Older Powerbook G4

Steve just smiled and shrugged. Also, I have BookEndz for my PowerBook G4 and it looks like there aren't any for the 17 PowerBooks. This is the only question that any of us can answer. No, there is none. Probably because ports are on both sides of the new PowerBooks. Seriously, only Steve and Company know when anything is coming out. The PowerBooks were revved not too long ago. The big Mac hoohaw in January is a prime time for hardware and software announcements so maybe the PowerBooks will be revved then but don't hold your breath for a G5 PowerBook.

Pismo in Profound Vegatative State
My 2000 Pismo running OS10.2 has become near impossible to boot. Early symptoms were freezes in Mail and occasionally Safari. As the disease progressed the Pismo required repeated attempts to get it to fully boot and frequent crashes with a lot of UNIX error messages on the screen. Now it will only boot as far as the screen coming on with the Apple logo and occasionally the little thingy starts spinning. I haven't been able to get it to boot any farther the last few days. I've tried the easy fixes- reinstall OS, reset by button on back, checked PRAM battery and it shows the proper 6 volts.

XCode / gcc optimization
Sorry if this is a liittle off topic. If it is, pointers in the right direction greatfully appreciated A while back I knocked up some math benchmarks on my trusty G3 Pismo under Metrowerks CodeWarrior (a somewhat out of date(vanilla C) version which came out for 603/604e era)... and was pleasantly surprised to see it performed these tasks faster than a Win2000 laptop (1GHz P4) and Sun Ultra60. I've now upgraded to a G4/450 based Mac and purchased OSX which so far is great. The old compiled code runs OK under classic. I tried recompiling these benchmarks under gcc ( x-code) using the -O3 flag and set up for a G4. The surprise is that these takes FIVE TIMES LONGER when recompiled than the old code under classic.

I've read a few times that it doesn't generate the fastest code. You have to carefully setup those flags in order to get the most out of it. Did you try this with a brand new Xcode project or a ProjectBuilder project updated to Xcode? Or was it an imported CodeWarrior project? If you haven't tried, I would suggest starting a brand new Xcode 'tool' project. You might also consider getting on Apple's email discussion list.

Dead Wallstreet
I know this has been talked about before, but I would like to ask anyway. I have a Wallstreet that will not boot. It has been behaving fine with a clean Jaguar install. I left it sleeping for a while then come back and nothing. Try to restart, nothing. I try to do the pram reset holding function, control and shift and hitting the power button. The fan spins and light blinks. Do it again the fan goes off. Try to boot normally nothing, not even the light blinking. So I figured I would break it open and unplug the pram battery. Once I got it open, I forgot how big of a job it was to get to it, so I just unplugged the PMU for a minute or so. Tried it out, same thing. I am just going to have to unplug the pram, or could it be something else? Any tips to getting to the pram plug? Thanks, Pat -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Dead Wallstreet
With all due sympathy, My wallstreet does not like to wake from sleep. It does however reboot to OS9 when this happens. I have replaced the hard drive on my poor beast and that has caused me to recommend the following voodoo trick. Take a metal object ( I have used pocket knives, watches, tiny magnets be verwwy cawwfull here and pass it along the right hand side of the wallstreet while holding down the power on/off button. The portion of the side adjacent to the keyboard seems to be more significant than the portion of the right side of the palm rest, mouse pad. Repeat a couple of times before abandoning. Good luck.
