OT: noisy fan!
A bit off-topic, but didn't know where to ask. The fan on the Radeon card in my PowerMac Blue White is becoming noisy. Is there anyway to make it quieter before ultimately disconnecting it? Would disconnecting it have any ill effect? I'm guessing that if they put a fan on it, there must be a good reason... -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] brain dump n.: [common] The act of telling someone everything one knows about a particular topic or project.

Does anyone have any procedures to get it started, and failing that, is it worth replacing the motherboard? The motherboard and processor card got the worst soaking. Thanks. Hi Brendan, You might want to remove, visually inspect the processor and then reseat it firmly. Another potential cause is the RAM itself. If the banks of RAM are stained/damaged you could try removing them and trying with known good memory banks. That said, if you are eventually unable to get it working, I'd be very interested in buying it off you, as I'm putting together a Pismo from spare parts. If you decide it's not worth your while to repair it (likely, given the cost of repairs and the price of used powerbooks nowadays), do let me know about selling it as is.

Re: Camera Not Connected

Why can't I capture from my camera? This is the third time you've asked this question. iMovie expects to see the video camera at the built in Firewire port. This is the way it is coded. Of course, the Wallstreet does *not* have a built-in Firewire port. I no longer do video on my Wallstreet, but I used to. I have used iMovie with a cardbus firewire card (though maybe that was iMovie 1, it was a while ago). The camcorder was not always recognized, often depending on the kind of tape it contained - this was an often debated problem at the time. S I'd suggest to try and play some different tapes on the camcorder and see if it makes a difference - sometimes, just replacing the tape for a while made the camcorder be recognized and then I could but back the tape I intended and all was well. If you can't have iMovie work with your setting, I strongly advise you use BTV Pro (http://www.bensoftware.com). It is Mac OS 9 and X compatible, very solid, compatible with any video source, and has quite a few great features (time-lapse capture, dv device control, etc). Well worth the shareware fee.

Pismo Rubber feet.
As reported previously, I've used round, hemispherical clear feet/bumperws from the hardware store for some time and prefer them over the original black feet. (They should look better than a glop of hot glue.) Nonetheless, give it a try. For those that insist on a black foot, is hot glue available in black? The feet may also be available in black, as well - I've seen black square feet, not round ones. Square feet would definitely look nasty. Relative to the black feet, they stay put way longer, grip my inclined workstation far better, and put a bit more space between the Pismo and the desk for ventilation. It is possible to find these things in the exact size of the recesses that the old black feet fit in. For longer lasting results and appearance, I recommend you clean out vestiges of the old stickum out of the recesses first. GooGone? I replaced all of the black feet during my first year of ownership of the Pismo in 2000. Only two have come off since then, and probably due to being bumped/scraped directly. The originals seemed to peel off if the PB was slid across a reasonably grippy surface. May replace them all again as they have yellowed and are a bit scuffed. Think the originals were 3M brand - other brands may or may not adhere as well. YMMV. Think this issue has been beaten to death, but carry on if you wish.

External Firewire HD issue ...
Hi: I have an external Firewire HD that I'm currently using as a backup disk for the HD on my Titanium Powerbook. I purchased it from Piranha Technology (http://www.pirahnatechnology.com/index.asp) over a year ago and it seems to work fine (after I sent a previous one back to them and they swapped it out for me for a newer one). However, this is my delimma. I want to update to Panther from Jaguar, but I want to backup my Titanium HD before updating to Panther (I use Synchronize Pro X as my BU software ... with the backup being a bootable image). However, I want to update my external Firewire Drive from Piranha before doing so. I have attempted to get a hold of Piranha, but their tech support email was bounced back to me ... I cannot get a hold of them via the phone. What I want is to know what patch has to be applied to the drive I have from them (a list of those found here ... http://www.apple.com/macosx/firewire800specialmessage.html). Is there a way I can determine which flavor of Oxford my drive is so I can apply the update? Also, when trying to get a hold of Piranha, I eventually turned to the Better Business Bureau in their area. The BBB told me they have a history of not returning phone calls, emails going unanswered, merchandise sent that is faulty, etc., etc. I told the BBB that Pirahna is using the BBB logo on their website and that really caught her interest. I would not do any business with them ... I thought I was saving some bucks, now it's coming back to haunt me. Any ideas there ... or can I just upgrade to Panther 10.3.1 and not worry about the Firewire glitch with the external drive? A 2nd item ... I want to move all my stuff from my current Tibook to a new Superdrive Tibook. My wife is getting my current one that only has a combo-drive. Can I just image my HD over to the new Superdrive one? Is there a better way of doing that ... I'm afraid I'll lose items on the new Superdrive book that aren't on the combo drive book. I've never done a target FW hookup, I know it's not difficult ... I just want to make sure I'm not overwriting anything that I'd miss later on. I've also been holding off buying a Family Pack of Panther until the CD's are burned with the 10.3.1 (and have the .1 update). Is there any logic to that or should I just go ahead and get it. I have a broadband connection, so downloading or burning a CD of the update is not an issue. I'd just like to have the most current copy of the OS ... according to the rumour sites, yet another release (.2) is about ready to come out that solves even a few more items.

Re: External Firewire HD issue ...
I had a Piranha drive and after almost a year of dealing with them I finally tossed it, as it was so unreliable that it was not worth messing with. Piranha was of absolutely no help at all during a year of basically one way communication with them-I communicated, they failed to respond most of the time. Tom Also, when trying to get a hold of Piranha, I eventually turned to the Better Business Bureau in their area. The BBB told me they have a history of not returning phone calls, emails going unanswered, merchandise sent that is faulty, etc., etc. I told the BBB that Pirahna is using the BBB logo on their website and that really caught her interest. I would not do any business with them ... I thought I was saving some bucks, now it's coming back to haunt me. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I tend to stay away from the haxies other than themes, simply because I usually don't need em, and unless they use APE, are a risk I don't feel like taking for a feature I never used when it was available under OS 9. This effect was without any additional software under 10.3, and now under 10.3.1, before I started adding my personal packages/etc that didn't just drag/drop into my Apps folder. My issue seems to be related to resolution switching, although it sometimes happens randomly on my Lombard when the screen is supposed to update.
