Mac System 9.2 not seeing Nikon coolpix 5700 cf card
I've tried re-installing Nikon View 6.1 but for some reason, the CF card is not being seen and the program keeps asking me if I want to format it. Formatting it only results in the camera erasing all the images and then needing to be reformatted by the camera. I don't have any images that need to be kept so nothing has been lost and I plan to get it working before I take any more photos.

Re: Pismo rubber feet
Yes, hie thee down to your local WalMart or Dollar General and tell them you want the little round stickum pads they put under furniture. They are called Grippers and they are made by FloorKing. They will have them in black or white and in packages of 6 or 8 or 12. The sizes will vary from a diameter larger than a dime to about the diameter of a silver dollar. I am using two 1/2 inch pads at each corner of my Pismo. The height keeps my Pismo nice and cool and for the past few years has avoided all irritation and discomfort in my wrists and hands. I think there is some ergonomic value in having the Pismo at the right height for you, so for $2.95 a package, you can experiment. The pads last about 2 years for me, so you might want to let your local Mac group know you have them. d Hi. Please share with me what is the racket going on with replacing the powerbook rubber feet for a Pismo? I've visited at least three websites where they are trying to sell replacement stick-on rubber feet for close to $20. The lowest price at one site wanted $10 for the strip of four black stick-on rubber feet but then their shipping and handling was $10. This is insane since the weight isn't even listed because it does not register on most postal scales. Yup, you guessed it a first class no. 10 envelope for thirty seven cents and away they go. So as a temporary measure I went to Home Depot and purchased clear stick-on cabinet door bumpers 3/8 package of twenty for $2. The thickness is greater but I'm testing the first one to see if it stays on. Does anyone else have a suggestion for a reasonably priced source of black powerbook feet?

Re: Free wireless at hooters? [was Re: Any one heard ofCfgOpenTpt?
Settle down fellows. My, my, how your minds run wild. Here's the situation, and by the way, I did what was suggested and am now at the stage where Airport loads and shows a good connection but I can't get access (this is from the library). The reason I went to Hooters was totally benign. Gainesville has the digital downtown and it covers the courthouse and restaurants. Last week, I went to Harry's, after not being able to connect at the Mellow Mushroom Restaurant who have their own wireless system. Well, Harry's was getting 500k speeds and I only got that at MM when they were negotiating with the cable people. Now, stay with me here. When I go to Harry's, I have to eat their Jambalaya, made with rice. It is wonderful. It is the closest I've found to jambalaya that I ate as a teenager that was prepared by a real cajun swamp woman. But, jambalaya every week, especially when they serve it with the hot bread and spicy butter, is not part of my diet. So, I thought, off to Hooters, get a beer, watch the women while downloading, and was I ever disappointed. I watched the food. Nothing against the beautiful women, young women, but there is a sameness to them that is easy to habituate to. So, the food it was and the Cfg error. Besides, it would hard to explain to my church people what I was doing there. However, since there were a couple of the deputies there from the courthouse, in full uniform, talking to who appeared to be their atttorney or union rep, I think it was ok.

Just a note on a Mac G4 being chosen by specialists and paid forby Sweethearts
In the current issue of ATBI Quarterly*, a photo of the new G4 Mac and monitor, with scanner and monitor is shown. It's good to know that when DLIA (Discover Life in America) photographer Rebecca Schiflett did the research on what machine is best, she chose Mac. The system will allow them to scan in slides and prints and negatives and fresh specimens. And the National Park Service paid for it totally. d *ATBI = All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory. ATBI and DLIA are working hard in the Smokey Mountains to catalogue ALL life that is there. It is an awesome project that is being conducted by scientists and private volunteers. Their webpage, www.discoverlifeinamerica.org is under construction but they have already found 292 new species, with new to the Park being 2,163. If this much gets you excited, or you just like environmental stuff, or want to volunteer for a day or week or summer of collecting samples in the Park, or just want to send money to Jeanie, you can get more lurid details at the temporary webpages, http://atbi.biosci.ohio-state.edu/dlia/index.html There are a number of projects that are scheduled for the coming year, including a Beetle Blast, which can't be as interesting as the Myxoblast that I missed because I had to be in court, and you can find out more about all of this at the webpage. N.B. Disclaimer: I do not own and am not related to anyone who does own or make money, etc, from ATBI/DLIA. I just think it is one wonderful idea that is being put into some wonderful practices.

Where did you get the BTI adapter for your Pismo, cost and doesanyone have an Apple tattoo?
I am in the same budget range as you are, about $25, including shipping. This now should be possible since the PB1400, PB3400, the G3 series, the DUO 200 and Duo 2300 powersupplies will work on a Pismo. But where did you get your adapter? Finally, does anyone on the list have an Apple tattoo. I'm thinking about getting one. d P.S. Where does the name Pismo come from? while I struggled to get a replacement. Initially, I was looking on LEM-Swap and ebay for an older one, but they all seemed to be going for over $25 on ebay, which was more than I wanted to pay for something used.

Airport questions
I've just started using Airport on my Pismo (G3 Firewire) and it is wonderful. Some questions that ya'll may be able to help me with are: 1) I get the message on my Airport screen that 'false encryption' is there. What does that mean? The folks who run the system said to check with the experts -- meaning ya'll. 2) How do you deal with the glare of the sun and bright lights when using Airport near a window or outside? I thought of an old fashioned camera shade that goes from the screen to the back of my head, but that may not be appreciated. 3) Why are there so few people using the wireless connections? The access is free and legal but I am the only one using it in the mornings in a large mall type place in Florida. 4) Why are the free access places so poorly marketed? It's as if the geeks are in charge of the marketing, i.e., 'we built it, so they'll come' marketing. 5) Why have libraries been so obstinate and pigheaded, even reactionary, about adopting wireless?

Possible sublist for Airport WiFi discussions
Do you think there are enough Mac folks who use airport to start a list just for that? Earthlink is bonding with boingo, or has bonded, but as of yet they do not allow Macs into the pool. They said they will be ready for Macs by December. I think we need a group of unshaven, wooly minded, barefooted Mac Activists who are Wireless. Just to keep the dark side a little honest. Like it is going to be a list like this that has someone case out all the Gateway computer stores that have inside wireless so we can figure out how to boost their signal so the restaurants next door, or down the street, can access their wireless. The people at the stores don't know the answers to those questions. d -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

How do you capture video streaming through RealTime
There are some videos on the Florida Supreme Court webpage that I would like to download and save. At this time, all I can do is watch them streaming using RealTime. This is a pain because I have a slow phone connection and because I would like to view them when I am not hooked to the internet. Does anyone know the way to capture the video that comes through RealTime? If not, does anyone know what group or list would know?

Firewire Hard disk magic
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and I finally took the Western Digital drive out of the cage it was in and put it in a brand new cage and all the data are there and it the drive works like a honey. Odd, I never thought that I would have problems with my backup drive before I had problems with my primary system. So, feeling full of success and all fat and knowledgeable for doing all those disconnects and connects and actually have the damned thing work, my next project is going to be to put a nice neat 30 gig disk in my Pismo. Does anyone have a used 30 gig that is quiet? d, wondering what happens to all those disks that people trade up from. I still have my 500 meg disk and not much you can do with it. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

What were your Pismo temps with lid down?
Not true. As Remy pointed out, they are designed to operate this way. I've had my Pismo running 24/7 in this configuration for almost 2 years. I monitored the heat carefully for the first few months, because I was concerned about this as well, but, if anything, it seems to run cooler with the lid down (go figure). Never, not once, have I had a heat issue. -pha What were the temps you were running? And were you running heavy duty programs? d -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

MacStumbler: Need some lobbying for warwalking software
I've been emailing korben, author of open source MacStumbler, and offering him money and he has so far resisted me. What follows is his reply that I apologize for cross-posting. I think the need for a good 8.x and 9.x MacStumbler is worthy of a moon shot effort. How do we do this? None of the MacStumbler code is portable over to OS 9, it's all cocoa (objective-c) and the airport API under OS 9 is probably completely different. Since I know almost nothing about programming under OS 9 and since I never use it myself, I'm not planning on ever making an OS 9 version of MacStumbler. There is another app you can try called AP Scanner, you can find it at http://homepage.mac.com/typexi/Personal1.html . I don't mind if you put the idea of a port out there, but keep in mind none of the code will translate over, writing a port means starting from scratch. Also, the MacStumbler code is released under the GNU Public License (GPL) which basically means any project based on it's code must also publish it's code pubically, and may not charge a fee for distributing it. So if someone writes a program based on some of MacStumbler's code, they can't charge for it. I may end up fooling around with stuff in OS 9 and maybe create something halfway functional, but I don't like to give any guarantees. That's mainly the reason I decided not to ask for any money for MacStumbler, I'm just a student and I don't have a lot of time to support people who feel they're entitled to updates, etc because they payed money. -korben Is there some one who can do a MacStumbler for us? dh -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Apologies for cross posting but need help on surreptitious notsubversive downloading
Situation: I've got a fine Pismo G3 but a terribly slow phone connection. I need to download some large pgms and docs (Mozilla, etc,) and library only lets us use 1.4 meg floppies. So, has anyone been able to slip into the computer sections of their library and plug a zip drive into one of the almost always IBM type machines and download to the zip and then sneak out again? I need to know what plugs have to mate and if I need an entirely new zip drive. Of course, I would not consider this if someone would sell me a working Orinoco Wavelan card for 25$ or less. Or an Airport card for 25$ or less. Any suggestions would be appreciated and forgive me for cross posting this on different lists. dh P.S. I've heard the 5 gig ipods are best to use for this type of actitivity. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

cheapest WIFI card for G3Firewire Powerbook?
What is the cheapest airport type card I can buy for a G3 Firewire Powerbook (Pismo) that I can just stick into the side of the Pismo and start downloading megabytes of files at megabyte speeds from the free air net at city hall? Where would I get this card, especially since it may be a used one at such a great price? Will the needed software come with the card? Peace, d -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo track pad
Any comment from other Pismo owners? I've been using this Pismo for over two years. No problem with track pad at all. Much better than pad on 540 or 190cs. The 190 broke and I had to go to using a mouse. I love my Pismo and wish that some one would specify how I could fit another hard drive inside it. I have the original 6 gig and the CD/DVD which are rarely used. d -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo battery loose in battery bay--normal and PRAM battery?
My battery is snug in my Pismo. That's all I can tell you. There probably is a problem. Does it charge? Anyway my battery doesn't hold much of a charge after almost two years, so it probably isn't too much of a loss. Jim Mine is loose from front to back, but it snug vertically. Also, where is cheapest and quickest place to get the PRAM battery for a Pismo? My regular battery, albeit loose, holds a charge well and has done so for 2 years. I do use battery amnesia every couple of months or so. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
