Re: VST Zip & MCE CDRW

[JOHN.E.ABRAHAM]

Hi Listers

Just to let you know that both drives are now functioning OK.

It has to be conflicts.  when I  booted and bring up extension 
manager, I selected OS 9.2.2 base.
It continued to boot right on to the desktop with at first the Zip in 
the RH bay.   With media then inserted I was able to view and copy 
files back and forth.  I did the same with the CD - RW and was able 
to mount a CD onto the desktop.

I then decided to try and burn a disk, so after ticking the Toast 
extension and rebooting I launched Toast (V4).  I  copied some files 
into the box then burned the disc all performed OK.

Next I removed the battery from the LH bay and inserted the Zip, then 
rebooted and during the boot up it froze.   Rebooted again with base 
OS 9.2.2 and all was Ok zip worked and CD -RW mounted disks onto the 
desktop, so one of the conflicts is with Toast.

I now have two dedicated sets of extensions to use with the drives 
and a copy of the base OS to play around with, to perhaps find what 
else conflicts.

Have a great Easter

  Hi Listers

  I have a frustrating problem I am unable to solve.

You may have old or incorrect zip extensions, a bad cdrw module, or you may
have bent or fried an internal connector.
Thanks for the guidance.

May I say that If the the internal connector was fried, the floppy
would not work in the LH bay and the CD rom would not work in the RH
bay, am I correct.  But they both do, so why not the Zip in place of
the floppy and the CD RW in place of the CD rom ?.As both units
were tested before being supplied to me, I have to assume it is
extension conflicts as there is no visible bent connectors.
I downloaded drivers from Iomega and MCE sites so will try these to
see if they make the drives perform.
Thanks again.

One other way, actualy that i use is Stuffit Deluxe 8.0 or above. In
the prefs. you can set up priority and receipt fonctions.
Next time you launch your Apple mail it will display receipts .

Thank you Hugo but that's to much trouble. I only have Stuffit 
Standard, it's free.

Greetings, Andre.

I misunderstood what you unit you were referring to.  I know Pismos do not
need XPF.  That was clear in my note.  What's your point in asking 'what's
your point?'  You certainly have the correct domain name.

Re: Pismo ethernet auto sensing

[Brian Braunschweiger]

-BEGIN QUOTED MATERIAL--
The OP was asking about needing a crossover cable. Lots of people also
refer to that as auto-sensing. According to Apple's document 42717, the
Pismo would need a crossover. The TiBook and later doesn't. Here's a
list:  http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42717
---END QUOTED MATERIAL--
That's indeed what I was asking and I got the answer I needed. Thanks.

Sorry if I used the wrong terminology in "auto-sensing" but that was 
partly why I added the further explanation.

Re: Pismo ethernet auto sensing??

[Paul Simoneau]

The early Ti G4s have an auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T, PHY interface IC/Auto-MDIX 
Ethernet port that will switch from straight to crossover when it is plugged into 
another Mac likewise equipped. 

The Pismo;s Ethernet port is auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T but not Auto-MDIX.

see:  http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42717

That's Auto-MDIX, which lets a machine automatically switch between
straight-through and crossover modes.  AFAIK, this feature appeared on
Macs with built-in Gigabit Ethernet.

Dear Anne, Jim and Dan,

Thank you all for your info. It's clear now but I will stick to Mail

Re: Mail confirmation

[Susan Platter]

I have received email that included a request for confirmation of 
receipt as a separate item from my reply. It was probably Outlook 
Express, but was a good while ago. I could have ignored it without 
problems, but chose to confirm, as it was a business subject.

Andre,

I know AOL offers a form of "delivery confirmation", but it is limited
to mail between AOL users, and not the internet at large.  In fact, as
far as I know, internet mail systems have no mechanism for such
feedback, and since it's all FREE mail, there is really no one who's
responsible for mail delivery.  Your ISP cannot even assure you that
mail will be delivered, all they can do is say that it's been sent out
on its way.  This is a basic flaw in the way email works, and it boils
down to the adage "you get what you pay for".  If you don't pay a
per-message charge (or pay for a closed system such as AOL), you are
entitled to no expectation that messages will be delivered, or even
sent, let alone confirmation that someone read it.
