Re: adding Classic to Pismo running Tiger?

Hello All

I've been loving Tiger on my 500 MHz Pismo but I want to figure out  
a SCSI connection before I sell off the trusty Lombard and the best  
solution I've found to date is a USB to SCSI adapter that only runs  
under OS9.

So I want to install Classic on the Pismo.
The Pismo has a 40 Gb hard drive with 19 Gb used.
Get Info identifies it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"
Can I just install OS9 or do I need to partition the disk first?
If I need to partition can I copy the Tiger installation to my  
external Firewire disk, partition the Pismo drive and copy the  
Tiger installation back?

Is there a better way?

Thanks

Andrew in Ann Arbor
technology is the answer, what was the question?



Andrew, you do not need to partition the disk. Just go ahead and  
install OS 9.

Hey Mad Dog,


I guess the big questions I still need to answer are: Will the  
Lombard handle all the way up to 10.4.3?   And, is it best to run  
the updates from the Lombard itself or while the drive is in a  
supported system?


Dave




The Lombard will run 10.4.3 and the updates can be done from the  
Lombard itself. That's how I did mine.

You can certainly use an 802.11g PCMCIA card in a Lombard. You just  
have to
make sure that the one you use is supported by third party driver. Do a
search on VersionTracker for "802.11g" and you should find a couple of
companies that sell a card with supporting drivers or just the drivers.

You don't need much force to put RAM in. Just follow the instructions.

done all you suggested before writing and the chip just does not boot

adding RAM

[Alan C . Magnus]

Hi All,
I've been trying to add RAM (Crucial, 512MB, 2700 DDR SODIMMM) to my Al 
PowerBook G4. This was bought from a store in FT. Lauderdale. When I 
tried to boot, no go. I replaced my original RAM and all was fine. As i 
had to leave the States, I had a friend do the return for me. He said 
the same RAM was put into another similar PowerBook and worked. Anyway, 
on my instructions, he had it replaced. I got the replacement today and 
had the same problem. The book will not boot with the new RAM. Either 
alone, or with one of the original 256 sticks.

Is there a trick, special method, to installing the RAM? I did try to 
use a bit of force but still no luck.

The antenna section is a bit thicker than the card itself and there 
might not be enough space to slide under the other card.

Let us know if it works in OS X without a driver. That would be a

I have been researching a card for my Lombard. Buffalo says their card 
will work without a driver and so does Macwireless. To be safe I have 
one of both on their way.

I have a Lombard 333 that I recently replaced with a 15" AlBook, but 
out of curiosity I decided to try Panther on it. The discs I got with 
the AlBook are DVD which ruled out a direct installation. Plus, I have 
read many accounts of installation failures with extra RAM installed on 
the Lombard and I have it maxed out at 512. So, what I did was this:

I took the HD out of the Lombard and put it in an external Firewire 
enclosure. I then plugged it into my Dual 1Gig G4. I then did an 
upgrade install of Panther to the harddrive which previously contained 
10.2.8. After reinstallation into the Lombard, it is up and running 
very well.
