CD-ROM booting
Dear listers, I've got an old Toshiba 10X CD-ROM that I swapped into my Lombard, because the stock DVD-ROM was getting flaky, but it's not letting me boot from a known good SuSE Linux disc, even though it shows up in the Finder perfectly fine. Any suggestions? The drive starts to spin up, but it defaults to the hard drive before it can do anything with the CD. Caleb -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I can confirm that the current version of the Linksys wpc54gs card works fine with the Airport software, no additional drivers required.

Also on the list of good cards is the Sonnet Aria Extreme, as it also has the Broadcom chipset, and it's not bad at $70.

Re: plugging in the power lead - does it matter?
On Saturday, Jan 28, 2006, at 10:53 America/Chicago, Andrew in Ann Arbor wrote: I read that one should always plug in the power brick before connecting power lead to the Book. If I move it from one place to another, I am conscientiously unplugging it and re plugging it in correct sequence rather than just carrying it with the power lead and brick connected and then replugging the plug into the wall while still connected. I just want to check out if this is over paranoid behaviour or not? I mean the manual suggests not to move the Powerbook while on but people do - but carefully - right? I know that the 5XX series powerbooks were very particular about not being plugged into an unplugged adapter. This was one of the first (perhaps the first?) powerbook with the intelligent battery controller. Apparently plugging a 520 into an unplugged adapter would likely confuse the battery controller. Perhaps this is where the admonition against unplugging the adapter from the wall first came from? I'm not sure if the later powerbooks are as sensitive. On the other hand the power jack on the powerbook is subject to mechanical failure after some number of plug/unplug cycles so leaving the adapter plugged in when you move the computer may risk corrupting the powermanager but spare the power jack. Andrew in Ann Arbor technology is the answer, what was the question? I know that my Lombard doesn't care, one way or another, but it's got so many little things wrong with it that it probably doesn't care whether it's connected to an unplugged adapter or not.

Re: downloading movies
The answer to both questions is yes. You can do it, but if you don't own the disc, it is illegal, technically. However, I don't think they'll go after you for making personal copies. Caleb On Sunday, Jan 22, 2006, at 12:48 America/Chicago, Dennis Goglin wrote: I thought when I purchased my new ibook with the superdrive that I'd be able to download/import movies from a dvd and save them to view whenever I chose. I never really considered the infringement of copyrights or anything as selling something has never been part of the plan. I simply thought I'd be a cool way to create a video library. Whether I stored the movies on a larger external hard drive or copied them to disc. So I guess my question is two-fold: 1. Is it possible to save/copy a movie from a dvd that I have either rented or borrowed? 2. Is doing this illegal? I've briefly browsed some sites that claim to have software to support this.

It can and it can't. It will play a DVD, but it's so laggy and skips so much that I wouldn't recommend it. VLC is great on a G4 'Book, but not a Lombard.

Lombard display slightly darker at the bottom.
Dear Listers, This has been bugging me for a while, but the display on my Lombard is slightly darker near the bottom than at the top, and it's got a slight tan/brown hue to it in that area. It's not noticeable unless you're really looking, but when dealing with large white spaces, it shows up pretty clearly. The brown area seems to start about where the bottom edge of the keyboard lines up with the display and gets darker progressively towards the bottom edge of the screen. There is also a slight lighter area that is about two inches in from the right edge and goes up about 3/4 of an inch that is as bright and clear as the rest of the display.

Re: Zoltan's Retirement
IMHO, the only problem with the MacBook is the dumb name and the lack of PC Card support. Well, the styling is bland compared to my faithful Lombard, but if you like the Ti/AlBooks, you'll love the MacBook. Also, it's nowhere near as revolutionary as I would have liked to see, but that's just IMHO. Of course, I'll be using my faithful Lombard for another two years at least, so I can't comment at the moment. Caleb, PowerBook user @ Large in Redneck City, USA P.S.

Hot Lombard...
Dear listers, and, more specifically, fellow Lombard users, I've got my Lombard in my lap, as it virtually lives in my recliner. However, I was watching some video in VLC when I felt things getting hot. I then fired up TemperatureX and saw that my Lombard was running a smokin' 183 degrees Fahrenheit. Didn't even hear a fan, but I know there has to be on going, because it's dropped twenty-five degrees since I've been typing this email. Is this normal for a Lombard to get that hot?

Re: Battery not charging properly.
I hope it's going to work properly, as well. However, my thoughts are leaning towards the non-functioning side of things, as it's been 15 hours since I plugged it in and over 9 hours since my last post, and it's still showing 1% charge according to XBattery and OS X.

Re: Lombard OS X Install Crash
The DVD-ROM drive may be at fault. I know that my Lombard has a really flaky drive that tends to quit working randomly, so that may be a part of it. Also, OS X is extremely finicky about RAM, so I'd try checking some known good RAM. Also, you could try using Carbon Copy Cloner on a friend's Lombard or Pismo with your HD in an external enclosure.

Battery not charging properly.
Hi, Listers, I've got a NewerTech battery that is fresh out of the box. It was charging fine last night, but it seems to have stopped at 62% charge.

I did a reset-all in Open Firmware, but nothing is happening. Now, I did this last night when the PowerBook was reporting 100% charge and it drained in less than an hour, but then this happened.

Re: Battery not charging properly.
Tom, not to sound ignorant or anything, but aren't the little lights supposed to come on when it's charging, because mine certainly aren't. Even on my first attempt immediately after getting the battery, which resulted in OS X showing 100 % charge well before any actual charge, the lights were on. On the second try, which was after I believed OS X and tried to use the thing, I got three lights and 66% charge, before I got brilliant and decided to reset the thing using the Battery Reset Utility in OS 9. Nothing has happened since. So, did I break my $140 battery, is it the battery at fault, or is it just not wanting to do anything because the planets aren't aligned properly? Any help would be appreciated before I throw the Lombard through a second-story window or two in frustration.

The last was a Toshiba Satellite that died within two months of my getting it, so I'm not even going to consider it. I can squeeze a bit of life out of ancient NiMH batteries, as my old 190 is proof of. I still brag about my squeezing almost 6 hours out of a factory battery on the 190, on my freshman band trip to Florida.

I don't see how the battery utility could break the battery, but I have heard that completely draining them makes them act strange and possibly not function any longer. If it is new, you should be able to send it back if you can't get it to work and get a replacement if charging for a day or two doesn't work. If you got it from OWC, they are very good about replacing items they sell that don't function properly.

On the second try, which was after I believed OS X and tried to use the thing, I got three lights and 66% charge, before I got brilliant and decided to reset the thing using the Battery Reset Utility in OS 9. Nothing has happened since. So, did I break my $140 battery, is it the battery at fault, or is it just not wanting to do anything because the planets aren't aligned properly?

Re: Flaky New Battery or a PRAM issue?
I don't know about the Pismo, but, based on my Lombard experience, yes, it's a dead PRAM. Try booting into Open Firmware and typing 'reset-all'. That could help a lot. Caleb On Thursday, Jan 5, 2006, at 04:23 America/Chicago, Barry Muller wrote: Last summer I purchased a new battery for my Pismo and within the last few weeks occassionally (though with increasing frequency) it has gone from full charge to zero very quickly (w\in 15 minutes or so). It is one of those OWC batteries that promises 125% (IIRC) battery run-time of the original that came from Apple. Any rate, as the performance is inconsistent I was wondering if there is something else at play that make the Pismo think that the battery is discharged. Is this a symptom of PRAM going bad? When this happens - the pismo turns off - does not go to sleep and frequently the clock needs to be reset. BW - I do exercise the battery a lot, that is I usually run the Pismo on battery power. Also, when I reconnect the Pismo the batery shows 0 full and recharges - dunno if it charges faster than before. Just covering all bases before I go back to OWC about a possibly defective battery.

Re: MacInTouch Survey of i-Books and PowerBooks
I do agree with you, Bruce. I used my PowerBook 190 for a while as my primary machine, before I got the Lombard, and it was notoriously horrible, or so they said. I've used Apple's lemons, and the good ones, but I've never had a Mac go down for any failures except for the broken power connector on my 190, but I had a spare logic board to swap in. :-) I'm going to admit that I show uncharacteristically extreme bias when it comes to Apple products, but, as a Mac addict, I'll agree with almost everything that comes out of Steve's Reality Distortion Field as long as it doesn't include dropping the Mac OS or replacing the PowerBook line with a bunch of jokingly huge desktop replacements. Also, even though the Lombard is known for failed L2 caches, it's still my favorite PowerBook, and I've used a Pismo, Lombard, AlBook G4 and a 190, as well as being my favorite laptop, period. So, I have to disagree with the MacInTouch survey when it comes to Lombard reliability. Of course, I've had mine for a month, so I may be speaking prematurely. It's still singing on the original HD and processor, though. Now, if only I could get the DVD drive working with some consistency..

Apple ship laptops with 20% chance of needing warrantee repair in the first year?? 38% of all Apple laptops dead and out of commission after two years??!

Re: Comp USA wireless card
Personally, the only cards I've heard of that work consistently with any Mac are the ones with the Broadcom chipset, I believe.

I'm ordering a Sonnet Aria for my Lombard, along with a NewerTech battery, so that might be an option, if you have an extra $70 or so lying around.

Lombard Wireless Woes
Dear Listers, Does anyone know of a hacked driver to get a revision 4 Belkin F5D7010 wireless card to work under OS X. The revision 1, 2, 3 and 5 all work, with 1, 2 and 5 using the Airport drivers, and 3 works with the Ralink drivers. However, because of my stupidity, I ended up with a 4, because it was cheap and all that Wal-Mart had this afternoon. I also got a Linksys router, but my PC put it in its place. As I'm haphazardly moving my stuff onto a new connection, I've been running into issue after issue, so I could really use the help. It's been a hassle trying to setup everything to transfer over from my dialup that I've used for years over to a new cable connection, and I want everything ready before the installers get here on Thursday. Thanks in advance, Caleb P.S.

Re: Lombard Wireless Woes
Sorry about the double post, but I've done some tracing via the FCC site, but it seems that I'm out of luck. I traced the manufacturer of the revision 4 card to Askey Computers out of Taiwan, but when I checked their site, it A: Wouldn't render properly in Camino or Safari. (Big warning to Mac users) B: Had no Mac drivers. C: None of the drivers have been updated in almost 2 years. I'm giving up and calling Belkin to see if they'll replace my card. Hopefully, they'll help out a poor Mac user. Unfortunately, my gumshoe work made it unnecessary for your help.

All you need to do to get under the keyboard is pull the two little tabs at the top back and lift up. (The tabs are located between esc and F1 F8 and F9) After that, simply remove the heat shield.

IMHO, if you're going to watch anything on a Pismo or Lombard, boot into OS 9. It saves a whole lot of hassle, plus on the Lombard, it's the only way to go. I know this is slightly off the thread topic, but it's somewhat related, but I've been having troubles with discs refusing to mount on my Lombard. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Today, it really annoyed me, because I had a brand-new CD that I was trying to get to load on the ol' Lombard and it refused. It was an enhanced CD, but it still clearly said on the labeling that it would work on OS 8 or 9 with QuickTime 4 or above. The Lombard refuses to mount it in OS X, and I don't want to go to OS 9, because I don't have any mp3 encoding software for 9. In the end, I gave up and used iTunes on my Windoze machine, but I'm really irritated at things for not working on the Lombard. Any suggestions?

Caleb Caleb, I was eyeing that and was going to insert a paper clip into if other options didn't work. For me, watching a DVD is always a little sketchy on my good old Pismo. I think if I forward chapters or fast forward, it's prone to freezing up. Thanks, Donald -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: wallstreet questions
First, I have no idea on whether a CD-RW was made for the Wallstreet. I know the later Lombard and Pismo have aftermarket Superdrives available, but I don't know about the WS or WSII. Second, if I remember correctly, the Lombard and Wallstreet take the same RAM, with the lower slot being replaceable by pulling the daughtercard out and installing a low-profile chip. Someone who knows more about the Wallstreet can feel free to correct this, but I think it's replaceable. I know it is on a Lombard, though.

Re: wallstreet questions
IMHO, I'd upgrade the processor in any Wallstreet before going after RAM, as long as you have 128 MB or more. CD-R and RW drives are, no offence, extraneous gadgets that are a little farther down the list. However, that's only my opinion, but I'm used to a Lombard 400 with 192 MB of RAM and I'm looking to swap my 128 MB card for a 256 after I get a new battery in it.

Shut off Lombard display...
Is there any way to completely shut off the Lombard display when using an external monitor on OS X? I want to set it up where it only drives my desktop monitor (CTX 17, 1280x1024).

Re: Airport Question
I do agree with you, there. I know that I use Linux and OS X for most of what I do, but it's really a pain to have to jump through hoops to configure a router. Now, I agree with your condescending outlook on such things, but there are some things that I'd like to be able to see a picture of my OS on the box, so I know it works. I have an old HP Scanjet that refuses to work under any Mac OS. Of course, I knew that, simply because it's my grandpa's old scanner that he replaced when it wouldn't work on his new mini. Mice and keyboards are totally different from a wireless card or a router, as far as I'm concerned. Personally, I tend to look at the table of compatibility on the box, as it's usually more accurate than the pictures... For the record, I do have a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse with the ugly little Windows logo on the keyboard where the option key should be... Caleb P.S. Don't take this seriously and please don't take offense, but you might like to try putting the router in the freezer. That'll cool it down... :) CSC On Friday, Dec 23, 2005, at 02:02 America/Chicago, John Siple wrote: On Dec 22, 2005, at 10:49 PM, Clem Bacani wrote: Generally routers works fine for both PC and Mac but manufacturers had the habit of putting in their box that product works ok with Windows -- XP etc and no mention that it works ok with Mac.

I've yet to see a little hardware box with a Linux character on it but networking hardware would be perfectly happy there.

At any rate the works with tags on hardware are little more than stupidity honey. I've even seen mice and keyboards with little Windows flags on them that care not a jot what OS they're talking to. But there are surely some manufacturers who go the extra distance to invite Mac users to the table. Buffalo does that, as does LaCie. And I think I've seen more fried routers than any other type of hardware except perhaps hard drives or laptop screens. Routers get hot for some reason. They tend to break.

Re: Ti book
Vicki, How do you reset the Pismo/Lombard battery? I didn't even know that was possible... Now, as far as your Ti battery, I'd be calling AppleCare and having a long discussion with them about it. Sorry I can't be much of a help, Caleb On Monday, Dec 19, 2005, at 08:40 America/Chicago, VICTORIA.DUGGAN wrote: is there a reset for the Ti battery like with the pismo one,??

Re: OT: Mac mini slowing down...
Actually, it lives in sleep mode when he's not using it, so it should wake up and do the cron jobs on its own..

A mini (G4/1.25 GHz, 256 MB RAM) running Panther. Any help? Betcha he turns it off every night. Run a utility like Cocktail or MacJanitor to flush out the logs and do the daily cronjobs it's supposed to be doing at 3AM. betcha that speeds things up; when the logs get too big the consume a lot of memory while being written to, and on a marginal system like his, that really affects things. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig who says 'Ni!' -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
