crashing sys. prefs.

2004-01-02 Thread Billy Stidham
Hi

In 10.2, system prefs crash when I attempt to open networking. This is 
on a 550 Tibook with airport card installed. I have not
added anything new lately. But, I wanted to load the drivers for a 
Linksys card from ioxperts.

Thanks

Billy

Network card

2004-01-01 Thread Billy Stidham
Hi;

I have a Linksys networking card and I was wondering if it will work in 
my G4 powerbook, or if there is third party
software work around? OR does anyone have a recommendation for a 
compatible networking card. I want a little more
distance than my airport card permits.

Thanks

Billy

Re: Pismo Expansion Bay Hard Drive (housing)

 I Recently bought an expansion bay drive housing (MCE brand) for my
 G3 Powerbook (Firewire) Pismo, and can say I really like the
 product.  It was a bit awkward to properly tuck in the ribbon cables
 when installing my (not-included) 2.5 drive mechanism, but the
 instructions were clear and it was not difficult.  I also appreciated
 that the manufacturer even includes a wee screwdriver with the
 product.  I anticipate that with repeated drive replacements this
 ribbon cable will break, so don't plan on frequently swapping
 mechanisms.   Another nice thing about this housing, aside from the
 convenience of being an internal (expansion bay) device, is that it
 IS fully bootable, unlike firewire/usb/PCMCIA solutions.  Now I have
 a way to back up, and boot up, my Powerbook, aside from the CD-ROM.

 [This might sound like an advertisement, but it isn't.  I've been an
 advocate of the PCMCIA external housings on this list for a while,
 but the discovery that I can't boot from them with my Pismo (as I
 could with my 1400), got me looking for other options.]

Hi:
Forgive the long quote, but I wonder if anyone else has experience with
these enclosures? I believe others have mentioned these drives hanging
resulting in their machines overheating.

Also. Way off topic, I'm interested in using Direct TV or Dish Network
to connect to the internet. Salespersons say it only works with PCs.(ie. No
hardware for Mac) Is there a work-around? TIA. Billy

 I just picked up a VST Expansion Bay drive from SmartDisk on Monday for $50.
 It's a 10gb drive, and so far it works like a charm.
 
Where'd you get it?
