Re: slow startup on ibook G3 600mhz
Are you kidding? 10.1 is a DOG! Nobody runs 10.1 these days. It's time to spring for a new Tiger.

Today I acquired a Airport card for it. I installed it, and started up the ibook. All of a sudden, the startup process was s-l-o-w-e-r than I ever remember; the little cartwheel would spin for what seemed like ages... Finally, after about 10-15 minutes, all that appeared was (in the upper right hand corner) the time/date display, the battery level and a little wireless indicator; no desktop icons, no desktop background. Choosing any of the mentioned items had no reponse. All I could do was to press the start button to shut the machine down. Removed the Airport card, and the same thing occurred. long startup resulting in just the three icons in the upper right hand corner. What did I do wrong? I know the Airport card works, as I am using it right now in a clamshell. And the machine started up perfectly several times last week, after I installed 10.1.

recommendations for 3400?

I suggested that music downloading wouldn't make sense with such a small hard drive but that the other tasks should be possible.

Re: How to transfer from Lombard to G4 tower
On Oct 30, 2005, at 15:30, G-Books wrote: Can someone tell me how I can direct download stuff to my Lombard from my G4 tower? I have a SCSI card in the G4. TIA Dave With the proper cable you can connect the Lombard to the SCSI port on the tower and have the Lombard appear on the G4 desktop as an external hard drive. It's called SCSI disk mode and requires a specific cable. It works just like firewire disk mode on later powerbooks. The correct cable plugs into the HDI-30 (SCSI peculiar to Powerbooks) port on the powerbook and the SCSI card on the G4. Turn the Lombard on first, it should start up with a SCSI icon on the screen. Then start the G4, the Lombard should appear on the desktop as a hard drive. Drag and drop. I wish there was a USB target mode for my Lombard. I may need to get a Pismo.

Re: recommendations for 3400?
Yes 8.6 much more stable than 9.?? Because of the cage, you need to use an older PCMCIA card. Although the bus itself is 32 bit compliant, the cage is not. So some persuasion may be necessary for some cards. Most cards come with their own extensions.

Re: RAM swap from Lombard to Pismo
I'm contemplating trading up from a Lombard to a Pismo and would like to know if I could swap the RAM from my Lombard into a Pismo. Lombard to Pismo is OK as long as the SODIMM RAM is PC100 or better. Pismo to Lombard is often not OK as the same problems with the RAM controller in the Wallstreets are present in the Lombard. Wallstreet and Lombard are VERY selective about which 256 MB sticks they will accept, and most will only be read as half capacity (i.e., 128 MB). Especially true of the later, faster low profile 256 MB SODIMMs. Pismo will accept just about any generic SODIMM, even 512 MB sticks, up to a max of 1 GB. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
