Hoax.

Always run a hoax check when something looks too sinister to be true.

Check here:

Next year maybe, when the government thinks it has a mandate and has

No, but 10.3 allows you to use TCP/IP over firewire. Turn on both the  
FW networking ports in the Network control pane, you can then use  
rendezvous or bonjour or aloha or Howdy or whatever Apple's calling  
it this week.

Re: Clean Powerbook exterior?

[Howard Katz]

Something else that helps keep the exterior of your 'book clean:  take
an old tshirt, and cut out the back from the rest of the shirt.  (or
smaller size, depending on the shirt, I suppose.  :) )  Wrap the PB in
the cloth when the machine's not in use--say in a carrying bag.  Keeps
it clean, the cloth can be used for dusting/polishing, and helps
protect from items scratching it, too.

Later..Howard

Re: recommendations for 3400?

[Sionnach Aisling]

You may not have a problem with the cage at all... 
I've heard arguments on both sides fo teh fence about
32bit PCMCIA cards working fine with no modification
and others saying the cage has to be replaced...

I know that I have a PB3400 (200Mhz, 10gb Hard Disk -
not sure on the RAM off the top of my head, but I know
I put quite a bit in there...)  - My intention was to
use it for word processing, browsing the internet and
other basic stuff...

For the most part, I love it.  The screen is very
bright and crisp on teh 3400.  It responds well and
quickly to all teh applications I have loaded...  But
browsing the internet was a let down.

I have run Netscape and IE (at least - I think I've
tried two or three others) and eventually decided on
Netscape.  It always ran the fastest... but thats not
saying much.  Page loading is miserably slow on that
machine and I can't for teh life of me figure out why.
 I think it's a limitation of the PB processor.  I got
the best speeds with Netscape, by my IBM based
notebook with the same specs will load pages about
200% faster. (Shared Cable Internet).  I had the same
problem with a PowerPC 7300 I have at home until I
dropped a G3 Sonnet Card in it...  Now web borwsing on
the 7300 flies...

I'm running OS 9 on the 3400 and have never had any
stability issues.

Re: SCSI options for Pismo?

[PeterH5322]

>Is there a plausible way to attach a SCSI device to a Pismo?

Adaptec made SCSI PCMCIA cards which may work.

Those made for specific vendors of external drives usually will not work.

But, the Adaptec generic solution, which is also available in an 
ultra-wide version, should work.

I get rid of this (very annoying, happens when watching movies) by  
opening energy saver and where it says "Put the display to sleep when  
the computer is inactive for:" change it to "never."  Have to do this  
for either power adapter or battery, whichever way I'm running it, &

I usually have "put display to sleep" set for 5 min battery, 15 min  
power adapter, but in either case the screen dims after just a couple  
minutes unless I turn off putting the screen to sleep.

This habit is not consistent.  It does it some days and not

I've had to deal with this kind of problem on my Pismo.

It could mean that the PowerBook has switched to battery power
due to a loose connection with the power cable, and that the
energy saver options for Battery indicate that the brightness of the
display should be lowered to save battery life.

System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Options
check "Show battery status in the menu bar"

When the display dims, look to see if the status indicates that
the PowerBook is being powered by the power adapter or by the battery.

If the indicator shows that the computer is running on battery power
even when plugged in, try a new AC adapter or try jiggling the connector
of the one that you are currently using to see if the PowerBook recognizes
it (and if the display becomes brighter again).

 --Brian Miller



This may be the problem but my 20" iMac G5, which I've had since May 
and which came with Tiger installed, has done this random dimming 
from the get-go. My hunch says it's a bug in Tiger.

Everytime it does it, I have been running on power adapter. I thought about
something like that but it doesn't seem to be the case for me.

I think this is a bug. I also have mine unchecked when I'm on the power
adapter and, from time to time, it will dim the screen, even though the
checkbox is unchecked. What I usually do is open Energy Saver preferences,
turn on the checkbox. Wait a few seconds, then turn it off. Usually, I'm
good for a few days...

dimming screen

[Peter Saint James]

The display on my 15-inch, Al Powerbook running Tiger  
sometimes dims when the computer is inactive for just a few minutes.   
I can get it brighten again by moving the mouse or hitting a key, but  
this is quite inconvenient and irritating.


This habit is not consistent.  It does it some days and not  
others.  There does not seem to be a pattern to when, except--and I'm  
not sure of this--it may be doing it when the computer has not been  
booted for several days.


The box in system preferences that refers to automatically  
reducing brightness is unchecked.  Is there anything else that  
controls this?  Does it indicate something else wrong?



TIA.

Peter

Re: Clean Powerbook exterior?

In the realm of "I know we just talked about it but now I can't  
find it"...


What do people use to clean/protect the exterior of a Powerbook?


I use a damp cloth and water on my 17".

Is there a plausible way to attach a SCSI device to a Pismo?

Thanks

Re: AFP

[John McGibney]

The Appletalk protocol in Sys 7 is not compatible with Tiger. You  
need System 9.1 or better for Appletalk to work.

Anyone knows what this means? Only thing that comes to mind is  
"Agence France Presse" and taunting at the ramparts.


OS 9.2.2 in PowerPCs don't have a problem on this network with the  
Pismo.


What would be the best forum/resource for figuring this out?
