Virtual PC Update
For everyone that was harping on Microsoft for removing support for Linux or other non-MS operating systems from Virtual PC over the last week or so, you can put down your pitchforks and black helicopter theories. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1378286,00.asp Steve -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Kernel panics on 12 PBook
On 11/9/03 5:33 AM, Tom Burke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote (edited for length): Yesterday I experienced a run of kernel panics on my 12 PB. After the first panic occurred I was unable to reboot successfully - 4 or 5 successive reboot attempts all resulted in another panic during the reboot. However, I got a feeling that perhaps there was a problem with memory so I took out the 512Mb RAM module, ran the tests again with a base 128 Mbyte system and everything passed. Then I re-inserted the 512 Mb memory module, re-ran the tests, and once again everything was OK. Next step was a boot into single-user mode to run fsck, which also came up OK - no problems revealed. Finally a full reboot into normal mode was successful, and it's been OK since then, with a couple of reboots, and at least one 'wake from sleep'. It's possible that the ram became loose. I periodically have a problem with kernel panics when I pick my 12 pb by the left front. Turns out that, over time and with the jostling that comes of carry it everywhere, the Airport card comes every so slightly unseated. It's not enough to interfere with the Airport functions but it causes the panics. So, I take the card out, put it back and then everything is fine for several months. Could be a similar sort of thing. Meg -- PowerBook 12-inch,10.3, 640 MB RAM iChat: megsaint -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Pismo BlueChip Upgrade
Hello, Does anyone reading this newsletter, have any experience with upgrading a Pismo with the PowerLogix BlueChip processor? I ask because I've held the belief that the 400 Mhz Pismo and the 500 Mhz Pismo would have different final processor speeds, if the same chip was installed in each of them. I had thought the 400 Mhz Pismo wouldn't be as fast as the other version of Pismo. I'm now informed by a reliable source that my beliefs are incorrect. Will the system profiler be in error when calculating the processor speeds with that upgrade chip installed? Thanks. Tom -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Backup options?
I need to backup a G3 Pismo PowerBook (5 GB on hard drive, USB) and a G4 desktop (11 GB on hard drive, USB and Firewire). They are networked, so can back up individually or from either. Looking for inexpensive and efficient options, considering the external hard drive option; a LaCie Pocketdrive 40 GB at $219, or 60 GB at $329.

What I meant was that even though the card was apparently slightly loose, I still got a wireless connection, at least until I picked up the Pbook and crashed it. There was no noticeable loss of signal strength. No, I never ran the Test CD. I take my powerbook with me almost everywhere. Even thought it's in a padded case, it gets bounced around a bit.

Airport and Digitizing Music
Cross-posted. A couple of questions - 1) Got my new iBook w/out Airport, then found out that my favorite coffee shop offers free wireless internet. Will I void my warranty if I install the card myself? Can an iBook 700 use Airport Extreme? 2) I want to digitize a lot of LPs and tapes. This is all totally new to me - I understand that the limiting factor in getting as much of the original sound information into my computer is the quality of the sound card. Is the iBook's sound card adequate for top-quality ripping, or should I look at one of the external gadgets available? THanks in advance. = Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

The booklet that came with your iBook should have the instructions. It should also tell you which type of Airport card it will take.

Re: Yo yo bites the dust (cable that is)
It appears that the cord/cable that goes from the wall to my yo yo adapter has a break in it right near the adapter end. Tonight I noticed that the battery wasn't charging, and when I moved the cable, there is this pretty little bright white light that flashes about a half inch from the round cable end. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good source for one of these? I'm presuming that it is possible to just by the cable, not the whole power adapter. Doug Doug and Bernice Hinschberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Doug, I will assume your kids have not been playing yo yo with the yo yo or someone has not been using it to play frisbee with the dog... Recommendation 1. Stop using it now. I would assume arcing could cause a power surge and possible damage. I would not feel confident that the insides of the yo yo have not been damaged by the arcing. Greater minds then mine will chime in on how much the power is converted to supply the precise + or _ amount needed in your book and the limits of fluctuations. Look in the owners manual. Call Apple Care, if your book is covered. Apple Care is getting a little more corporate these days, so a call to them if applicable would be a good move on getting this replaced and putting them on notice this event happened.. Recommendation 2. Contact Apple and tell them the YO YO is arcing, I am sure they will send you a new one. This is a poor design and when I sent my Pismo in for repair the YO YO came back in this arcing condition, goes back to that corporate thing again. This Yo YO seems to be one of those designs that looks cool but with average wear and tear may hurt someone really hard someday. Please, Apple does need a real 5300 disaster, the 5300 did not even touch a consumers hand and the world believed, or 95% of it, that the 5300s were burning down homes and blowing up in users hands. That is another story, not Apples fault. I did not notice mine arcing until 2 days after I got my book back from repairs not related to the YO YO. In my case I leaned out of bed to pick it up and it arced bad enough to discolor the yo yo with a bright blue and white flash. My book was not plugged in. I like the small foot print of the yo yo but the connector should have been engineered out to be tougher. It's just asking for trouble as these yo yos start to age. The brick power plugs were heavy, but a built like a tank. I would take a tank over fire or possible damage to my computer any day. The line cord to the computer rolls nice. The wall plug will wear if you roll it. Speak to a Ms. Wells at Apple World Wide Support at the mother ship, I am sure she will be glad to help. Anyone lower and you will get a phone bank and get no where but around the phone tree. Go to the source. Good luck and I will give you the quote from Ms. Wells at Apple Corporate after they fessed up 2 days later that they indeed used or switched the yo yo and battery from my book, stop using the power supply immediately, continuation of the use of the power supply could cause serious injury that Apple will not be liable for. Recommendation 3. Let Apple off the hook, get one from ebay for 50 bucks or so. Sooner then later people will be pranged by this and that's a concern. I really love Apple products, but the only way to maintain the quality is hold their feet to the fire, no pun intended, and expect and accept nothing but the best. I mean hey it's only a power cord right, but the power cord problems of the 5300 should have made them wise that this is a weak road of RD not to travel again. Let them know you will not buy inferior products. That's the way Apple used to do business, it was like an extended family member. You felt like part of the company. You could count on opening the box and the computer worked and still works today. Now it seems their moving a little closer to that corporate thing, ROI over returned bad parts or worse,. better then the other choice by far, for now, hopefully for a long time. Recommendation 4.

Re: Virtual PC Update
Unless they are dropping support for the Mac, then what they say about VPC in general applies to the Mac version. They don't want to support people using Linux, and that isn't surprising in the least. It doesn't mean that Linux will suddenly stop working. VPC is designed so that you can't just set a magic flag that prevents an OS from working. On Nov 10, 2003, at 6:46 PM, Shawn Harley wrote: Steve, Looks like they are only talking about VPC for Windows and Linux. VPC for Mac is mentioned in the Nov. 2 release near the end, but no mention of Linux support there either. We'll just have to wait and see.

Re: Was Kernel panics on 12 PBook
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2003 13:30:21 -0500 Subject: Re: Kernel panics on 12 PBook From: Meg St. Clair [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 11/9/03 5:33 AM, Tom Burke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote (edited for length): Yesterday I experienced a run of kernel panics on my 12 PB. After the first panic occurred I was unable to reboot successfully - 4 or 5 successive reboot attempts all resulted in another panic during the reboot. However, I got a feeling that perhaps there was a problem with memory so I took out the 512Mb RAM module, ran the tests again with a base 128 Mbyte system and everything passed. Then I re-inserted the 512 Mb memory module, re-ran the tests, and once again everything was OK. Next step was a boot into single-user mode to run fsck, which also came up OK - no problems revealed. Finally a full reboot into normal mode was successful, and it's been OK since then, with a couple of reboots, and at least one 'wake from sleep'. It's possible that the ram became loose. I periodically have a problem with kernel panics when I pick my 12 pb by the left front. Turns out that, over time and with the jostling that comes of carry it everywhere, the Airport card comes every so slightly unseated. It's not enough to interfere with the Airport functions but it causes the panics. So, I take the card out, put it back and then everything is fine for several months. Could be a similar sort of thing. Meg -- PowerBook 12-inch,10.3, 640 MB RAM iChat: megsaint This is really not related to G-Books, however it's one of only 2 list I'm on. Perhaps someone here can help us? We have kernel panics on a G4 dual 1.25 (using 10.2.6) regularly . The first time we took screen shots with a digital camera talked for hours on the telephone with Apple Japan. (Of course we did try everything we could think of first, taking out Ram modules, etc.) (By the way, we had more trouble with Apples Ram then our own.) Apple had it for over 1 week, returned and still same problem. More digital screen shots were taken, this time Apple kept it for almost 1 month. Recently, it's doing the same thing again, only now you can't even see a inserted DVD or CD on the desktop. (That means we cannot even test it ourselves, by having a clean install of system. Toast will recognize the Pioneer Drive, there is just nothing mounted on the desktop.) now, Apple replaced so many parts the first time including here's a list: Replaced the Mother Board and Main logic board as far as I can see. However, they did not replace the in out controller nor anything to do with in and out as far as I can see. It was not spelled out on the receipt just in initials of tech terms, making it appear as Greek or I should say Geek. Now, I am no technician, but the screen shot had i/o listed 6 or seven times, to me this is a in out problem, that's about the only thing they did not replace. Apples world wide policy on this kind of thing needs a more closer look by Apple, they must be losing money on this problem. Man hours spent, time wasted, etc, they have got to be losing money on this. As for us, we cannot use this computer. (we do have 9 more Macs here. That machine is a brand new machine, just has 4 more months of warranty.) This is the first time I have ever seen this kind of incompetence, they should have replaced it to begin with. Now, I'm debating on even purchasing a G5 here, if we have to go through this again? My Ti500 went bad the first week, they replaced it the next week with a new one, I fail to see the difference, it's been working for 2 and half years. Does anybody have any ideas? My idea, send it back wait another month for the PC to return, we all know what PC stands for don't we? Sorry, too long, Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Kernel Panic
Not to be the dumbest kid on the blockbut...exactly what is a kernel panic? I am running 10.3 on a Pismo 400 (2 1/2 yrs old) and an imac 400 se (4 yrs old) and don't think that I have ever had one on either machine. What are the symptoms of this event?
