Re: is my iBook screwed
So the part that says: The program is available for certain iBook G3 models (see below for a complete list) with serial numbers in the following range: UV117XX to UV342XX Means what??? My understanding is that now, it means very little, except that maybe it'll exclude boards that have already been replaced. That range of serial numbers have gradually been increased as they have added earlier and earlier models to the list of those cover by the REP. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: is my iBook screwed
Goodness, it's quite clear. I saw the earlier post and checked my Serial Number by clicking on the Aqua Apple Menu/About This Mac. When the little box opens right under the Apple Logo and where it says Mac OS X beneath that it says 'Version 10.3.8' click on THAT then it will say build number, click again and it will give you your serial number. Mine is UV4466X (I didn't give the entire serial number), so obviously it is not in the range and the problem does not apply to mine. If you in the range below, then you are covered.what could be simpler?

Re: Should I consider buying a G4 Titanium.
I think you are right David. I think I may have just discovered one cause of hinge failure ;-( - possibly a major cause; getting cables caught when you close the book. My previously tight hinged Pismo now has 1/2 of play after catching a USB light cable. I have a list of don'ts with books (particularly Pismos) that I wrote some years ago. When I get Tiger lets see if Spotlight can find it and I will add the above, and post it. On 14/04/2005, at 8:15 PM, Al wrote: But I understand the Titanium had problems with hinges breaking. Does it happen a lot? That can put me off. What do you guys say? I've seen lots of broken hinges - I also know quite a few people who own TiBooks, have owned them for quite a few years, and have pristine hinges.

Hey, wait, their web site says now Mac OS® X v10.2.6 with AirPort® installer 3.0.4, or Mac OS® X v10.3 - but I thought that Airport requirement was for Broadcom - am I confused, or are they still putting out old information, or have they changed chipsets again? http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?

Re: belkin card
Anne, It may be old info but I pray it is not. As soon as I get off of this computer I will be heading to CompUSA and check it out. If it works on airport drivers then who needs a manual!!!

Hey, wait, their web site says now Mac OS® X v10.2.6 with AirPort® installer 3.0.4, or Mac OS® X v10.3 - but I thought that Airport requirement was for Broadcom - am I confused, or are they still putting out old information, or have they changed chipsets again? http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?

Re: European Powerbooks
All PowerBook adaptors, since the 100 (but probably also for the Portable) are rated for 100-240 Volts. So it is only a matter of the shape of the plug! I travel back and forth between Italy and California and most of my 'Books have actually been bought in the US! Ben from Italy Incidentally... here we have 240 volts. Here's a question for those folks that skip back and forth across the pond. What are the electrical supply differences for European Powerbooks? With current being different there, is the whole machine different, or it just the powersupply different? Can one plug a European powersupply into a US Powerbook and get it to work properly without damage? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Tiger on a clamshell
There was mention of someone having seen Tiger on a Pismo - has any one seen it running on a clamshell? We've got a 466. I also note that the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 in my G4 iBook isn't on the Core Image capable graphics card list on the Apple site. The same card is in the Mac Mini.

All I mean is, can I password protect the entire thing so that any person who decides to take it for a walk cannot access ay of the files on it, and can't format it as well? I don't know about preventing them from being able to format it, but what about making an encrypted disk image on the drive? Disk Utility will let you customize the size, so just play with it until you get one that is as big as will fit on the jump drive. Just a thought.

Re: European Powerbooks
My husband used to do a lot of international travel. He bought a collection of power and telephone adaptors (probably 25 pieces), from Targus, I think, that came in a zippered organizer about the size of a 5-Star (brand) zippered ring binder. The card inside listed in three columns: each country, its power adaptor, and its phone adaptor, all number-coded. None were any bigger than the box plug end of a blow dryer power cord. Before a trip, he'd look that country up on the little chart, pull out those adaptors, and tuck them into his laptop case. A few required one adaptor to plug into a second adaptor, but the chart made it simple. Claire Here's a question for those folks that skip back and forth across the pond. What are the electrical supply differences for European Powerbooks? With current being different there, is the whole machine different, or it just the powersupply different? Can one plug a European powersupply into a US Powerbook and get it to work properly without damage? It would be nice to simply get a different powersupply rather than have to carry around a heavy transformer. Peter -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: European Powerbooks
No transformer needed, just adapter plugs. You can get a world-wide adapter kit at apple.com - or just buy an adapter in whatever country you land, which is how I built up my collection. They're easy to find at any drug store or hardware store in any country, even at the airport.

Ignore the poster who said serial-to-usb adapter; that will not work with the 4/600 because the printer is not serial, it is localtalk. An ethernet/localtalk bridge is needed for localtalk printers. If you don't have an extra ethernet port, look for the Farallon EtherWave printer adapter since it includes a mini-hub. Apple's postscript level 2 lasers are compatible with OS X, including the 4/600, Pro 600, Personal 320, Select 360, Personal NTR, and IIf. The IIg and higher models already have ethernet and require at most an AAUI/RJ45 dongle if anything. I have a similiar situation of connecting my Laserwriter II NTX... An ethernet/localtalk bridge will put this printer on an ethernet network, but only for MacOS 9 and earlier (it is not postscript level 2). -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: European Powerbooks _ the last word
Sorry for the subject, but I have the feeling that I can give a worthwhile contribution. Before leaving your country go to an home appliance shop shop and buy the following TWO things: 1_female plug for the male plug of the adaptor power cord 2_an electric wire Put them together, so that you have at one end with the female plug and at the other end the free wires (usually 3: the ground, usually yellow and green, and the two phases) Once you get to the destination country just buy a local male plug al a local shop. You are done! No need to buy weird kits of doubtful quality! Ben No transformer needed, just adapter plugs. You can get a world-wide adapter kit at apple.com - or just buy an adapter in whatever country you land, which is how I built up my collection.
