Re: Cisco Aironet and OS 9
Thank you, Phillip. I did install the drivers, so that is why I can't understand why it won't work. I feel that I must have made some mistake in setting up, although I carefully checked the IP address for my Wallstreet and so on.

OS X has many drivers for third-party cards and hardware; that is why it seems so simple to use. Windows does this as well, on that side of the aisle it's called plug and play. OS 9 won't recognize the wireless card because it needs a driver for it. It appears that the Cisco WLAN Install application runs in either OS X or OS 9. Get the installer, boot into OS 9 and run it.

Pismo basic questions
I just got a new-to-me Pismo and have some introductory questions. I have been using a 3400 for the last couple years and a 520c before that. QUESTION 1: It came with a yo-yo power adapter but the plug that connects it to the Pismo seems to go with difficulty, like it is a tight fit. Is this normal and is there anything about this I should worry about or be especially careful of? QUESTION 2: Putting CDS or DVDs into the DVD module also seems to be a tight fit over the spindle. What about that? QUESTION 3: The DVD tray, when fully extended, seems to be a bit flimsy, especially if I am applying pressure to get a CD or DVD over the spindle (see question 2). Normal? Precautions? QUESTION 4: There don't seem to be any feet on the bottom of the Pismo. Should there be? Thanks for any help as I get up and running with my new baby.

Re: newbie laptop questions
So I wonder what it is that is causing my problems. I'm running 10.2.8, I have tried it from both OS9 and OSX, starting XPF, inserting the 10.3 CD and selecting it to restart with. It reboots, starts the installation, after about the second screen, where I'm clicking continue, I get the message that my machine is not compatible. Any ideas? I posted this on the unsupported X mailing list, but didn't really get any responses, other than telling me to register and post in the forums.

Interesting. I have used Linksys in the past. Have had not great luck with the products but good luck with the support. Configure via web is also interesting. One thing I forgot to mention was important is RANGE. I hope to find one with enough juice to give me a good amount of space to wander, but this depends so much on environmental factors that it is probably hard to compare. Thanks!

Re: iDVD a pismo or older mac...
pace [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: Has anybody found ANYWAY to get their G3 Pismo/2000 to work with iDVD??? In case you missed my post to the PBs-list where you first asked this question . . . The only solution of which I'm aware: attach an iDVD-compatible DVD-R to the expansion bay bus. I haven't done this myself, but I did supply an empty EBM HD case to someone who then built a adapter cable from the EBM's interface connector out to an external iDVD-compatible fullsize ATAPI DVD-R drive. iDVD then worked fine according to the fellow's report. Kinda not-very-portable though and probably not the type of solution for which you were looking. FWIW, I've got a couple of EBM DVD-R/W drives, neither usable with iDVD (Matshita UJ811b, Toshiba 6012 (??something like that).)

Here's a listing from OWC: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=5668Item=CENCYCGAG3 The feet on the Pismo aren't like the feet on the 520 and 3400, in that they are just rubber bumbers instead of a moving, locking mechanism. Turn it over and you'll see a place towards each corner where the rubber pieces go. Pretty common problem for them to disappear. --- JSH TiBook -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 802.11g base units besides AirPort?
Lynksys will work, as well as any others. THe biggest problem i've seen is that most of the non-Apple units fail horribly at 1. allowing Appletalk (ie for printing, filesharing, etc), and 2. Apple interfaces.. I did have an SMC unit (dunno who'se chips it runs on) that actually had a set IP# for configuartion, so you could just http: right into it to configure. but it still refused AppleTalk, which meant that I had to manually connect to a printer in order to print. Considering that the cost difference is only about $80, it wasn't worth the hassle of going to a printer to connect, resetting my appletalk , rebooting, and hopefully getting a connection.. And then, I still couldn't do Appletalk filesharing to another Mac on the network because Linksys (as well as most of the others that I looked at) refused to offer routing of Appletalk over the ethernet-wireless bridge. All this hassle just to save $80 on a product I would use EVERY DAY? I don't think so.. I sold the units, then went bought a $149 brand new Airport base station, which works perfectly with everything I have, fully integrated, fully controllable, and hey, it even looks cool. But hey, to each his own : ) In a message dated 3/29/04 11:37:40 AM, you wrote: Interesting. I have used Linksys in the past. Have had not great luck with the products but good luck with the support.

Re: 802.11g base units besides AirPort?
I had the same one you had initially, worked about 2 weeks and died, they replaced it. It worked sporadically for the last year, needing to be powered off and back on frequently to keep it working. Then it finally died completely, just out of warranty. That's when I got the USR. I have used USR modems for nearly 15 years, back when 2400 was fast. They have always made outstanding products and this one is no different. Plug'd it in, config'd it and haven't had to mess with it since...the way a router should be. I too had the same experience with the Indian tech support, an experience I am not too happy about...more US jobs lost. Rad... Harry D.

Re: iBooks vs. the World
This is a nice perspective, though a bit flawed.. A G4/1mb cache will WAY WAY WAY outperform a G3/900/256k or 512kcache unit for issues like video editing, photo resizing, rendering, etc. basically any time a large amount of math work is done, the processor needs a lot of space for temporarily filing math problems, while it processes other math. Without a large cache size (1mb), you're going to lose speed, because the processor will write that data to a hard disk (ie., very slow), as it works For instance, a Pismo with the G3/500 upgrade card in it (500mhz, 1mb cache) will way outperform an iBook G3 900/512kb in video editing and rendering. It's all due to the cache-save function. The issue is compound. you have to knnow WHAT you're doing with the unit. If it's just light activity (email, word processing, etc), go for speed. The faster processor speed (mhz) will help you. But if you actually do REAL computer intensive work (audio file editing, video file editing, rendering, photo editing), the same iteration chip (ie., G3/500/1mb) with more cache will outperform it's mate wiht less cache (i.e G3/900/512k). I recently did an A/B test of daystar's G4/500/1mbcache upgrade for the Pismo, vs the PowerLogix G3/900/256k cache for the same. The results were staggering. I had upgraded the Pismo to jaguar. the G3/900 just crawled along. yes, it was a TINY TINY bit faster than my original G3/500/1mb, but it wasn't worth the $350 cost. When I put the G4/500/1mb cache card in, it was truly as if I'd purchased a new computer. screen redraws, video re-write, application switching--it was really sweet smooth... so, my thought--figure out what you're doing first.. OSX is happier with 1. more cache and 2. a G4 processor. OS9 doesn't care QUITE as much. If you're doing day-to-day average work, the faster chip with less cache will be better. If you're doing processor intensive stuff, the higher cache unit will be your friend Tom In a message dated 3/27/04 2:34:54 PM, you wrote: I feel that all this talk of the iBooks and G3 units as useful only for light this and that is nonsense. Only a few short years ago, G3 chips were the top of the Mac food chain. At that time G2s were only for light so and so. Fact is, G3s handle heavy work just fine. In some cases, the jobs take a little longer...that's all. In some cases, a G3 will perform even faster. A 900mhz G3 will perform all functions more swiftly than a 500mhz G4, all other elements being equal. So, the real issues in choosing between an iBook and a Powerbook are extended desktop use, professional connectivity and presentation issues, required time to get jobs done, appearance and one other caveat: The iBooks have been suffering from a hinge problem wherein the hinge eventually cuts through the cable bundle that wires the screen to the mainboard. Once cut through, expecially the power cable, it shorts the entire system. That is what has been causing all the MoBo failures in the iBook line. Apple won't admit it, despite their limited recall, and all the discussion sites and boards are speculating about bad mainboards and so on, but it's scissored cable junctions, hands down. As to if the new iBooks have finally addressed this time will tell. But it is an expensive mitigating factor and one I don't want to have to go through again. on 3/26/04 9:52 AM, Nick Marshall [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

OS X tossing prefs ?
Our sole gripe with OS X is the way it dumps the prefs without warning now and then, and loses data. This has happened at regular intervals in the past year on a couple of different units: start up and the dock has reverted to default, and many custom finder and application settings are reset. What's most irritating is when Address Book dumps its precious content and has to be restored from backup files, which at times happens independent of the above. What can we do to help stabilize this otherwise reliable OS? To add something under laptop comparisons: we just switched from ibook to PB. If you do any amount of typing, the extra $ is justified by the keyboard quality alone. Although we like them both, the ibook has a flimsy quick-release board with caps prone to pop loose. The 12 Little Al has a noticeably more refined, firmly seated unit with the best 'feel' of any 'book we have owned. - Brendan __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.

Re: My Video
You know, with the prices of MiniDV cameras going down, I think you should also consider whether it makes sense investing on a DV Bridge that you might end up paying around $200 while you can have a MiniDV camera that can be used as a DV bridge for less than $400. My Sharp can be used as a DV Bridge. In addition, I can also take digital pictures with it. Granted, it is only limited to 640 x 480, but still, its main purpose is to record DV movies. Just a thought... Agreed - I have a Canon ZR40 I use to convert to DV also.

Considering that the cost difference is only about $80, it wasn't worth the hassle of going to a printer to connect, resetting my appletalk , rebooting, and hopefully getting a connection.. I never had to do any of this. My LaserJet 2100TN (with Ethernet interface) is plugged into one of the Ethernet ports. I just print to it from any computer on the wireless network. Never had to configure anything on either SMC unit. And then, I still couldn't do Appletalk filesharing to another Mac on the network because Linksys (as well as most of the others that I looked at) refused to offer routing of Appletalk over the ethernet-wireless bridge. File Sharing also just worked. I had no idea whether AppleTalk was being used, and never dealt with IP addresses. All this hassle just to save $80 on a product I would use EVERY DAY?

File synch in OSX?
Greetings, New to the list, with what is probably an common problem for X migrators. I run two systems -- a Cube and an iBook and am preparing for the final ascent into the land of X. I like to keep the two running more or less identically, but I sense that with the more stringent control of users and permissions in X this will be a little more challenging than just using File Synchronization.

All known good. I also have a backside for the top case, with some scraps, but all else is there. I actually have 2 more cables, but at least one of them is wacked.

Well, if you're in the market for a new camcorder as well, your best bet is to get a miniDV with video passthrough (some have, some don't, but most newer ones do). That way you get a bridge and a camcorder all in one. The quality will be identical to using a standalone bridge. -- P. H.

Any suggestions vis a vis strategies or software? If you want to keep identical list of users on both computers, yes, that will be hard. You can synchronize a large part of your stuff as long as you have the discipline not to log onto one computer, modify some files, then log on the other, modify the same files. Unless you can use a synchronization tool that works at the file level (i.e. it can synchronize the content of a given file format), then you're quickly developing problems to keep key files in sync if you need to use a file system level synchronization tool. Most tools will want to keep one file or the other. If you're throwing other users in the mix, then it will add another level of complexity, plus the added problem of permissions. Even if you are the administrator, you don't have access to some folders of the other users. It's hard to synchronize the content of a folder when you don't have access to it. Sure, you could enable the root user, but if you synchronize folders to which you usually don't have access to, you need to be careful not to end up with a lot of scattered files that are owned by root and are not accessible by regular users. You might have another nightmare to restore the original permissions on the copies. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] benchmark n.: [techspeak] An inaccurate measure of computer performance.
