Modem keeps redialing in Jaguar
Hi there, With a new imac I find the modem keeps redialling after disconnection. Even if I have switched all applications off. I have to put the computer to sleep to stop it! I am on a dial up connection. IN the network preferences I have selected 'automatically connct..' but this shouldn't cause the problem. Any suggestions ? I ran OS X jaguar before, of problems of this kind. regards, John bye, john plum -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Modem keeps redialing in Jaguar
As a coincidence, in another list that I'm subscribed, someone mentioned that his computer was having serious problems, and after several trips to the shop (authorized Mac) he finally found by himself that it was a bad modem . If you can, try using a different one and see if it cures the symptoms. Hector I.

dead Tibook == dead backup battery?
I have a Tibook 400 that I broke the power socket on, so the pbook wasn't getting power (battery wasn't charging, etc). I bought a new logic board on Ebay (it's a 500MHz board, so I got a speed boost out of the deal as well). The logic board swap was tricky, but seems to have worked ok--the main batteries are charging now, but the machine is otherwise dead--no response when I try to power it on. It sat for several months with no power whatsoever (no AC, no battery). Is it possible the PRAM backup battery has died? Is that something that would produce the symptoms I'm seeing?

Pivot lcd and osx
Hi My employer just bought a Lcd screen (Samsung SyncMaster 173T) for my 12 PowerBook (1Ghz, 256, Panther). It is a Pivot screen and its macintosh compatible (or so they say). But the Pivot function does not seem to work. A quick Google search gives me the impression that the pivot function does not work for osx. Are there anyone who knows anything about this problem?

I've used my HP PSC 2510 networked all-in-one from my Wallstreet - 9.2.2 - and my PB G4 17 - 10.3.2 - and the 2500 driver is definitely happier with OS X than OS 9. Though it did work with OS 9, for both printing and scanning, I had a vague feeling it made the machine less stable (hard to tell with my flaky Wallstreet) and every time I shut down it would quit unexpectedly as part of the shutdown process. Plus it would NEVER print from MS Word 5.1, though it would from pretty much everything else I tried it with. It's a different driver than the 2400 one - at least the networking part has to be - but sounds like there are similarities (after all, the printers are, if I'm thinking of the right ones, the same except for the networking ability).

Re: Wallstreet and Brother HL-1240 Printer
Hi Listers, My USB issue has been solved. My brother ( a SuSe Linux user ) pointed me in the direction of this site with a log of discussions regarding a USB problem The info on: http://www.macintouch.com/mos9usb.html was very useful. When time permitted me to read it in detail I found out that I was not alone in the problem I was trying to solve. The extensions on: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech/ftp/usb/usbextensions.sit were the answer. I created a folder on two floppies. One to hold the new extensions, the other to copy the old ones into in case of a problem.When this was done the old ones trashes from the computer not the floppies. All I did then was to shutdown and then reboot. When I checked the chooser and the ASP the printer was identified and selected in the chooser. A small email was selected to print and this was done with ease. Hope this helps other listers with the same problem.

Unfortunately I still have the same problem APS sees the card bus card but not the location of the printer.

Dan, I don't know if this will help or not, but I can send a report of what GestLab has selected for my Pismo and for my Wallstreet. Unfortunately, I don't have a Lombard (anyone wanna give me one? ;-), so I can't compare Apples to ... er... yeah. Would that be helpful to you? The Pismo and Wallstreet should have significant differences. But I can't think of too many that would be different between the Pismo and Lombard. bclk should be one (Pismo @ 100MHz bus clock, Lombard @ 66MHz, right?), pclk might also be one (though that might be the same for the 400MHz models). Other than that, have you considered that mabye BR also probes the hardware? Does anyone know for certain that the charging circuit/PMU are identical in the Pismo and Lombard? It could be that the PMU uses a different ASIC that doesn't understand the BR reset code - essentially the battery power connector has a simple serial port implementation that is probably pretty dependent on specific hardware... I don't know about any of the G3s, but a 5300 has what boils down to a Motorola 6502 (!!) as it's PMU controller. Sorry that I can't help you with MacsBug - I know next to nothing about the debugger.

I assumed it wanted OSX and but I don't intend to go there so returned it. It never did print but, like you said, was seen by the Chooser. I've used my HP PSC 2510 networked all-in-one from my Wallstreet - 9.2.2 - and my PB G4 17 - 10.3.2 - and the 2500 driver is definitely happier with OS X than OS 9. Though it did work with OS 9, for both printing and scanning, I had a vague feeling it made the machine less stable (hard to tell with my flaky Wallstreet) and every time I shut down it would quit unexpectedly as part of the shutdown process. Plus it would NEVER print from MS Word 5.1, though it would from pretty much everything else I tried it with. It's a different driver than the 2400 one - at least the networking part has to be - but sounds like there are similarities (after all, the printers are, if I'm thinking of the right ones, the same except for the networking ability). Anne Thanks to all who have offered suggestions. I really appreciate them. One unintentional misperception that I left people reading my original post was that I was having trouble printing from 9.2.2. I can print just fine from 9.2.2, and the HP supports 9.2 printing. I just don't like to re-boot, especially since I partitioned this disk without installing the OS 9 drivers on the OSX volume (doh!), and so when I boot from 9, the OSX volume is unreadable and I cannot choose it in the Startup Disk control panel since it doesn't mount at all (stranded ... in 9.2.2!). The only problem I'm having with that HP is that it will not print from CLASSIC (when the machine is booted in OSX and I run an OS 9 ap and try to print from it), something HP does NOT support. Booting 9.2.2 and running Classic in OSX are two different animals. The workarounds I'm toying with are 1.) since I rediscovered how extraordinarily much faster stuff runs when I boot from 9.2.2 (instead of OS 10.2.8) on this old Lombard (PB 333), I may migrate back ... but it will probably turn out to be unbearably painful since I cannot mount the OSX volume, and will have to perform some stupid transfers of large amounts of data (from the 25GB OSX partition) to an external volume I don't actually possess, and then back to the re-initialized OSX partition in order to see it from an OS 9 boot, OR 2.) buy a copy of Photoshop Elements off half.com (or somewhere) for $60 or so -- less than 1/10 the price of Photoshop 7 -- to run on the OSX partition, and leave Classic behind forever (it's the only thing I use Classic for). Option 2 sounds easiest and do-able-est, but I am SOO SICK of bloody Safari's spinning rainbow at every click that I'm thinking of getting a second mortgage to put myself into a G5. YAAG!

Thanks again! -jra Just a thought: you shouldn't have any problem seeing your OS X partition from OS 9. If you do, then it means you probably initialized your partition as an UFS instead of an HFS+. Your problems might be cause by this Unix partition format as not all applications on OS X can work fine off that partition... -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe, trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
