Okay, here is the full situation... I had a working Lombard which fell and 
cracked the screen. The only thing wrong is the screen, but someone with
a 'dead' Pismo was willing to give it up in order that my laptop might live.
I decided it would be cheaper to repair the Pismo, and needed to start
tracking down the culprit. My batteries/AC and the like are all known good
as they are from the Lombard. I couldn't supply a full set of symptoms because
the only symptoms I got was: no sound, no power, no battery charging, no HD
whirr, nothing. Kinda hard to nail something down when you have nothing to
work with, isn't it?

Anyways, it was actually just a logic board 'lock-up' which needed a PRAM
battery disconnect and full reset. Ironic, as the guy isn't even interested
in the laptop anymore. The problem now is that the sound board
does still need to be replaced (sound doesn't work, although the AC does),
and that the firmware on this Pismo is as it was when it left the factory
back in 2000. While it is great to nail down the problem, and I could
replace the board with the Lombard's (in theory), I would rather get a nice
Pismo-oriented Sound/AC board.

That means I have a 40GB 10.3 HD that won't boot, 10.2/10.3 CDs which
twitch out when booting, and 9.0 CDs which are too old to boot to do the 
firmware upgrade. I do have 10.0 and 10.1 CDs which boot great and have no
problems (and sees the RAM I swapped over from the Lombard, which is good).
So, now I have to hunt down a 9.1 install CD so I can boot this sucker, update
the firmware, and then boot back into 10.3 and move forward in college. I also
need this laptop functional within the next few days, as I have obligations
which are being seriously hurt (college and job) because the Lombard was my
work machine away from home, and the Pismo is now tweaking because it wants
new firmware, and I lack a simple install CD. I guess my main option for
now, just so I can do SOME work is to grab my old 4GB drive, install 10.1 on
it until I can procure the 9.1 CD.

That leads me to another question... anyone here have a 9.1 Install CD they are
willing to part with for a reasonable fee? ;)

Adam Thayer

Pray, folks, pray, that what is happening to the iBook list doesn't

The problem here first is how you're going to have access to both drives at
the same time, since you want to transfer from one to the other. Do you have
any USB or FireWire enclosure? Do you have other ways to backup your current
drive so that you can switch the new one and restore on it?

The way I have done such things in the past is to hook up an external
SCSI drive (the only kind I have on hand), boot the machine from a
CD-ROM, copy the internal drive to the external hard drive, shut down
the machine, install the new drive, boot from the CD-ROM again, format
the drive, copy the contents of the external drive to the new internal
drive. Tedious, but...

Re: Slim CD-IDE Adapter in PB G4?

Subject: Slim  CD-IDE Adapter in PB G4?

Is the SlimCD-IDE Adapter, 50 pin to 40 pin, the connector that 
Powerbook
G4 (or Powerbooks in general) use?
Or what is the connector?

The drives are the same - in the Pismo/Lombard the IDE interface is 
through a PC board at the back of the expansion bay carrier. The TiBook 
has a special cable. The cable from the standard DVD will not work with 
anything else like a combo drive, the connectors are on a different 
side.

Re: OSX zero

Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2004 12:24:56 EDT
Subject: OSX  zero
Hello,
Until yesterday, when I acquired a Wallstreet I with a Sonnet 500mhz
processor upgrade w/ OSX installed, I had no experience with the OS, 
except
for seeing it on the Macs at my local Comp USA/Apple Store/Micro 
Centers...

I know Nooo-THing, NOOOoo-Thing! about OSX!
My questions are these:
snip
(3) If I decide to put the HD from the WS into my ibook 300mhz, will it
function properly?  The WS had PC cards for firewire, wifi and USB, 
and the
corresponding software, so I know some adjusting will be needed.

 It won't fit. The standard Wallstreet hard drive was 12mm high, and 
the iBook requires a 9mm drive.

The connectors are different, because the PowerBook G3
have TWO Expansion Bays. One for the battery and the
other for a CD-Rom (or CD-RW), a DVD Rom (or DVD-RW),
a Zip, a second Hard drive, a second Battery, a
Floppy, etc.
So you can put two batteries at the same time (one on
each Bay) so the PowerBook G3 will work for 10 HOURS
!!
That's why you can't use a G3 drive on a G4 (there
are enclosures to connect the drives as FireWire
devices) as internal drives.
This isn't exactly true - the drives themselves are the same, only the 
connectors are different. A drive can be removed from the expansion bay 
to be used on a different computer. I replaced my TiBook DVD drive with 
a combo drive, and later upgraded that to a faster model. Then I took 
it and put it into a Pismo caddy so a friend now has a cool Pismo 
slot-loader. I'm working on adapting a SuperDisk caddy so that the 
slot-loader looks correct.

Re: Pismo troubleshooting

2004-07-31 Thread John W. Travis, MD (Jack)
I'm having a similar problem. Pismo froze, wouldn't restart. Eventually
after many resets, got the HD to spin up but no boot cycle and no video
(external output either). Bought an unused motherboard off ebay and
installed it last night. Dead as a doornail. 7 hrs later, saw 4 green lights
on the battery I used from this pismo, then it spun up like before--didn't
boot.

Below got me thinking processor so I put this one in to the dead
machine--still nothing (I suspect a wait is nec for something to happen with
power on and battery out, like my 1400 required periodically). So I put the
other processor in this one, and got same symptoms. Sure looks like I need a
new processor.

I might as well get a faster replacement (both pismos are 400s). But which
one? Is speed increase significant enough to go to OSX?

I will likely have a virturally new Pismo motherboard for sale too.

Re: Wallstreet G3 will not accept Netscape 7.02

2004-07-31 Thread Yeoleman74
The Netscape 7.02 downloaded to my Syquest drive loads to my G3 - 233 Desktop 
with no problems. I am running 8.6 on both the Wallstreet and the G3 Desktop. 
I purchased an OS 9.04 PowerBook Install Disk which also will not install on 
the Wallstreet. Could my Netscape problem be related to the OS 9 install 
refusal?

As yet I do not have OS 10 so have not tried with the Syquest.

optical drive replacement infos

2004-07-31 Thread Dan K
As usual, I reference my own page as a good place to start:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/ebms.html

However, I don't yet have any infos there about upgrading G4 PowerBook 
and iBook optical drives. That page is still to come awaiting my time and 
inclination.

However, here's some information related to (IIRC) the OP's TiBook 
optical upgrade question. The first generation 400/500 TiBooks use a 
non-standard-form-factor slot-load DVD slim drive, without any extra 
brackets and with a non-standard location for its 50-pin ATAPI connector. 
All later models use a standard-form-factor slim drive equipped with a 
pair of mounting brackets. The cables and mounting brackets are different 
between the 550/667 models and the DVI (667-1gHz) models, neither can 
use cables or brackets from the other series.

Three points specific to the 400/500 models:
A) It is possible to replace a 400/500's optical with a standard 
form-factor slim drive with some additional steps. The original drive has 
no brackets, its rubber mounting grommets attaching directly to the 
drive. Standard form-factor slim drives need brackets, those from a 
550/667 model will work, those from DVI models will NOT.

B) On the couple of swaps I did, with the replacement drive in place the 
case bottom didn't fit. A pair of protrusions need to be trimmed off at 
the front edge of the case bottom to allow it to seat correctly.

C) Also, as Jeff Hubatka pointed out, the cable from the original drive 
won't work with standard form-factor slim drives. A cable from the 
550/667 series will work, but DVI model's cable will NOT work.

To sum up, to install a standard slot-load slim drive into a 400/500 
TiBook, from a TiBook 550/667 you'll need a pair of brackets and an 
interface cable, plus you'll have to trim the case bottom.

Specific to all later models (550-1gHz):
A) Nothing else is needed, just about any slot-load slim optical in the 
standard form-factor should physically fit into the brackets (and 'Book) 
and will attach correctly to the interface cable.

Other Apple models with slot-load drives:
Haven't got any, so I can't offer any specific advice. However, I'd bet 
long odds that all later iBooks and AlBooks use standard form-factor 
drives and therefore should be pretty straightforward swapping candidates.

That is all. :-)

Re: Wallstreet G3 will not accept Netscape 7.02

2004-07-31 Thread Alejandro
Hi.
I have Netscape 7 on my Lombard PowerBook running Mac
OS 8.6 and it works fine.
I believe that you have another problem.
Try trashing the Netscape (and Mozilla) preferences
(System Folder - Preferences - Netscape/Mozilla).
Hope that helps.

Then, depending on what system you run, you have 2 options: if running OS 9,
then you could just drag the folders from the Finder; if running OS X, then
as somebody else mentioned, you can use Carbon Copy Cloner.

The screens aren't the same, but the LCD can be
replaced. Check the page and you will see that the
Pismo and the Lombard can have the same LCD (inside
the cover screen).
Apple changed some things, because they DON'T want
users replacing LCDs on NON Apple Services.
Instead of having cheaper prices, they replaced the
connectors.
Funny, isn't it?

All of these panels are compatible with PowerBook G3s

Where in OS X are the settings for window views saved?

2004-07-31 Thread Zoltan Batiz
Hello All,
For some reason, my settings for only two windows do not save.  
Specifically, my main hard drive window and the applications (for OS X) 
window.  Only these two windows always go to a default setting after 
reboot/cold boot.  Example:  I have everything positioned the way I 
want; icons displayed by kind and the toolbar set to off and the 
icons slightly larger for easier viewing.  I also prefer a background 
image using one of Apple's background images that came with Panther.  
After re-boot, the hard drive window is back to a display similar to 
what you get when popping in a CD-ROM.  The toolbar is set to on and 
the icons are small and un-organized, and the background is gone.  I 
have to manually do everything again to get it back to the way I wanted 
it.  What gives!?  Is this a PRAM issue?  I repaired permissions. . 
.thinking that might of had something to do with it, but nope. . .same 
thing.  I noticed this a few days ago and haven't been able to fix it. 
. .yet.  Any ideas would be helpful.  So far, besides repairing 
permissions, I've reset my PRAM battery (not sure if this has anything 
to do with window view) and I've booted from my Jaguar CD and ran Disk 
Utility to repair my HDD.  Still not fixed.  Thanks for any input,

Re: Where in OS X are the settings for window views saved?

2004-07-31 Thread Alejandro
Hi.
The Windows settings (and icons) are stored on
Invisible files in each Window.
There's an application (TinkerTool) wich can make
those files visible (and invisible again).

Check http://www.versiontracker.com/

Anyway, I'm not sure if once visible, you can trash
them. Other way should be using the Command Line, but
I don't know how.
Hope that helps.

Sleeve for Titanium PB with Tote-n-Tilt?

2004-07-31 Thread Peter Krug
Does anyone have a recommendation on a Sleeve for a Ti PB G4 that has 
the Ti Tote-N-Tilt handle, preferably one that is in the $30 to $50 
range?  I've been looking at the MacCase 15.2 PowerBook sleeve but I'm 
a little concerned about the wrap-around tab not reaching it's velcro 
because of the Ti's handle.  I'm also looking at the SportFolio 15'' 
Shark Skin sleeve, but worried that the handle will get in the way of 
the zipper.

I remember that Brenthaven's Titanium 1 bag's sleeve would barely close 
with the handle.  I'm pretty sure I'm limited to a top-loading sleeve 
because of the handle.

I appreciate any quick replies - I'm getting this for my Mom's birthday 
this week.

Thanks,
Peter

I don't have the TiPB, but like my sleeve.
