Re: 802.11g on a lombard
Not necessarily, the Belkin card in the red/gray box should have the broadcom chipset and will work with airport drivers. However the Belkin card in the white/gray box was in my case, a Ralink Technologies chipset. If you go to their website you will find drivers, however airport drivers will not work. Been there tried that, Mike So, that means that the great deal I just got on E-bay for a new Belkin PCICMA card and router that is listed at the Belkin site as working with OS 10.2.6 and airport 3.0.4, will just be going back on E-bay?

Re: 802.11g on a lombard
Well I did a search on Google and found that the card I bought (model F5D7010*) *was produced in 3 versions. The first one uses the Broadcom chipset, version 2, and 3 use the Ralink chips.

Wall Street Refurb
My 17 year old son has an old series 1 (233ghz) Wall Street Powerbook that someone gave to him. I want to update it, so I've been reading the archives of this list to see whether it is feasible. I set a budget and was able to get the following parts +shipping for $238: Sonnet Crescendo G3/500 processor Fujitsu h-drive 40M 5400rpm (MHT2040AH) 256 Megs of low profile RAM (plus the original 64, for now) Belkin 802.11g Wireless Network card (matching our wireless router) Mac OS 10.2.8 My question is this; in which order should all of these parts be installed? Can you direct me to some sites on the internet for good instructions? Is there anything important I should know about this process before beginning? Thanks for your expertise!

Re: Wall Street Refurb
Wow, I have a similar situation, Wallstreet RIP, It began as a 12inch passive display 233 no cache bad PMU, so so battery. Replaced PMU, got it to boot reliably. Went to Ebay and optained 14 inch display assembly and installed. Went to Ebay and obtained blue chip g4 500 mhz replacement processor. Went to Ebay and optained a pair of low profile 256 PC 100 CL2 low profile SO Dimms and installed on blue chip processor card. Purchased 40 gig 2.5 in 9mm thick laptop hard drive, formatted first partition to less than 8 megs. Go to http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/ and find and install XPostFacto 3.0 and installed OSX 10.3.X, Set preferences in XPF to User Patched Rage Pro Drivers to get thousands of colors without artifacts. I went to Ebay and obtained USB II card, Firewire Card, and Lucent Gold 802.11B Card which under OS 9 shows up as airport card, and Under OSX I have subscribed to IOXperts for their driver for this card, which works well. I did this over the course of 2 years, but Other than having 2 sound cards fail, the beast works well. -Original Message- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sally Shumard Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2005 9:31 AM To: G-Books Subject: Wall Street Refurb My 17 year old son has an old series 1 (233ghz) Wall Street Powerbook that someone gave to him.

Re: Printing and Wireless Connectivity
The connect light on the router or EtherPrint don't care about protocols such as AppleTalk, they are just looking for a valid Ethernet connection. If the light isn't coming on you have a problem. Guessing that the router's switch is 10/100 there MAY be an issue with the EtherPrint and 10/100 auto-sensing. Some older 10BaseT hardware doesn't work well with 10/100 gear, the auto-sensing gets confused. Asante 10BaseT stuff in particular was prone to this. However, IIRC the EtherPrint-3 was iMac vintage equipment meant to link the old and the new. The iMacs had 10/100 so it should work. The solution to the auto-sensing problem is to stick a 10BaseT hub That is easy enough. I have an old hub sitting around that would do the job.

Lost Network connection ???
I have a simple setup OS X.3): ADS modem ! D-link router ! ! Mac 1 Mac 2 And they've been working fine until recently when one of the Macs has lost contact with the Internet. When I check the Network settings, the working Mac has IP 213.66.212.57 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 but the other one as a self assigned 169.254.244.32 and more pussling, the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 I have actually had exactly the same problem with a friend's iMacs and OS 9.2, but I put that down to a crap cable, though it was never verified. Here I have tried two different cables and restarted, and tried different ports on the router. It did work fine until it just suddenly gave up... ?!

Wallstreet Battery.
Can anyone tell me if new batteries are available from Apple for the Wallstreet PowerBook? Can anyone recomend a Apple service dealer in Virginia? I have had bad luck with third party batteries. The one I go in new this week does not charge. Does not charge in a VST charger or the PowerBook. Vendor does not answer phone calls, so I have contacted my Charge Card company. The APC one I got 6 months ago, does not charge in VST Charger or PowerBook. APC does not want to replace it under their one year warranty, as this would be the third one from them. The Apple brand I have does charge in both the VST Charger and PowerBook, but because of age, it only last about 50 minutes. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Wall Street Refurb
I'd recommend the following order, but others are equally good: 1. Install additional RAM 2. Boot machine and verify that everything works, and the RAM is detected 3. Install new hard drive 4. Reformat, then install OS and needed applications 5. Test wireless card 6. Verify that everything is working as expected 7. Begin processor card installation (you may need to run a program to save your machine's ROM before you install; refer to the instructions that came with the card) 8. Remove old processor card, and remove its RAM 9. Install all RAM on the new processor card 10. Install new processor card 11. Boot machine and verify that everything works It's important to only do a step or two at a time, and to test constantly -- that way, if something fails, you know roughly what it is.

Check out the new MSN Search! http://search.msn.com/ I'm not sure what is wrong, but in my experience, D-Link routers, when acting as DHCP servers, provide IPs in the range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 by default. I don't understand how your working Mac can get an IP address of 213.66.212.57. What I think is happening is that your D-Link, for some reason, isn't acting as a DHCP server and doesn't distribute IP addresses anymore. The one your working Mac has is probably provided by your Internet Service Provider DHCP server. When your Mac 2 tries to connect, the DHCP server of your ISP denies giving it an IP address, so it defaults to 169.254.244.32.

Something for battery buyers to keep in mind is that Lithium-Ion batteries have life-limits on *both* the total number of charge/discharge cycles (~200 is a frequent number quoted) *and* on the their shelf life. You just have a 2-3 year practical life on batteries and there's not much to do except replace them. Unfortunately **rechargeable batteries start their life-span immediately upon manufacture.** So, if Apple is not buying newly manufactured Wallstreet batteries (and one wonders whether the market is big enough for a 1998 laptop, to buy many newly manufactured batteries), whatever you buy off-the-shelf is going to be a partial-life battery. How much life remains, depends on how long ago it was manufactured. And FWIW even if you never run your PB on batteries, the Li Ions won't remain100% usable (i.e. number of hrs of useful charge) generally for more than 2 or 3 years. (Notice I didn't say they would die in 2-3 years, I said they would not allow you to run as long on battery power as they initially did.) There are exceptions, of course. The same things applies to 3rd-party batteries.

Re: strongest solvent you can use on a ALBook...
I'm convinced that those Mr. Clean sponges are the greatest thing since sliced bread -- if they clean a TiBook the way they did my iBook (that was the first and last white computer of any sort I'll buy -- too easy to get stains from my fingerprints, etc.) you'll be a happy camper.
