Re: MacOS X.2.3 install from DVD on Pismo?
Hi James I was able to boot up and install from an OS 10.2.3 DVD on my Pismo. Worked great.

The disc appears to be the grey color (OEM?) like the eMac CDROM sets that OWC has been selling for a while, and I think it's originally from a PBG4-14 inch.

Not 'a friend of a friend' anecdotal, but actual, first-hand experience, please.

Re: Lombard won't boot after HD replacement

Firewall's and DSL
I finally got DSL up here in the wilds, it's static connection. Using a Paradyne modem connected to a Net-gear 614 v2 router. I am using a Pismo with 10.3.3 with a small OS 9 partition, connected right now through a 802.1X connection in internet connect. I did not load any of the software that came with the router and the modem although the router has a set up page to load your mail settings and connection info, port selection a whole lot of stuff for someone used to just using an airport set up, which by the way does not work very well with this DSL the signal is so weak I cant get 50 feet, was going to do a bridge set up a little later and put another airport in the house for better reception to get better coverage. On set up there were a few choices, i.e. allowing a ping, selected no and one or 2 other items that were recommend to not enable as this would allow access to the computer. As the Pismo loads I see a section on firewall loading. I imagine this is part of the OS 10.3.3. So am reasonably safe with what I have or I don't have ? I will be adding to this network with a airport, and a another hub for the trusty 6100 G3, another Pismo and a G3 1400, printers, etc., no problems with neighbors picking up the airport, unless the moose count. I do online banking, stocks, and some legal work and medical work. I always log out and quit I.E. or Safari when doing some serious work and then restart the I.E. when I go just browsing, I do not restart the computer until done for the day and ready for the next day. I know nothing is really safe but would like a few road blocks if it's prudent and not just throwing money away.

Re: Wallstreet Powerlogix G3 500 vs Sonnet G4 500
Beniamino, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I recently moved to a 15 aluminum, but I am still using at time the Wallstreet w/Bluechip 500 Mhz. I was wondering to replace the Bluechip with a Sonnet G4. Has anybody a direct experience? Is there a noticeable speed gain? The G4 will generally give you faster graphics because all Aqua graphics is processed by the CPU as opposed to the video card in newer Mac models and a G4 will do that faster, in most cases much faster. Also some apps that benefit from the G4s faster processing of graphic related mathematics will run faster. In some cases that may mean the difference between usable and not usable. Graphically related mathematics is used in more apps that we first think of, like in a web browser or document creation with graphics or especially with apps like Audio or DivX and SVCD video. I know this firsthand as I had a Wallstreet with 500Mhz G4 in my hands for repair during some weeks a while ago. Expect a more responsive machine, but at the same time don't expect big wonders. And study carefully if the apps you often use will take advantage of the G4. Have you maxed the RAM to 512 MB? This is equally important. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Appletalk question
At my office I have a small network. My secretary has an iMac which is the main location of files. Besides her, there are three other computers that access these files and save and edit files located there. Under her user name, in the public directory, we have a directory for our office. In that directory I have two folders, one with forms (with many subfolders) and one for clients (with many subfolders for each client). The folder for forms is read only and only my secretary can save to it with finalized, perfected forms. I want everyone to have access to save and edit to the client folder. The way it works, however, is that whoever creates the folder is the only one who can access it for anything other than read only. Of course that can be manually changed by going to get info and changing the ownership and permissions for the folder as well as files within the folder. I'd much prefer this to be automatic.

Pismo Expansion Bay Brainstorming
Hello Listers, One of my expansion bay VST zip 100 drive modules for my Pismo is dead. I suspect it's just the zip mechanism that's gone, and not the bridging board inside the module. Since I don't need another zip drive, that left me wondering what options I might have for putting OTHER devices in the module, such as hard drive, flash media readers, Firewire 800 / USB2 adapters, or even CD-R mechanisms. I'm brainstorming here! What great ideas do you all have? Where might I buy the needed part(s) and what adaptors or drivers might be needed?

Re: Powerlogix vs Sonnet
When I was still running Jaguar on both the G3/800 iBook and the G4/800, the difference wasn't all that noticeable. Installing Panther made it a whole 'nother story.

Battery: iBook Clamshell
Hello everyone, As much as I know about Macs, there are many things that I do not know. With that said, I purchased an iBook Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery from a guy on eBay. He said on his auction page, and I quote (cut and paste): Battery in great condition and works fine. Great to have as a backup... I received it today and installed into a Tangerine iBook running OS 9.2.2 and No Charge. So I put into my Indigo iBook running OS X 10.2 8 and I get the Red X after about 60 seconds.

Re: Pismo ethernet auto sensing??
My Pismo has an auto-sensing Ethernet card. Auto-sense means the card will automatically adjust for a 10 million bits per second or a 100 million bits per second connection. The other end of the connection (a fixed speed hub; an auto-sensing or fixed speed switch interface; a fixed speed router interface; or another auto-sensing Mac) will dictate the speed negotiated. If the ends are both auto-sensing then they will negotiate for the highest speed both can handle. To set up a connection to another Mac, you simply need to use a crossover Ethernet cable. If you use a straight thru cable, you will have to use two and a hub. You will also be restricted to the speed of the hub. Let me know If you need more info.

Re: Battery: iBook Clamshell
Kyle, Is the battery white, marked model:M6392 or more of a silver color? If it's silver, it's an older battery for the first generation iBooks and has probably gone bad. I had four like that and they were replaced under Apple's 1 year warranty (I have a Tangerine 300 and a Graphite 466SE). And the replacements were M6392 higher capacity for the later clamshell iBooks (extra runtime in first generation). I don't remember, but there may be a battery reset on Apple's website that you can try. If not, good luck with the guy.

Re: Pismo Expansion Bay Brainstorming
Jim [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: One of my expansion bay VST zip 100 drive modules for my Pismo is dead. I suspect it's just the zip mechanism that's gone, and not the bridging board inside the module. Since I don't need another zip drive, that left me wondering what options I might have for putting OTHER devices in the module, such as hard drive, flash media readers, Firewire 800 / USB2 adapters, or even CD-R mechanisms. I'm brainstorming here! What great ideas do you all have? Where might I buy the needed part(s) and what adaptors or drivers might be needed? I want to have some fun with this, and you can be a part of it! Open the EBM and take a look at what you've got. A cheap-ass Zip drive (really! take a look at it!), a dumb (no electronics) interface board and a plastic and sheet metal shell. Examine the interface board and try to imagine what other devices might possibly share that peculiar Zip-drive connector. Sorry I'm being a wise-guy, but I have yet to see any device that shares that [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zip-drive connector. I've had the same idea as you, but sadly I've found nothing to replace it except another Zip drive. :-( Yeah, I suppose one could fabricate another interface connector from the existing Zip connector on the IF board to some other connector type, but that sure seems like a lot of bother. Maybe I'm prejudiced though, 'cause my general opinion of Zip drives is - the farther you can throw it the better off you'll be.

I boot my iceBook from the OS 9.2.2 disc, and start the install, but it says it can't find a valid destination volume. I then started up Drive Setup, and try to mount the hard drive, but it says it can't mount the drive. The only option I get is to initialize the drive, which I obviously don't want to do. Looks like a no-win to me. Any suggestions? John -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
