Well, it was more ignorance on my part of the entire issue, rather than just 
being passive or apathetic. But I am sure MS and Apple would be just as 
anxious to protect YOUR property rights as well(?).

(THAT was cheap!)

Anyway, I hear you; thanks for the info!

I will definitely be more aware of this issue in the future.

Yeah, I guess most folks out there are not as diligent as you when it comes 
to citizen-software-piracy enforcement. Me? I would have just moved onto 
another seller without the piracy lesson.

That must be the most broken law in the world then, because I rarely see a

or 
missing the hard drive.

I don't know about it being an indicator of anyone's honesty or not; what 
about situations where individuals are selling their personal laptops after 
being 
upgraded? Doesn't the act of piracy require some requisite mental state?

Also, doesn't the frequently seen "Buyer must erase drive after reviewing OS" 
pretty much cover any loose ends?

G3 iBook LCD question

[GalBros]

Hi, what is the exchange matrix for LCDs for iBooks, starting with the 500mhz 
dual USB on up?

I recently obtained an iBook 500mhz with a busted screen. I was told all of 
the non-clamshell G3 iBook LCDs could be used with it, but the 800mhz and 
900mhz LCDs would be a slightly different color.

Thank you for the help!

Yes, unfortunately we all have similar stories to share.

Often, while traveling for work, I visit little ($99 complete Pentium 
systems!) computer places around AL, TN and MS, I will find Mac stuff at PC 
refurbishers, seperated and stored away from the PC stuff in the back of the 
store. In 
some of the smaller towns, even pre-pentium PC stuff would be displayed 
proudly, and G3-G4 Mac stuff is stored away just because the tech there does 
not 
know how to startup the thing, or the flashing question-mark disk spooks them.

The PC guys will usually say "I know nothing about Macs, just get it out of 
here!" I think that, as experts in the PC world, it must frustrate them to no 
end that Macs are beyond their realm of comprehension. 

Kinda like Dr. McCoy used to react when he attemped to treat Mr. Spock (or 
any other alien) for any illnesses. "Your heart is in the WRONG place...!"

I use IE 5.1 on my classic-laden Wallstreet, and I have no problem with Ebay, 
buying or selling, though I mostly buy. I know I have listed an item at least 
once using my WS, and I have never upgraded it to OSX.

I remember once I had a problem listing an item I was going to sell, but that

Yes, some wireless cards, like Orinoco, that are "Airport compatible" under 
Classic are not Airport compatible under OSX.  When a friend obtained an OSX 
10.2 Wallstreet awhile ago, it would not use my Lucent Orinoco wifi card as an 
Airport card, like my 9.2 Wallstreet could.

Also, some cards that are Airport'able under OSX are not under Classic (most 
recently I discovered that the Sony/Ericsson GPRS card is one of these).

Any card with the Broadcom chipset (SOME of the cards/adapters by Belkin, 
Buffalo [what my friend now uses in his 10.2 WS], Linksys, Sonnet, among 
others) 
will be seen as an Airport card in OSX 10.2 and up.

Well, a Belkin 802.11b wireless card, f5d6020 will work with Mac OS9 and 
10.2-10.4 using (either?) an IOxperts or MacSense driver. If the IOxperts 
driver 
is the same as what comes with Orinoco cards for Macs (correct me, list?) I 
think I have the OS9 version available.

However, isn't the 6020 a non-cardbus card? Sometimes some entities use 
"cardbus" and "PCMCIA" interchangeably.

Say, another question: What screen are you using with your Wallstreet? I 
think I remember surmizing awhile back that the brightness issue may be because 
my 
friend has a 12.1" active matrix (not the more common 12.1" passive matrix) 
LCD on his Wallstreet. I am wondering if the problem exists with 13.3" or 14.1" 
Active matrix LCDs also.

Replacement cd-rom drives can be had for about $20-$30 on Ebay, shipped. You 
could opt for a DVD-rom drive for about $10-$20 dollars more, but you'll need 
the DVD PC card for the Wallstreet to show DVD movies.

The Wallstreet's design on the cd/dvd module makes swapping in 3rd party 
media drives impossible. VST, I think, used to make a cd-rw module for the 
Wallstreet, but they are rare and priced accordingly. The last one I saw went 
for 
$100+ on Ebay.

Forgot to mention: The 1400 has a good keyboard also (I do not THINK it is 
the same as the 5300/3400 type?). If a 1400 is too slow, then a 5300 would be 
intolerably so for you. But maybe a G3 upgrade for the 1400 would be the 
solution. Their batteries are expensive and getting hard to find in good 
condition, 
though.

Hello, I would like to opine on this. I am a writer (legal) as well, and I 
surf endlessly on legal sites to research.

While I do have an iBook, I prefer using my ancient Powerbook 5300c or 3400c 
for my daily writing, especially when I am out and about. First of all, the 
keyboard on these two machines (identical keyboards) are in my opinion the very 
best Apple keyboard for typing. The keys have a nice feel to them, and take a 
dedicated finger-punch to register, and the spring feel seems just right, for 
me at least. 

Secondly, both have cheap, cheap ($5-$10) batteries out there that still hold 
good charges; the 3400c more so. I can pack my two 3400c li-ion batteries, or 
my four 5300c ni-cads, and have productivity at Starbucks or the Waffle House 
for 4-5 hours. Also, both can be made to be wireless. 

Most importantly, while neither is a lightweight compared to today's moden 
Apple laptops, both are pretty ruggedly built, and neither is expensive enough 
to worry about getting stolen or broken.

Aha, I see.

The Airport card I retreived from the Base Station (Snow/Dual USB, if that 
makes a difference) has no antenna that I can see; it has the antenna jack that 
is on every other Airport card I have seen.

But if it is somehow otherwise a different card than the ones that are for 
iBooks, that would explain things. Thanks!

Airport cards

[GalBros]

Hello, I think it was on this list recently where a lister blew two 
motherboards from using a bad Airport card?

I obtained an airport card from a broken (per owner) Airport Base Station. I 
installed the airport card in my iBook ; on startup in 10.3, I was given a 
message saying I needed to restart the laptop, either by pressing the startup 
button for a few seconds, or resetting the laptop. Tried it again, same result. 
I 
am as sure as can be that I installed it correctly...

Re-installed the Airport card that was already in the iBook, and everything 
was fine again.

Do I have a faulty Airport card? Either that, or I'll bet I did something 
wrong with the installation of the card...

Thanks,

It should; if you can find the original software -- online or on a disc -- 
see if a Mac version is offered.

If not, find out the chipset of the card. Most (if not all) 802.11b cards 
that can be used by Airport are Orinoco chipset cards, so some maker's orinoco 
software should work. I am not sure Airport can work on any OS prior to 9.x, 
but 
I may be mistaken.

slow startup on ibook G3 600mhz

[GalBros]

Hi, I am having an issue with my 600mhz iBook G3.

I week ago I installed OSX.1 on it, and had no problems with it.

Today I acquired a Airport card for it. I installed it, and started up the 
ibook. All of a sudden, the startup process was s-l-o-w-e-r than I ever 
remember; the little cartwheel would spin for what seemed like ages...

Finally, after about 10-15 minutes, all that appeared was (in the upper right 
hand corner) the time/date display, the battery level and a little wireless 
indicator; no desktop icons, no desktop background. Choosing any of the 
mentioned items had no reponse. All I could do was to press the start button to 
shut 
the machine down.

Removed the Airport card, and the same thing occurred. long startup resulting 
in just the three icons in the upper right hand corner.

What did I do wrong? I know the Airport card works, as I am using it right 
now in a clamshell. And the machine started up perfectly several times last 
week, after I installed 10.1.

Basic iBook g3 questions

[GalBros]

Hi,

I recently acquired my first ibook, a "late 2001" 600mhz G3 model. 

When I plug the laptop in, sometimes the lamp around the AC port is amber, 
and sometimes it is green. Also, when I jiggle the portion of the adapter where 
it plugs into the laptop, it goes from green to amber while still plugged in.

What do the colors mean, and is it supposed to change color when jiggled 
while plugged in?

Also, I am interested in (someday) replacing the dvd drive in it with a 
slot-loading cd-rw unit; can someone assist me with this offlist?

Thanks, Ivy F.

Yes. Any of the active matrix TFT LCDs -- the 12" TFT (not the passive 12" 
FSTN) the 13" and the 14"-- can work with any Wallstreet.

The only LCD issue with Wallstreets I have ever noticed is that a 12" FSTN 
screen cannot work with a Series II (233/512,266,300) mobo.

What size LCD screen do you have? The 13" LCDs have been known to have some 
issues that sound similar.

Re: Lombard issues

[GalBros]

Sorry to hear about your problems with your Lombard. 

>From my experiences with Lombards (I have a 400mhz) the feeezing and 
non-booting could be from a faulty processor.

Is there some kind of pattern to the non-functioning? When it cannot boot at 
all; is that only after it crashes after it starts up & freezes?

It sounds like you're thinking it could be the OS; I think it may be a faulty 
processor card, and/or maybe an overheating one. Would you happen to have / 
access to an extra Lombard processor?
