Re: Upgrade

2003-03-11 Thread Dustin
To boot to OS 9:
This is what you have to do.  Print or write out these steps.

1) Boot up in OS X.  (Or quit all applications if already
in OS X.  If classic is already running, force-quit it.)
2) Open the startup disk control:
AppleMenu - SystemPreferences - StartupDisk
3) In the Startup Disk control, click on your partition
having the OS 9 startup system folder, to designate it
as the startup disk.  Do NOT click restart.
4) Click on Show All (system preferences) and when the
popup window asks if are sure you want to change the
startup disk, click change.
5) Click on classic in the System section of the
System Preferences window.
6) Click the Advanced tab.
7) Click Rebuild Desktop in the other classic utilities
section.  (It may take a few seconds after step 6 for
the rebuild desktop button to become active.)  Do
NOT click start classic.
8) Close the System Preferences window.
9) From your Apple Menu, choose restart.

Your Mac now should boot up in OS 9 without trouble.

The Wallstreet can only recognize 256 MB per slot...and that's not even

Re: USB card speed for Wall Streets

2003-03-10 Thread Dustin
Ok. It said 250 in the original e-mail, but Ok.

I think the Sonnet lowers the bus speed to 66 MHz. But they did have DVD
players on 66 Mhz notebooks (early iBooks), so go for it. I would
recommend a CardBus DVD drive. It would be bus powered (less cables) and
probably a bit faster. Check compatibility though. 

And the Wallstreet's DVD decoder card is not supported by OS X in case
you didn't know.

DVD playing is not supported in OS X on a Wallstreet, precisely because
of the decoder card that is not supported. Apple felt they had to put
their time and resources somewhere else or they were a little lazy so
they decided they wouldn't support it. Now, I think I've seen, back when
OS X was released and I was still using a Wallstreet, a few hacks that
would describe how to install the DVD player and maybe how to play DVDs
using software decoding, but that was a long time ago, so I might be
wrong...

Wall Street. I got the G4/500 from Sonnet.

So with a G4/500 it WOULD be fast enough, regardless of 
the bus speed (83 Mhz, I think)?

Re: USB card speed for Wall Streets?

2003-03-09 Thread Dustin
The speed of the USB card wouldn't be the issue. The processor is
probably too slow to play a DVD or stream media (the G3 250 anyway).

Is it a Kanga (the original G3)
http://www.lowendmac.com/pb2/g3.shtml
Or a G3 Series (Wallstreet)
http://www.lowendmac.com/pb2/g3series.shtml

Re: Wallstreet Saga Part 3: The Fan

2003-03-08 Thread Dustin
Pull the battery out, and the power plug out. Leave it for a while (try
a few minutes first, and then leave it overnight if nothing happens),
and plug everything back in. If the fan doesn't turn back on, try
booting (if you can't boot, reset the power manager holding the keys for
10 seconds then waiting for 20 seconds). Hopefully that will improve the
situation a bit.

If the fan turns back on, I dunno :-(

Re: Problems booting to OS 9

Thanks for all of the help. I got into OS 9...but not by anyone's
suggestion. OS 9 is the only working boot partition :-(

After I updated to 10.2.4, and restarted, it crashed on shutdown. After
running Disk First Aid from OS 9 and the OS X install CD and repairing
everything, it still won't boot. The computer gets to the grey apple

sh-2.05a# appears in the upper left corner...

Subject: Re: Problems booting to OS 9

Dustin,

I see you've got a number of replies to your problem, but I'm not sure 
the terrific advice they've offered will help you much.  I had a 
similar problme with my Pismo.  Your symptoms are identical to what I 
experienced.  The solution, though weird, is simple and reliable.  It 
was not a partition problem, nor a corruption.  It amounts to 
rebuilding the OS9 desktop.

This is what you have to do.  Print or write out these steps.

1) Boot up in OS X.  (Or quit all applications if already
in OS X.  If classic is already running, force-quit it.)
2) Open the startup disk control:
AppleMenu - SystemPreferences - StartupDisk
3) In the Startup Disk control, click on your partition
having the OS 9 startup system folder, to designate it
as the startup disk.  Do NOT click restart.
4) Click on Show All (system preferences) and when the
popup window asks if are sure you want to change the
startup disk, click change.
5) Click on classic in the System section of the
System Preferences window.
6) Click the Advanced tab.
7) Click Rebuild Desktop in the other classic utilities
section.  (It may take a few seconds after step 6 for
the rebuild desktop button to become active.)  Do
NOT click start classic.
8) Close the System Preferences window.
9) From your Apple Menu, choose restart.

Your Mac now should boot up in OS 9 without trouble.

I don't know why it is necessary to rebuild the desktop like this, but 
I do know that after running OS X and/or classic for a while, the only 
way to get my Mac to boot up again in OS 9 is to go through the above 
steps.  At least it works!  I always rebuild the OS 9 desktop before 
carbon-copy cloning my periodic backups as well, to insure that the 
backup disk is bootable in 9, if I happen to need that.

Hope this helps!

--Jim.

Dual batteries and OS X, Processor upgrades

2002-12-31 Thread Dustin
I have a few questions about PBG3 Wallstreets. Before I buy a second
battery, I had a few questions:
1a) Will OS X recognize both batteries (if you have one in each bay)?
1b) If it does, does it treat it as one large battery, or does it give
you two battery indicators?

Also, I want to upgrade the processor. But I don't have $300-$400 to
spend on a 500 MHz G3 or G4. I've looked on eBay, but that didn't help
much. I was thinking of getting a 266 or 300 MHz used proc at $120 and
$195 respectively. Would the speed increase be significant? I have a G3
233 w/cache now, and I use OS X 10.2.

Thanks,
-Dustin

Subject: Best 60 GByte drive for PB?

The top two contenders are IBM and Toshiba, both fluid bearing drives.
Same
access times despite the rotational speed differences. Sustained
transfers
are similar enough.

IBM has two versions:
IC225t060atcs05 and IC225t060atcx05
the later rated for continuous duty the former not!
Most retailers don't know the difference.

The Toshiba is cheaper, bare drive 209$ compared to 292$ for the IBM.
I'm still not sure about its duty cycle yet.

The Toshiba is smaller 9mm instead of 12.5mm. But that does not matter
as
the drive will be put into a G4 titanium. Then again it might be better
for
cooling.

Can anyone here help with other opinions and considerations?
Additional sources would be welcome.

Re: G4 Ti Powerbook accident :-(

2002-11-30 Thread Dustin
You aren't the first person on this list to spill beer on their
Powerbook...

 I thought it might be as simple as brightness, and but it is turned

all the way up. Incidentally, turning the brightness all the way down 
then all the way back up makes no discernable difference to the 
screen. So maybe it is a brightness thing, and it is just stuck at 
the lowest...?

What OS are you running? Is it Jag? I have had brightness problems in
10.2. Try booting to an OS 9 CD if you have one.

Subject: G4 Ti Powerbook accident :-(

Hi,

This is my first post to this list. I had used low end mac's Quadra 
list while refurbishing my old Quadra to give to a friend and the 
folks there were so helpful. I am hoping to have similar luck here.

You see, I've done something absolutely awful to my dear Ti 
Powerbook! Feel free to tell me what an idiot I am... believe me, 
that's what I am saying to myself!! You see I accidentally spilled 
beer(!) on the surface of the laptop. It was a bottle less than half 
full and it tipped onto the laptop. The opening landed right about 
between the space bar and the track pad. The second it tipped I 
grabbed it, so it only had a half a second to spill. And it wasn't 
full. So it's not like it poured in. I immediately soaked up what was 
there with paper towels (cussing profusely...) The liquid was mostly 
confined to this area of the lower keyboard. I removed the keyboard 
pad, and very carefully soaked up any droplets that I saw. Again, 
there wasn't a whole lot, it wasn't soaked. Mostly just at the ridge 
where the keyboard sits.

I opened the battery area and wiped in there and wiped the battery.

I removed the back and there was a small amount on the back metel 
cover. I looked inside and used a non static dry cloth to very 
carefull soak up anything I could see, but there wasn't much. There 
was one droplet on the large chip in the center that I think said 
lucent (is that the processor?) But not much to get from the back.

I put it all back together, and booted it up. It did boot up, but the 
screen was all dark. I could barely make out the desktop underneath. 
I let it run for a short while hoping the heat generated might help 
evaporate anything. No change, restarted, no change. So I shut down 
and packed it up and left it propped up with one corner down (the cd 
corner) hoping if there is anything in there it could flow down and 
out.

I left it like that overnight. Went to bed and prayed for my mac.

Today, started up, and same thing. Everything seems to work, but the 
screen is very dark. I can barely see the desktop, but I can see 
enough to see that it seems normal in there. I opened the monitors 
control panel and tried to adjust the monitor to overcompensate for 
the darkness. Not able to make any significant difference.

I thought it might be as simple as brightness, and but it is turned 
all the way up. Incidentally, turning the brightness all the way down 
then all the way back up makes no discernable difference to the 
screen. So maybe it is a brightness thing, and it is just stuck at 
the lowest...?

I've left it running so it can warm up and evaporate or whatever. I 
linked to it via ethernet, and everything appears to be there, and 
normal when linked remotely. I ran norton on it and it was fine.

So, the good news is that it seems to be ok except for the monitor 
display (which of course is a pretty crucial feature!)

There is only one local mac service place here and I don't have alot 
of faith in them... would rather try to troubleshoot this myself if I 
can.

I am kicking myself so much, I absolutely love this laptop and I 
can't believe I have done this. Can any of you help me with any ideas 
of how to remedy this problem?

Thanks and sorry so long...

Susan

 Still on 9.2.2
If you have the CD try to boot to it anyway...also try zapping PRAM.
Maybe it's just a setting that got stuck.
Check out this Apple tech doc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449

Inverter, hmmm? Is this something I can replace myself?
I finally found an inverter for a PowerBook G4. If you were to replace
it yourself it would be expensive ($180-350) and risky. I can't find any
info on how to replace one. If clearing the settings doesn't work, I
recommend calling Apple.

Re: Installing OS X 10.2 on Wallstreet Help!

2002-11-26 Thread Dustin
Sometimes when the screen is about to go to the spinning disc under
the
apple, the screen gets a bunch of horizontal lines and everything
grinds
to halt.

This happens to me sometimes too. I just restart, and everything is
fine. Never happens when the computer wakes from sleep though.

sometimes it will get to the blue install screen. The installer window
opens and then the installer fails with an unexpected error and asks
me to reboot.

Is it giving you an error code? That would be helpful. I would recommend
backing everything up and doing a full format. My drive was clean when I
installed 10.2, and I had no problems.

If you want to try anything other than a full reformat, you may want to
try using X Post Facto to install OS X. It may help.

Re: G3 vs G4

 I'm assuming you are comparing a PowerBook G4/500 to an iBook/800.

I'd go with the iBook/800 12'' screen with a CD Burner. It's newer,
smaller, and has QE capabilities the latter of which would benefit the
things you said you wanted to do with it.

Re: G3 vs G4

2002-11-20 Thread Dustin
Hi all,an opinion question,for web surfing and mpeg downloading and
playing,is a G3 800 as fast or faster than a G4 500mhz machine running
OS10.2 ? thankyou in advance

In OS 10.2 everything will be a bit faster on a G4, but I'm not sure
about that big of a clock speed gap. If you are going to be doing basic
stuff (downloading, playing music, etc) then go with the cheaper one.
You also might want to look at things other than the CPU speed, such as
hard drive size (essential for all of that music)

I'm assuming you are comparing a PowerBook G4/500 to an iBook/800.
 
The TiBooks are cooler (figuratively, anyway) and you can add a CD
Burner if it isn't already there.
The screen on the TiBook is MUCH larger than most iBooks's.
The iBook will beat the older TiBook's by a good margin in gaming
because of their much faster and more recent video cards. Also, only the
iBook's video card can do Quartz Extreme.
The iBook is more compact

Re: Mac vs. Dell - Ouch!

2002-11-15 Thread Dustin
Digital Video Editing has a history of non-reproducible results, bias
and possibly taking money in exchange for favorable benchmarks. C'mon,
how many Pentium 4 and Dell ads do you see on that site? Lots. How many
Apple ads do you see? None.

I personally have seen some of their benchmarks disproved (with me
present, that is.) The writer for the previous benchmark round had an
obviously biased tone.

I would not recommend taking these benchmarks seriously.

Re: test to list

2002-11-13 Thread Dustin

 Yes, it is, as evidenced by your message.

He might not be able to get messages because he is on .mac. Not too long
ago Dan Knight said:

Well this is interesting. I just checked the subscriber list for the
swap 
list -- mac.com email addresses only.

Almost every single subscription in feed mode reports 17 bounces. Nearly

every subscription in digest mode says 6 bounces.

Re: help! with router

2002-11-12 Thread Dustin

Go to : http://192.168.1.1
In your browser. Check if the router is getting an IP from the outside.
If it isn't, unplug your cable modem for 2 minutes and plug it back in. 

If it still can't get an IP go to Linksys's support page:
http://www.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=69
Scroll down...they have a whole section on setting up connections with
Earthlink.

When they say they don't support routers it usually means they can't
provide tech support or troubleshooting. You have to go the manufacturer
for support.

Subject: help! with router

i decided to go wireless after reading the previous posts. my pismo
works
fine directly connected to earthlink cable modem. it talks to and
configures
the linksys router (befw11s4 ver 2), but i can't get to the internet via
the
router, even though the wan led is lit on the router. i tried both the
suggested automatic ip address and typing in the numbers manually. the
isp
says they don't support home networks, and i have not gotten through to
linksys. any ideas out there? thanks

TiPaint

2002-06-25 Thread Dustin Staiger

(I e-mailed this earlier from another account and it didn't show up, so 
please excuse me if this is a duplicate.)

Is there a touch-up paint available to cover scuffs, scratches, and 
chips on the TiBook?  Some of the paint on the hinge of my TiBook has 
chipped and I'd like to polish it back up.

Thanks,

Dustin Staiger
