Apple care, has an office next to steve, denied ever touching those parts funny they had Apple bar codes and writing on the battery and power cord. They lie. The company is changing and if you look to the future in 5 years are we still going to be typing on silly machine that takes more work to read the manuals to make it work at it's MAX productivity. I think not. Their going to bleed us while they can. Apple has changed and some very loyal customers are not happy. Check the boards Geoff Right ... troll.

Pismo--No S Video Ouput
Greetings. I'm having a small problem with my Pismo, which I saw last spring, and solved the first time. It was a simple fix, but I can't remember what I did and need to do it again--whatever it was. I run in extended desktop mode on a regular basis with an external monitor. This works fine, is working now without problems. The problem is, if I turn the machine off, unplug the monitor, plug in S video, boot, I get no recognition of the S video being plugged into the machine at all. This is annoying, since I wanted to watch a DVD on the television last night. Naturally this looks like a hardware problem, but I've seen it before, and know that it is related to software. At least, it was the last time it happened. Anyone out there seen this problem before? I think I trashed display prefs the last time around, but want to confirm that this is the case before I try it, because I'm trying to avoid re-calibrating my monitors. Thanks. BTW, in regards to instability on Pismo with 9.2.2, I've been running it for a while now, and it has been pretty solid. 9.1 was awful. -- Regards, Dante McLean Dante McLean Photography [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- NeXTmail soon to be welcome!

Re: Rejuvenating Dead Pismos
Josh Watson wrote: This is my first post to the list - I've had a PB 5300 and a 190 before, and have just bought 3 dead pismo's. Two of them look intact (I've looked under the keyboard), one is certainly dead. They do nothing if given power, and wondered if anyone had any tips for getting them to power up - will a Pismo power up without a PRAM battery/HDD/DVD/etc attached, or if i remove some boards? I've already tried resetting the Power manager with the button on the back and tried disconnecting the battery/mains and Li-ion battery for a few minutes. Here's what can be missing and a Pismo will still start (assuming what's left is OK): pram batt main batt hd + optical drive LCD (plug in an external monitor if u need to see anything :-) invertor board PC card cage keyboard + trackpad modem Here's what a Pismo needs to start (_good_ parts that is): logic board processor (400 or 500, doesn't matter) ram so-dimm, qty 1, any size (no ram on LB!) power supply card sound (power input) card power supply interconnecting cables How do I know the above? heh heh, been there, done that. :-) Best way to test is to _borrow_someone_else's_ known-good Pismo and swap parts into dead 'Books. Second best way to test is to buy a known-good Pismo (just the bottom end?) and swap parts into dead 'Books. I'd leave the main battery out for testing, and unplugging the pram batt from the LB might help. Hmm, it appears not to actually even need ram, a ramless working Pismo will still respond thusly: Note: There is no RAM on the microprocessor board itself, so the computer will beep if no memory is installed in at least one of the slots. Here's what I've read about your Pismos' symptoms: Computer won¹t power up 1. Restart computer by pressing the reset button on the back of the unit. Wait five seconds and press the Power key. 2. Try known-good power adapter. 3. Try known-good, firmly seated, charged battery. Repeat. 4. Connect power adapter and restart computer in 3-4 minutes. 5. Disconnect internal keyboard completely and try powering up unit. If unit powers up, replace keyboard. 6. Verify microprocessor card is firmly seated. 7. Replace sound card. 8. Replace power supply card. 9. Replace microprocessor board. 10.

Re: wallstreet and 256mb ram modules
I, too, have two 256 mb modules from OWC in my wallstreet, running OS X 10.2.6 I had them in there for over 3 months no trouble at all. I have had an unusual problem start up just recently, though. The start up can't finish because the computer can't find the hard drive hooked to it. I seriously doubt it is the memory modules causing this. But I've only been able to solve it (temporarily) by actually removing the hard drive and reinstalling it. I don't know for sure, but I don't like the way the hard drive fastens down, nor do I like the way the hard drive plugs into the CPU chip. I have bid on a motherboard on ebay for the wallstreet, thinking its the plug in site on the chip that is not getting a good connection. But, then again, I seem to be leaning on a software problem too. Whenever it does restart after one of these episodes, it starts up in OS 9.2. Sid B From: john hudak [EMAIL PROTECTED] In June 2003, I replaced two Ram modules (64mb/128mb) with two 256mb modules from OtherWorldComputing (OWC) for my wallstreet g3 powerbook, and had been having a lot of freezes in both OS X and OS 9. OWC says these modules work in the wallstreet, perhaps also some people like me who have been scratching their heads and thinking the problem was software related (which is what I thought). -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Wallstreets' pram batts have 6 cells each. Even at Digikey (or similar) prices a 6-pack o' VL2330s ain't exactly cheap. If you have other similar pram packs around, say from _any_ PB from Duo on, you could test individual cells and reuse those what still have a good charge.
