No. Haven't tried that-- I did the typical RAM upgrade-- took out the
original pair of 64mb cards, replaced them with the 256ers...
Yet, it did run for over a year with the new RAM installed before these
things started cropping up...

Re: Orinoco Gold on Lombard

Also, does that driver work on Panther?  I know they have versions out for
Jag and 10.1 but nothing on their site refers to Panther.  Does that mean
the project is dead, or is it just moving really really slowly?

That's the one thing keeping me from moving to OS X.

Unknown source of Freezing Wallstreet

[Sid Barras]

Hi All,

My wallstreet (266mhz, 512mb RAM) has managed to cling to a chronic problem
of freezing only moments after startup (most of the time).

I say "Cling" to the problem, because it is still there after these steps to
correct it:

different hard drive.
Reinstalled system folders.
Modem board reinstalled.
Hard drive caddy and connecting hardware (the plug-in to the hard drive that
plugs into the logic board.)
Different versions of system. (OS 9, 9.1, 9.2)
Starting up from remote hard drive.
Starting up from Norton Systemworks and running Norton Disk Doctor.
Starting up with no extensions.
Starting up with various other extension combinations.

And probably some other things I've forgotten I did and probably repeated
too.

The thing that puzzles me the most is the first item I've tried. Surely a
completely different hard drive would do it.

Thoughtful logic would say the problem is within the logic board, or
something in the computer that has remained the same throughout the process,
thereby indicating a "hardware" problem. But which part?

Should I now simply start changing the other components of the wallstreet?
Thank God for my trusty old pb 1400-- never has given me a bit of trouble,
is faster than the wallstreet (it has a nice upgraded CPU-- G3 466mhz) but,
damn, that RAM limit...


Thanks to all for thoughtful suggestions.
Sid B

Maybe a loose connection inside, could be where the ribbon display cable
plugs onto the motherboard. Could be a damaged display cable. You would have
to open the Pismo to find out, I'm afraid...

Re: 10.3.2 on Pismo?

[Gavin Tiplady]

Thanks Eric,

I had a huge number of entries in my 'machines' repository in the 
NetInfo manager (blocking ad server sites and redirecting them to 
localhost), and when I blew them away Safari speeded right up.  The 
clue was that it was slow until it had resolved the address of a new 
web site, then once inside that site it was fast.

cheers,
GT
GT

Your Safari problem is an oddity. I'm running Safari on a Pismo under 
Panther and it works great. Have you run Disk Permission Repair (in 
Disk Utility)? If not, do so and it will probably fix the problem. If 
not, create a new user and try Safari under that new user. If it works 
normally, you're going to have to get into the Library folder and 
start killing Safari preferences/cache files, etc. (after, of course, 
backing up) to sort out the problem.

good luck ... e

Hi Sam,

I did an upgrade from Jaguar to Panther on my Pismo (G3/400, 1Gb 
RAM), and have updated to 10.3.2 since.

There is nothing to complain about, except a feeling - now a certain 
knowledge, that Safari is so sluggish as to be almost broken.

When I click links on a page on the Pismo then turn leisurely across 
to click the same link on my lower powered Wallstreet (G3/292, 256Mb 
running 10.2.6) the latter fetches and repaints instantly - long 
before the Pismo.

Not sure whether Safari was faster under 10.3.1 though, and generally 
the Pismo is completely stable, so I can't point to any particular 
issue with 10.3.2.

Re: Trying to boot Wallstreet from external SCSI disk

In OS 9.1 I can boot from a bootable Jaz disk connected to my
Wall Street via the HDI-30 SCSI adapter by holding
down the Option+Cmd+Delete+Shift keys.
mmm.. it seems to make it do something differently - instead of the 
floating SCSI icon indicating target disk mode I get a pure white 
screen, but the boot doesn't proceed.

Thanks anyway,

Never heard of USB file tranfering, but infared might work.  That is,

No.

Is this a File Sharing exercise, and how do
I do it from the Dell side?
Basically you need to connect both computers via a ethernet crossover 
cable or through an ethernet hub, then you need either DAVE on the Mac 
or PC-MacLan on the PC so you can see each other's shared drives.

Neither is a particularly cheap solution.

OTOH, if you upgrade to OSX 10.3 on that mac of yours, no problemo! 
share away! set the native file sharing on both systems, enable 
'Windows file Sharing' in the sharing control panel of OS X and you're

(Still have to connect via ethernet, not USB)

Connecting my Lombard to a Pc

[Tom Meade]

Never thought about it until now - but I'd like to
hook up with my girlfriend's Dell (they all seem to have
Dells - fishing in shallow water?) and really don't know
what to expect. Can she copy my files to her drive under
OS 9 via USB. Is this a File Sharing exercise, and how do
I do it from the Dell side?
Thanks, Tom

Re: PRAM/Backup battery in WallStreet - Battery Reset

[JOHN.E.ABRAHAM]

Hello Listers,

Thank you all for the additional info,

I did notice the link to the site for good battery prices and will 
also try the battery reset programme.

I have noticed that the battery is not being seen by the PB.  It 
reports that the LH media bay is empty and there are no leads alight 
on the side of the battery.This I suspect is because I did not 
use it over the Christmas / New Year period and beyond.The 
battery must be flat and thus the Pram also, as without any power in 
the main battery the Pram discharged as well.

As for Jim's problem I am not sure if it relates to the PRAM as the 
sign normally is that the date has reset to the year 1904.Showing 
that the PRAM has run out of charge if the PB is keeping time but 
loosing or gaining seconds this may be another  fault.


My Wallstreet Date & Time function consistently seems to lose about
15-30 seconds as evidenced by the adjustment that occurs almost every
time when I tell the control panel to manually "set time now".  It
seems oblivious to the interval between those checks.  Also, it may
actually be more serious since the CPanel is supposed to auto-check
for differences often anyway and I am merely noting what changes the
auto function has not fixed.
Is this kind of thing clearly indicative of bad PRAM battery?  I have
not noted other problems other than the usual aggravating random
crashes that dog me from time to time.
Thanks, Jim

For sure, that's the first thing to do if you haven't had it on
external power for an extended period lately.
As we are talking WallStreets here, don't forget the Apple Battery Reset
application (sorry, don't have the link handy).
This application has revived my WallStreet battery several times, when I
might otherwise have assumed the battery was dead (no longer holding any

I know that a few times I have run out of battery power completely and
probably the PRAM/backup battery has run out as well. The main battery
refuses to recharge until it is reset by Battery Reset. Maybe a sign of a
faulty power manager board (also quite common, it seems).
Worth a shot...

Mike
Thanks again John Abraham.

Re: Keep my pismo or ??

On 2/3/04, Geoffrey Loeffler wrote:

> So let the opinions roll, new- used -stay-upgrade 

Since I have a (for now, not working) Pismo (till I can afford the 
repairs to the sound/I-O card and a new battery), so I'm a tad biased. 
Previously have had IIcx, Quadra 700, and inherited my brother's Rev. A 
iMac, so my experience is also with older systems.

But speaking for myself, I am also waiting on Apple to come out with as 
well-featured of a 'Book as the Pismo, preferably with the Pismo's visual 
appeal! For me, the TiBooks and AlBooks look like metal bricks (pizazz? 
NOT!), and the iBooks, while looking a bit better than the metalBooks, 
still is plain when I compare it to the Pismo's lines.

So I'm hoping Apple will get beyond plain, boring lines for their 'Books 
again and make them interesting to view - meanwhile, I'll fix up my 
Pismo, and maybe get another clean, used one (off eBay or elsewhere) and 
upgrade it as much as feasible and financially worthwhile.

My .02,

Jim Rohde

In OS 9.1 I can boot from a bootable Jaz disk connected to my
Wall Street via the HDI-30 SCSI adapter by holding
down the Option+Cmd+Delete+Shift keys.

Maybe it still works under OS X?

Networkable Laser MFC

[Eric Morrison]

Hi:

I'm looking for a networkable laser MFC (print, copy, fax are our 
critical uses... scanning not so much) for my boss. I'm looking at the 
Brother 8420 (with D-Link network interface) that has Postscript 
emulation and should work fine over the network (anyone tried this?) 
and the higher end 8820DN (although this machine is probably too 
expensive for us). Anyone have any experience with the Brother machines 
or have another machine they'd recommend? We have an HP 3330 in our 
office that works okay but it's also expensive and I don't love how it 
works. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

... Eric

MAC PBK PRAM/Backup battery in WallStreet

Re: Wallstreet, pram battery, and other battery question

[peter webster]

You mean, even I can write a bad sentence? Shocked, I am.

Erm,.. you used a pool cue to get the price down to $300?!?
You're meant to be "bartering" not "battering"...

I found my Wallstreet in a pawn shop. It was $300 with a nice
carrying case, the video adaptor, charger, and a battery that holds a
good charge. And a working PRAM battery. They wanted $350, but we got
it at $300 with a nifty pool cue. Check the pawn shops.

Look for some means of exporting your addresses from hotmail. If text

can import it into Mozilla and then export as ldif.

Re: Keep my pismo or ??

[markemmanuel]

I'd wait a few more months to a year since the G5 will be going into 
the books soon.  as someone has said, the iBooks and Powerbooks don't 
have the great features that the Pismo had.  Applw has been working to 
replace the G4 in their high end products.  In addition to the new 
64bit processor, they're throwing in new tech.

Personally, I'm waiting until the OS and one of my commonly used 
applications becomes a 64 bit app.  Then I'll switch.

The great thing about Panther is the fact that it made my computer much 
faster.  Unfortuantely, it killed my battery. :(

Re: Orinoco Gold on Lombard

[Richard Smykla]

Noel,

Worked well for me. Open source drivers are here:

The only quirks: Install twice for a working setup, and don't 
remove/install the card unless the machine is powered down.

IOExperts also has commercial ($19.95) drivers, though I haven't tried them:

Others available too, but I know these two will work with your 
specific hardware. HTH.

Rick

I want to use the Orinoco Gold card on a Lombard with OS X (10.2.8).
Is that a good combination? Where can I find the drivers?
Thanks,
Noel.

Erm,.. you used a pool cue to get the price down to $300?!?  
You're meant to be "bartering" not "battering"...

Trying to boot Wallstreet from external SCSI disk

[Gavin Tiplady]

Wallstreet 292Mhz - 256Mb - Mac OS X 10.2.6.

As recommended by people on this list in relation to an earlier query 
(thank you!) I have acquired a second hand external SCSI drive (68 pin 
enclosure containing HP 18.2Gb SCSI 3 LVD/SE drive) in order to perform 
backups - and restores - using the beloved Carbon Copy Cloner.

The disk was recognized after a reboot (quite hard to get used to 
having to reboot all the time after years of Firewire!) and formatted, 
and CCC used to clone my Mac OS X image into a partition slightly less 
than 8Gb at the 'start' of the 18Gb drive.

However when I try and boot from the newly copied image (i.e. set it 
using StartUp Disk and reboot), the Mac simply goes into target disk 
mode, displaying the floating SCSI symbol instead of booting.

What am I doing wrong?

Is it because I have not yet terminated the external drive? (terminator 
still coming in the mail and I thought it safe to have a play!).  Or 
should I not be using wide SCSI with the Apple HDI-30 connector?

The cabling is as follows: the original HDI 30 that came with the 
Wallstreet plugged into its SCSI port, and that cable ends in a 50 pin 
female Centronics plug, then joined to a cable that goes from 50 pin 
male Centronics to the 68 pin male plug required by the external 
enclosure.

Any suggestions very welcome thanks.
