Well, it looks like the Apple AirPort driver doesn't recognize the card. You
might want to try a driver that is known to support that card...

Airport problems

[Mike McGinnis]

Hi All,
I have been learning from this list for a while and I
now have a problem I haven't been able to solve on my
own. I have a Lombard with OS 10.3.6 which I have
recently decided to change to a Belkin  G pcmcia card
from an Orinoco Silver B card, I uninstalled the
sourceforge drivers I was using with the Belkin card,
in case they were causing a conflict. I understood the
Belkin should be recognized under airport extreme as a
compatible card, it shows on the tool bar as a Ralink
Technology RT2500 card. When I try to start airport
setup it says there is no airport card installed. It
acts like it doesn't have the proper drivers loaded.
What am I missing? After 4 hours on Google I give up I
need some expert help.

Thanks Mike

Hello Kevin:
Congrats on your new baby and new Pismo.
I would recommend iMovie 2 for video editing. I tried iMovie 3 (or was  
it 4?) on my Pismo 400MHz/768MB RAM and it was really slow and skipped  
way too many frames.

I second that emotion, but if you shut off all the bells and whistles 
on your 'book you might like Civ III, it's the best.  I still play it 
once in a while.  If you like adventure games that don't require a lot

Re: ibook

I'd say a bad logic board, I've seen several with furring in the region of
the battery contacts that don't charge batteries.

Make sure the battery contacts are good and the springs etc are there.

You could try swapping the DC board over, but my money is on a bad logic
board.

Unfortunately he said he had no Classic so that leave
out Civ 2 but Civ 3 works just fine on a G3 333 if you
don't have all the animations on and its X native.

Also there is Escape Velocity Nova. It is X native and
doesn't need a mouse.

I think that iMovie should fill the ticket for your video editing needs.

However, as far as first shooters are concerned, don't have too much
expectations. The Pismo video subsystem is about 5 years old and is not up
to the task of running demanding games due to its limited video memory (only
8MB) and its relatively slow and primitive GPU. You will probably be able to
run games that came out 2 or 3 years ago if you keep the video settings to a
minimum. Warcraft III, for example, was running on my previous Pismo (with a
500MHz G3 processor), but I had to set the video settings to low. I also ran
Alien vs. Predator (the initial version, I didn't even dare to try the
sequel) and No One Lives Forever was also running OK.

Welcome to the Mac world, BTW!

-Laurent.

Possible messed up battery connections, perhaps the PMU section of the

Hi all i know this is a bit OT but what type of airport card does the 
ibook 14.1 600mhz take it is the 2002 model. also what type of ram does 
it take and how easy is it to change a pmu board in one of these.

TIA vicki

It's not possible to show the correct link and end up anywhere else if
you use only text, but it's equally true of course that a HTML link may
point to something else. Which is why a status preview is vital in HTML
email clients.
What would be even better? A warning when you are about to follow an 
obfuscated link. I think we'll see some of this soon, I vaguely 
remember mentions of this kind of solutions already being implemented 
in some email clients/browsers. I also presume junk filters are pretty 
sensitive to this kind of stuff.

what do you recommend?
Glider, a good old moldy-oldie is available for free. 
 strictly a two finger game, left and 
right arrows.

Of course, you may not want to be *in* a plane watching a paper 
airplane crash and/or burn all the time ;-)

Deimos Rising is another cool game that doesn't require a mouse 
: In fact Ambrosia could be your 
one-stop shop for cool games.

Burning Monkey Solitaire is a non-action game. 


While at Freeverse, download the free Jared, Butcher of Song. Annoy 
your seat mates!

Return to Castle Wolfenstein runs well on my 400MHz
G4, very well actually, and would probably be good on
your Lombard if you disabled some of the graphics
enhancements (low detail, etc).

Re: Dead Lombard

[Mikael Byström]

Tom Burke said:

>Is their day finished?
Not in such a sweeping way as your way of putting it suggest.
It's not the common Mac users that subscribe to a list such as this one.
This is a specialist crowd. And the list cater to people that like older
machines, right? So where else would you be more likely to find older
machines breaking (in itself a reason to subscribe).

Of course, there are break and tear that will shorten the life of any
Powerbook especially if they occur in the context of the specific
weaknesses of different machines (hinges being one spot). But I'd still
like to maintain that unless ones needs are greater than the power such a
machine can give - and to many the needs aren't -, a Wall street and a
Pismo could be working for years to come *if taken care of*. Perhaps this
is true also for the Lombard, but I wouldn't know myself.

Also, remember that many newer machine break too. 
I personally have yet to meet a machine that couldn't be fixed, sometimes
it was too costly for me, but for anyone that feel their needs are being
met with the machine in question, that might be acceptable.

That said, I'd rather recommend Titaniums for many people. But that's
another story.
And $500 for a Lombard is too much. But the market is also the market.

Re: new hd for pismo

What 7200 HD's doesn't consume a lot more power than 4200 ones? Or is
more power consumption unaviodable? Are Fuijitsu 5500 fast enough and is
perhaps to be preferred to 7200? I remember Fuijitsu meant that because
of how dense they stored info, their HD's would be faster than the speed
indicates.

Re: Successful overclock 250MHz -> 300MHz

[Nils]

Just an update for anyone who actually reads these posts.

I had previously reported running my WSI 250MHz at 292MHz and having it
overheat. I startedrunning OS 9 to see if it helped the situation any.
The machine appeared to work ok, but would also freeze in 9 when it was
sitting on my lap. I checked out the Energy Saver control panel and found
'allow processor cycling'. I enabled that an all my stability problems
went away. The machine worked perfectly at 292MHz. When sitting running,
the machine would go down to ~65 Celsius. During CPU intensive use, it
would rise to 86 Celsius or more. But I didn't want to stop at that.

I currently believe the fan in my machine is malfunctioning. It never comes
on unless you're resetting the unit with the 4 key combination. The hottest
the reported CPU temperature was 96 degrees Celsius. And at that point,
the fan absolutely should have come on.

After using the laptop for a while, I wanted to experiment more with changing
the FSB and multiplier. In my previous attempts, when using a 66MHz FSB I could
not get the multiplier to go above 3.5 (83*3.5=292MHz or 66x3.5=233MHz).
Thinking that maybe I had missed something, I wanted to try again.

I moved the FSB speed back down to 66MHz and started at a multiplier of 3x.
I successfully got the machine to run at 200, 233, 266, 300 and 333MHz.
Unfortunately, at 333 it took about 5 minutes before the heatsink was saturated
and could not dissipate the heat fast enough which caused the CPU to lock up.

So, right now I'm running in OS 9 with the cpu set to 300MHz with a multiplier
of 4.5. Watching Gauge PRO, it's reporting the cpu temperature as stable at 
82 Celsius. It is currently sitting atop my lap while I'm wearing jeans.

So, since I have 10.3.6 running on this laptop, and I wanted the faster cpu
so I could enjoy my OS X expeience a little more, I had to try it.

To aleviate any heat buildup by my using the laptop on my lap, I had shut 
then machine off for an hour, then set it on the coffee table and fired it
up. It booted into OS X without incident. I did notice that the bottom didn't
get as warm as when I was running it at 292MHz, which caused the machine to
overheat.

So, everything appeared to be working nicely in OS X. I remembered that I
had downloaded CPU Director from PowerLogix and was experimenting with my
cache settings in OS 9. For sh_ts and giggles I decided to see if the app
was designed to work in OS X. Low and behold, it does!

There is a wonderful feature in CPU Director under the 'Options' tab.
It's called "Enable Dynamic Power Management on Restart". This is a
wonderful feature because I found the following statement on their web
site regarding CPU Director and Energy Conservation..

  "Dynamic power management does not result in a performance degradation
  and thus it is recommended that it always be enabled. On some older
  Macintosh models, it may not be enabled automatically by the firmware,
  ROM or Mac OS, so it is recommended that you use CPU Director to ensure
  that it is properly enabled at boot time."

Quoted from the CPU Director web site at :

http://www.powerlogix.com/products/cpudirector/index.html

So I believe, maybe incorrectly, that when the WSI boots up, the cpu cycling
isn't enabled by default. In OS9 I had turned the feature on, which was
probably enabled when the Energy Saver extension was loaded.

But that option doesn't exist in the Energy Saver control panel in OS X.

When installing the application, it installs a kernel extension called PLKEXT.
After installing it, and rebooting, I found this in my dmesg.

PLKEXT: PowerLogix Kernel Extension, version 41F09 loading
PLKEXT: Got machine model name"OPEN,PowerBook1998".
PLKEXT: Got default CPU clock rate of 3 Hz.
PLKEXT: Got OS release number 7.6.0.
PLKEXT: Found 10.3.x or later kernel.
PLKEXT: CPU 0: Initializing
PLKEXT: CPU 0: Getting PVR
PLKEXT: CPU 0: Getting HID0
PLKEXT: CPU 0: Getting HID1
PLKEXT: CPU 0: Getting L2CR
PLKEXT: CPU 0: Getting temp
PLKEXT: CPU 0: Detecting L2CR type
PLKEXT: CPU 0: Registering sysctl handlers
PLKEXT: PowerLogix Kernel Extension finished loading
PLKEXT: CPU 0: PowerLogixL2CR (750/7400/7410) changed to 0xB528

The line ending in 'Getting temp' is SO DAMN USEFUL! The extension sets up
some additional MIBs that you can retrieve with sysctl. Most importantly
hw.PowerLogixTemp which contains the value of the CPU core temperature.
I currently have a terminal running a small shell script that prints the
core temperature.

  tcsh# cat ~/bin/temperature
  #!/bin/bash
  /usr/sbin/sysctl hw.PowerLogixTemp
  sleep 5

Right now, sitting on my lap in bed, the temperature is..

  tcsh# repeat  ~/bin/temperature
  hw.PowerLogixTemp: 85

So I am now successfully running OS X on a 250MHz WSI @ 300MHz. This is great! 

This post is more informational and for those who want to experiment
with their laptop. I did update the web site with all the details about
what to change for the multiplier and FSB. It
