File Sharing
Unit is a Pismo, G3 500, w/256 MB RAM and an Airport Card. Easily connects via Airport through a Barricade wireless router but does not see desktop Mac running 9.1. After better than an hour of working with Apple Tech Support, their conclusion was that an extension conflict was preventing file-sharing, although both systems had been booted with Mac Basic OS sets selected. I don't have the installation disk for the PIsmo, and the seller furnished it with 9.2 installed. I set up a workaround network using an ethernet connection to the Pismo, but that process aborted with the transfer half done. When I attempted to restart, the file-sharing extension on the Pismo caused it to crash on startup, and the system reported it damaged. I trashed that extension. All is well now, just no networking to my desktop. Finally my question: Is there any reason at all to keep 9.2 without having OS X on the Pismo? Any downside to 9.1? And might having 9.1 on both machines expedite the transfer of my files? -- cwr -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Airport DSL Networking
The problem is you have two routers and you don't need two routers. I'm guessing you need more ports. The thing to do would be to add a simple hub to the Airport. Since you can't get the Airport to not act as a router see if your other router (D-Link was it?) can act as a hub only. If not, just get a simple hub to plug into the back of your Airport. Whatever you do, get the configuration for one device set correctly first before bringing another variable into the picture. -tom -- From: Geoffrey Loeffler Subject: Re: Airport DSL Networking Well, it is early in the morning and I may be confused but... My base station is one of the older ones (only one ethernet port and one modem port). Did you configure the base station before connecting it to the router? If not, connect an ethernet cable directly from the base station to the Pismo. Open Airport Admin Utility on the Pismo. Open Configure. Click the Network tab. Disable Enable DHCP server on Ethernet. Enable Enable Airport to Ethernet Bridging. Quit Airport Admin Utility. Disconnect the cable from the Pismo to the base station. Reconnect the base station to the router. See if the Pismo can now connect. I tried the above and in OS 9.2.2 with the latest software for the single ether net connector graphite software loaded airport under networks, enable ether net bridging was not available choice, the enable DHCP was there and I unchecked it but no other options or screens opened.. The router is working, that's good, but no wireless. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Pivot screens and osx (again)
Hi again My mailserver crashed just after I sent a mail to this list, and as a result of that I have been unable to read any response to this posting. That is if I got any response. If someone replied could you please reply again, preferably off list. Peter My original posting: 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?

Re: Couldn't help myself: 800 mhz G3 ibook + Mac OS 10.3: $699 at CDW
Just tell her what I told my wife, after I sell all the old Mac's, we will more than pay for the new ibook. That was 6 months ago and I still have everything (the 8600 is on the dining room table) the Wallstreet is open, needs new PMU and I got about half way to it, misc. odds and ends all over the floor. Old software stuffed from floor to top in closets, etc. I guess I need to get on the ball and sell everything, I doubt I will come close to covering the cost of the new ibook, but it has been so long that my wife will probably never know we fell short.

Re: Battery Reset for Pismo
Hmmm, I'm thinking (uh-oh!! :-) since the PB-to-battery comm is done over a serial interface, might it be possible to directly capture (on Lombard of course) what BR 'says' to the battery and then use that to connect to, and reset, a battery over an external serial interface? Not that Pismo _has_ a serial interface. H, inquiring mind wants to know . . . That certainly should be possible if you can figure out a way to snoop onto the serial bus. ;-) FWIW, I think the VST external chargers have some of this capability as well. When you recharge a battery that's at a certain charge level, the charger is supposed to intelligently recalibrate the battery. I don't know how this is induced, and I can't say I've ever seen it actually work on anything other than my Wallstreet batteries... (I've got the 3400/5300, Wallstreet, and Lombard/Pismo rechargers - definitely worth the $25/each on eBay!) That could just be because my 5300 batteries are so far gone that they can't be saved and that my Pismo batteries aren't gunked up enough yet... Who knows. I just mention that so you have another branch to hunt down if figuring out how BR works doesn't happen.

Re: Battery Reset for Pismo
Heck if I know if I even need MacsBug, but I figured if I could trap the sysenvirons calls and see the differences between Lombard's and Pismo's responses I'd have some good pointers as to the actual mechanism used to differentiate the PBs. It's fun to play with actually, once you know a few basic commands. BTW, anyone know if there's a similar debugger for OS X? Hmm. MacsBug should be some help. You could go to the debugger right before BR brings up it's incompatibility dialog and then try to step through and look for the right portion of memory. That's a chore if you don't know what you are doing. Most of the gestalts are 16- or 32-bit binary values that would be hard to recognize with the eye. A handful are hex strings, but even these will be difficult to recognize... I wish I knew more about MacsBug - it can be an immensely powerful tool, I understand. Any takers?

The resource fork contains special data like the icon associated with a file, and info telling the Finder which program should be used to open it. Windows file systems have only a data fork. Those strange files on your jump drive are the result of the Finder splitting the Mac files (with resource forks) into two files, a data file (normal file name) and resource file (prepended with ._ ). It occurs because the USB drive is usually formatted in FAT16 (Windows format), which the Finder can read and write to but which cannot hold single files with both resource and data forks. The extra files are harmless, though annoying. If you truly intend to use only the data fork of a file, you might find that using a command line program like 'cp' might copy the data without cluttering up the drive with resource fork files.

You could maybe get an 802.11g external, PCMCIA card if there are drivers provided for it. Not sure that OS X would recognize the card. Or if you try one, make sure you can return it if no drivers are provided and OS X doesn't recognize the card. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] field servoid [play on `android'] /fee'ld ser'voyd/ n.: Representative of a field service organization (see field circus).

Two Weeks with 12 PB
Today marks the passage of two weeks since I switched back from Windows to Macintosh. I'm still learning my way about in OS X (Panther) but its becoming second nature. The various apps are the easy part, as Word, Excel and the like may look a little different, but are essentially the same. What is most frustrating remains the total inability to import information directly from Microsoft Outlook for Windows, which stores everything in a file called Outlook.PST. I did manage to sync my Palm to Outlook, then to the OS X address book for my contacts, and after 5 1/2 hours of uploading blocks of 200 messages to my school IMAP account and down into Entourage, I got all of my email archives transfered. The hard part then was getting my many contacts from the OS X address book into Entourage. I ended up giving-up and just imported the emails in OS X Mail, which uses address book as its address book (imagine that). That only leaves notes and calendar. Calendar synchronizes with iCal, so thats fine, but notes are still in Palm Desktop. I would rather use Entourage as it is an all-in-one solution, but it can't import my contacts and won't sync to my Palm. Oh well, stand alone apps are working fine. Everything else isn't better or worse, just different than Windows. The iApps are OK, especially iTunes which I really prefer to Windows Media Player for music, but once again I have to use a separate app to play videos. WMP simply played everything, which was very convenient. DVD playback is another give and take. The playback quality is considerably better than on my ThinkPad X21 (Pentium III 700) running PowerDVD XP, but I have far fewer controls over playback. PoewrDVD allowed me to skip the warnings and government threats and jump right to the root menu, which the DVD player in OS X 10.3 does not. It also had something called Pan And Scan, which would let me set different aspect ratios and zoom increments. For example, some wide screen movies are REALLY WIDE, which makes the picture simply too small on a 12 LCD. With PowerDVD I could tweak it a little so that I got smaller black bands on the top and bottom, but kept much of the sides, all while keeping everything in proper proportion. The important difference was that in PowerDVD I could control how much I wanted to magnify the image, thus also controlling how much of the edges of the image to cut. Of course the actual video quality is noticeably better on the PowerBook, without a single lost frame or jitter, EVER. Finally the hardware itself, which is a very personal thing. I am a big fan of small laptops, the smaller the better so long as the keyboard is easy to touch type on. I am also a trackpad hater, and love the little eraserhead on the ThinkPads. In fact, I used to prefer Toshiba Portege laptops until Toshiba went from eraserhead thingies to touchpads, so I switched to IBM. Even IBM is playing with touchpads now, but thankfully the really small X series has the eraser. Needless to say, buying the PowerBook has forced me to tollerate a touchpad. I have to correct the position of my cursor and move errant text at least once or twice per hour after accidental touches during touch typing put my cursor, and subsequent text somewhere OTHER THAN where I want or expect it to be. I hope I can get used to this, or I'll have to start carrying an external mouse, which defeats the whole purpose of an ultracompact laptop. Also, while the 12 PowerBook is small, it is still rather thick at 1.2 and heavy at 4.6 lbs. My ThinkPad (admittedly without the benefit of an onboard optical drive) had the same 12 screen size, but was less than 1 thick and weighed only 3 lbs. I'd gladly have my combo drive as a clip-on base station to shave off 1.6 lbs. Still, the PB is very compact in most dimensions, and the clevor screen hinge makes this thing handier than my ThinkPad on airplane tray tables, where I spend entirely too much time using my laptops. Also, the aluminum case is very cool. Performance of the 1GHz G4 (768MB RAM) running Panther is about the same as the 700MHz PIII with 384MB running XP. This isn't benchmarks as I'm sure the Mac will trounce the old PC for actual number crunching, just the subjective feel of how quickly windows open and the like. Since the visual effects of Panther are so impressive, to do it in the same blink of an eye as my PC is quite impressive, and suggests that this is actually a very powerful computer that is simply doing far more advanced work in the same amount of time. Of course, the main reason I switched back (I was a Mac user from 1993 to 1998) is all of the current malware on the web. I know Macs aren't immune to virii, but the attacks on my PC number in the HUNDREDS PER DAY, something I simply no longer care to deal with. In two weeks I've not had a single worry. Nothing has crashed, and I've had no doubts about my computer security.
