The upgrade to your existing processor costs $289. Before spending $399 on the whole processor, though, plus RAM and HD and optical drive (1GB RAM + 40-80GB HD + Combo or Superdrive = $300-400), I'd consider a used Titanium, which you can find for considerably less than the upgraded Pismo would cost you. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Upgrade Hard Drive for Powerbook G4
Can I upgrade my Powerbook G4 500 Mhz to more than 30GB? The specs tells me that this Powerbook comes with 10GB, 20GB and special order with 30GB. Can I upgrade this to let say 40GB or 60GB?

CD-DVD Module problem
List members, In trying to eject a non playing CD I accidently blew out the tiny button on the front of the module- that goes in my Pismo model G-book . Now the delicate latch doesn't grab and the unit won't close. Has anybody ever run into this? Also, if I start unscrewing the front of the module to get a look will it lead to problems? Finally, is there someplace I could send it to have someone fix it? Thank goodness I had a back up unit but I just bought this module. Argh-h-h...

newbie Lombard questions...
Greetings from a long time LEM swaplister and new addition to G-books. I just acquired a Lombard for $200 and it's a base model. I'm running OS 9.2.2 on it now but will upgrade to OS 10.X after I get more RAM and a bigger HD. The unit was acquired specifically for running the digital projector at church with Powerpoint. I bought this model because it can do mirroring and extended video monitoring. Is there a control panel specific to this other than the usual Monitors panel? When I open it there's nothing suggesting either capability although I haven't had it hooked to the projector. Also since the OS install was from a generic installer is there an ATI driver installer that I need? Thanks in advance. Dean -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

But then, I've seen the exact same Pismo with only 128 meg RAM only selling for $190.00. I'd shop more if I were you. . . hope this helps, Thanks for the suggestion, I understand that Pismos aren't as fussy about RAM as Lombards and Wallstreets. I paid $390 for a Lombard in part because it had 512 Mb of RAm (and a larger HD and a CD burner and Panther) I can take my time as my daughter is happy with the Lombard for the moment. I'd just like to be able to back up my data from the Cube to the Pismo (in firewire mode) and then be able to use that same data with the same applications on the Pismo. I could always get a firewire card for the Lombard and mount the Cube as a firewire disk (haven't tried starting it in firewire disk mode but understand it will do it) but I wouldn't have the nice internal Airport card. I worry that the Cardbus wireless card is going to get hit and the card and the card slot will both get trashed. Perhaps not a serious problem, for the price of a Pismo I could afford the lower half of a Lombard and a new wireless card...

Re: processor upgrades for Pismo? Maybe Titanium instead?
P.S. Actually, Daystar will also sell the whole G4 processor. You get a G4/550 for $399, which is VERY expensive. The upgrade to your existing processor costs $289. Before spending $399 on the whole processor, though, plus RAM and HD and optical drive (1GB RAM + 40-80GB HD + Combo or Superdrive = $300-400), I'd consider a used Titanium, which you can find for considerably less than the upgraded Pismo would cost you. Certainly the TiBook would be an improvement but I'm concerned about reduced wireless range with the TiBook (also the AlBooks though I really can't afford them). Since the Lombard spends all it's time around the house with a wireless card and the reception is marginal on the third floor I'm reluctant to get anything that doesn't get reception at least as good as the Lombard. I suppose I could use a Cardbus wireless card with the TiBook and it would work just as well as in the Lombard. The other issue is that I have a bunch of expansion bay drives that will fit the Pismo but not anything later. I'll look into selling all the Lombard/Pismo extra expansion bay stuff and check TiBook prices. It might make sense at the end of the day.

Apple Printer drivers
Any suggestion as to where to run down OSX drivers for old Apple printers? Have managed to network an old Laserwriter plus and Personal Laserwriter NT, and while they work with the generic postscript printer driver, I was wondering if a more specific option exists. Maybe I'm just being compulsive after getting all of this to light up on the network through an pile of adapters, switches, airport hardware and OS 7.6.1 through OS X 10.4.3 -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Apple Printer drivers
You'd have a lot better luck if you installed the CUPS printing system, lots of drivers available. And if it's not there, you can get it from one of the linux sites. Practically every printer ever made is listed. To check to see if it's already installed, open your web browser and type localhost:631 and you should get a locally served website devoted to your printers. If it's not, you can add it from your OS X install disk. Tim On Nov 14, 2005, at 9:45 PM, Frank Cornew wrote: Any suggestion as to where to run down OSX drivers for old Apple printers?
