Pismo yo-yo adapter in Europe
I can't read the fine print on th back. Will a yo-yo adapter from the USA work on 220v and 50hz? As far as I can tell this is the basic yo-yo adapter with the silver apple logo on top. I know I need plug adapters if the electricity part works. Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Brian, Download the freeware program called CCC which stand for Carbon Copy Cloner. This great utility will greatly decrease the amount of time it will take to move Panther and everything else to your new drive. You can this either via a firewire drive or through Target Disk Mode. CCC can be found here: http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html I was under the impression that you shouldn't use CCC to move a system BETWEEN machines - that at the deep and invisible level the OS is hooked into a specific machine after an install and to simply move it to another model (in this case an iMac 500 to a Pismo 400) things may basically work but that I would be asking for trouble in the long run.

iMac Ram in a Pismo?
I have a 512K RAM module in an iMac 500 mhz DV I am getting ready to sell. I need to upgrade my Pismo from its current 192 to at least 640. Can I pull the 512 from the iMac (I think it was actually PC133 RAM - which was irrelevant to the iMac) and put it in my Pismo? What research I have done on the web is giving me mixed signals so I turn to this list. Will RAM from that iMac (same RAM as used in the Cube among other Macs) always work in my Pismo? Never work with my Pismo? Work under certain conditions (e.g. a certain slot)? Inquiring minds want to know!

Re: Pismo booting OS X from external Firewire
Laurent wrote: As another lister replied, yes and yes. The only thing you might want to consider is whether you'll be spending more time in OS X or OS 9. If you think you'll be spending more time in OS X, then it would be better to put OS X onto the internal drive and OS 9 on the FW drive. With virtual memory on all the time, you'll probably get better performance if OS X is running off the internal drive. If you will just use it from time to time, then it doesn't really matter. Just my $0.02 For the time being I will be in OS 9 more. For most of what I do, that is plenty fast. The other issue is that the FW drive is 40 gigs and the Pismo internal is only 10. From everything I have read I need to give Panther some room to breathe. I also only have 192 megs of RAM in the Pismo. AS soon as I have the $$$ I am going to add more RAM and get a bigger internal hard drive. If I can get my OS X setup off my iMac and onto the FW drive (easily doable according to answers here), I can then sell the iMac to generate some money towards the Pismo improvements. Thanks!

Pismo booting OS X from external Firewire?
I would like to shift my OS X usage from my iMac to my PowerBook Pismo. Until I get a chance to upgrade the hard drive to something larger, I am willing to live with operating in OS X off an external Firewire drive(and OS 9 off the internal drive). Will a Pismo boot from an external Firewire drive with OS X on it (specifically Panther)? If yes, a follow up question is if I can use Carbon Copy Cloner to simply move my present OS X to the Firewire drive and then boot from there.

Auto adapter for 3400 on a Pismo??
I have a new-to-me Pismo 400 mhz that is replacing a PB 3400. The added battery life is nice on the Pismo but there are still times an auto adapter on a long car trip would be better. I have a Lind Auto Adapter that works fine on my 3400. The part that plugs into the PowerBook seems to fit the Pismo, although not nearly as snugly as the yo-yo adapter plug. I guess the main issue is the output of the Auto Adpater to the PB. It is listed as out put of 24V and 2A (it is hard to read clearly but the yo-yo adapter looks like it is an output of 24V and 1.875A. So I guess it is an issue of the extra 0.125A). the model is APA-24-SP. I don't want to fry my Pismo either short term or long term, so any help on this would be appreciated.

Re: Pismo ethernet auto sensing
-BEGIN QUOTED MATERIAL-- The OP was asking about needing a crossover cable. Lots of people also refer to that as auto-sensing. According to Apple's document 42717, the Pismo would need a crossover. The TiBook and later doesn't. Here's a list: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42717 ---END QUOTED MATERIAL-- That's indeed what I was asking and I got the answer I needed. Thanks.

Pismo ethernet auto sensing??
Is the ethernet port on a G3 PowerBook (Pismo) auto sensing or did that come only to more recent PowerBooks? If you don't know what I mean by auto-sensing, I mean can it set up an ethernet network to another Mac without a hub, switch or router - by use of an ethernet cable only - and it doesn't matter if the cable is normal or cross-over? An auto sensing PowerBook would be able to tell and adjust accordingly. Brian -- Brian Braunschweiger The glass isn't half full or half empty.

Pismo basic questions
I just got a new-to-me Pismo and have some introductory questions. I have been using a 3400 for the last couple years and a 520c before that. QUESTION 1: It came with a yo-yo power adapter but the plug that connects it to the Pismo seems to go with difficulty, like it is a tight fit. Is this normal and is there anything about this I should worry about or be especially careful of? QUESTION 2: Putting CDS or DVDs into the DVD module also seems to be a tight fit over the spindle. What about that? QUESTION 3: The DVD tray, when fully extended, seems to be a bit flimsy, especially if I am applying pressure to get a CD or DVD over the spindle (see question 2). Normal? Precautions? QUESTION 4: There don't seem to be any feet on the bottom of the Pismo. Should there be? Thanks for any help as I get up and running with my new baby.
