work in OSX) and two batteries. Also had an Airport card installed.

Was in a cafe yesterday, used bluetooth and Nokia over GPRS to get 
mail, works great!

Ease of use, upgradeability, tough, expandability and has the ability 
to use current OS and peripherals.

I have now given up my G3 900Mhz iBook, gave it to the girlfriend to 
play the Sims.

In shoe box. In middle of road!

2004-10-06 Thread Stuart Saunders
	I travelled around the world in 1984 with a Fat Mac in the special bag 
on one shoulder, as well as a largish portable stereo nearly as big as 
the fat mac, a fold over suit bag which as well as clothes had an 
imagewriter (yes, an imagewriter!) printer inside the zippered 
'middle', and a brief case and camera case as my carry on bags. And one 
pretty heavy suitcase.

	Love my Pismo. Or should I say, love my Pismos, or will as soon as we 
get the second, just bought on ebay in US and upgraded to G4 550, 
running.

Hi i did not install any drivers i just put the drive in the bay without 
thinking and asp recognizes it, and the drive works fine just takes a 
couple of seconds to load a disc.
And before i get loads of replies to this i mean about 4 seconds not 
minutes. I can write to the disc and also install bits from it and it 
reads 100mb or 250mb discs, the discs when inserted show up like a 
installer drive in X all white.

Green light and spinning fan (Wallstreet PB)

2004-10-06 Thread Nils Mueller-Scheessel
After an internal surgery in my Wallstreet PB (250 MHz, Serie I), the 
PB is apparently dead. When I press cmd-shift-fn-power, the green 
light switches on and the fan starts spinning forever; this only 
stops when I press the key combination again.
I searched the net, and the symptoms seem to be quite common. 
However, the reasons for this behaviour are apparently far from 
clear: some say it is the logic board, other say it is the processor 
and some say that all was okay after letting the PB alone for a 
while. Has anybody on the list a more definite answer? Is there still 
hope for my Wallstreet?

Many thanks in advance,
Nils

On mine, it turned out to be the processor card. You could
get lucky and fix it by reseating the processor card. Press
it FIRMLY into place.

Re: Green light and spinning fan (Wallstreet PB)

2004-10-06 Thread Ben Dyer
The Wallstreet has no hard reset switch, so that key combination does the job.

As others have said, you probably just need to re-seat the processor module. I've had 
similar symptoms after overclocking a board too much, or forgetting to push it all the 
way back into the slot. If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to track down a 
replacement module on eBay. Most of them are for the Series II machines, but there 
must be some Series I modules floating around somewhere.

 After an internal surgery in my Wallstreet PB (250 MHz, Serie I), the

 when I press the key combination again.
 I searched the net, and the symptoms seem to be quite common. However, 
 the reasons for this behaviour are apparently far from clear: some say 
 it is the logic board, other say it is the processor and some say that 
 all was okay after letting the PB alone for a while. Has anybody on 
 the list a more definite answer? Is there still hope for my 
 Wallstreet?

 Many thanks in advance,

 Nils

This might seem like a silly question but why would you ever push that 
particular keyboard combination?
