Re: How to control fan on Wallstreet in OS X ?

The amount of RAM, size of the hard drive, PC cards, modem use, what apps are being used, and especially the ambient temperature all effect the temperature of the PB. But, to help you somewhat, my internal fan (WS II) doesn't come on until 172-176 degrees F. I'm still experimenting with this WS trying to get the fan to come on. I'm running OS 9.2.2 and watching the temperature with GaugePRO v1.1. So far, I've had the unit up to 86 degrees celcius, 187 degrees fahrenheit and still the fan is not coming on. I've only one reference point from Bob whos WSII fan came on between 172-176 degrees farenheit. It'd be nice if some other people chimed in reporting the temperature that their fans come on. While running OS 9, I got to play with the Energy Saver features. 'Allow Processor Cycling' is a great feature. But when looking through the options in 10.3.4 I didn't notice anything that looked like 'allow processor cycling'... Doing a little research, I found a good explanation of how processor cycling works.. - All PowerBook models implement a feature called processor cycling - (formerly known as processor rest) intended to save battery life. - This feature activates when the computer detects that the keyboard, - mouse, trackball, or Trackpad has not been used for more then a few - seconds. At this time, the processor speed is reduced to about - 3 MHz and all processing functions become extremely slow. Processor - cycling will not activate while the computer is doing any sort of - data transfer. When I was running 10.3.4 on this machine, it got warm and stayed warm until the machine locked up. That is, even if I wasn't typing, using the track pad, or transferring data to disk, cd or over the network. But, when running OS 9 with processor cycling turned on, the machine would start to cool down, until I started using it again. A good example is right now. I'm typing this email up, and while thinking about what to write, the machine drops a few degrees when I'm not typing.. Then when I start typing again, the cpu goes up a few degrees. Which makes sense if the description of 'processor cycling' above is correct. Does anyone know of the status of 'processor cycling' in OS X? Or have any urls or notes regarding it in the different releases of OS X? (10.1, 10.2, 10.3) Anyways.. Still testing.. -nils -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I just got one a few weeks ago for a DVD drive I had which is region-free. I spotted it from eBay, checked it out, confirmed with the seller that it could be used with a DVD drive, bided on it and won it. I think it was like $15, with 2 FireWire ports and 1 USB 2.0 port. You just have to make sure that they specifically say you can put a CD or DVD drive in it. Mine can be used both for a DVD drive or hard drive. When using a hard drive, there is a face plate that you put on, but not if you use it with a DVD drive. Of course, the look will be better if your drive matches the color of the enclosure. My enclosure is black while my DVD drive is beige, but that doesn't bother me too much. I just want to watch non-Region 1 DVDs on my PowerBook without having to switch the drive's region setting, specially that after 5, it locks on whatever region you choose. Until someone comes out with a region-free firmware for it, I'll use the external drive for those DVDs.

Re: Safari problem.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I managed to get it repaired. The permissions did not do much, I try to repair them on weekly basis anyway. What I did... Initially I downloaded Safari 1.2 from Apple's site, and then proceeded with 10.3.6 update. However, that did not change anything. Later I realized that there's probably a huge gap between original 1.2 and newest 1.2.4... so I installed original 1.2 again, and then installed the 10.3.6 *Combo* update. (It's probably common knowledge, but Combo includes all updates to 10.3, while the normal version only from 10.3.5. The former is, quite naturally, a 3x bigger download than the latter.) That managed to do the trick. It's still a mystery why it happened in the first place, but at least it's good now.
