Re: carbon copy cloner, silverkeeper, etc.

[Claire Hart]

Go to Applications/Utilities and find Disk Utility. Launch it, and
select the disk you back up to.
Go to the tab Partition, and create two partitions. You can make
these equal size, or you can adjust the size according to preference.


Dan,

I effortlessly partitioned my previous external HD a few years ago into 
6 20GB partitions.  This time around, I can't seem to figure out how to 
do it.  With everything being so "plug & play", I wasn't even asked if 
I wanted to initialize this HD when I first connected it to my 
computer.  When I go to Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility, I 
can't find a tab or anything that says "partition".  I'm using Panther.


Has anyone used SilverKeeper?  It came with the LaCie external drive.  
How is it different than CCC?


Thanks,
Claire

Re: Pismo problems help needed ASAP!

[Geoffrey Loeffler]

Does your hard drive have a partition for OS9 ? or a firewire drive  
or the removable 10 Gig hard drives that goes into the expansion bays?
I had those problems about 10.2,.4 OS 9.2.2 ran perfect, even using  
Photoshop and a graphics intense game anything I could throw at it.


When trying to start OS X, all the stuff you mentioned are the same  
symptoms I had, so I called Apple 6 weeks later, free support off the  
10.2 purchase for one of the 3 Pismos and the first guy was not  
slurping his soda and sounded pretty on the know. He said that OS X  
requires the video chip on it's startup and 8 megs is just barely  
enough, he said I might have a weak video chip. Now as far as I know  
chips work or do not work. I was a bit skeptic I hate code. So he  
said for $350.00 that included shipping they would swap out a M.B.  
and you would get a new/used video chip. I went for it and OS X  
10.2.4 ran fine but I had to use OS9 for 2 months and found Os 9's  
lack of quirkiness a cool glass of ice tea. It just ran fine and  
until Panther came out I just used 9. So the weak video chip covered  
the whole M.B. and any possibilities.


I also would be of course skeptical of the upgrade first. I am typing  
on my Pismo right now, great books. I think the best Apple ever  
turned out. So far they can't get me to bite on a new one. I have a  
few iBooks 1.2 but I have lugged this pismo everywhere

Good luck
Geoff

Re: General Lombard Questions.

[Lisa & Tom P]

IIRC that is only with a G4 upgrade.

Mike


They can replace the L2 with A G3 or a G4, but it might be tied to 
purchasing the new CPU.  Its worth asking them if they will change 
out only the L2 cache.  if Daystar wont do it Wegener might.

Yes, thanks Bruce, I've got the PBfixit guide, which is excellent as you
say, but just different enough on this point to, ahem, another guide, 
to be a bit perplexing.

I'm sitting here _looking_ at the HD through the opening, and this damn
latch is all that's in the way. Grrr...

Powerbook G4 diassembly

the DVD drive slot, but can I find it?! I've tried a variety of
dentist's pick-shaped devices (not having an actual dentist's pick) with
no success. If I had a better idea of what the latch is like it would
probably help!

Has anyone been here?

 I would suppose it would run slower with a bad La Cache? Do you have

 for that, or is this not really relevant to speed?

Mine's got a 400 mhz so I'm not expecting super speeds, but it really 
doesn't seem to be running slow  either considering.  In the few months 
I've had it, the machine has frozen twice but I think that related to 
the machine getting too hot.  I've dealt with that issue however.


Again re the speed, doesn't OSX disable or do something different with

Re: General Lombard Questions.

[David Rodriguez]

Hi William,

Welcome to the club.  I have had a Lombard for the last few months with 
a bad L2 Cache.  I have been running 10.3.9 quite satisfactorily 
however.  The only ritual I must live by is to press the reset button 
before startup.  So far, I haven't forgot once.  If I did, then I would 
need to go through another ritual of booting to cd, and then selecting 
the OSX disk and restart, but circumvent the actual restart and Shut 
Down instead (because bad L2 Cache Lombards won't restart).  Then I 
press the reset and boot up.  But like I say, I haven't forgotten to 
press the reset so haven't had to do this minor hassle.


Other then that, it runs great in OSX with a bad cache.  I'm not really 
sure what (if any) problems would develop by running this way?  I never 
found out why OSX does not provide alert at startup of the bad cache 
(as opposed to OS9 which does).  I also can't zap pram because it won't 
restart, but I guess the reset button takes care of any issues.  
Luckily the reset doesn't reset the clock or then it would be 
unbearable.


Anyway, I have found the Lombard can be a very usable system if you can 
get used to following a simple procedure.

NEVER Restart!
ALWAYS reset before boot.

If you can remember these two simple rules, it works great.

I have OS9 installed but haven't used it at all.  As I recall, 
switching back & forth gets a little more complicated, once again the 
key seems to be, no restart!  Always cold boot when selecting a startup 
disk.


Until I find a deal on a faster processor, that's how I use my Lombard.

Here's a decent temp monitor I found for powerbooks which monitors the 
hard drive temp only on Lombards.  This is for OSX.  Not sure how 
accurate it is but it gives some indication of what is happening.   I'm 
guessing cpu temp is not possible for the Lombard but I'd like to hear 
otherwise if anybody knows.

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19994


Dave


The biggest annoyance I have noted is that the Lombard will not 
startup unless I first hit the reset on the back of the machine. 
Pressing the power button generates a bong, but nothing further 
happens.

the hard drive before.



yup.

An easy solution for the IP, since the data on the disk currently  
was just to test, would be to repartiton the backup drive into 2  
pieces.  format them each, and use one for each CPU backup.


Go to Applications/Utilities and find Disk Utility. Launch it, and  
select the disk you back up to.
Go to the tab Partition, and create two partitions. You can make  
these equal size, or you can adjust the size according to preference.  
(If one of the drives to be backed up is larger than one of the equal- 
size partitions, then adjust the partitions. You'll see that it's  
easy to do this in Disk Utility.)


You'll want to name each partition. Recommend you name them so they  
are easily distinguishable (Big, Little; or a more descriptive 80GB,  
40GB, or whatever is appropriate.)


CCC will be fine for that, assuming that space isn't an issue, and  
that you only want one current snapshot of each drive, no "history"  
as it were will be kept, each time you backup (put a mirror image  
really) you'll overwrite the old one.


Use CCC to back up each computer to one partition, and you'll now  
have a backup of each.



FWIW, I do this with a LaCie disk. I've partitioned it into three  
slices 80_LaCie, 40_LaCie and 25_LaCie. The first gets the backups of  
my main desktop machine, the second gets backups of my laptop, and I  
had enough space left over to make a "scratch disk" for keeping video  
and audio clips and files.

yup.

An easy solution for the IP, since the data on the disk currently was  
just to test, would be to repartiton the backup drive into 2 pieces.   
format them each, and use one for each CPU backup.


CCC will be fine for that, assuming that space isn't an issue, and  
that you only want one current snapshot of each drive, no "history"  
as it were will be kept, each time you backup (put a mirror image  
really) you'll overwrite the old one.

About Carbon Copy Cloner, this utility will replace or put all the content
of one hard drive onto another drive. So, it you first cloned the PowerBook
and then the iMac, then everything that was on the PowerBook with the same
name than what was on the iMac was replaced when Carbon Copy Cloner cloned
the iMac disk. That's maybe why you ended up with something strange. You
have to remember that Carbon Copy Cloner clones hard drives, it makes a
total duplicate of one hard drive onto another without checking what was on
the hard drive before.

How much free hard drive space do you have (this can affect virtual  
memory and cause slowdowns)


Have you changed your usage? Using a different program than in the  
past or maybe are you running more programs? This could affect memory  
usage and result in your using more virtual memory.


Have you checked to see if all 640MB of memory is being seen by the  
computer? Rarely but on occasion SIMMs come loose and no longer  
register. Unlike WIndows, the Mac will just silently adjust to the  
different memory allocation.

Re: Panther molasses troubleshooting

[G Henry Taylor]

How much extra weight are you carrying. My iBook (G3, 700, 640 ram) was 
running slow also, but I had only 2.x gb left on a 20 g HD. I got rid 
of a lot of stuff (deleting some, moving most to an external HD) and 
now it runs much crisper. That was an easy fix for me.

Re: General Lombard Questions.

[Francesco sciacca]

I can only comment on a couple of points, having no experience with the
remaining issues:

In over 6 years of heavy daily lombard use, I've never heard the fan coming
in, even when the computer got quite hot. Three possibilities there: 1) fan
very quiet 2) fan not working 3) didn't need fan yet. I suspected there was
a procedure to force the fan spin at startup to check its funcionality, but
nobody has confirmed that yet.

you are a very lucky man, and this is probably a relatively new battery. I
don't remember ever getting 2 full hours of battery running word and nothing
else, maybe at the very beginning...

One thing you might want to do if you have the time and inclination is bump
up the RAM and replace the HD with a 5400 rpm one. When I did this back some
years ago, it gave new life to an othervise struggling machine. Now it runs
OX 9.2.2 quite zippy and is usable overall with OS 10.3.9. (it is a 333 MHz)

cheers,
