If anyone is interested, Daystar just dropped the price for the 
Wallstreet G4/466 upgrade to $170:

I have one of these upgrades and am pleased with it.

Re: lombard DVD decoder

Does the DVD decoder on the lombard motherboard work under X ?

If you mean the built-in decoder on the 400 MHz models, absolutely. (I 
cannot comment on the 300 MHz models).

You may need to use PatchBurn if you have updated your media bay to 
include a CD/DVD-ROM-R-R/W drive.

With the super drives which are in the distributor inventory right now, 
mainly the Pioneer DVR-K05 and Panasonic UJ-845S, you will probably have 
to use PatchBurn in order to cover all variations of DVD media.

The built-in decoder works well.

DVD writing is reliable at 2X, usually reliably at 4X, and fails at 
greater than 4X, and that failure is on account of the poor grounding 
provided within the media bay itself. These same drives will not fail at 
any speed if installed as directed, using an 80-wire/40-pin cable.

So you can buy one of these mechanisms and swap it with the old one 
on the housing ?

Re: lombard DVD decoder

2005-10-15 Thread PeterH5322

on the housing ?

Absolutely.

Just make sure it is a 12.7mm model and that it has a universal 50 pin 
miniature connector, as all of them now do.

The Lombard/Pismo bezel will not fit any current drive, so there will be 
a cosmetic issue, and the slot loader is probably the best, cosmetically 
and operationally.

(The Pioneer DVR-K15, a variation of the previously mentioned DVR-K05, is 
tray loading. The bezel from the stock Panasonic/Matshita definitely will 
not fit the front of this drive :( ).

The DVR-K05/K15 is supported by 10.4 without PatchBurn; is supported by 
10.3 with PatchBurn.

The Panasonic UJ-845S requires PatchBurn in both cases).

I believe the true super drive is a DVR-K04. The DVR-K05 is an upgraded 
model which supports two-layer writing/rewriting.

The UJ-845S also supports two-layer writing/rewriting.

Obviously, I volunteered more informantion than you asked for.

My use of my Lombard and Pismos is authoring (writing) and verifying 
(reading) DVDs, almost equally.

Re: Need advice and help with wallstreet

2005-10-15 Thread Gary E Davis
Hey guys 

Thank you for the replies. This problem started after I dissembled the
unit to paint the case, after putting it back together apparently a
piece of the foil from the bottom case became curled under the sound
card shorting it sometimes. I found it this afternoon when I took it
apart again. This is what caused the unit to power off sometimes when it
was moved or the screen moved.

Gary

Re: Need advice and help with wallstreet

2005-10-15 Thread R. P. Bell
Well, that makes me feel really good, Gary.  Apparently, some educated guessing 
gave you the motivation to tear into the Wallstreet.  However, if you had 
mentioned that you had early disassembled the case, I would definitely have 
asked you about a misplaced part, shield or other obstruction.

Congratulations.

PS Aren't Macs wonderful; what other notebooks would you tear apart for case 
painting or for self-repair?
