Somewhat OT: looking for spyware tools
Every once in a while I hit the disconnect on Remote Access Status but for some reason the computer (Wall Street upgraded to a G4/500 and running OS 9.1) tries to dial out again. I have Virex 6.1 and scanned the System Folder again with no results but if it's spyware I wouldn't expect an anti-virus program to do much good.

pcmcia firewire recommendations? (was newertech firewire 2 go...)
howdy folks! thank you for all the firewire information! from the below two qutoed messages, i've pretty much figured out that either the newertech card is bad, or the odd adapter between the card and the female firewire connector is bad. i can use my usb pcmcia card with the maxtor 5000dv with no problem...it is even fast enough for me to burn cds on my powerbook with the mce cdrw in the right bay. with the newertech firewire 2 go card, i get the firewire icon in os9.2.2, but no drive boots up, no matter whether i restart/plug-unplug the firewire connection after restart/or powerup-powerdown the maxtor drive. in os10.2.6, i get nothing. the usb card works on both systems very well. i am using a generic wallstreet g3/266 with 512mb ram (my powerlogix g3/466 card seems to have burnt out). i seem to have no problems with most applications with this setup. what i'd like to know is what firewire pcmcia cards people have that work well with the wallstreets. it seems owc has their own model, with a number of other cards available...all at different prices...it would be helpful to know if the cheaper one is just as good as the most expensive...i.e. $30 to $79: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Page.cfm?Parent=1009Title=PowerBook%20AccessoriesTemplate= thanks for any information! best future, john 1) I have this card on a g3 wall street and run it successfully on OS( and 10.1 and 10.2 now. You should get an image of a card in the menu bar under OS10.2, but not 10.1 In OS9 an image of the card appears on the desktop. In OS 9 there are two extensions which need to be switched on for firewire. One of them incorporates drivers for the card. IN OS X no additional drivers are needed. I use mine exclusively for a formac cd burner, at the moment. About to add an external hard drive when it arrives. Absolutley no problem with Jaguar II assure you. Perhaps it is your peripheral device that is not being recognised. I remember that with toast, the formac cd rw was not recognised. But with Apple's own cd burner it is. So I ditched Toast, as unnecessary. 2) From my experience-- In my WS 266 (os 9.2.1) I note that my NewerTech pc card, like all my pc cards, must be carefully seated in either slot. If you are not careful, you may misseat it and even damage the cage--apply slight pressure to keep it going in level but pulled up toward the top or pushed a little toward the bottom. I always put mine in the top, but it may do just as well in the bottom. There is a spring loading of sorts so you do have to push harder right before the limit is reached going in. Some dexterity required--probably why a lot of cages in Wallstreets wind up damaged. Mine was replaced under Applecare once. But guess who damaged it--a technician, while it was in for motherboard replacement. BTW, I had to buy a newer firewire card, from Western Digital, to work with the firewire drive I bought. Newer was not new enough. -- john hudak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.johnhudak.net -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: pcmcia firewire recommendations? (was newertech firewire 2 go...)
There is a new Firewire 800 card out by Lacie. However it uses a separate power supply because it is 800, and cannot be supplied with enough power from the host computer, as I understand. Check it out. However, it is not the 800 speed is compromised by the seek time of your peripheral device. So for example a new Western Digital 1000 rpm is best, but have limited size, much less than 160 GB (I think about 60 MB offhand). Conclusion: Your Maxtor should be fine with any Firewire 400, such as OCW. 10/1/04 10:57 am -0500 john hudak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: what i'd like to know is what firewire pcmcia cards people have that work well with the wallstreets. it seems owc has their own model, with a number of other cards available...all at different prices...it would be helpful to know if the cheaper one is just as good as the most expensive...i.e. $30 to $79: regards, John -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

NeXT Laser Printer from Mac
I have a question regarding printing to NeXT Laser Printer from the Mac. I have the printer connected to a NeXTstation, and can print to it from the NeXT no problem. The desktop printer is set up on the Mac, and the printer utility verifies that the printer does exist at the specified IP (ergo, I think that the Mac can see the printer, no problem). However, when I try to print to it, the queue on the Mac generates error -8827, and nothing comes out of the printer--in fact, the spooled file on the Mac never goes to the NeXT, and opening the queue on the Mac shows the file, with a message ##.#k left to send or something close to that. I know that one is supposed to be able to print to the NeXT printer as an internet printer from the Mac, and AFAIC this should now be up and running, but is not. What gives?! Any ideas? I'm running OS 8.2.2 on the PBG3, LaserWriter v.8.7.1, and with NeXT Level I PPD in the printer description folder (I've modified it to reflect language level II). NeXT is under OpenStep 4.2, running PPD for Level II Postscript Laser Printer. TIA for any advice on this one. -- Regards, Dante McLean Dante McLean Photography [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- NeXTmail soon to be welcome!

I feel a very slight tingle, but haven't noticed anything that I can trace back to that. If you are feeling a continuous tingle the problem is leakage current in the power supply. Because of capacitance that exists between the otherwise isolated AC to DC line power supply, a small amount of the AC line voltage leaks into the DC output. In a desktop computer this current is conducted to ground by the ground wire on the AC cord, but on a laptop there is no ground wire. When I go running and come home and use my powerbook at the kitchen table with my feet in sweaty socks on a ceramic tile floor, my body provides the path for this leakage current to get to ground. The left edge of my tiBook frame has lost its paint because of abrasion from my watch band. When skin brushes up against bare metal, a slight tingle can be felt. Anodization is non-conductive, so an AlBook without scratches should not tingle your skin if your body is grounded. Paul Thanks, Paul. I don't get a continuous tingle, just a slight momentary one that tells me that I've just discharged some static electricity via the PowerBook. Once that happens, there's no further discharge or tingle. Having been used to the old clamshell iBook, the aluminum PowerBook is a new experience (in a variety of ways).
