format a Hitachi drive in a firewire case on a Pismo?
Hello, I have bought a new Hitachi drive for my Pismo (listed as compatible on OWC) and put it in an external Sarotech firewire case. However, it doesn't show up with Disk Utility in OSX10.3.9. Then I re-started from a 10.3.2 installer CD, twice by holding down the C key, and it is not seen with Disk Utility. I also re-started in OS9.22 and Drive SetUp did not see it to format it. Is there a trick to getting this drive to appear on the desktop to format it? Thanks. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Hello, I had a Pismo battery that showed four green lights when the button on the side was pushed. I let it sit for a few weeks without power and now only one battery light blinks green. Is the battery dead and can I revive it somehow? The blinking light means it is flat. Getting to 4 lights doesn't mean that the battery is A1, I have seen many that claim to fully charge but only last ten minutes under load. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard won't boot
Tim, What I grew to realize with my Lombard with the bad cache is that it's just much better and easier on the book to let it sleep overnight rather then shut down. While the reset was no real hassle, allowing it to sleep is easier on the power switch anyhow, bad cache or not.So like with any system, once in a while I would reboot, just to clear things out. And once a month, I began to use the fsck method as well as DiskWarrior, simply as a matter of preventative maintenance on both my desktop and book. I do the same sleep overnight and maintenance with my new TiBook now. I never found the bad L2 cache to be an issue for me except when maybe the short time I was running OS9 on it, then it would give the alert at startup, which took a simple click of the mouse, as well as the reset. It ran much better under Jaguar, then better under Panther, and even better under Tiger (which of course requires either XpostFacto or installing Tiger on the drive, while it is hooked up to another supported system). So Caleb, definitely Panther is better then Jaguar but both ran well. That said, since I now have a newer book, I have put my Lombard up for sale, and while it has been very dependable, I will be saying bye to it soon. Dave Also, I'm not sure if you are a victim of the Lombard issue with OS X that I am :)) but to get it to start I have to push the small reset button on the back of my Lombard before every start up.

Pismo hanging
I just bought some new memory (upgrading to 768 from 512 mg) and a combo drive for my G3 Pismo operating 9.2.2. My relatively computer saavy and I installed it ourselves using the laptop's owner's manual - and all seemed to go well. The combo came with a variety of drivers for pismos operating OS 9 and I copied the one that seemed right to my extension folder, restarted and and the drive played a DVD promptly. However, after that the computer would not wake up - the screen was black and made no noise - without using Shift/option/Command + start button. A little later, it was still not waking up but at least made some noise to indicate that it was running - holding down the power key alone worked that time to wake it up. So, we tried zapping the pram and rebuilding the desktop and that solved the wakeup problem. But the next problem seems insolvable and I am wondering if anyone would have any advice. When waking up it takes a few seconds to go from black to grey and then about 10 seconds for the open program to show up. When restarting, it flickers in the grey screen a bit and then starts to open fairly regularly (albeit seemingly more slowly than pre-upgrade), then it hangs on the desktop with the MacHD icon highlighted for about 10 seconds, frozen and then finally the Startup apps open. (In my case it is Claris Emailer, stickies and Mozilla.) I tried turning off the combo-drive extension (and restarting) but the results were the same so now I am wondering if it has something to do with the amount of memory ( 512 mgs)and 9.2.2. Thanks for the advice! Tannis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard won't boot.
Well, I've got my problem fixed, so thanks for all the advice. I'm going to order a new copy of Jaguar from OWC, or, if I can convince my DVD drive to read the Panther recovery DVD I have lying around, I'll install that. It took three tries to get my 9 CD to boot on my machine, so I think my early woes were caused by not holding down C long enough.

Of course, I only keep a little over a gig and a half on it, so it's not bad. It works, slowly, but it gets the job done. Yikes! If I had to sync my 30gb of content over USB 1.1, I think it'd take many, many hours. -Dylan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
