Re: iPod off my Pismo
I am looking at the new mini iPods, they require 6 pin fire wire or USB 2. My Pismo has a 4 wire firewire fire wire and USB 1. So does this put me out of the market for the new mini iPods ? Thanks Geoff Are you sure? I thought every firewire port on macs was the 6-pin type (I never owned a Pismo, though, so maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong).

Re: Panther and Canon digital Rebel
I just bought Canon's i860 photo printer and it works great in 9.2.2 (when I use 9) and in OSX Panther. The ink status is a little off in the software, but everything else worked from the start. I have to say, these are impressive printers, beautiful results, uses very little ink and is faster than most laser printers. Hope this helps on the printer question.

Re: iBook as External Hard Drive
Robin Ashe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My Brother's Dell has a FireWire port. I guess we'll just find out if it works. Barring that, is there a USB Target Disk Mode? You know, it would be convenient to have a Target Disk Mode (TDM) in USB. And I see no reason that couldn't have been arranged, since TDM existed for SCSI, long before USB was around. The main reason was probably because the USB1 that came with Macs until recently is rather slow for moving disk-fuls of data. I don't think the designers of TDM expected that many of us would use it as a simple and convenient form of sneaker net, to just move a file or three from one 'puter to another. But that's exactly what I use it for. Back to your problem: I'd suggest you just buy a small, inexpensive, portable enclosure for your 2.5 internal HD, put the drive in the enclosure, and then connect it to the next computer. This way you avoid any motherboard problems you may be having on the iBook, and can salvage the data. Such enclosures are available as USB, Firewire, or combo. They can be bought from Other World Computing (eshop.macsales.com), New Egg (newegg.com), Computer Geeks (geeks.com), Cooler Express (coolerexpress.com), Wiebe Tech (wiebetech.com), and a number of other vendors. The one thing you want to be sure of before buying is that the 2.5 drive in your laptop will actually fit inside the enclosure--your iBook may have a 12mm high drive, but many of these enclosures will only accept 9mm high or thinner. For example, there is a $20 USB enclosure at newegg.com which I believe will accept the thicker drives, item #N82E16817146304. A combo enclosure is $39, item #N82E16817146027, but it doesn't say how thick a drive can be accomodated. I own one of the $25 dual firewire enclosures from Cooler Express (item #HD-227FW) and am very happy with it (I think it'll accpet 12mm high drives, too). Wiebe sells docks, which are the firewire interface without the overshell, and can be useful for people who do a lot of drive-swapping--where a protective enclosure just gets in the way. They ain't cheap, though! Good luck. --Jim. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

FW disk mode crashed host
I have hooked up a 1 GHz TiBook (OS 10.3.2) in FW disk mode to a Lombard 333 (10.2.8) via PC card FW. This connection kept crashing the Lombard. I was only able to transfer small amounts of data at one time, but sooner or later it would crash. This surprised me, as I had previously connected a 700 MHz iBook (Panther) in FW target mode to the same Lombard and transferred reliably several GBs of data. After the crashes with the TiBook, I tried again the iBook and the connection tourned out fine. Has anyone had similar issues? Could be the mismatch Panther-Jaguar would cause this (not very likely)? I have heard that Panther has some unresolved issues concerning support of FW through a PC card, I don't know if this would apply in my case (the computer which crashes and has the PC card runs Jaguar). Also: I intend to upgrade the Lombard to Panther. Does anyone have this and uses FW through a card? Does it work? By the way, the card is an Oxford MK4309MAT if that matters. cheers, gianfrancoo -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Michael Richardson On thing many of us overlook is Keychain. Right there in the system, it can save passwords and other things. I can also give a somewhat partial recommendation of Passwords Plus from DataViz. It's a Palm application that also runs on the Mac (OS X only). The partial part is that it stopped working for me (didn't recognize it's own password on the desktop, but works fine on the Palm OS) and I emailed DataViz about this (having gone through their suggested fix online). It's been several days and I haven't heard back from them yet.
