Any offers? I just did a search in my file of 'things that might be useful one day' and found this - I don't even know if it came from this list originally: Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 17:50:07 -0600 From: Frederico Subject: Open Firmware WILL work on PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet II) Regarding the inability of some folks to get into Open Firmware (Command- Option-O-F) on PowerBook G3 233-266-292-300 models (Wallstreet II, PDQ), I can promise you it is possible, and it can be done on either Restart or Cold Start, whether or not you have Jaguar installed and/or set as the Startup Disk. I just double checked my G3-266/14, and it goes into Open Firmware v2.0.1 on a regular restart from OS X 10.2.6. While it's possible that there's a particular version of these units which won't accept the command, or maybe the early Wallstreet (I) models lack OF, I've never met one in dozens and dozens of tries, and this is something we routinely do to *every* PowerBook that comes in for any type of troubleshooting or upgrade. For those having trouble, a few hints/suggestions: · press ALL four keys (Command-Option-O-F -- that's Apple-Alt-oh-ef for the fontifically challenged) at the SAME TIME, *immediately* upon hearing -- even during -- the Startup Chime. If you wait even one or two seconds, or depress the keys one or two at a time, it is very easy for the Boot ROM to miss your command call. · Make sure your Command, Option, O and F keys are clean and responsive by using Keycaps or similar program prior to attempt, if you're still having trouble. · If your keys fail to respond properly, just attach any known-good ADB keyboard. · For reference, nearly all Old World Macs reset only PRAM when using Command-Option-P-R from a Restart; using the same Command-Option-P-R from a Cold Start (Power OFF to Power ON) will reset NVRAM and PRAM, thus, the 'reset-nvram' command in Open Firmware is unnecessary; however, resetting NVRAM is still advisable in this battery/PMU reset effort. · the 'reset-all' command in Open Firmware resets all kinds of things, both documented and undocumented, particularly things on the PCI/PCMCIA bus, like video, and issues using Type I or II expansion cards. Resetting it has never hurt anything that I'm aware of. My advice: * Power OFF the PowerBook * Remove the battery * Install AC power * Power ON the PowerBook * *immediately* depress Command-Option-P-R * continue holding for a total of three chimes * upon hearing the third chime, immediately release the keys and instead press Command-Option O-F * In Open Firmware, type: reset-all * press Return, type: bye * press Return * ...the PowerBook will now boot normally into the first System Folder found on the first partition of the internal drive. * If you get the Flashing '?', use any OS 9.1 or higher boot CD (the CD or the Classic System Folder must contain a new enough version of Startup Disk CP to reset OS X as your Startup Disk). * If you wish, you may repeat the above with each of your problem batteries installed, but it shouldn't be necessary. For reference, I have an original PowerBook battery that gets about 3-3.5 hours of mostly continuous use, using AirPort (Type I slot) or Modem, iTunes, Safari, Entourage and Word, and an occasional launch of Classic/ Emailer. I have a fairly new battery (about a year), that I can push to nearly four. I simply don't recall if OS 8-9 use when brand new was much better. Any game play (Diablo II/LoD; Dungeon Seige; etc.) will eat up either in about 2 hours or less. Overall, with the exception of noticeably shorter battery life under OS X 10.2.3 (or was it 10.2.4?), I have enjoyed good overall battery use since OS X 10.1 Puma.

Airport trouble.

Re: Wall Street, Wi-fi, and OS 9.1?
I called MacMall yesterday wondering if I they could recommend a wi-fi Cardbus card for my Wall Street since I don't want to depend on a 3rd party card's software to get it to work when I'm out of town. They told me I'd need OS X. True? The sheer amount of FUD out there about these things is astounding. If you want to use a CardBus card, you'll need OS X (as no Wireless (a, b, or g) CardBus cards exist with drivers for OS 9, AFAIK). There are plenty of non-3rd party solutions remaining for OS 9, however. MacWireless makes a nice card that they support with drivers in OS 9. The card will work on anything from a 190 up. Farallon (now Proxim) makes the SkyLINE which also works in OS 9 on a 190 or better. Lucent/ORiNOCO/Avaya/Agere/whoevertheyaretoday (now actually owned by Proxim - the same guys that bought Farallon) make the silver and gold series of cards (sometimes called WaveLAN and sometimes called ORiNOCO). These cards have been cloned a thousand times by people from Dell to IBM to Sony to Apple. Apple's card is the AirPort card, but it will NOT work in a Wallstreet. It only works in the internal AirPort slots of later Macs. The OEM cards (called WaveLAN or ORiNOCO) will work with Apple's AirPort drivers in OS 9 and appear to the Mac as though they are genuine AirPort cards. Additionally, ANY of the 3rd party WaveLAN-chipset cards (except the AirPort card) will work with the ORiNOCO 7.2 drivers under OS 9. All WaveLAN chipset-based cards require 3rd party OS X drivers. I run a bunch of WaveLAN-based cards in my Macs. I've got a Sony PCWA-C150S card with a nice stubby antenna, 2 ORiNOCO Silvers, and 2 WaveLAN silvers. I've also got a SkyLINE 2 Mb card that I haven't set up yet. It'll get stuck in one of my 5300s at some point, I'm sure. My two Wallstreets and my Pismo all run Apple's AirPort software. When I insert the ORiNOCO or WaveLAN cards, the cards appears on the desktop as AirPort PC Card and the AirPort software just works. I should point out that AirPort does not recognize 3rd party WaveLAN cards like the IBM High Rate Wireless PC Card or the Dell TrueMobile 1150. On my 5300s, AirPort isn't supported, so I run the ORiNOCO drivers. The ORiNOCO 7.2 drivers recognize ALL WaveLAN based cards as being ORiNOCO cards. The AirPort card is a special card with something funny going on. It's actually CardBus, but it doesn't work in CardBus slots. I've read that Apple switched a few pins around so that it will not work in standard CardBus slots but only in the AirPort slot. FWIW, WaveLAN cards do work as AirPort cards when installed internally.

Wallstreet modem problem
I have a friend whose Wallstreet was connected to the phone lines during a storm last year, whereupon the internal modem quit working. He's used an external ever since. Recently I saw a Wallstreet modem on the Swap list and ordered it for him. I put it in, but could not get it to work. The profiler said at various times that no Apple modem was found or that the modem is in use no further info is available. Of course the modem was not in use in any way I could detect when it said this. It looks identical to his original modem, down to the plastic strip with the Canadian emblem on it. The modem itself says that it is a Powerbook GV 56K modem. Connected to the phone line, it would dial, but no dial tone was detected or heard (although one was present on the line, which worked fine for other computers) and no connection was made. Any ideas on this? Does it seem likely that some other component besides the modem is fried? TIA, Beverly -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Every PC Card has a small set of information stored as HEX strings. This info tells the computer what the name of the card is, the company that manufactured it, it's version, and some other odds and ends. The 3rd party cards have different card names that aren't recognized by the AirPort driver. It may be possible to patch AirPort to get it to recognize these cards, however. I've had 75% success with doing this so far. I've managed to get AirPort to recognize my PCWA-C150S as an AirPort PC Card, and I can select it in TCP/IP, but this seems only cosmetic. The card still doesn't actually connect to my base station. But maybe you'll have better luck than I've had. For more reading, check out this thread on AppleFritter.

Re: Wall Street, Wi-fi, and OS 9.1?
Actually, This isn't entirely correct.. The original airport card has a slightly different connector witha different 'lockout' pin, which prevents its use in a pcmcia slot. Furthermore it's got a certain 'resistor' (required by Apple of the OEM), placed across 2 pins which could cuase premature power supply failure in any PCMCIA slot that its installed into. It was designed that way to be uniquly apple. That said, a standard PCMCIA card--such as RoamAbout (made by Cabletron), or a Cabletron, or a Lucent Silver, Orinoco, or Gold---all these will work perfectly on a Wallstreet and should work just fine with the Apple s/w.. I recently got a RoamAbout (think it was low $20's), and it's just as happy as can be in my Lombard's PCMCIA slot. Tom.

Actually, the first generation AirPort card uses a standard PCMCIA connector, so you could connect one in a Wallstreet. However, since the card expects an external antenna, You wouldn't be able to do much with it in your Wallstreet. That's not true. AFAIK, there's only one generation of AirPort card. (Unless you mean AirPort Extreme to be a second generation... but that wouldn't be quite right.) AirPort cards DO NOT have a PCMCIA connector. They have a CardBus connector. CardBus cards will not fit in PCMCIA PC Card slots. They are keyed differently. PC Cards will fit in CardBus slots, but CardBus cards will not physically fit in standard 16-bit PC Card slots. The cards that were, at least, in the graphite AirPort Base Station were Lucent Silver card. Apple didn't even remove the sticker on the cards and these had, of course, the external antenna on the card itself as opposed to the Apple AirPort ones... WaveLAN silvers were the basis for the Graphite ABS, yes (and that explains why only 64-bit (or 48-bit depending on your interpretation) WEP is supported with them. The Snow ABS has an AirPort card in it, and it can be firmware upgraded (with AirPort 2.0, IIRC) to 128-bit WEP.

The point is, even if you could put one in one of your PCMCIA slot, it would still not work since the genuine AirPort cards from Apple need an external antenna. On a Macintosh that has an internal AirPort slot, there is also a little wire connected to an antenna inside the case of the said Macintosh. You put the card in its slot, connect the wire et voilà!

Re: Wall Street, wi-fi, and OS 9.1
There is no need for a cardbus card. I had an ORiNICO Silver card in a Wallstreet and the card worked right off the box with the AirPort software in OS 9. -Laurent. Sorry, I don't understand. Where DOES such a card go, if not in a Cardbus slot? In an expansion bay? It would go in the CardBus slot. CardBus is a next generation PC Card and it's backwards compatible with PCMCIA-standard 16-bit PC Cards. So a 16-bit PC Card (not technically a CardBus card) will work in a CardBus slot. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, and all that.

They are nice machines, but they aren't quite as capable as, say, a Pismo. They're basically a Wallstreet (ok, a little faster, slimmer, and lighter) with a faster CPU and USB. But I don't think they are worth what they go for on eBay. At least, they aren't to me. And that might explain why I don't own one ... yet. ;-) But they do have native USB so they can run Panther.

No, the Airport card while physically similar in size, shape and connector to PC Card (PCMCIA) is not in any way compatible.

Where DOES such a card go, if not in a Cardbus slot? In an expansion bay? Seems I deleted all my Airport and Ethernet and networking software when I upgraded from 8.1 to 9.1 (at a user group - I only actually have the 9.04 CD and 9.1 upgrade download). I should mention that my intent is to be able to use my WS on the road at a hot spot, not at home (thus I'm not looking for a base station right now) I understand now what you are getting at. The WallStreet has CardBus slots true. CardBus slots however are a superset of PC Card (PCMCIA). CardBus can handle faster transfers. So your WallStreet can use either CardBus or simple PC Card devices. For 802.11b (11Mbps) you only need PC Card. For this the Agere or Orinoco cards will work directly with Apple's Airport software under OS 9. This is what I used prior to migrating to OS X on my WallStreet. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

However, since the card expects an external antenna, You wouldn't be able to do much with it in your Wallstreet. The cards that were, at least, in the graphite AirPort Base Station were Lucent Silver card. Apple didn't even remove the sticker on the cards and these had, of course, the external antenna on the card itself as opposed to the Apple AirPort ones... The base stations did use WaveLAN Silvers but AFAIK the Airport card was not standard PCMCIA. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The internal slot is definitely CardBus, and the card is definitely keyed as CardBus, and the PC Card SDK's TuppleDumper tool treats the card as CardBus. If it quacks like a duck... It's CardBus, NOT PCMCIA.
