Where it was used was predominantly in a few New England states. I belong to an old woodworking machine Yahoo group with a couple thousand members. These guys live to collect and restore old machinery. The older and bigger, the better! To most of them, a 12 jointer or 36 bandsaw is small stuff. Out of all those folks I'm only aware of two people who actually own any two-phase powered machinery. They have had to do some fancy electrical tricks to be able to run these old machines. Makes the three-phase converters that most of us have seem like child's play! If you really want to know more about two-phase, go to the OWWM Yahoo group list achives and do a search on two-phase power. This was a topic of discussion on the email list just a few months ago.

Portable Style Writer OK?
Here's a question like a blast from the past: I just found a Portable Stylewriter in a thriftstore--remarkably compact and useful--would love to use it with my Lombard.

The same company did the POwerPrint series of adapters and a great software to connect to the mac most of the PC printers. You will need the adapter and a specific software. I can provide you for free with the original software that shipped with the Portable SW, it is now obsolete. Consider that to use it with 7.5 or 8 you probably need the PowerPrint software and indicate the printer as a canon BJ10e or so.

PowerBook G4 power supply issues
Hi all, I have a problem with my recently purchased 15'' Powerbook G4, and I'd appreciate any input you may be able to offer. I've already had one support call logged with Apple, but my reasoning behind posting here first before I call them again is so that I can gather all available information that may be relevant. I'm somewhat new to Macs, having come from a Unix background (primarily Solaris). To cut a long story short, I've been having trouble with the power supply that came with the powerbook. The first one I had blew up with an audible pop noise, and the laptop went completely dead - black screen, no power, nothing - despite having a fully charged battery available. After disconnecting the PSU, I turned the laptop back on, and it seemed OK. I sent the psu back to Apple, and got a replacement; now it seems that this one is playing up. At intervals, the power supply turns itself off. The green/amber light at the tip of the plug goes out, and the laptop switches to battery power. Unplugging the power supply, waiting 30 seconds and then plugging it back in seems to solve the problem. However, a few nights ago the light went out, and the laptop suddenly shut itself down again. I have discovered (through digging through /private/var/log/system.log) that on both occasions when the laptop shut itself down, on restart the date was set to Jan 01, 1908 and there was an error message complaining the the PMU has been reset. It may be a coincidence, but both times the laptop switched off, there was an iPod plugged in at the time. I have since tried manually resetting the PMU myself, but I was wondering if there were any additional diagnostics I could run that may further narrow the problem down, or other logs I could examine. Is it likely to be just a PSU issue, or is it likely to be the case that there is a problem with the laptop itself ? I have read many pages on the 'web describing problems with Apple's power units, but have so far not come across anyone experiencing the sudden shutdown issue that I've had. Any pointers or information much appreciated! Thanks in advance, -Mark -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: few newbie questions

Re: few newbie questions
Bruce Johnson said: 3) I take it the choice was either a CD-RW drive or a DVD-CD Rom, which is what I got. Is the swap easy? Is there a third party option to have both? Replacing the drive on these is reasonably easy, see pbfixit.com for both instructions and parts/prices. Personally, I feel updating a Ti-400 isn't worth $2-300-. For Ebayers it should be noted that one have to replace the cables too in the Mercury that came without a burn capability. I assume those come with the untis PBfixit sells. Thanks for this. I'm thinking a 2.0 USB PC card with 2 ports, one to an external CD burner and the other to the printer -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

ORiNOCO-Gold on Lombard/9.1
Looking at the ebay selections, are all ORiNOCO-Gold created equal and compatible with my Lombard running OS 9.1 on a LYNKSYS wireless-G router. If not which one is.

Re: NVRAM reset and dead motherboard
Daniel Colwell said: So... Could running these instructions fry a motherboard? I don't know exactly what type of Powerbook his daughter has. I could find out if needed. I don't think so, but sometimes a machine under this treatment can seem dead for a couple of days, for reasons unknown to me. I think the Apple shop *possibly* fooled him into thinking the problem was more serious that it really was. Powerbooks may sometimes appear dead, when the backup battery have been depleted as that, in some models at least, seem to be connected to PMU control or closeby services. A couple of friends had Apple South Africa tell them 2 machines ( a pismo and a PB G4) had problems needing expensive replacements, both which I fixed for fraction of that cost. And most repair shops *don't* make very deep investigations for cost reasons (they charge a hefty hourly bill). -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Should I Consider Buying G4 Titanium
Bruce Johnson said: The main issue with TiBooks is the poor Airport range. Which is solved by a PCMCIA airport card. I have the Orinoco Gold. A non problem as far as I'm concerned. Also, the early PB G4s have about 12% more pixels compared to the Pismo and from the 667DVI and on, there is about 28% more pixels. Personally I felt liberated abandoning the 1024 x 768 prison.

Re: Limewire
The relevance is that I am trying to figure out if one day I'll get in legal trouble just for having it on my hard drive, give the implications of a program like this. If you look at the description of limewire from a computer novice point of view, it looks as though it is around for nothing else but to pirate software. I'm not saying that it is for that, so please don't quote me as saying otherwise. I just wanted to know what anyone had to say about it.

Re: Limewire
I've used it for a couple of years, and never even considered it as a mechanism to download software. It's great for things such as finding images, such as those of the recent tsunamis and resultant devastation. There's lots of informative stuff out there folks have posted to share with others.
