Re: No devices found ...

[Andrew Johnson]

Wouldn't the processor have to be running for the HW test CD to run at all? As well as 
at least a portion of VRAM be functional for video to be displayed? Is this HW Test CD 
for the specific model PowerBook in question?

Re: UCE from list

[Andrew Johnson]

I second that motion, while I dont have a problem with spam really, the 
practice of our addresses being posted at large to the internet would 
seem to be a veritable smorgasbord for spammers. I too, respectfully 
ask that those in charge of the list archives look into scrubbing our 
addresses from the archives.

Thanks,
Andrew

I doubt spammers are subscribed to the list.  I doubt listusers are 
selling email addresses.  I have LITTLE doubt that the web archive 
maintained at http://mail.maclaunch.com/lists/  is being scanned and 
addresses harvested.  Our email addresses are being revealed there to 
the whole world, with every post we make.

I respectfully suggest to the listmom that whenever a new mailing list 
mechanism is finally established for the LEM-related lists, that he 
find a way to either restrict access to the list archive to those 
subscribed, or that the archived posts be scrubbed of email addresses. 
 Then I'll re-subscribe with a new email address and kill off this 
one.

Wallstreet as Media center

[Andrew Johnson]

So I have a (by all accounts) ancient Wallstreet 250MHz laptop that I 
want to use as a hook-up for getting my iTunes into my home stereo. My 
question is can I use an S-Video to Composite adapter (such as the one 
that was supplied with my TiBook) to output the video to a television 
(the built-in 13.3" screen finally bucked the kicket)

(as an aside, does anyone know a place where I can get a replacement 
video cable for the 13.3" LCD that isn't $70-140, most places charge 
exorbitantly high prices for these simple ribbon cables)

Thanks,
Andrew

OT: Need Airport Card

[Andrew Johnson]

I know I should post this to the swap list, but efforts to join and 
post to that list have been constant frustration.

So, I need an original Airport card for use in an iBook 900MHz. I'd 
like to spend ~$50 all said and done. If anyone has a spare one they 
wouldn't mind parting with, or know a source for purchasing them 
cheaply online, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks,
Andrew

Re: PRAM batteries...

The local Batteries Plus doesn't carry VL2330s, so I have to special

Re: Yo-yo PSU

[Andrew Johnson]

Speaking as an electrical engineer, voltages of any magnitude can be 
dangerous if mishandled. If the cabling/housing of the yo-yo was 
blackened by the fault, it could have just as easily ignited. While 24v 
isn't likely to injure you (unlike, say, 270v 3-phase AC) it can make 
things happen that can.

If anyone would like to test this theory, just go out to your car and 
short your battery (only 12v!) with a large metal object, the resulting 
fire should serve as proof enough.

Re: Wallstreet wireless

[Andrew Johnson]

I've been pretty satisfied with my Linksys 4-port 10/100 
switch/wireless router. The only thing that hasn't worked well has been 
WEP.

as for which card is best for a wallstreet... if you're under OS9, the 
Orinoco cards (gold or silver) are the best you can find since they 
operate seamlessly with the Apple Airport software. Under OSX... well 
it's a little more dicey. I use a Netgear 401RA card (maybe it's 
NA401RA) it's not a bad card in and of itself. The real problem is in 
the fact that one must use the open source wireless driver from 
wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net or purchase the driver made by IOXperts 
($20)

I have heard rumblings of there being certain 802.11g cards that are 
officially supported by the Airport Extreme 3.1 software, but I believe 
that it may only be PCI cards for powermacs...

Re: Wallstreet screen darkness

[Andrew Johnson]

This is often a sign of a dead or "previously dead" PRAM battery. 
Booting into OS9 will correct the problem within the PRAM and allow the 
computer to continue to function normally when in OS X.

However if the symptoms return when the computer is disconnected from 
AC power and the main battery is removed for only a short time, then 
your PRAM battery is dead. Leaving the computer hooked to AC will 
recharge the battery in a day's time or so usually, but it is possible 
that the battery is wholly dead and will need to be replaced.

The grey screen with tbe big Apple logo looks fine, but after that it

nuisance and it does not work when waking from sleep (we have to

I remember seeing mention of something like this in some newer models 
(Lombards or Pismos, maybe) and the solution seemed to involve booting 
into open firmware, which, afaik, is not present in the wallstreet

I wonder if there is some preference file gone awry that I should 
trash or some other solution (perhaps involving booting into OS 9) 
that the knowledgeable people on this list may care to suggest.

Wallstreet Woes

[Andrew Johnson]

On my Wallstreet 250, when I sometimes lift the unit using one hand on 
the corner near the battery bay, the unit will sometimes lose power, I 
imagine it has something to do with the contact between the battery and 
the connector being lost, but has anyone seen a problem like this 
before? any solutions?

TiBook 667 eats CDs

[Andrew Johnson]

Hi everyone! I'm back from my trip to Germany and the ol' TiBook DVI 
performed famously except for 2 eensy weensy problems I had while on my 
trip:

1) I borrowed a colleague's PC Card Compact Flash adapter just to test 
out how it compared to using my Canon Powershot s200's USB cable. 
Everything was fine until I unmounted the volume and then ejected the 
card (I didnt stop the card though) upon removing the card, Finder 
restarted, no sweat though. But the second time I used it, I unmounted 
the volume and then stopped the card. Upon stopping the card, 10.2.7 
kernel panicked. (much to the amusement of my anti-mac friend who 
swiftly took a snapshot for the memories)

2) when burning a CD-RW, the burn failed and the system would then not 
eject the disc, I ended up having to restart the computer with the 
trackpad button depressed to retrieve the disc. This is not the first 
time my system has eaten a piece of writable media without wanting to 
give it up.

Has anyone had these problems before or come up with a solution?

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
Andrew

Re: MacWireless announces Airport buy-back program

[Andrew Johnson]

I personally wish a company would create an 'airport-slot compatible' 
card, whether it be 802.11g and/or a higher power card (100-200mW) but 
no one seems to want to make a card that only owners from the Pismo up 
through the TiBooks (plus iBooks) can use... oh well... I guess I'm 
satisfied with 802.11b and less than optimal range until I buy my next 
PowerBook someday in the future.

-Andrew

$79 to buy the original AirPort card plus $90 to buy the MacWireless 
card less the $30 rebate comes out to $139. I don't see how that 
"reduces the overall cost of a wireless network connection". Plus then 
you give up your PC Card slot.

Only being a Mac user since last august, my experience with OS9 is

That being said, check your ram, I would only install what came with

I'm sure you've heard this already, but for completeness' sake: have

On my wallstreet, (Powerbook G3 Series) the brightness controls would 
behave strangely if some settings had not been saved in PRAM by OS9. 
When the PRAM battery was dead, this would result in odd behavior 
whenever the computer lost battery power (since there was no PRAM 
backup) the solution was installing a new PRAM battery, entering OS9 to 
save the displays control panel settings and then restarting into OS X.

Could it be that the AlBook's broken keys are related to people 
thinking that they're like the TiBooks (and iBooks) and are trying to 
forcibly remove the keyboards?

OT: G3 PowerBook names [was Re: DVD-ROM for CD equiped Lombard?]

I would say the the code names make things easier usually, when someone 
says wallstreet, I know what they're talking about. But if someone said 
"I've got a PowerBook G3 that has problem X..." They could be talking 
about the WallStreet (PowerBook G3 Series, multiple bus speeds, 233,250 
and 300 mhz variants I believe) the WallStreet II (PowerBook G3 Series, 
66MHz bus speed) or the Lombard, (PowerBook G3) which had the bronze 
keyboard and faster features (not to mention USB as well) I think the 
code names are the saving grace of Macintosh products. How difficult 
would it be if every computer was named "PowerMac" and had no defining 
features?

Just my $0.02

while I realize that the older G3's needed the PC Card to properly 
decode DVDs, is the ability to view DVDs on newer systems such as the 
iBook (dual usb) a function of the fact that their video chips (Radeon, 
etc...) are supported for video acceleration in OS X, or is it that the 
G3 processor is faster so that it is all done in software? If I were to 
drop a 500MHz G3 in my wallstreet, would it be possible to view DVDs 
under OS X?

the -2 RAM is CAS-2, while the -3 is (surprise!) CAS-3, the CAS latency

As for why you're having problems, I'm looking into my crystal ball and 
seeing you sticking the 2 256MB SO-DIMMs in and recoiling in horror as 
ASP only shows 256MB total instead of the 512MB you expected. If this 
is the case, it is my experience (with a WallStreet 250) that they 
don't like PC133 ram, and that PC100 works perfectly for some strange 
reason, despite the fact that PC133 is supposed to be fully compatible 
with PC100/66... if this isnt the case, well I don't know then.

 From what I understand, the wallstreet is an 'old world' machine, 
meaning that the boot rom is just that, rom. "New World" machines (like 
my TiBook) actually store the contents of the boot rom on disk (correct 
me if I am wrong.) Since this is an old world machine, the os 9 loader 
begins and loads the software that boots os x. On my Wallstreet, this 
sequence of Happy Mac -> Apple Logo only happens after a PRAM reset, if 
this is happening to you every time you shut down, your PRAM battery 
may have gone south.

The Wallstreet is most definitely supported as an OS X machine, the 
Kanga is the only G3 based computer that isn't supported (and therefore 
will not install at all w/o assistance) AFAIK. I run 10.2.4 on my 
Wallstreet 250 and it runs like a top, installed directly from the 10.2 
disc that came with my TiBook, havent had any major problems with it 
since (although it isnt quite as stable as the TiBook)

 From what I've seen, the TiBook might actually have the easiest hard 
drive to remove/install. Since all you have to do is remove the bottom 
panel (only a few T8s) and then lift out the drive, it seems rather 
simple compared to the iBook or the Wallstreet where you have to 
perform major surgery to even get to the drive.

I don't know how similar the Lombard is to the WallStreet internally, 
but with the display problems I've had with my 13.3" Wallstreet (a 
notorious model for display issues) I've taken it apart a few times... 
So basically if you are able and brave enough to crack open the laptop, 
this is what might help (note that my experience is with the Wallstreet:

Take off Keyboard
Take off clutch cover (black plastic panel which holds 
power/volume/brightness keys
you should see two copper-colored ribbon cables on opposite side of the 
logic board that go to the screen.
you might want to check and see if they are securely connected.

If this doesnt fix it, the problem is either in the ribbon cables 
themselves (likely where they coil around the clutches) or where the 
cable connect to the actual LCD panel in the display.

hope this helps

Re: Can you run Jaguar on un-upgraded Wallstreet?

[Andrew Johnson]

Yeah It's nothing snappy, but I run 10.2.4 on a 250Mhz Wallstreet (with 
the oh so wonderful 13.3" screen) and it's usable, but not ultra-fast. 
Upping the memory to 384mb helped a bit, as I imagine swapping the HD 
will as well.

Having just read over the Service Manual entry for the TiBook (GE)'s 
DVD-ROM, it looks like the optical drive in the TiBook is a very 
fragile creature. I would only attempt this surgery if you both a) have 
experience inside the TiBook (my experience ends at tearing down a 
13.3" Wallstreet) and b) have the illustrated tear-down guide so you 
know exactly what to do in what order.

I personally hope I never have to take my baby (a TiBook 667 DVI) apart.

Re: Question on Graphics ChipSets (Was: Considering CPU upgrades...)

[Andrew Johnson]

Take this information with a grain of salt, but in my experience, all

laptop (happily traded for my PowerBook now) and it had a RageM1 chip 
for its graphics. As you've seen your Pismo has an M3, while my TiBook 
667 (DVI) has a Radeon Mobility 7500, aka RageM7 according to my system 
profiler. Anyone with a SuperDrive TiBook care to toss in which RageMx 
you have in your 'book?

I don't think that's a very safe statement given the 2 month 
turn-around between the 1GHz PowerBook 15" and the new AlBooks. The 
general feeling I get is that Apple wants this to be a very big year, 
and that might mean that all the old rules (6month wait times, etc...) 
don't necessarily apply.

If you completely discharge your Li-Ion battery, (just for the sake of 
discharging only to then re-charge) you will shorten the life of your 
battery in comparison to recharging it when you need it. Only Nickel 
based battery chemistries suffer from the memory effect which is 
prevented by the discharge-recharge cycle you described.

(you can reference my previous post to the list (Re: Related Question 
(was Re:...) for more information regarding Lithium battery charge 
cycles and their effect on battery longevity.

Re: Related Question (was Re: Reviving Pismo Battery?)

[Andrew Johnson]

Taken from http://www.motorola.com/ies/ESG/testlab/article1.htm:

"Depth of discharge (DOD) is defined as the level to which battery 
voltage is taken during discharge. For instance, 100 percent DOD means 
that the battery voltage has been taken down to the lowest level 
recommended by suppliers. Twenty percent DOD means that 20 percent of 
the battery capacity has been removed. This level of DOD is often 
referred to as a shallow discharge. Discharging to less than the 
recommended voltage is known as overdischarge. The shallower the 
discharge, the more cycles the battery will provide. This is true for 
all battery chemistries.

The relationship between DOD and cycle life is logarithmic. In other 
words, the number of cycles yielded by a battery goes up exponentially 
the lower the DOD. Research studies have shown that the typical 
cellular phone user depletes their battery about 25 to 30 percent 
before recharging. Testing has shown that at this low level of DOD a 
lithium-ion battery can expect between 5 and 6 times the cycle numbers 
of a battery discharged to the one hundred percent DOD level 
continuously."

In summary, using your Li-Ion battery for 5 minutes while moving 
between outlets isn't going to adversely affect battery life.

Re: TiBook Stand

[Andrew Johnson]

My iCurve Review:

Arrived quickly after shipping (was initially out of stock for a week.)
The packaging was attractive, reminded me of when I first got my TiBook.

My TiBook is now being held at an excellent height, and looks 
absolutely gorgeous. This stand really belongs in the Apple store (I 
was shocked when I learned they didn't carry it)
It is held much higher than either of the Roadtools products (the 
coolpad and the smaller, non-stackable one) and has cleared a 
considerable amount of room from my desk (also makes me less nervous 
about things rubbing up against the case and marring it) There is 
plenty of space under the unit to hold a small firewire drive such as 
the firefly or firelight.

The book seems securely held by the four rubber pads on the top surface 
of the iCurve, however due to extremely slight warpage in my iCurve, 
there is one pad that doesn't make 100% contact with the bottom of the 
TiBook, even with this subobtimal connection, the computer hasn't 
budged a millimeter over the past 3 days.

All in all, a great buy, I couldn't be happier. (Esp. since I got it on 
special for $35 plus free shipping!)

I believe there is a site somewhere that illustrates a complete 
teardown of a wallstreet, it is considerably more difficult to reach 
than the ram or processor card. It is located directly under the wrist 
rest of the keyboard (in fact it is attached to the bottom side of the 
top half of the case)

This makes it so you have to completely remove the wrist rest to 
install a new battery (actually put a used one in mine, but it was $10 
vs. $50/60) to do this I believe you have to completely remove the 
display as well, although I'm not 100% sure on that one.

Re: Subject: Wallstreet power problem

[Andrew Johnson]

Getting to the heatsink on a Wallstreet isnt difficult, but it is more 
work than would be on a TiBook.

1) Remove Both bay devices
2) Release the keyboard latches located in the bays (one in each)
3) Flip the keyboard over onto the trackpad to reveal the 'guts' of the 
wallstreet
4) remove a philips head screw located in the middle of a metal panel 
(there may be a second screw holding this panel in

The wallstreet's HS was originally attached by a thermal pad (think 
styrofoam) if this pad has disintegrated and is no longer attached to 
the processor,  you will probably want to find an alternative method of 
attaching the sink.

Also, you said you reset the PRAM, i had strange problems with my 
wallstreet when the PRAM battery died. It would only boot on AC power 
the first time and then you could shut it off and restart on battery if 
you desired, but if you lost battery power at all (ie, if the battery 
went to 0% or was removed) you would have to reattach to AC to restart 
it.

The reason I mention this is because when first started on AC power, 
the fan would activate and go through a more lengthy startup procedure 
than normal. The fix for this was buying a new PRAM battery.

In summary I would check:
1) The heatsink
2) The PRAM battery
3) CPU card contact

Sorry for  being so lengthy

Making any change (you can then change it back) and then click OK (or

PRAM, you can then reboot into OS X and everything should be hunky dory.

TiBook Stand

[Andrew Johnson]

Can anyone recommend a good laptop stand for my TiBook, I simply want 
something that will lift the top of the screen up to about 16-17" high. 
I'm really leaning towards the Griffin iCurve, but wanted to see if 
anyone had any opinions/revelations about the quality of the iCurve.

Thanks,
Andrew

Re: 12" PB vs iBook

[Andrew Johnson]

I personally am a little disappointed in the 12" (while I lust 
constantly over the 17")

The more I look at it, the more I think apple could have done better on 
the 12",  I can understand the lack of the pc card slot, but no lit 
keyboard? no firewire 800? and the big ones: no L3, no 1GB memory?

This 'book has to have been based off the iBook more than in just terms 
of casing, I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that there was a very limited 
amount of dev time devoted to the 12", more of just a "here, make this 
iBook look like a PB"

Aside from my gripes, I still think it's a pretty neat looking 'book, 
just doesn't have what I need. (whereas my still beautiful TiBook 667 
DVI does)

maybe someday I'll spring for a superdrive...

The anecdotal reports I've read indicate that the superdrive works just 
fine in the older TiBook cases, however purchasing said Superdrive is 
the rub I  would think, it may be possible to buy one from apple if you 
absolutely have to have it, but I think it would be prohibitively

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there still is a resource fork in OS X, 
it's simply a matter of file association data is not limited to the 
resource fork. that's why you can save a word document without the .doc 
extension and it will still retain it's association with word.

Re: Laptop Bags (Was: Re: My Accident)

[Andrew Johnson]

There's another problem with Brenthaven in my opinion, all of their 
bags a) look the same and b) are not at all stylish.
The only one that bucks the trend is the executive backpack, but even 
that is very boringly styled.

I personally use an inCase bag for my TiBook, it fits perfectly and has 
protected the book well. I don't abuse it, but it definitely protected 
the book from a glass bottle that fell from a foot above it (I was 
expecting at least a small dent.) but she came out unscathed!

1 caveat: you can't carry much more than the book, the white powerbrick 
(the ufo one won't fit in the side pocket) and some misc. adapters 
(vga-dvi, svga-composite)

but then again it is designed to be able to be put in another bag.

Now that's really odd, because I have a walstreet 250 which I run 
10.2.2 on also. The only time I see ol' happy mac is when the pram 
battery has failed and it has to do what I can only assume is reload 
the boot extensions which allow it to boot os x. (Since the Wallstreet 
is an 'Old World' architecture machine, it's ROM is not in any kind of 
flash memory, therefore something must be done to soft-overwrite the 
rom to show the apple logo instead of happy mac.) but like I said, I 
only see happy mac once, then on every subsequent boot it's just grey 
apple.

10.2 will work with any hardware that 10.1 did, however you do not get 
the Quartz Extreme enhancement with cards that have <16mb of vram. On 
that note, the iBook's Video card cannot be replaced, leaving you the 
only option of upgrading your iBook to a newer revision if you want QE 
goodness.

Same problem here, Wallstreet 250MHz... thought it might have been a

Network storage is what I backup to, it's the cheapest option given 
that I already have the infrastructure in place. And if I don't have 
access to it and absolutely have to get it copied I can drop it to CD, 
if your wife gets the oh-so-beautiful 1GHz w/ superdrive... there's 
always DVD-R albeit an expensive option at $5 a disc for apple's media.

Linux on TiBook 800 booting to 667

[Andrew Johnson]

I read somewhere that G4-800s running linux failed to boot up in 800 
but rather defaulted to 667, does anyone have a link to any information 
regarding this? I know there was a site up a few months back that spoke 
of success getting Ti800s to boot up in 800. I was wondering if that 
could be applied to the Ti667 in a similar manner to give me that extra 
boost when I need it.

The great tragedy being that Wallstreets don't accept Airport cards 
(how I wish they did) I've used an orinoco gold under 9.2 and it worked 
beautifully, haven't tried any cards under 10.2.2 yet, any 
recommendations there? (and do you absolutely have to use the

Wow that actually worked, my Wallstreet is now a fully functional OSX 
machine now. Here's what I did if anyone else wants to follow in my 
footsteps

1) Installed 9.2.2 on the hard drive (had never installed it since I 
wiped the machine) from the copy that came with my TiBook.
2) Rebooted into OS9 and set all the display properties so that they 
would be written to PRAM for certain.
3) Rebooted into OSX

I knew something was different when the "blue loading screen" of OSX 
(where the bar fills up) had the backlight activated... wooha!

Thanks again!

Wallstreet Sleep Problems

[Andrew Johnson]

I know this question has been discussed before, but I couldn't find 
anything in the archives, so here goes:

I have a Wallstreet 250Mhz (13.3" screen from hell yadda yadda) with 
96mb ram and the original 4gb drive. On a whim I installed 10.2 on it 
and immediately was plagued with the "sleep of death" problem (when you 
return from sleep the LCD backlight is non-functional) hoping that 
10.2.2 would address this problem, I installed that update.. but still 
no luck. Has anyone had any luck with getting Jaguar to behave on 
Powerbook G3 systems in this regard?

(and before anyone berates me for putting OSX on this laptop, it's only 
a hobby machine, my TiBook 667 is my main workhorse)

Re: the dark side

[Andrew Johnson]

on a similar note, are their any PPC emulators for mac? (ie is there 
anything where I can host multiple virtual macs inside my own physical 
mac?) This would be great for running classic in a real PPC environment 
instead of the translation that it is (I hear that DP1 of OS X used a 
disk image to load classic instead of mounting the system folder from 
the root directory, was it doing emulation or more classic-esque 
tricks?)

TiBook DVI Sound problems

[Andrew Johnson]

Sometimes when I detach my powerbook from its external speakers (it's 
mostly used as a desktop computer) the sound system will just die. 
iTunes will not play music (I can hit play but the counter stays at 
0:00) the +/- volume keys simply raise and lower phantom volume without 
sounds, and the real kicker that is when plugged my speakers back in, 
my session died, plopping me back out to the login screen. Does anyone 
know about this problem?

Thanks,
Andrew

OT: FAT32 support on OS X?

[Andrew Johnson]

Out of the box, OS X does not support FAT32 drives. However, I read 
once on apple's developer site that support for other file systems 
could easily be added since it was contained in the open source end of 
the project (whether that is mach or darwin I couldn't say) My question 
is does anyone know of such a piece of software, whether it be a kernel 
extension, driver or what-have-you?

Re: travelstar

[Andrew Johnson]

New travelstars (and other hard drives) have what they call "fluid 
dynamic bearings" which are insanely quiet compared to the older 
technology. (me being an electrical rather than mechanical engineer, 
please don't ask me to explain why) all I know is that my old Dell 
laptop had a 6gb travelstar which sounded like LAX on a busy day and I 
have to put my ear against the case of my 667 (DVI) to hear anything 
(thats with the 40gb drive offered by apple)

Just another reason I love my PowerBook...

Re: Lombard battery

[Andrew Johnson]

Try charging it on a different Powerbook G3 (Lombard and Pismo will 
work according to my room-mate) if that doesn't work, then I guess a 
new battery would probably be in order. (maybe the standard remedy of 
zapping the pram might work as well?)
