G4 AlBook as a desktop ???
I have a G4 AlBook 1GHz and I am getting a 19 monitor in order to sit correctly, looking straight forward at the screen instead of 30 degrees downwards. Is it possible to use the AlBook with an external screen only and the built in screen closed, obviously with an external keyboard and mouse ? Are there any particular Energysaver settings required to prevent it from going to sleep ? I haven't tried yet as I haven't got the screen yet. Larry _ Don't just search. Find.

Re: G4 AlBook as a desktop ???
Larry, I've got an AL15 at 1.5Ghz and routinely use it with an external monitor. It will work either with the PowerBook lid open or closed. As to Energy management, simply open Energy Saver from System Preferences and move all settings to Never. However, if you are using a LCD monitor, I'd recommend against never sleeping the monitor as you will accelerate degradation of the illumination lamp.

Re: Lombard vs Pismo
The Pismo is better, hands down. It has the faster bus speed, and a properly supported video card (mostly, it has a couple OpenGL glitches with large textures, but those are from fairly new apps that are written to ignore older cards like the Rage 128). Those two alone make it worthwhile to use over the Lombard, and I have used both. The experience is a lot smoother all around, and the DVD support in OS X for the Pismo is a bonus too. - Adam -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G4 AlBook as a desktop ???
Larry: I have a 15 ALbook 1.25GHz that I routinely use as a laptop / desktop. Presently, as a desktop, it is jacked into a 22 LCD Cinema display (via Apple's DVI to ADC adapter) and a USB keyboard / mouse. The following will go for an external VGA as well. Some thoughts on this configuration: -- Usually when I am ready to use as a desktop, I make sure the system is already booted up and in OS X. Then I close the lid, putting it in pseudo-sleep mode; -- I then plug in the monitor via the DVI adapter, along with the USB connector (the keyboard and mouse are plugged into the USB on the Cinema Display) -- Then I plug in any firewire devices -- Then the audio connector -- And lastly the power connector. What I have found is that the powerbook does not wake up from sleep until I do the last step, i.e., plug in the power supply. It appears the powerbook WILL NOT allow a docked configuration just running off the battery. Also, if you want to span between your monitor and the powerbook LCD display, repeat the above steps and then open your powerbook and set up the span feature by opening System Preferences, selecting Displays, and then choosing Detect Displays. This should cause your powerbook to detect both the external display as well as the powerbooks LCD. As far as the energy saving settings I would recommend, since you must be connected to the A/C adapter to use it in desktop mode, just set all settings to never. FWIW.

regular PB maintenance

I installed the printer drivers, installed the usb card plus drivers, went to chooser and clicked on the HP DeskJet 350 icon. On the right screen of the chooser the only statement that appeared read 'select a HP DeskJet:' this appeared above the dialog box.Nothing appeared inside the box. (e.g. If I click on the color SW Pro icon on the left dialog box what appears on the right box is 'connect to:' then the option given is 'Serial Port' ).

There are utilities like Panther Cache Cleaner that will clean a lot of cache files that are kept by the system. Over time, they tend to grow and it might slow down some operations. There are also the system logs cleaning that is usually performed around 3 in the morning, but that usually don't run on most Macs since most Macs and specially PowerBooks are usually sleeping at that time. A tool like Onyx will let you run those cleaning scripts, although these files should not have impact on performance, they just take more space on the disk. Also, if you haven't restarted your PowerBook in months, restarting will clear up memory and the swap files used for virtual memory which can result in faster performance. Finally, check to see if you did install any kind of utility that might be running in the background and consuming some processing power. You can use Activity Monitor to check whether you have any process that is taking up too much processing power. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G4 AlBook as a desktop ???
This is new to me, I always assumed that the LCDs should be put to sleep as often as possible in order *not* to accelerate degradation of the illumination lamp. Could you elaborate some more? In a tortured double-negative, what he said was he recommends against leaving the monitor on all the time. Yes, it should be allowed to sleep since the cold-cathode tubes used for backlighting have a finite lifetime. Ah, right, now I see it. :) Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

Re: Pismo max ram and floppy options

Re: G4 AlBook as a desktop ??? - Heat
From: mray [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was advised to leave the lid of the Powerbook open, all the way to use the second screen for palettes and toolbars, or at least partially (about halfway) to allow the heat to disipate (from the CPU) not the monitor. With the lid closed the heat will rise right into the screen. Made sense so at least halfway it was. Sounds sensible, however, I use a 12V brushless fan (taken from a PC case) running with a 9V transformer = silent. It faces the back of the PB and the PB has a couple of Mac IIcx rubber blocks (keep it in the family eh) at each back corner. It keeps my otherwise rather hot PB very nice and cool as the air circulates under the machine. Having the lid open shouldn't be a problem as I want the ext. screen quite high to eliminate back problems. I may stick with the PB keyboard as it is rather nice... Larry _ Don't just search. Find.

Re: regular PB maintenance
I bought my 17 1.5 GHz PowerBook last summer, and then installed 2 GB of RAM a few months ago. While I am not running anything high-powered right now, I have not noticed any improvement in going from the 512 RAM to the 2 GB RAM. Not only that, but things are beginning to slow down, as if my hard drive was nearly full. (I have 53 GB left of an 80 GB drive.) I may have asked this question last summer. I am wondering what routine maintenance can/should be done on a PowerBook to keep it in tiptop running condition. Thanks, Claire In my experience, the performance tends to degrade over time, but there is an easy solution. I periodically run the fine and free utility OnyX and have it done the maintenance tasks (like clearing cache files, virtual memory files and all that). My children's BW G3, which I had neglected to do that on for months, all of a sudden seemed like a completely new machine after doing it. Of course, the benefits will not be as evident if you do it regularly, but then again neither will be the degradation :-) As a side bonus, OnyX also lets one control other nice details, like having both scroll buttons in both ends of scroll bars, or adding a quit command to the finder, or safari's debug menu, etc. Incidentally, these routine maintenance procedures are usually preset by the system to occur daily, weekly or monthly at some late night hour (2am, or something), but most people don't keep their macs on overnight, so they are not run.

lombard diablo 2
Hi all. I'm noticing the lombard I recently acquired is having quite a bit of trouble playing diablo II in that there are frequent and significant pauses in the game, esp when the action gets more intense. Since my machine is well above the stated hardware requirements for the game I am wondering whether there may be some other problem. I especially notice clicks from the hard drive periodically that don't sound completely healthy. The machine is a 333mhz with 128mb ram running OS 9.1, and I assume, the original 24x? cd-rom. I have virtual mem on for a total of 256mb ram, and have also increased memory allotted to the game itself- with no noticable improvement in performance. The 4gb hd is about half full. In contrast, my BW desktop with 400mhz and 512 ram plays the same game with nary a problem. Any ideas where the bottleneck could be? Should I invest in more ram for this machine, or would it make little difference? Thanks for any suggestions. bill __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: lombard diablo 2
I had this game for a while and played it on my iBook 466SE with 320Mb ram. It played pretty well, a few pauses here and there which I put down to the 66MHz bus and the slower HDD that spins at 4200rpm. I think this because I also had it loaded on an iMac 450MHz with a 100MHz bus and 5400 rpm HDD. That ran the game with less hiccups, almost perfect I think. Yes, I would invest in more ram for your lombard, but before you do, try messing around with the games settings. You can turn off things like shadows and some sort of 3D trick which can help run the game faster. I think graphic detail can be turned down as well. The other thing is to see if you have the latest version of Open GL installed. You can download this from Apple. In theory that can make a difference too, but I'm not technically minded enough to know if it does. Something like each new version of Open GL improves graphics and maths routines to make things move better... --- alienbill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all.

On the OS9 install CD there should be an option to reformat the drive, make sure it isn't checked. Just update the drivers, this should leave your drive intact. Same goes for the X install CD, don't reformat. Did you use a generic OS9 CD or did you use a CD to restore your machine? The restore CDs will erase the drive and bring it back to original state. Some CDs will let you do reinstallations, others only let you reformat and restore your drive.

Re: Lombard vs Pismo
Pismo is more upgradeable (more processor choices), and most importantly, it has an airport slot (and built-in antenna) and a faster system bus (100 v 66MHz). Otherwise they are about the same. They weigh the same, have the same form factor and share drives and batteries, getting similar battery life.

Re: install 9 on lombard

Re: Pismo HD replacement, 7200 rpm?
I really like my Hitachi 40gb 7200rpm drive. I have a Pismo 400 and my only complaint is that I should've gotten a 60 gb. It did make a peculiar whirring sound after about a month of use but I figured that perhaps the whole sled had gotten jarred--I carry it on a bike quite often--and so I removed the drive sled and put it back and put an eyeglass pad on top for good measure. I haven't heard anything from it since. Oh, and my fan has *never* come on. I really noticed a big speed difference, too. I upgraded from the stock drive, which is 4200 rpm.

Lombard up and running in Panther
Thanks to everyone who shared their knowledge. Installation on my Lombard started out rocky, crashing (garbled video) midway through CD1, until I remembered all the talk about RAM here and removed my upper 256MB module. With just the lower 256MB installed Panther went right on, and continues to run flawlessly with the upper module reinstalled. A Linksys WiFi card (IOExpert's commercial driver required) gives me great reception on my AirPort Extreme network (though of course only at 'b' speed). MS Office 2004 runs beautifully, with very little speed penalty compared to my 1GHHz 12 G4. Panther is a bit slow to boot and doesn't automatically wake when I open the lid, but it does wake reliably with a press of any key. For a basic office-productivity machine, it really gives up very little to my much newer G4.

Snip Andrew If you have the new Proxim Classic Gold Card, Model 8410WD then under OS 8.6 to OS 9.2.2 it will work with Airport software. Other Proxim cards that are new production wont work with Airport Software, but may work with some commercial software. Only 802.11b cards will work under the Clasic OS. Older Lucent WaveLan, Lucent Orinoco, Agree Orinoco, and YDL Wireless cards will work with the built in Airport Software under OS 8.6 to 9.2.2.
