Is the 2nd CD an original one or a copy? Did you notice if the install would
fail at the same place and if so, what was the installer installing?

Gates's Law: "The speed of software halves every 18 months." This oft-cited
law is an ironic comment on the tendency of software bloat to outpace the
every-18-month doubling in hardware capacity per dollar predicted by Moore's
Law. The reference is to Bill Gates; Microsoft is widely considered among
the worst if not the worst of the perpetrators of bloat.

I don't remember where you got that Wallstreet but from the problems you
mention, it seems that it was abused quite a bit. It definitely shouldn't
feel doggey when comparing it to a 2400, if running the same OS version, of
course. With all the problems you list, I would say that the hard drive is
probably is bad shape too...

Blue Screen of Death n.: [common] This term is closely related to the older
Black Screen of Death but much more common (many non-hackers have picked it
up). Due to the extreme fragility and bugginess of Microsoft Windows,
misbehaving applications can readily crash the OS (and the OS sometimes
crashes itself spontaneously). The Blue Screen of Death, sometimes decorated
with hex error codes, is what you get when this happens. (Commonly
abbreviated BSOD.)

OSX 10.3 install fails on disk 2

[Rad Craig]

I got my little sis a Pismo for college, for xmas.  I just got it and 
am installing 10.3 on it.  I blew the drive away, formatted OSX 
extended (journaled) and started from scratch.  I unchecked all the 
languages and printer drivers.

Disk 1 finished without problems.  I reboot, get promted to insert disk 
2 and it gets almost done, to about 9 minutes remaining, then says 
something like 'errors were encountered during installation' and the 
button changes to 'quit'.

I have done this twice now, with two different Disk #2's and got the 
same error both times.

After the first install, I was doing the software update, which was 
quite a list, and it hosed up on the last item in the list, which is 
all the 10.3 updates for OSX (like 97MB).  Then it would no longer 
connect to the internet via ethernet.  I restarted twice, repaired disk 
permissions, but that didn't fix anything.  I mounted the disk 2 and 
ran the install.pkg manually and it finished without problems, but 
still acted flaky.  I tried to reboot on a recovery CD I have, but when 
I selected it in 'startup disk' and clicked reboot, it would just sit 
there and never reboot.  So I closed startup disk and restarted it via 
the apple menu, held the 'c' key down during boot, and it ignored it 
and booted to the HD like normal.

So after all these strange things, I decided I'd try it all again, used 
a different disk 2 cd, but got the same results.

This is a Pismo, 400mhz, 11.2G HD, 192MB.
Any suggestions?  I've got to have this thing all setup for her by xmas 
eve.

Re: Pismo crack

[Stuart Saunders]

Kate,
	I doubt that your Pismo is breaking up. Both my Pismos have cracks - 
one at the wedding line in front of the trackpad clicker, where the 
plastic rejoins after flowing around the clicker hole. The other one 
has had a crack in the left palmrest since nearly new - i tripped over 
the ethernet cord and the Pismo went flying. Only other effect was that 
the power cord became easy to insert! To prevent this happening again, 
I now run any wires (ethernet, power, phone etc) around the legs of the 
table or desk 2 - 3 times before crossing the floor. Worst you can get 
then is a broken wire, instead of a broken Powerbook.

	If you are still worried about it, do you have a picture of the crack? 
Any change? Any idea what caused it?

Regards,
Stuart.

the computer at this point? Has anyone else had this problem?

No DHCP on Walstreet Ethernet (was not-so-dead)

[CR]

I found the RJ45 jack on the back of the Wallstreet.
Plugged in direct rather than my Falleron PCMCIA card.
Turned on Apple Ethernet Ext.
TCP selects Ethernet but DHCP produces no numbers.
Suggestions.
Thank you.

Re: DHCP connection

[Richard Smykla]

CR,
the "work" network I had similar results only this time DHCP connected
thoroughly but browsers and e-mail clients did not connect.
Does your workplace network use a proxy-server? That would explain 
success on DHCP assignment, but failure on web and email activity.

Walstreet not-so-dead update 2

[CR]

OK, I managed to get 9.1 installed.
The power adapter definitely seems finicky.
sometimes the battery lights come on, sometimes not.
The CD drive seems faulty, very noisy in any case.
Now running 9.1 it seems to boot and while I haven't tried
to run very many apps, it seems to work.
I must say though in general this Wallstreet seems a little doggey
in comparison to my 3400
The PCMCIA cage seems faulty.
Quite difficult to get a card to seat properly.
this might be the reason that even though DHCP gives me all the numbers
browsers and e-mail clients do not connect. (similar problem I'm 
having with a GRPB on a different network)

Ongoing advise is appreciated.

Wallstreet

[Steven J Haack]

I have a wallstreet 300mhz. It needed a new pram battery which I 
replaced. The main power battery was dead at that time. After running 
the computer a few days with no trouble I shut it down and turned it 
back on 2 days later. The clock had jumped forward by about 20 years. I 
didn't think much about it. I replace the main battery and it seemed to 
work fine. This last week I turned on the machine and it doesn't show 
the charge symbol(with the power cord attached) and the new battery is 
dead and the charging bays wont charge the battery or a known good one. 
I have tested all the batteries on a good wallstreet same model. Is the 
problem with the PMU or the charging board. BTW The new battery is 
completely dead it refuses to take a charge. Thank you for any help you 
can provide.

Re: PC card transfer between powerbook 1400 and 12" G4 powerbook

[Andrew]

I have found the USB controller on the 12" G4 (I have
the 1GHz model) to be picky.  It works great with most
of my USB peripherals, but with an external hard drive
is would write at full speed, but freeze and
eventually lock the entire machine if I tried to read.
 

I replaced that USB2.0 case with a combo USB
2.0/FireWire case that one works fine through both
interfaces.

The moral of the story is that at least my 12" PB is
picky about what goes into the USB port.  Why not
connect the two computers with an ethernet crossover
cable, or if the 1400 has no ethernet card, moce the
files to the iMac and then connect the iMac and 12" G4
with an ethernet crossover cable.  Probably your
easiest bet.

PC card transfer between powerbook 1400 and 12" G4 powerbook

[Andrew in Ann Arbor]

My Dad just got a new 12" G4 Aluminum powerbook and is having problems
transferring data from his powerbook 1400.
He has been using a Lexar USB card reader to move data from the 1400 to
his iMac (OS 8.1 and 9.2.2 respectively).
However when he plugs the card reader into the G4 'book it doesn't work.
I'm suspecting that the particular card reader isn't supported in OSX.
Has anyone got any other suggestions?
Any recommendations on card readers known to work with OSX?
Thanks

Re: Mixed wireless network

Thanks for the quick response.  Yeah, might be a silly question, but 
you know how finicky winblows machines can be, so I thought I'd drop in 
the question just the same, seeing as how NOTHING I've ever done on 
that PC was easy.

It is like Ethernet. It just doesn't matter if the computer is running 
Windows, Mac OS or AmigaDOS for that matter, so long as the ethernet 
port responds like an ethernet port is supposed to. That's all the 
base station 'sees'. You won't be able to administer it from the PC, 
but you don't have to.

The only trouble you might have is if you've restricted the Base 
station to only certain hardware addresses, you will have to add the 
new card to the list, but beyond that it's a little like asking if you 
need new electrical wiring to plug in a PC versus a Mac.

Re: Virtual Network Computing

[Peter Stein]

You're welcome Bob.

May I conclude from the above that if I have mom...
1. Check the box for Apple Remote Desktop in Preferences > Sharing,
and
2. Check the box for  in the resulting window and also check all
the
other boxes that appear in that window, then click ...
...that her Mac is now "armed and ready", so to speak, in the same
fashion it would be had she turned on Share My Desktop?

YES! Apple made it that easy on a recent update - tres cool. Since she is at
the other end, it'll be a charge for her to see you control her mac. Don't
forget to set up the password.

If that's the case then, in other words, Apple Remote Desktop is a
replacement for Share My Desktop, no?

Yeehaww yes!

Do I then run Chicken, fill in her IP address and connect?

Cooking with chicken -
#1 -- insert ip address of mom's location (generally speaking of course, I
take it that you've got this part solid)
#2 -- insert default port for Apple Remote Desktop -- 5900 (on some VNC apps
you will be inserting IP.ADD.RE.SS::PORT, i.e. 24.112.23.111::5900)
#3 -- definitely use a password, and also - does mom have a hardware
firewall (i.e. router/gateway)? If her connection is direct from DSL/CABLE
modem to her Mac, then her OS X will handle the firewall. If not, then the
router needs to manage the forwarding of port 5900 to the Mac's local
network IP address as I mentioned in my first post.
#4 -- click shared display and save password, also, have mom set her desktop
to 640x480
#5 -- connect! After seeing how it goes, try adjusting her display
properties while you are in control, you will see the results of your
experiments immediately and find the sweet spot.

What about Password? Is any needed?

Definitely -- her computer is wide open for outside control, especially with
all of the options checked in the Apple Remote Desktop access privileges
panel.

Thanks **so** much for this info. In all my searching around for a
solution, no one ever mentioned the on-board Apple Remote Desktop as
an
option.

No problem - happy to share, I love it. I've bought a tablet PC on eBay to
use for a VNC client to control both my cube and my desktop PC. I caught the
ARD 'cause it was mentioned oh so briefly when the update occurred and I may
have found more info on it through some research regarding chicken of the
vnc.

Mixed wireless network

[Brian Rule]

I currently have a limited wireless network- my Slot loading iMac is 
networked to an Airport Extreme Base Station via an ethernet cable and 
my iBook connects via airport extreme.  In the coming days I'd like to 
add my desktop PC to the list by giving it a wireless card.
What I'm wondering is, will the firewall on the base station still work 
with the PC added?  Will there be any incompatabilities adding this PC 
to the system?  In the end, there might be a second PC added to the 
network, but I'm not sure yet.  Any feedback or prior experience would 
be of great help.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi, and thanks for the info! I have not been able to find the OS9.x driver
online. Could you give me a url? Or is the file small enough to email?
Thanks much.

I like Entourage but agree that all eggs in one basket can be dangerous.
I have had a few dangerous moments with corrupted databases using
Entourage. I like speed and function with the art of simplicity.
Entourage really is bloatware, even though it has great tools. I want a
program that does just email, and does it well. I am currently using
Mailsmith and really love it. I guess you use what gets the job done for
you.
