Re: Panther on Lombard install problem
Folks: Don't know if this will resolve your problem but it may be worth a try. boot up into open firmeware (Apple-Option-O-F) at the prompt type reset-nvram (without the quotes) then hit return type set-defaults then return type reset-all then return the machine should now reboot (if it doesn't type mac-boot and hit return) This is a fix I picked up somewhere a while ago that does seem to fix odd problems from time to time. It came from an Apple tech (at least that is what I was told) and I'm not completely sure what it does although I believe it is somewhat akin to resetting parameter ram (may be the same thing in fact) or it may be that and then some. Anyhow, as I said, it does fix some odd problems from time to time and it has never caused me any trouble. ... e On Dec 30, 2003, at 8:51 PM, Richard Smykla wrote: Robert, I had the exact same problem during the install. The only way I could find to complete the install was to remove the RAM from the upper slot. No amount of PRAM zapping, video driver deletion, permissions repairing, or even reformatting the destination drive would change the 'color-meltdown' abortive install process. Removing the top-slot RAM worked. BTW, running an exhaustive RAM check utility from OS 9 finds NO problem with the memory module, and I never saw a similar problem in any version of OS X from 10.1 up to 10.2.6. The good news is you can reinstall the RAM module once you've got a working Panther OS. Everything works as it should, with one major exception: trying to repair permissions using Disk Utility. Since installing Panther on this machine, any attempt to repair permissions from the boot disk will cause the color-meltdown every time. The only other time I've gotten the meltdown event is during a large ( 200MB) network copy from the Lombard to my G4. Smaller copies seem OK. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it seems the video RAM gets corrupted during these operations, and locks the system up tight (no cursor movement or response to keyboard) - the three-finger salute is the only thing that will get you out of this condition. It seems clear (to me at least) that this is a (OS) software problem/conflict. Hope someone eventually figures this out, or Apple supplies a fix. Being as it only happens when more than the supported amount of RAM (256MB) is installed, I doubt Apple is too concerned with this. This problem only began happening with the 10.2.8 version of the OS, and has persisted through the 10.3.2 revision.

Re: Combo drives for WallStreet
JOHN.E.ABRAHAM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: A little while ago, see part of previous message below, information was sought for a DVD/CDRW combo drive for a Wallstreet. I know I have seen some mention of a CDRW for this model some years back but I am still searching my archive Magazines for the info. In the mean time a Google search has brought up a Lowendmac archive with some useful info for a DVD ROM/CDRW for this model. Thanks for looking this up. I especially liked that these are compatible with OS X. However with a total of $449 + $99 I still would prefer a cheaper non burning solution. For that kind of money I could get as Pismo and max its RAM. So unless portable CD burning really is the issue, I fail to see how this solution is attractive. I find my yet to be proven to if it really can work idea to use a 500 mhz G4 upgrade and standard OEM CD/DVD drive to play DVDs to be more interesting. After all a 500 mhz G4 in a wallstreet can play DivX movies without any major problem, which really is taxing on the CPU. Why would MPG2 decoding be so much harder? Even if the total for a combo drive and a G4 card would be up in the same price range ($5-600), one would have a 500 mhz G4, not a 400 or 500 mhz G3 like would be the case if one went for a Pismo instead. Also, with a plain OEM CD/DVD drive total would be around $400 including the G4 upgrade. Cheaper if one could get it second hand. This suggestion, a G4 card and an OEM CD/DVD with or without burning capability, have so far been ignored on this list, but does it really totally lack merit? Then why not present the basis for this, so I and others can put it out of our minds? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It works fine under 9.2.2, illuminating over the full brightness range. It looks like a software problem. Does any one have any clues as to what is going wrong and how to fix it? I don't know if it applies but I ran into something similar. I have a Wallstreet running 10.2.6. In my case, following a crash the backlighting would initially light up during boot but would later black out. Once the system booted I could hit the brightness button and it would light up. But if I put it to sleep and then woke it up the screen would not light up and there was no response from the brightness button. The solution I found was to restart in OS 9.2.2 then put it to sleep and wake it back up again.
