wireless router

[Kathryn Odell]

I am the proud owner of a PowerBook laptop--15"! I'm really enjoying 
it! My question---I'm currently using a NetGear 11.b wireless router, 
but I would like to upgrade to g for the speed. Has anyone done this? I 
noticed that you can get a NetGear for about $29. Has anyone tried it?

Thanks for your comments,
kate

HI Gary,

iTunes 1, 1.1, 2, 2.1 & 2.2 all install on any powerpc mac--any with

Has anyone been able to use iTunes with
a Wall Street w/o OS X?

I use iTunes on several computers, only one of which has native USB. 
They toss that  in to avoid having to deal with third party USB cards 
and any potential problems.

I am using it on a WallStreet but it's running OS X.  But I've used 
it on a Kanga (Original G3 PowerBook), OS 9.1, with NO USB at all.

Clyde,
  What's a 802.11DS card? I know it's a wireless PCMCIA card. But
what's the "DS" all about. And I've seen the "RoamAbout" description
before, but I'm not sure what exactly it refers to.
Thanx,
B0b
A:  Wow a direct question by name and I am so self-conscious of my 
innate ignorance.   Anyway, by now,  B0b (sp?--is that pronounced 
bOHb or bzerob?) you have heard a lot from a lot of people and I have 
learned some things.

	One thing I can repeat is that 802.11(b) probably does go 
farther than (g).

	I thought that the "DS" was something that D-Link used for 
their "super fast" version of their card. Apparently it means: 
"Direct Sequence-compliant wireless network interface card"   and it 
is offered for interasys cards.

As apparently everyone else knows, this is an old crappy standard.
	Anyway, the D-Link "plus" cards that allow you to use their 
faster proprietary system when their router is available.   As far as 
I can tell these cards default down to the the normal standards 
otherwise.

	I really have lots of skepticism about all this stuff.   What 
I do know is that caching and signal selection and switching and 
conflict resolution and so forth are critical for wireless networks 
and this guy at Ohio State came up with the first solution to make 
802.11(b) actually work even thought other faster standards were 
already out.

	Apple licensed some of this stuff from this guy.   I don't 
know about other people but there are huge performance disparities 
with all of this equipment based upon signal strength &  caching and 
so forth.

	Just make sure, if you have some old macs and printers, get 
stuff that transmits appletalk packets.   Some D--link things don't.

Explain the 802.11b Card Description

[Clyde Kahrl]

	I have a couple of Roamabouts I got at Wegener last fall. 
They look like the ones in the picture out there now.   They are 
cheap because they are several years old.  Mine are orinoco because

an ethernet dongle (do they make them for laptops?) before a USB

Read me the part number.  I can't make it out of the pic.  It is in the
format xxx- and sometimes there is an "A" or "B" for revision number.

With that number I can look it up in GSX.

Re: PB G4/400 LCD...help!

[Luis Autrique]

Are you working with battery power or is it plugged? I remember  
that some PB 400 and 500 had problems with the battery connector that  
in some instances it lost contact in cases when handling the computer  
with one hand... It might just be that the battery contact becomes  
loose when you move the computer, and it goes into sleep mode, and it  
is not able to wake up because there is no power.

Just a thought

to sleep.  The mouse/keyboard was responding ok after the restart but
then after it sat for 30min or so, no response from
mouse/keyboard...they freeze on the screen but the machine is still
ok...hard drive and cd work just nothing responds on the screen.

- this is the main problem...it'll be working fine but if you move it,
the screen will freeze (mouse/keyboard no response)...
I've read around and it seems it could either be the cable that feeds
the screen, a damaged logic board or the inverter board (not sure what
that is)
Can anyone helppinpoint, suggest, point me in a direction, suggest
sites, etc, etc?
Thx!

Well, if the keyboard/cursor freezes on screen, that probably rules  
out the
video cable. There might be something loose in it, so, if it was me, I  
would
open it up and check all cable connections, specially the hard drive  
which
will cause the machine to lock up if it is suddenly unplugged. If all
connections are good and it still exhibits the same problems, then  
you're
probably looking at another motherboard...

Wallstreet CPU Identification help

[Mikael Byström]

Can you guys help me with identification of an original Apple card? I
have spare Wallstreet processor daughter card and lack a wallstreet I to
verify what version it is. I testdrove this card once, but I didn't pay
attention to the data, as I was more interested in the upgrade card I had. 
I think the card is either a 233 cacheless or a 250 with 1 MB cache as it
came from a WS I.  I doubt a 292. I'm not sure where to look for the
cache on card, but I put pics of both sides here   and here . Could the Motorola chip on the
underside be the cache? Or where is such located?

Can the serial CK824380YBKFA tell something to us?

I am not sure as to what version of iTunes you're referring to, but I have versions 
(1.1 and up) of iTunes on my Wallstreet, my 3400c and my 2400c. None of which run OSX.

The 3400 runs OS 8.6, in fact. It needed a hack, but everything else is OS9.

FireWire via PCMCIA, Western Digital?

[Mikael Byström]

I've been offered a Western Digital Firewire/iLink PCMCIA Card, but I
have problems finding data on that car on Google. Anyone know anything
about these cards and how they work with Panther? I'm going to use it on
my Powerbook G4 / 400 to get by the dreadful state of the builtin FW and
make use of an additional port for an external soundcard.

Some months ago I got for nuts aD-Link DWL-122 USB Wireless Adapter for my
Lombard and all I had was random OS crashes (OS 10.3.4). Investigating
the German D-link forums I found that he problem was well known, thus I
promptly sold the adapter. They might have released new drivers
in the meantime though...

Apparently the Dell Truemobile 1100 card is the same as the Cisco 340  
card.  If somebody has an old cisco 1100 card lying around I think it  
would be really cool to try the cisco drivers with it in a Mac.  Also  
there is mention mention about the RoamAbout card.

I don't know about the 1100, but I can tell you that the Truemobile 1150 
is actually a re-badged Orinoco Gold. I have one, and have used it with 
the IOExperts driver under OS 9 in my 5300, 3400, and I think in my old 
Wallstreet.

Re: Explain the 802.11b Card Description

[john slavin]

Here is some specs on the RoamAbout card.  I don't know if this is what 
they are selling.  Maybe this will help.

Re: iBook PRAM settings

[Jim Scott]

iBooks do not have a PRAM battery, Instead, they use either AC power or 
battery power. That's why, if you take longer than 15-20 seconds to change 
the battery when it's running on battery power, the PRAM memory goes into 
default mode.

I have no idea what "802.11DS" is. Have you searched on Google for this? If
it's some kind of standard, there should be some documentation available
online.

Explain the 802.11b Card Description

[Bob]

While my keyboard is already heated up replying to other messages, 
let me re-ask a question that I asked a week or so ago, but didn't 
receive any replies to.

A couple of people have recently mentioned the Lucent/Orinoco WiFi 
card available from http://www.wagenermedia.com. The card is 
described on their web-site as a 802.11DS RoamAbout card.

What's a 802.11DS card? I know it's a wireless PCMCIA card. But 
what's the "DS" stand for? And I've seen the "RoamAbout" description 
before, but I'm not sure what exactly it refers to.

Thanx,

B0b

Well it depends on what email client you are using. I confess to 
being pretty one dimensional when it comes to email. I started out 
using Eudora back when Old Yeller was just a pup and I have never 
used anything else. I don't know enough about Apple Mail App or the 
other email clients that are available, to keep my feet warm in the 
desert in August. So I can't tell you how to change yours unless you 
are using Eudora.

But basically, that line is called an Attribution line or Attribution 
string. Your attributing the subsequent quoted material to the 
following person(s). You just need to find out how (reading the 
owner's manual would probably tell you) to change it in your email 
client.

I view attribution strings as inverse .sigs. You can make them your 
own and personalize them. I simply added "The National Enquirer 
reports"  at the beginning of my default attribution string.

BTW kudos for modifying the Subject line of your message and not 
hijacking the previous thread. I know a lot of Internet veterans who 
don't do that.

One final comment: Whenever asking for help or advice, always include 
the pertinent information that will allow others to offer their 
assistance -- application(s) if relevant & version; OS version; 
hardware and model if relevant.

Hope I've helped some,

Bob
