However, there is no question that Apple's decision to abandon SCSI technology in favor of USB in those early iMacs was a step backwards for external storage use. David, that where a lot of people had different opinions. Those that were heavily invested in SCSI floppy disks were anti-iMac; those that weren't, like myself, embraced the future. Remember the phrase SCSI VooDoo? I never liked SCSI because it was so problematical. However, I do remember a slew of SCSI and serial adapters plus external floppy drives were released right after the iMac came out, as vendors rushed to capitalize on the anti-iMac market.

After pooh-poohing Apple's USB route, the PC drones decided to jump on the bandwagon, but waited for USB2 and then immediately started being snide about USB 1.1's speed. Of course Apple has beaten them again with FireWire.

Seems perfect for light use, and even fits into my laptop bag nicely. However, I don't think I can do anything with it under OSX.

I don't see a way to put the Citizen Notebook Printer II into an Epson mode... but I've also not found a real manual. I have looked at the list of configurable options at powerup of the printer though. Strydent/Powerprint has the 5.0 product which is not actually available for sale form their shopping cart, which isn't a good sign. They list a ton of compatible Citizen printers but say nothing re: OSX and nothing about the particular model printer I have. Does someone know if this has an Epson mode I can put it into, or if I could print to it as a lpr somehow if I get it some sort of network adapter? I know this thing is old but it fits more of my niche need than one of the more curent portables I've seen lately. Anyone have any information to share about it?

Re: Wireless on Rev B iMac running OS 9.1 G4 PB

As the express is 802.G you will not lose any speed over the extreme if you use it in place of the extreme. When the installer was here, that was what I tried first. Unfortunately, the AE couldn't get the numbers. I then moved the AEBS out to where the AES is located and plugged the WiMax Cat5 cable into it. Again, it couldn't find the numbers but after trying different settings it did. I've left it alone as it is working and I don't want to break it. I had tried connecting the Bondi to the AEBS when they were co-located but the Bondi never could see the AEBS. Remember, the Bondi is running Mac OS 9.1. My set up is similar only using 802.b and g mixed. I have a Netgear router connected to a cable modem No other wires connecting a g4 sawtooth and a g4 ibook both running panther, also a 3400c powerbook running 9.1. Just connected in the last two days a g3 imac running X via a graphite base station the base station is acting as a bridge to the Netgear, and there is a lexmark photo printer connected to the sawtooth witch all the Macs except the 3400 can print to. The 3400 prints to a folder on the sawtooth then it is printed from there. I want to use the imac for this but at the moment cannot seem to get it to run it is seen but just not able to print but it will work soon. Good luck with you home network? -- Sincerely, Dennis B.

Re: Doesn't anyone wait anymore?!

I was speaking from the heart and it might not have needed to be so important, but I'm just tired of upgrades folks. Yea Tiger sounds cool this and cool that, but it just seems that once I FINALLY get comfortable with my damn computer, Apple is racing the clock to make it obsolete. These big OS upgrades make me nervous. It's only a matter of time before the ATI video card in my Pismo will no longer be supported. Tiger supports it. . .for now. In my opinion, Apple needs to SLOW DOWN. They should have just stuck with Panther for a while, and focused their developing efforts to bring back the Newton, and concentrate on a G5 PowerBook / iBook. When it comes to software, I say what most people say about hardware that works. . .if it ain't broke, why fix it?! Anyway, no need to respond to this, I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who prefers to wait it out when major OS upgrades roll out yet again. I just hope someone at Apple reads this and agrees. Maybe Tiger will be the new OS for the next 2 or even 3 years. Apple could stretch it out. . . after all, they have to go from 10.4.0 all the way up to 10.4.9! Thanks again! Sounds like you would be much happier using Windows. Afterall, Windows XP came out in what, 2003? and its successor, codenamed Longhorn isn't scheduled to ship until 2006, possibly 2007.

More iBook questions

What should I look for, and where? Should I just try to install the Firmware Update anyway?

iBook won't boot up from CD + more info
Sorry for top posting but I STILL haven't received the messages I sent last night, nor, if any, replies. IF anyone gets this, could you reply directly? I was able to get the iBook to boot up using my OS 10.3 install disk and my Tech Tool Pro 4.01 disk. However, it won't boot up with the Tech Tool Pro 3.01 disk. Since the two former disks are OS 10 boot disks and the latter is an OS 9 boot disk, is it possible that this iBook can't boot into OS 9? I thought that all 2001 Macs could still boot up into OS 9. I went to Apple's website and tried to get info on the iBook but Apple said that the model number M6497 can't be found. I read the specification sheet on the early 2001 iBook but it used a model number M7... ORIGINAL MESSAGE: I was given an iBook (M6497, 2001) and am trying to get it to boot up into OS 9. The person who gave it to me started to install OS 10 but never finished the installation, so the iBook boots up into OS 10 but before getting to where I can access the Startup Disk Control Panel, launches into the continue installtion mode. I tried to boot up from my Tech Tool Pro 3 disk by holding down the C key but it just booted from the hard drive (This may be due to the type of CD drive; my Bondi Rev B has never booted from a CD using the hold-down-the-C-key) What is the other key to use to choose a startup disk?

Try using a cleaning CD in the drive. In its search for info the eye might get swiped clean enough to work. Ok, I was finally able to get it to boot with an external Firewire drive running 10.2.6. Apple System Profiler gave me the following information: 500 MHz G3 128 MB RAM 9.36 GB HD CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive Machine model: iBook (version = 22.15) Sales Order # M8520LL/A I then tried to boot with a 9.1 install CD, it started and then bombed saying to restart with extensions off. When I did, it bombed again. I next tried a 9.2.1 install CD. Again, it bombed saying to start with extensions off. When I did, it finally booted up. I then ran Disk First Aid and it said the hard drive appeared to be ok. So, I've determined that the iBook is an iBook 22.15, a top-of-the-line Dual-USB. After the battery charges, I will see about wiping the hard drive and installing OS 9.2.1. The hard drive and RAM are too low to install 10 AND expect good performance. If I decide to do more, I'll have to take it to an Apple Store and have the RAM maxed out plus a larger HD put in it. -- Sincerely, Dennis B.

Weird OS X problem
I know that this list is for PowerBooks but I didn't get any response on the iMac list, so I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help. I came home Thursday night and went to check my mail, do some Quicken stuff, and so forth. However, I have a MAJOR problem with my G4 iMac, 10.3.7. Just about every third party program crashes on launch and generates an error message that have the following in common: something about a shared library error and the a string that looks like this: ...CarbonLibCFMPriv_QD Where the ellipses (...) are in the example, the text varies. The iMac worked fine Thursday morning. Any ideas as to what is causing this? I've repaired permissions, ran the cron scripts. I also tried it on a test admin account with the same errors. My next idea was to re-run the 10.3.7 update, or, maybe better, do an Archive Install of 10.3 and then just update to 10.3.6 -- Sincerely, Dennis B.

Re: Mac keyboards (was: Shift-apple-cmd-power key combo?)
At 9:16 AM +0100 1/4/05, Marcin Wichary wrote: You may have the keys mixed up. The Apple key is the Command key. I believe Apple should be at fault here. On PCs every key had one designation and it was perfectly clear which is which. On my PowerBook G4, UK edition: - the ctrl key is Ctrl or ^ (not labeled) - the alt key is Alt or the railway symbol - the command key is Command (not labeled) or the Apple symbol or the cloverleaf symbol - the shift key is Shift (not labeled) or the open arrow - there are two enter/return keys, each with own symbol And my personal favourite is the escape key, which is Esc, but also has a symbol (a circle with an arrow pointing out). This symbol is not present on my keyboard, but I found it (and only it) in one of the (older) programs, and its also shown in the Force Quit menu item. Took me 10 minutes to figure out which key that might be. On my recent Apple keyboards I have: control, option (with a tiny alt in the upper left corner), what Apple calls the Command key that has an Open-Apple in the lower left corner and the cloverleaf in the lower right corner, space bar, Command, option, control The alt was added to the option key so that people used to pc machines would know what the key did The escape key just has esc on it. I suspect that the escape key you have is due to some EU decree for the multiple language situation. History Lesson: Originally, what is now the left Command key was called the Open-Apple key on the Apple II keyboards. The right Command key was called the Closed-Apple key and the apple was a solid one. Both of these modifier keys did different actions. When the Mac came out it dropped the Closed-Apple key but kept the Open-Apple key, added the cloverleaf, and called it the Command key. BTW, there is a name for the cloverleaf symbol; it is something like Quadrial, Quadrigale, IIRC -- Sincerely, Dennis B.

I insert the Install 1 CD of Panther, tell the Start Up control panel in system preferences to boot from the cd, and restart. I get the Drab Apple splash screen and then nothing. The splash screen just stays there. after about 5 minutes, I hold down the power button until the PB shuts down. I then power up again, holding down the trackpad button until the cd ejects.

Are you seriously telling me that you think M$ will sell a version of VPC that will allow faultless running of Linux etc ? VPC will no longer be a PC emulator the way it was under Connectix, it will be much more like SoftWindows (remember ?). I hate them for it, but if I was them I'd probably do the same. Well, here is the thing, it would take WORK to break the ability to boot Linux and other OSes that they just don't want to spend. What you aren't going to see is VPC additions for anything other than Windows-based OSes, and absolutely no help when creating a new drive. Beyond that, MS would have to do a fair amount of work to truly disable other OSes that just doesn't make business sense. The main question is WHY did M$ grab VPC? There isn't any reason except that VPC's ability to run non-M$ operating systems was a threat. Connectix had a version of VPC that ran under Windoze and the only way M$ could kill or control that was to grab VPC away from Connectix. It is also instructive to note that M$ did not hire the VPC programmers; just a few token ones to help with the transition. -- Sincerely, Dennis B.

I assume because they were thought to be the best times to find the computer not being used (I seem to recall that the scripts won't run if the computer is being used). Apple really screwed up on implementing the scripts: 1. They scheduled them for when the vast majority of people have their computers OFF or in sleep mode. A totally asinine decision. 2. They could have made the scripts wake up the computer from sleep mode, run the scripts and then put the computer back to sleep. No, that would be too intelligent. 3. They could have set the scripts to run as part of the boot up process.
