Re: Burning mad, Firewire problem

[David Lesher]

I'm hoping that the combined knowledge of the list can end my 
firewire torture.
I should be able to connect my  PISMO 400 mhz 768 MB OS 10.3 in 
firewire target disk (FTD) mode to a Quicksilver 733 mhz 640 MB  OS 
10.3 but every time I try to access the FTD for backup purposes it freezes.


Try the other direction: put the Quicksilver into target mode...

Exactly.  That's what I was trying to get across by comparing my Ti to my
friends Pismo.  'Elegantly' is a much nicer way to put it. :)  The good thing
is Tom and Lisa now know there is a third option.  500MHz G4.

What are you running the display at?  800x600 millions or 1024x768 thousands.

Re: Burning mad, Firewire problem

[Nick Marshall]

Are you following the directions properly from Apple?  Are you wanting to
move files from the Pismo to the Qs?  The order should be QS on.  Shut down
PB.  Connect firewire cable.  Start the PB while holding down the 'T' key.
The PB should appear as a drive to the QS.  Then you could drag any files
from the PB to the QS.

Do you have a non US keylayout?  Any key modifiers?  Is the keyboard on the
Qs on a hub?  Are the Firewire ports on both machines good?  Is the cable
good?  I've only done this once and it worked for me, so I'm throwing out
ideas.

Unless the apps you are going to use have been optimized by Altivec, iTunes
for instance, go with the G3.  The extra 100Mhz will make more of a
difference in most operations.  Plus it runs cooler.

 

I have the wallstreet that has 2 megs vram. It now has L2 1 meg cache

Is there a preference I should trash to stop this pattern?

Is this some kind of firewire firmware compatability problem between 
the Quicksilver & Pismo?


I'm trying to backup, which is a good thing, but buying an external

Your almost right, I am using an old VCR for the tuner, however it runs

a switch on the front of the display and you can also see TV using it's
built in P in P. I have my old PowerBook hooked into the VGA and a
Mac Mini hooked into the DVI. The Dell screen looks as good as my
partners 20 inch Apple display, but it has more functions. The only 
thing
I hate about it is it says Dell on the front in Silver letters, so I 
took a Black

magic marker and made that black. I am in total agreement on your last
statement, I use a Apple bluetooth keyboard for my Mini, the PowerBooks
external keyboard has a usb wire, it's modern computing, it's called 
wired

H**L. I am all for wireless everything.

Re: Mac OS X.3.9 on Wallstreet 233MHz?

Hi again, Listers!

Thank you all for your opinions, tips, etc.
One thing that I found is that I still do not learn the names of

Panther=X.3
Jaguar=X.2

Jaguar ran slowly on the WSI with a 233 processor as the WS I/233 has  
no cache and a lower bus speed (66 mhz).  With an upgrade to 292 one  
gains 1 MB of L2 cache and bump in the bus speed to 83 mhz.  These  
gains allow the WS I to run Panther (X.3) competently.  It's not  
blazing fast, but for strolling along the 'superhighway', reading e- 
mail, and doing word processing this is acceptable to me.



It's all relative.


Yes, it is!

You get a purple tint on the screen in 10.3 in some cases.  This is

It depends on what your used to.  I can grab a finder window and toss it
around and the thing is redrawn instantly.  On the Pismo it's more like the
top half of the window goes and there are some scraggly lines that run down
and the bottom trails behind.  Screen redraws are slower in all apps.  I have
32MB ATI 7500 in my 667DVI and he has 8MB ATI Rage Mobile.

He doesn't have a problem with it, but when I use his machine, I notice it.

This is a "Your Milage May Vary" kind of thing.

Re: TiBook power adapter problem (update)

[Larry le Mac]

From: Bruce Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>



If it's only when it goes to sleep, it's a software issue;
possibly a  firmware one, if they released a firmware
update for the TiBook.


What a dork, I've been updating Pismos left, right and centre,
but it never crossed my mind. Doh!

There is a 4.1.8 update which should be for the 400MHz,
and as I bought the computer from a warehouse clearance
my money is on a non-updated TiBook.
---

Remotely it could be a power manager board issue.
Have you reset the Power Manager per Apple's KB article?


reset-nvram in Open Firmware ???

It could be a flaky PRAM battery. The machine's old enough
to have that problem.


Could be, and I even have one from a broken TiBook.  :o)

Re: Mac OS X.3.9 on Wallstreet 233MHz?

[macnifico]

Hi again, Listers!

Thank you all for your opinions, tips, etc.
One thing that I found is that I still do not learn the names of the 
versions, so I'm always wondering if Panther is X.3 or X.2.  :-)


James Sanderson wrote: " if you really like Panther more
than Jaguar.  This comp had issues with Jaguar; it ran more slowly,
wouldn't wake from sleep, and it had some serious video issues
(screen would turn blank, for example, or it would 'melt').  The
upgrade to Panther fixed all those issues, but ran slowly until I
upgraded the processor, not that it's blazing fast now, mind, but it
runs quite well for my needs."

I installed OS X when it came out, but didn't run well on my 
Wallstreet, then I installed OS X.2 on it and it was passable. I sold 
that PB, bought a Pismo and installed OS X.3 on it. What a difference! 
This was usable!
But, I sold my Pismo, too. I was going to buy one of the 600 MHz 
iBooks, but I spent the $$$ on more urgent things. Now I bought the WS 
II, and I'm wondering about the OS.
What I found out, is that what is fast for some is slow for others. I 
don't mind waiting 2 or 3 seconds for a web page to appear. My son 
considers that unacceptably slow. I find OS X.3.9 runs well on a 400

Nick wrote: "I would stick with 9 on that machine.  My buddy has a

That is what I was thinking about. You consider OS X on a 500 MHz Pismo 
"a bit pokey". I consider OS X.3 on a Pismo 400 MHz and on an iMac 400 
MHz very good.

Once again, thank you all for your input. I'm leaning to stay with OS 
9.2.2, until I get at least a 300 MHz CPU upgrade.

Try downloading iceTee from this link:


It will allow your friend to Command-Click any link from any application
and have it launch his browser and take him to that link.

IceCoffee does the same thing for X.

When I got the set-up, I went to MOTUs site and one of the tech articles said
to hang your FW HD off of the 896.  I do it that way cause that's what MOTU
said.  Whether it works the other way or not, I have not tried.  I keep my
cables short.  3 ft. for the 896 to Ti, and 1.5 [I think] for the 896 to
FWHD.  The other thing is my FWHD is not bus powered.  It has it's own power
cord.  No power flow issues that way.


>

Well it's more the driver.  If I leave the 896 on and unplug it , and
then plug it back in, the driver would not always reload automatically.
I would have to turn it off and then back on and the driver would load.
Nothing major.  This is what used to happen.  I stopped doing a while ago
though, so I'm not sure if it does it anymore.  I just turn it off and then
unplug it.


>

It's very stable.  No problems.  I get a message saying something like "The
FWHD was not unmounted cleanly" or something like that when I cut the 896
power first.  Happens occasionally when I'm in a hurry.  There is a pause in
the audio when I turn on the FWHD while playing tunes through the 896.
Probably a protocol issue.

The weirdest thing is when using the modem.  When I disconnect, sound stops
flowing through the 896 for a brief moment.  Must be an OS issue.  Never
crashed though.

I got my RAM from OWC.  Never had a problem.  When I read about the rare
occurance of someone getting a bad DIMM [they are not perfect]  from OWC,
they get it replaced fast.

That's pretty cool.  I wish had wireless.

If it's only when it goes to sleep, it's a software issue; possibly a  
firmware one, if they released a firmware update for the TiBook.  
Remotely it could be a power manager board issue. Have you reset the  
Power Manager per Apple's KB article?


It could be a flaky PRAM battery. The machine's old enough to have  
that problem.

If you did enough damage to 'bend and shatter' the HDD, undoubtedly

Even if it works, that will be a really unreliable system, I'll bet.

There is a 500MHz G4 available from Sonnet.  That way you would get a G4 and
500MHz at the same time.  Kinda pricey though.  $350 at OWC.

Re: Need tips for using PowerBook as desktop system

[Steve Fuller]

Hey, Brian ...
Are you saying you're using the tuner on a VCR to input TV signal  
into your PowerBook?  If so, what software are you using to view  
it?  ...
Yeah, I can see the wires getting out of hand here, too ... I do  
have wireless network, but wouldn't it be nice to have wireless  
everything :-)


If he has the same Dell 20" display that I have, the monitor has  
inputs for DVI, VGA, Svideo and component input (RCA). You hook  
everything up to the LCD and then switch between inputs, or you can  
do Picture in Picture with some. On mine I have my Windows PC hooked  
to DVI, my G4 Cube hooked to VGA, and a Tivo hooked to the Svideo. I  
can have any of those up full screen, or I can have either computer  
up full screen and the tivo displayed in a smaller window in one of  
the corners. It's quite handy. :)

Re: Need tips for using PowerBook as desktop system

I like the idea of leaving the long cord plugged in.  Are your hubs  
powered?  What brand are they? Any problems with them?  I've had a  
string of bad luck with


The firewire hub is powered. It's a Belkin 7 port. I've had no issues  
with it.


My USB hub is some cheap one I picked up at a local computer store.  
It's used for my mouse, keyboard, scanner, and photo printer. My USB  
ports are all USB 1.1 on my powerbook, so I didn't bother with a more  
expensive hub. No issues with it either. All of the devices are low  
power devices tho I'm pretty sure.


cheap USB hubs, so that's why I ask ... not sure which brands are  
likely to be most reliable.
What kind of stand are you using for your PowerBook? I may just  
build a small shelf to put mine on so it's at the same level as my  
CRT.


I have some wire stand that I had laying around the house. I've been  
looking at one of the Griffin iCurves, but I haven't seen one in  
person yet to decide if I really want one. You can kind of see if in  
the photo at http://www.sfuller.net/gallery/office/aaa (you can click  
the photo once to zoom in to full size). Note that I have moved the  
printer somewhere else in my office for the time being.


I also have a laser printer in my office, but it's attached to the

MOTU FW interface and PB [was: Need tips for using...]

> MOTU Fastlane USB MIDI interface connected to the second USB port.
> MOTU 896 Firewire interface connected to the Ti and a 120GB OWC Firewire
> drive connected to the 896.

Nick,

thanks for sharing that. I have a setup with some similarities running on a
TiBook 1 GHz and wasn't sure whether the FW drive would work properly if
connected  to the 896, I had conflicting info on this (I actually have a 828
MK2 but I assume it will be the same). 

You say the 896 is upset if hot-unplugged. I haven't noticed problems with
the 828. What does happen exactly?

Apart from that, is the system stable? Or do you experience occasional
problems?

My desktop setup is: FW to the MOTU 828 MK2 audio interface, USB to
unpowered cheap hub to which I connect the Apple Pro Mouse, Logic Pro 7
dongle, Emagic EMT8 USB MIDI interface, Beringher BC2000 Control Faders.
Planning to add a 20" Cinema display soon and the FW drive. Stable as a
rock, until I upgraded RAM, that is. Had to go back to the original stick...
But will need to upgrade nevertheless from 512 Mb.

I print via airport to a USB printer hooked to the Lombard (hard-Ethernet to
WL router -> cable modem) and I also run mini-jack audio out to the mixing
desk for casual listening without having to fire up the 828. So only 4
cables to the 'book, not too bad!

Re: Need tips for using PowerBook as desktop system

The DVI on the Dell is hooked up to a Mac
Mini, so I switch back and forth PowerBook VGA to Mini DVI,
even have a video recorder hooked in to the S plug, so I can
switch to the TV also or use P in P. All the wires are a nightmare
though. Love these PowerBooks.

Re: Need tips for using PowerBook as desktop system

[jeanbee]

I personally use a firewire
hub and a usb hub to minimize the cable clutter, and because I had
some minor issues with device chaining (I had an external DVD-RW
drive, Isight, and 3 external firewire hard drives, plus an ipod all
hooked up at once). It's worked out quite well for me. I have a small
stand that my powerbook goes on. I leave the long wall cable plugged
in, and attach / detach the AC brick from that as needed when I move
the powerbook around.

Thanks, Steve ...

What type of IC is it ?  BGA or quad flat ?  Quad flat can be fixed 
fairly easily, BGA is another thing.
