Re: Airport range with Pismo (internal vs external)?

Hello all
I'lm about to switch my e-mail over to a G4 Cube ans I want to have 
a powerbook that will share the same mail files.
The concept is to store the mail files on a CF card in a USB reader 
attached to the Cube.
For portable use I'll plug the card into a powerbook and pick up 
wherever I left off.
Unfortunately I can't do this with my Lombard since the wireless 
card occupies the sole card slot so I'm considering trading up to a 
Pismo.
My question is,  how does the internal Airport card compare to a PC 
wireless card (like the Cisco I'm currently using).
I'm more interested in range (the cisco card won't work in a few 
rooms) than speed.
I guess the original airport card doesn't support more advanced 
encryption, not a problem here at home but possibly a consideration 
when travelling.


Why not use a USB card reader plugged into the Lombard (or a Pismo). 
Or simpler is to use a memory stick.

Does AL powerbook read DVD+R disks?

2005-09-07 Thread csean
Quick question. I have a G4/1.33 12 with Superdrive. Would it read  
DVD+R disks with movies burnt using DVD Recorder connected to TV?


I've checked the specs online and all it says is reads DVDs at up to  
8x. Only the recent PBs mention reads DVD+R.
I was thinking of getting a Philips DVD Recorder that burns to DVD+R  
and +RW only. Great deal, but only if it works!


Thanks.
Chris

I like my Macs, but you can also be snide about Apple's USB2 support;  
it is markedly slower than the Windows USB2 support.

But not much compares with Windows dedicated refusal to support USB  
1; USB was on mainboards for YEARS before you could actually do  
anything with it.  We called it Unuseable Serial Bus.

Re: Wallstreet, OS X and Wavelan Gold

I'm not sure if this helps, or if it works the same way in 10.2.8 (I 
have only Panther and Tiger), but won't hurt to try:


Open System Preferences-Network and then choose Network Port 
Configurations. See if either:
it appears there, but is unchecked (so, check it!), or it doesn't; in 
the latter case, try the New... button and see if you can add a new 
configuration using that port (which could be called Airport or 
some name related to the card or driver).

David, that where a lot of people had different opinions. Those that 
were heavily invested in SCSI  floppy disks were anti-iMac; those 
that weren't, like myself, embraced the future. Remember the phrase 
SCSI VooDoo? I never liked SCSI because it was so problematical. 
However, I do remember a slew of SCSI and serial adapters plus 
external floppy drives were released right after the iMac came out, 
as vendors rushed to capitalize on the anti-iMac market. I think 
there was even a SCSI Mezzanine card for the Rev A  Rev B iMacs.

I don't see having a need for floppy disks as being anti Mac, just being
practical using the least expensive way of transporting classroom projects
from  school to home for my students.

I have always used Mac's and would never think of going to a PC, but still
find the floppy to be far more practical than CD's or DVD's for classroom
use.

Since only 60% of my students have internet access at home, although 80%
have computers, the internet is not a viable alternative either.

Re: Does AL powerbook read DVD+R disks?

2005-09-07 Thread PeterH5322

Quick question. I have a G4/1.33 12 with Superdrive. Would it read  
DVD+R disks with movies burnt using DVD Recorder connected to TV?

Apple spec'd its drives before + media became popular, or perhaps even 
available.

After I replaced my OEM DVD-CD-ROM drive with a generic DVD-CD-ROM-R-R/W 
drive which included two-layer capability, I was surprised that none of 
the Apple products would support + media, so for a while I was stuck 
burning two disks: a + one for recorder/player playing, and a - one for 
laptop playing.

Then I discovered PatchBurn, and it not only added my generic device to 
the list of acceptable devices, but it added + capability as well.

I don't burn DVDs for data storage, yet.

I would not be surprised to find that - media is supported for booting; 
while + and - media is only supported after booting and appropriately 
modified system.

One of my two two-layer drives is a Pioneer DVR-K05. Apparently the -K05 
is directly supported by 10.4, but not by 10.3, and I am a 10.3.9 user.

PatchBurn is necessary to add -K05 support to 10.3.

The other of my two two-layer drives is a Panasonic UJ-845. This is 
supported by neither, apparently, and it is necessary to run Patchburn 
for both 10.3 and 10.4.

Since I have two unsupported drives, one for my Lombard and one for my 
Pismo, I have to run PatchBurn twice in each machine, in order to have 
both drives supported by both machines.

Once PatchBurn has been run, the tables it adds are persistent until the 
next time the system is installed. Or, until you add a different, 
unsupported drive.

I had to run PatchBurn on my BW G3 in order to add Pioneer DVR-109 
support for 10.3.

It is mainly the i apps and burning from the Finder which is affected; 
Roxio products seem able to handle the unsupported drives just fine.

Now, I am able to standardize on + media alone, as all my machines have 
been PatchBurned to accept drives which support + media, and the systems 
has been patched to accept those drives which accept + media.

I suspect some early Apple DVD-CD-ROM drives don't accept burnable DVDs, 
+ or -.

My Wallstreet drive appears to be that way.

Re: Does AL powerbook read DVD+R disks?

I was thinking of getting a Philips DVD Recorder that burns to DVD+R 
and +RW only. Great deal, but only if it works!


Thanks.
Chris


Chris,

I've sold lots of cdrw and some dvdrw drives over the last few years.  
If there is one brand I would suggest you stay away from, it is 
Phillips.  I have seen more failed Phillips drives then probably all 
others combined.  You can probably still go onto ebay and find bundles 
of 50 available for cheap.  Do yourself a favor and reconsider.  My 2ยข.

2005-09-07 Thread david
Dennis - I'm well aware of the phrase SCSI voodoo but there was no  
voodoo at all. Just people who didn't understand the SCSI chain. In  
all the years I worked as a consultant I only once came up against a  
genuine SCSI related problem that was solved when I isolated the the  
problem to an external drive which the manufacturer replaced. And, I  
can't remember a single SCSI related issue with any of the Novell  
servers I serviced. Further, manufacturers didn't race to provide  
SCSI solutions. Apple had already released revision B of the iMac  
before any adapters appeared. And finally, to suggest that people who  
were heavily invested in non-supported devices were anti-iMac is  
ludicrous. It was quite easy to appreciate the genius of the iMac  
design while thinking the lack of a SCSI port was short sighted.

Actually, I think that was one of the greatest bits of genius Steve  
Jobs has exhibited.


It forced a immediately wider acceptance of the USB standard*,  
ensured that most of the USB peripherals were mac-compatible, and in  
a large measure paved the way for Apple's current success. The iMac  
was a groundbreaking machine on many levels.


Had SCSI been left on it, there wouldn't have been any pressure to  
adopt USB, and the Mac (and Apple) would have continued stagnating.


*We had been getting PC's from Dell and Gateway with USB ports on  
them for a year or more before the release of the iMac, yet I had  
never seen a single USB peripheral before the advent of the iMac. Two  
months later they were everywhere.


As for me, I'm MORE than happy to see SCSI fading into that cloud of  
dust in my rear-view mirror...

Tom,

There's also cheap key chain flash drives to consider.  If 80% of your 
students have computers, and assuming these computers aren't older than 
SCSI, they most likely all have USB.  You can now get 128 MEG flash 
drives on eBay for under 20 bucks a pop.  Something to think about. . .

Let's face it, if any of us have been involved in computers in general 
for over 7 years, then we have encountered SCSI.  I never really had a 
problem with SCSI, other than the equipment was always expensive.  I've 
invested over $3,000.00 in SCSI equipment over the years.  I now use a 
Pismo as my main computer, which doesn't have SCSI.  I still use my 
SCSI scanner, printer, Jaz drive, Syquest drive and my SCSI external 
HDD.  How do I do it?  Simple. . . with SCSI to USB adapter.   :)

Lets see---$20 x 145 students = $2,900 compared to 200 floppies for $20. You

 Tom,
 
 There's also cheap key chain flash drives to consider.  If 80% of your
 students have computers, and assuming these computers aren't older than
 SCSI, they most likely all have USB.  You can now get 128 MEG flash
 drives on eBay for under 20 bucks a pop.  Something to think about. . .

Actually, under $20 was to be vague and wasn't the point.  The actual 
price these days on eBay is cheaper than floppies.  I just checked and 
saw a lot of 40 128 Meg flash drives going for $3.00.  So, check things

Not just public school students, tho a good chunk of those within the
Chicago Metro area here might be hardpressed to come up with $20:  I
work part-time at a local University.  You'd be surprised how many
people have computers (mac or peecee) that don't have a USB port--tho
they all have floppy drives.  We even put 3rd-party (USB) 3.5's on our
eMacs just to accomodate the students who bring in disks of whatever
flavor.  Plus, disks are harder to lose than a jumpdrive is.  :)

(Image the technological update:  I'm sorry Mrs. Smith, but my dog
swallowed my jumpdrive!  :) )

SCSI's true successors are USB2 and Firewire.


If firewire had existed when the first iMacs came out, putting that  
on the iMacs along with USB1 would have been brilliant.  I have no  
objection to newfangled ports, in spite of my investment in a modest  
amount of old-world peripherals.  As it was, having no high-speed and/ 
or bootable port was - and is - a giant pain.


(*I know, there were some lower-end SCSI scanners, as I had and  
*loved* one, but they were few.  I must state here that I never had  
any problems with SCSI, and the only reason I prefer firewire is the  
hot-plugging ability.)

Re: Does AL powerbook read DVD+R disks?

2005-09-07 Thread PeterH5322

 I was thinking of getting a Philips DVD Recorder that burns to DVD+R 
 and +RW only. Great deal, but only if it works!


I've sold lots of cdrw and some dvdrw drives over the last few years.  
If there is one brand I would suggest you stay away from, it is 
Phillips.  I have seen more failed Phillips drives then probably all 
others combined.  You can probably still go onto ebay and find bundles 
of 50 available for cheap.  Do yourself a favor and reconsider.  My 2cents.

Try and get a drive which is natively supported by OS X or OS 9, or 
whatever you use.

The Pioneer DVR-K05 is supported natively by 10.4, and is supported 
through PatchBurn by 10.3.

Both my Panasonic UJ-845 and my Pioneer DVR-K05 have been great drives.

And, in my desktops, I use Pioneer DVR-106, -107 and -109 drives.

The -109 supports dual-layer; the -106 and -107 do not (but these do 
support + media).

As I said before, many of my students don't have USB on their computers
since many of them are using cast off 9500 and 8500 Macs the school let go
for almost nothing. That said, a USB flash drive is worth nothing to a
student that doesn't have USB to plug it into.

It is interesting that you were under the impression that teachers only
teach one class of 32 per day, instead of the normal five to six classes
High School Teachers have in every school in the US. We all work a regular
work day like everyone else, and then we go home and work another two or
three hours getting ready for the next day.

Hello all
I'lm about to switch my e-mail over to a G4 Cube ans I want to have
a powerbook that will share the same mail files.
The concept is to store the mail files on a CF card in a USB reader

For portable use I'll plug the card into a powerbook and pick up
wherever I left off.



Call me crazy, but why not just use IMAP or uncheck the Remove copy
from server after retrieving a message option? Seems a lot easier
than buying another machine to use some sort of removable media.


I confess I haven't figured out IMAP yet, the files are then kept on a 
remote server.

I like the idea that my e-mail is on my hard drive.
I do keep copies on my ISPs server which is good for back up but if I 
go to a second computer I have to download and delete messages I've 
already read.
Having the mail files on removable media would eliminate downloading 
files twice and also offers an easy recovery is case one computer dies.
Just plug the card into the other computer and pick up where you left 
off.




Why not use a USB card reader plugged into the Lombard (or a Pismo).
Or simpler is to use a memory stick.


I'm trying to avoid projecting parts on the laptop.
I already worry about the cisco wireless card getting hit, a USB memory 
stick would be just as bad.
Incidentally my Sandisk 1Gb Cruzer mini USB memory stick has worked in 
my Lombard under OS 9 and 10. It's PC formatted but the files work 
fine.
With a Pismo I would use the internal wireless card with a compact 
flash card  for data.
Pismos are cool, I need to find a barebones model and swap all my 
Lombard peripherals over.

Using Mail.app you can set it to save a copy of mail you've read  
locally.


The main difference between IMAP and POP is that you primary mail  
store lives on the server.


If you make changes on one computer, the next time you connect with  
another computer it will synchronize with the server first. Deleted  
messages are gone already. All your systems are up-to-date  
automatically (when connected). All your systems have the same folder  
structure.


I like it, but then I routinely use three or four different computers  
to read my e-mail.


IMAP with cached local copies is very much like POP with mail left on  
the server, except all the synchronization hassles are handled  
automatically, which REALLY sounds like what you want to do.


The 'real' copy of the e-mail is always on the server, where it  
should be, IMO, where it's backed up and on good stable systems.


Now it's a hassle for accidentally deleted mails, because once gone  
they're generally really gone, but backups can handle that as well.

Also, in many jurisdictions there has been a backlash against fees

was also testing the S-video - RCA adapter that came with the Pismo. I 
was worried that we might get shorted - smoke etc but then (a) picture 
came through. Disconnect either cable  the picture would disappear!  
VGA has worked with another LCD projector and also a VGA monitor.


Two cable solution would not be workable (mainly due to quality) so I 
got an S-Video  S-Video cable - works very well, first time.

Prefs/Network and check the drop-down menu for Network Port
Configurations; IIRC, there should be a new ethernet port (en1 or  
en2)

in the list.  Select the new port and check that your TCP/IP and
AppleTalk settings are correct.

Thanks. Tried that. Even tried to install twice. Never got the  
optional
port. Installed the IOXperts driver and it worked with no problem.

have been nice to have a free driver, but...

Yep.  Been there, tried that.  Same results.

OK, folks, I think we discussed enough about replacing floppies with USB or
what percentage of the US population owns a computer.

Can we get back to PowerBook-iBook related subjects, please?

Thank you.

laser chicken: n. Kung Pao Chicken, a standard Chinese dish containing
chicken, peanuts, and hot red peppers in a spicy pepper-oil sauce. Many
hackers call it `laser chicken' for two reasons: It can zap you just like a
laser, and the sauce has a red color reminiscent of some laser beams. The
dish has also been called `gunpowder chicken'.
