 hi - thanks Kyle, i tried reseating it again, with the

 also be the processor?

I am an Apple Certified Technician.  That error code is definitely RAM.
Replace that SODIMM and see what happens.

Re: Lombard sleeps, and sleeps and sleeps... WAKIE WAKIE!!

2004-11-08 Thread Larry le Mac
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Lombard 400 with OS X.3.5
Whenever it goes to sleep it doesn't wake up whatever
one presses or does.

I found this problem on both a Lombard and a Pismo,
when I installed a 3rd party Combo CD-RW/DVD in place
of the original DVD reader. The problem was that the
Combo wasn't set to Master.
I will try it without the DVD.
HOWEVER!! When I double checked the power settings, it was
set to never sleep, so how come it goes to sleep ???
The mains power is connected.

That said, a Wallstreet can be a worthwhile OS X machine for some

I have a Wallstreet that alreaday had a 466 MHz upgrade card, 384 MB 
RAM (when I've got all my chips in) and a 20 GB HD - I haven't tried X 
yet, but am contemplating putting it on and using the machine in the 
kitchen for recipes and radio/audio books.  I'll be much happier having 
that in my kitchen than putting my 17 so near so many accidents 
waiting to happen!  (Spills, floury fingers, etc.)

I'm going to X instead of 9 because I've been putting recipes into Yum! 
on my PB 17 and that only runs in X.  Plus with X sleep might actually 
work so I won't have to restart each time I want to check a recipe.

The one think I want to add is a wireless card (for the internet radio 
 allrecipes.com/epicurious.com), which I haven't done yet.  I 
understand going to X complicates this, but I've only done casual 
reading, not serious research, so far.

I'll report back how I do, when I get around to actually doing this.  
(Right now I'm redoing my house so there's no room on the kitchen 
counter for even a laptop.)  If anyone has any comments on this use, 
let me know!

David,

512MB was never from Apple and definitely third party. The Pismo initially
shipped with 64MB of RAM in the lower slot. So, if you have any memory chip
that is larger than this, it's most likely not from Apple and can definitely
cause problems. Some memory will work for some time and then, after a while,
due to heat and lower tolerance to voltage, they might start to fail.

So, if I was you, I would remove all memory and try with a DIMM that is 64MB
in size and known to be from the original configuration.

-Laurent.

If your SE phone has an IrDA (Infrared) port [such as T68i and later], 
you can use GSM Remote [check on VersionTracker] to connect it to the 
Pismo under OS9. This will allow you to back up your phone number 
information to Pismo.

You can do the same ( more) on OSX if you use the free Ericsson Client 
[again see VersionTracker]. It can connect via IrDA  Bluetooth, and 
allows you to back up your phone numbers, camera pictures etc.

It *is* there and it *is* working.
It's just not working the way you want. :)

Apple includes with OS 8/9 an extension called UDF Volume Access.
It supports only the ancient ancient UDF 1.02 formatted discs.  The
difficulty is that you're probably using UDF 1.5 or 2.0 or 2.0.1
formatted discs!  The solution is to install a updated extension.

Adaptec UDF Volume Access, with supports those newer standards, is
available for free from Roxio (who bought out Adaptec).

http://www.roxio.com/

I was aware of the different UDF versions but didn't know the 
specifics of either the Apple UDF extension or the Adaptec UDF 
extension. And I wasn't aware of the updated Adaptec extension. Good 
to have the latest info. Thanks, Dan.

BTW, you may remember that in the past (OS 8.5/6) there was some 
conflict between Adaptec's extension and Apple's UDF extension. 
Re-ordering those two extensions so that Apple's preceded Adaptec's 
solved the conflict (and the 3rd-party Joliet Volume Access Extension 
also clashed with these extensions until it was placed ahead of them).

I'm wondering if any re-ordering is necessary with the new Adaptec 
extensions? Have any knowledge on that?

Pismo hinges died.

2004-11-08 Thread Geoffrey Loeffler
My favorite Pismo has definitely turned 90. The screen hinges are near 
lifeless, the road from a inch or 2 of play to full tilt flat either 
was rather fast, about 3 months and I baby this puppy. It was bought 
used about years ago. I have been inside Pismos to replace most 
everything including the power inverter(?) to the screen on my 
daughters Pismo.

The $5.00 part under the  anti beam alien beam and power button. So I 
have lifted that hold your breath part off. I am away from all my how 
to do info and the airport screeners are going to check her in a day or 
so and I can just see it go flop.
I do remember something back there that would tighten the hinges, just 
not clearly enough and W/O better directions do not want to tear apart 
anything. Anyone been spelunking back there lately ?
Thanks
Geoff

Re: Pismo G4 550

Laurent,
	I must disagree,
	I have just had a Pismo 400 upgraded to 550 G4 (Daystar) and it is 
performing very well, much much faster than my other original 400 G3. 
(being overseas, I bought another Pismo in the states on eBay and had 
it upgraded. - was never without a laptop during upgrade, now have two. 
Probably will keep orig as backup.)
	Took me a while to get the G4 sorted (due to bad backside cache - reqd 
new processor) but now working very well.
	I cannot use Skype on orig Pismo, but on G4 it works very well - one 
hour phone call last night very high quality, just a short period of 
static. Currently watching Ansari X prize video - playing well - but on 
orig the video and audio kept dropping out.

	So looking forward to a few more years Pismoing - just love the form 
factor.

Stuart.
	P.S. Also put in a 60 gig 7200 rpm Hitachi which may be part of the 
good speed but it also vibrates unacceptably. Appears to be getting 
less so must be bearing rumble? Out of balance does not tend to cure 
itself, AFAIK?

What are the advantages between the G3 upgrades over the G4 upgrades?
I looked around a bit and found a couple of companies that are doing
this...
A G4 basically provides you with Altivec, which certain applications 
require
or will perform a lot better if you have it. However, in term of raw
performance, there isn't a lot of difference between a 500MHz G3 and a
500MHz G4, certainly not enough to justify the price of the upgrade...

How much did you pay for that upgrade? Plus, the original poster was asking

not that sure...

BUAG // n.: [abbreviation, from alt.fan.warlord] Big Ugly ASCII Graphic.
Pejorative term for ugly ASCII art, especially as found in sig blocks. For
some reason, mutations of the head of Bart Simpson are particularly common
in the least imaginative sig blocks. See warlording.
