Re: Low Battery Warning on iBook
The battery runs for three or four hours before disappearing. It has been suggested to me that the age of the battery (three years plus a bit) may be a factor in the Low Battery message no longer appearing. It used to appear, it seems, and it is not clear why this ceased.

From: John A [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, I just tried this. I put the OS 9.2.2 disc in the drive, then dragged the system folder from the CD to my Panther desktop. The system folder you have copied is the minimal startup system needed to start up from the CD-ROM. You need to back up an installed copy of the system that contains all the system software necessary to do everything a Mac should be able to do. The system you've copied only contains enough software to install the system. Also, it looks to make sure it's being booted from the CD. Larry _ Tired of spam?

Re: Advice RE: The Snow ABS

Now we're sure. They're wanting $150 for it. Is that a decent price? If you're happy paying it, then yes. ;) Having said that, I will also note that they're going on eBay for $100-$125; but of course you'd probably also have to pay shipping, insurance, etc. There were some issues regarding a problem with white residue appearing on the ABS motherboard which caused catastrophic failures. Can anyone add any more details about the problem and/or solution. Is it still a problem with those base stations? The Graphite (first model) base stations had a defective capacitor problem. The Snow/dual ethernet (second model) had the white residue problem, but it's much less common that the defective capacitor problem in the Graphites.

Grapplin' w/ a Graphite (iBook)
Could y'all help me be a lil' sneaky?? ;-) A computer scrapper I work with frequently recently received someone's old office equipment, that contained what appears to be a smashed-LCD screen iBook. All I can tell about it is that it's graphite in color. I did not see it long enough to see if it had firewire, video out or anything... actually I did not look at it long at all(!), because my friend -- while his first-mind is that All Apples Are #*$% -- once he sees you're interested in something he immediately goes and researches EPay. I learned my lesson last time; he normally tosses PPC'd 540s, G3'd 1400s, or sells them to me. But last time, I stared at a 3400c he wanted $70 for just a bit too long(!), which prompted him to boot it up discover that it was a 240mhz model.

Re: Partition with 10.2?
Another aspect, IMHO, Mac OS X 10.3.x with XPostFacto3 ( I use the a14 version) works much better on at least the Wallstreet II (PDQ) than do Jaguar. The only thing that doesn't work for me is sound going in, which probably can be solved with a new PCMCIA soundcard with a specific sound driver for that hardware, but I haven't really tried that. I run a PCMCIA airport card (Open source driver) trough the PCMCIA, so I have none of the mentioned XPF FAQ problems regarding this port. Same goes for sleep, which is working perfectly. So, while Panther may set you off another $60 or so second hand, IMO it is worth that. I'm seem to be leaving the WS II finally after 2 years, going to a PowerBook G4 instead. Which is good as I suppose Tiger will be difficult to support on the WS. But so did Panther look from the outset. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: wear and tear on 15.2 PBG4 display and cures
Let me add my voice - I have an original Ti-400. No keyboard 'scratches' ever, and I have not seen any on any other machines. The finger oil marks do clean off with moist wipes of different sorts, or screen cleaner if you want to spend money for brand names. No real marks in three years. The improvement in the situation after a repair is often due to the repairman replacing the tiny rubber bumper/spacers at the front corners of the machine. The keyboard temporarily no longer touches the screen until they wear down again. Now can somebody tell me how to keep the screw next to the power adapter input from loosening all the time...? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Will this Apple Sodimm work in a Wallstreet PDQ (Series II) ?
I agree with the Eugene Lee. It's SO-DIMM. My replys to the Adding RAM to WS II thread will help answer your question. It looks like the part number you've provided is one from the top of one of the chips on the memory module. A Samsung K4S510832C. Now that we know the density of the chips, how many are there? It might work. If it does, it probably won't be recognized as the correct size. 64 x 8 = 512 Mb 512 x number of chips = Mb Mb / 8 = MB I believe the memory controller in the Wallstreet can only address memory chips of either 8M depth or 32 bit width. Not sure which at this point. Reading on xlr8yourmac.com some people are saying that the controller can only address memory chips of 128 megabit. And chip stacking is used to achive higher module sizes. I thin the module you're asking about probably wont work. -nils references : http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/OS_X_on_PB_wallstreet.html K4S510832C KC75/C1H/C1L KL75/L1H/L1L 64M x 8 LVTTL 8K 3.3 ? 0.3V D D P TSOP2 54pin Now -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

How to force shut down? (was: HD in Lombard running hot)
I'm now stuck with a OS X installer CD as the only device the Lombard will start up from, the HD has disappeared altogheter from the installer and disk utility options and is quite hot, which indicates some weird activity inside. The question now is: how do I force a shut down in order to pull out the HD? The computer won't start from any other bootable system I have on CD and won't start from external FireWire and SCSI either, it only accepts an OS X install CD and I can't find any option to shut down from it. I just summarise the background events for those who were following the thread and gave suggestions and anybody who could recognise some pathology: - Hitachi Travelstar 40GNX 40GB in a Lombard makes continuous seek-click noise when booted in the freshly installed OS X Panther partition. Normal behaviour when booted in the OS 9 partition. Disc usage is less than 10% - no fragmentation issues, specially in the OS X partition (just clean installed). Additional software was installed. I replicated the same setup that was previously running under Jaguar. - tried to wipe the OS X partition and installed Jaguar on it. Normal behaviour, no clicking noise, HD runs cool and fine. - tried to install Panther in the OS 9 partition (no additional software installations): normal HD behaviour, runs cool, no noise - cloned the original Panther setup back onto the wiped OS X partition: clicking noise is back - wiped the OS partition again (disk utility) in order to re-install freashly Panther hoping I would get through fine. Freeze, force restart: HD does not mount and is quite hot. Don't know how to shut downn. The reason why I tried out all of the above is that I wanted to find out (or rule out) that the problem would come from some weird combination of software and/or OS settings, which I'm sort of convinced it is the case. By the way, the HD is still covered by warranty, I just did not want to return the HD in the case the problem were somehow software/OS related. thanks for any help! cheers, gianfranco -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Opinions on CDs
The kind of CD blanks you use is really important. It is particularly important if you want your disks to play in some machine other than the machine that burned it. Here is a reference to a site where people spend a lot of time on this issue. http://club.cdfreaks.com/forumdisplay.php?s=forumid=33 See also these FAQs:http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq07.html#S7 What you discover, reading this thing, is that there is a huge variation in the dynamic range of the recorded signal from disk to disk, burner to burner and speed to speed. I now use only Fuji 48 CDRs and I burn them at 40. I can often get them at These are Taiyo Yuden disks (silvery greenish blue on bottom).Please note, that just because it says Fuji, that doesn't mean it's a Taiyo Yuden disk--but this model is. DONT get the music cd disks. Rite Aid sells stacks for 18 bucks and 12 bucks on sale. I have used staples brand disks and other brands. They produce a coaster periodically, but the reason you don't use them is that invariably you can't use them on a machine other than the one you burned them on.
