Hi Folks,

Re: defective pismo

[Gary D. Adams]

The last time I upped my HD in my Pismo--to the 60gb Hitachi--I managed 
inadvertently to bend a daughtercard processor pin. Sometimes I got a 
boot chime and no video. I would seriously check this as the cause.

Re: iBook Drive

[Gary D. Adams]

I've got a 7200-rpm, 60gb Hitachi in my Pismo. Works nice. As for the 
"chatter"--try resetting the PMU on the clamshell. That might quiet it 
some. Going with the 4.86 gb drive is probably not much of a solution. 
You didn't say which clamshell she has, but wouldn't that drive be 
smaller? Optimizing the drive might help in quieting it, too, at least 
according to some things I've read. My clamshell chatters periodically 
and has for years.

Hello:

Sister's iBook (clamshell) HDD is on its way out, I think.  Making

machine boots fine afterwards, apparently.  Have told her to backup, 
NOW!  So, options?  Replacement with new drive, or replace with the 
current drive (12 gig) from my Pismo and a new drive for me?  Replace 
with IBM TravelStar 4.86 Gig from my cousin (PC Formatted, but that 
can be fixed) which is a working pull?  I do lots of image work and 
audio work, she does lots of word processing, ergo IMO I should be 
getting a new (read: bigger!) drive, not her.

Recall there was a 7200 rpm drive for laptops out.  Anybody have 
comments on this?
Thanks.

Re: problem with Lacie external drives and panther

[Gary D. Adams]

LaCie has a press release here: http://www.lacie.com/news/news.htm?id=10059

You need examine your drives to check the version of the firmware 
installed. LaCie has firmware updaters on their site. I assume you have 
another machine which you had these drives attached to. Go into Apple 
System Profiler on that machine and you can check them, download the 
firmware update and install it.

Maybe not. The power supply connection comes loose from the circuit

Just resolder the connector.

If the YoYo plug is intermittant, you can probably make it act up by 
wiggling the cable where it connects to the plug ot the YoYo. If it's 
the WallStreet connection then wiggling the plug relative to the 
Wallstreet should show it. Try not to wiggle one while you are 
wiggling the other.

 Anyone have any thoughts besides a new yo-yo?  And are there any
alternatives, since I hear horror stories about them?
If your  YoYo's bad just start hacking at it to find the problem. If 
you have a bad DC cable connection at the YoYo end, split open the 
YoYo, strip the wire and re-solder it. Slap on a bit of silicone 
rubber for a strain relief. Glue the YoYo back together with super 
glue. It's not pristine, but you've got a power supply out of what 
would have been landfill food.

If it's the plug on the end of the DC cable, shave the plastic molding 
down with a knife and resolder the wires. Slap it back together with 
heatshrink tubing and silicone rubber.

Re: Fwd: Partition my drive or not...

[Gary D. Adams]

I always partition, too, and there are several reasons. First, to allow 
booting from another partition for diagnostics (of course, if the hd 
physically goes out, that's not worth much). Second, and more 
importantly, because I've always heard that partitioning a large drive 
eliminates wasted space--since the allocation block size is dependent 
upon the size of the volume... larger volumes get larger allocation blocks.

http://www.themacintoshguy.com/MacTips/archive/tip10.shtml

Isn't the situation the same in X?

I always partition my drives because this allows for
My 60GB TiBook drive has 4 partitions, roughly one for  the System, 
one for Applications and stuff, and two for video work (which can then 
be kept defragmented, since I can erase them whenever I need) - for 
some people, this might be used for a large iTunes library, for example.

Keeping most of my applications in a separate partition  has saved me 
huge amounts of time when I recently installed Panther;  moreover, I 
had cloned my Jaguar system to one the video partitions, which allowed 
me a safety net in case something wrong happened (which it didn't). 
With this setup I was able too clean install panther with minimum 
hassle. It would have been a lot more painful if I had a 
nonpartitioned drive.

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement

The first class-action suit I recall against Apple was the over the 
Performa series, which was advertised as PowerPC-upgradeable. Of course, 
the upgrade was to replace the logic board for about $1K. The 
class-action suit brought it down to the $600-$700 range.

And who can forget the Blockbuster class-action suit? Coupons for $1 off 
a rental? The lawyers made millions in legal fees.

I have to agree. In the end, class action suits only hurt both the

others) was offered a whole $1.50. The only winners in these suits are 
the lawyers, always.

I received the full settlement report from the lawyers. As a mac

benefit the law offices that file more than the actually participants 
since they get there cut from the over-all settlement amount, or their

Re: (Why no extended warranty in Florida): Was: I got mine!

I have seen this several times--state law in Florida. The best I can 
find is this from the Miami Herald:

"Companies that sell insurance policies and provide service for 
policyholders, and the agents who represent them, must be licensed to do 
business in the state of Florida. This includes life, health, liability, 
accident and vehicle insurance coverage, plus extended warranties and 
service contracts for vehicles, household systems and appliances."

I looked at the Florida statutes, and they are very complex and 
restrictive. Apple and a lot of other companies just don't want to meet 
the requirements.

Re: Clamshell iBook

[Gary D. Adams]

This iBook does not have a PRAM battery. I think it uses a capacitor 
that's good for a very short times--the time to unscrew the battery and 
replace it--if you're lucky. The big battery is the only battery in it. 
If the main battery is dead, you need to run it with the adapter and get 
another battery--which are scarce as hens' teeth.

Gary


Are you saying you got a Blueberry iBook for $20? The battery is dead. I
don't know the iBook very well but since almost every Apple laptop had had a
backup or PRAM battery, I would think that this iBook had one too. It's
probably a rechargeable one and since the main battery is dead, the backup
battery is dead too. You might be able to get it back to work by keeping the
iBook plugged in for 24 to 48 hours. It might need a fully charged main
battery to do so, though...

Re: OT: Importing audio from VHS to mp3

[Gary D. Adams]

Output via rca cables to stereo in... use something like Sound Studio or 
Amadeus. Sound like this takes huge amounts of hard drive space.

I have a Pismo and would like to convert the audio from some educational

How would I do that? Any info would be most appreciated.

Re: Update Netscape for Pismo?

[Gary D. Adams]

How much RAM do you have installed and set aside for Netscape. I have 7 
on my Pismo with a large amount of RAM. It works fine. I still have 
4.78, but some webstires will not work. Opera is an option, and I'm sure 
fellow listers will chime in on iCab. I like 7.

Re: Error Msg of Inpending Doom?

[Gary D. Adams]

I used to get this message all the time on my iBook in 9.2.1. It doesn't 
happen in X. Resetting PRAM always makes it go away. Running utilities 
(DiskWarrior, etc.) inevitably shows no problems.

Gary

Hi all,

I have a recurring error message. In the last 2 months it has shown 
up 5 times, the shortest span being 11 days apart. Here it is:

"There is a problem with the disk "Macintosh HD". Some information may 
have been lost. Check any recently used files for data loss, and use a 
disk repair program on the disk."

Sounded pretty serious to me..I have OS 9.2.1 on a 400 MHz Pismo 
with 320 RAM. I cannot use my USB mouse but the trackball works. Time 
still runs. Opened note pad, but froze on Simple Text. 
Control/Open-Apple/Power button gets it to restart, but gets to smiling 
Mac and then continuously loops through the restart process until I 
press the reset button on the back. That gets it so I can start up fine, 
just needing to reset Time & Date. I have run Norton Disk Doctor, 
DiskWarrior and Disk First Aid and all checks out fine. Until it happens 
again.

I am anal about backing up (that little USB jump drive is sooo 
cool), and I have just convinced my wife that I need a bigger HD anyway. 
(oops, sorry, I should have mentioned I have 10GB, I believe it's the 
original. I bought this for myself last Christmas...) I'm leaning 
towards the 40GB Travelstar and hope that it will solve the problem and 
be a lot quieter BUT would like to know more about this error and what 
to do to avoid it in the future.

I am using Digest Mode, so will check back to see what info anyone 
has. Been on this list for about 6 months and now can't live without 
it... Feel the same about my Pismo. Now if I can just get up the courage 
for OSX!

Re: Emma's problem...

[Gary D. Adams]

My Pismo had the same problem during a power outage. I was always 
showing 4 lights and then the power went out and the battery was dead. A 
good question to consider is how old is the battery? Three years is 
about max life on those according to Apple. In any case, I bought a new 
BTI battery.

Lewin Edwards wrote:
 
To help narrow down the possible cause, follow these steps:
Shut down the PowerBook. Connect it to AC power overnight and see if the 
battery is charged. If so, your PowerBook should be repaired. If it does 
not charge, try the next step.
Make sure the AC outlet works by plugging another electrical device into 
the AC outlet and turning on the device.
If the outlet is working, try another PowerBook AC adapter, if available.
Download and install the PowerBook Battery Reset version 2.0 from Apple 
Software Downloads.

Re: External drive question

[Gary D. Adams]

If it's drawing too much power, the OS will shut down the port. It's not 
that. PC's tend to use that second USB-DC connector.

I've had three or four external drives like that--all work fine without 
any external power supply.

It's a little odd - it comes with a second USB to concentric DC connector, so one USB cable goes to the USB port on the housing and the power is drawn from a second USB port on the computer. I connected it all up and no go. Now, even with just the power connector, the drive goes 'click click'. I may have killed it.


Hmmm, I wonder if it is trying to draw more power than both USB ports will provide. Try external power and ditch the USB for a FW box.

Re: Battery dead

[Gary D. Adams]

The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Battery Reset got 
the same response, too. I ended up buying two BTI batteries from 
MacConnection (with overnight shipping) for a little less than $300. 
Make sure the batteries at $120 aren't reburbed... but carry the full 
one-year warranty--that's the only caveat I'd offer.

Gary

Laurent Daudelin wrote:
Well, it looks like one of my Pismo battery is dead, or almost dead. I
noticed a few weeks ago that if it would sit on the shelf for a few days,
the next time I would put it in my Pismo, I would get the last LED blinking,
usually indicating that the battery is depleted. Usually, it would recharge
and I would get many 45 min. of juice out of it.
Now, I just put it back in and, sure enough, the last LED is blinking.
However, Mac OS X 10.2.6 says the battery is charged, although the LED is
still blinking. So, it seems it won't recharge anymore. I rebooted in 9 and
try Battery Reset 2.0 from Apple, but it said that I didn't need it on my
PowerBook model.
Any idea on how to reset the battery? If not, I've seen a few places that
are selling BatteryTech replacement for my Pismo around $120. Any gotcha or
recommendation before I take the plunge?
Thanks in advance!

-Laurent.

Re: G3 Series PB (wallstreet) 233 power supply needed

[Gary D. Adams]

Smartdisk.com has refurbed ones in stock fairly cheap.

g


If that's the same one as the Pismo (PB FireWire), they are hard to find 
right now. I needed one because my (2nd) power supply had died recently 
(the one I got after the original Yo-Yo adapter died). Both (IIRC) lasted 
about a year and a half (actually, I think the first one may have gone 
just within my original warranty). This time, I ended up paying more for 
the adapter, about $80 (plus 2nd day shipping), because the places which 
showed lower prices were out of stock.

Please post if you find a supply that has them in stock and at a better 
price.

Thanks,

Jim Rohde

Re: Video not working on Pismo

[Gary D. Adams]

George:

This is just a shot in the dark, no pun intended. I understand your 
stress. Try two things. First, try resetting the Power Manager (Apple's 
directions are as follows:

  1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
  2. Press the reset button on the rear of the computer. The reset
  button is located between the external video and modem (RJ-11) ports.
  3. Wait 5 seconds.
  4. Press the Power button to restart the PowerBook computer.

  I personally like to unplug the A/C and pull the battery, too,
  which is what the iBook requires.

Second: If resetting the Power Manager does not fix it, try zapping the 
PRAM (shut the machine off and restart,  holding down the 
Command-Option-P-R keys).

Re: Catalog B Tree 3 error on CD-RW

[Gary D. Adams]

I've had two friends with the same drive and the same problem with 
Toast. One downloaded Hotburn from Iomega's site and it worked. The 
other had her CDRW replaced by Iomega as defective.

Re: Screen Brightness Pismo

[Gary D. Adams]

 From what I've read backlight replacement on the Pismo is very 
difficult, but I don't think you've got a problem with the backlight. My 
Pismo does the very same thing. I've got the display set to turn off 
when there is no activity.

Re: Upgrading a TiBook

[Gary D. Adams]

Just had a Powerboy (one of two) fail. The problem was the firewire port 
was loose on the board--probably from plugging and unplugging twice a 
day when I take it to work and then back home. CompGeeks regularly 
restocks them; so I'm looking for another one, too. You can pick them up 
other places for $70, but I'd rather pay $40! ;-)

Re: Outdoor screen

[Gary D. Adams]

There are "screens" that you can mount to your laptop--actually 
hoods--that enable you to see clearly. Seems like a pain to me. I've 
tried only once (with a clamshell iBook) to use it in sunlight. Didn't 
work very well.

http://www.pbzone.com/hoodmanreview.shtml

I was looking for info today on backlights (my son's iBook light died) 
and found all kinds of interesting threads on designing something to use 
ambient light through the back of a clear computer lid.

The Lucent SilverLan Turbo cards work fine with Airport Software. I've got one

Re: unable to powerup my Wallstreet!

[Gary D. Adams]

Have you reset the power manager?

PowerBook G3 Series (M4753)
  1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
  2. Simultaneously press Shift-Fn (function)-Ctrl 
(control)-Power.
  3. Wait 5 seconds.
  4. Press the Power button to restart the PowerBook 
computer.

 PowerBook G3 Series (Bronze Keyboard) (M5343)
  1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
  2. Press the reset button on the rear of the computer. 
The reset button is located between the external
  video and modem (RJ-11) ports.
  3. Wait 5 seconds.
  4. Press the Power button to restart the PowerBook 
computer.

 Note: When you reset the power manager, wait at least 5 
seconds before pressing the power button to start up
 the computer. If you do not wait at least 5 seconds, the 
reset procedure may fail. (If you suspect that the reset
 procedure has failed, press the reset button again and wait 5 
seconds before pressing the Power button.)

That you see a "Dot-F" network indicates someone in your proximity has a WiFi
network that is password-protected. You need to go to the Airport SetUp
Utility and allow it to configure itself.

Re: reading SE-30 800K disks on Wallstreet?

[Gary D. Adams]

Andrew:

The problem, if I recall, is not merely a machine-particular
problem--though the newer machines won't read the 800K floppies--it's also a
System-specific problem. I don't recall offhand where the breakdown was, but
I know it was somewhere around 8.6. Your solution is what I do.

Re: G4 For Prismo!!

[Gary D. Adams]

Ah, but why did they go out of business? That's the catch. I don't think they
went out of business because they had an inferior product! I bought numerous
Newertech G3 cards--in fact the only two non-Newer G3 cards I bought were two
close-out MetaBox Joes cards. I have never had one single problem with the
Newer cards---as opposed to some of the other upgrade card makers'
cards--double boot Sonnets, etc.

I'd be more than thrilled to look at an upgrade for my Pismo from Newer.

Re: connecting cable modem

[Gary D. Adams]

Kate:

You should have numbers for a name server address to be input into the
TCP/IP control panel in the area at the bottom where it says "Name Server
addr.". Make sure where it says "Connect via" that you have "Ethernet"
selected as opposed to Apple GV/56. Where it says "Configure" you probably
want to select "DHCP." Also open the Appletalk control panel and make sure
"Ethernet" is selected. Offhand, that's all I could tell you.

Re: Pismo/Lombard etc. SmartdiskVST sale

[Gary D. Adams]

I agree with you, Remy. If they had sold the bare cases, they could habe made a
bundle. Of course, given what the prices were for these before they cleared them
out, they probably DID make a bundle. There are still some available at various
places for list price, which means, "Mucho dinero."

Re: small dog on the ball

[Gary D. Adams]

I appreciate Dawn's response and I appreciate the post on the list. Too many
times things like this happen. Smalldog has always bent over backwards to help me
and I've never had problems -- even with garage sale products. Before Christmas I
had ordered a refurbed LaCie firewire drive from them. It was supposed to arrive
before Christmas but UPS changed the delivery date during the week. I e-mailed
them and e-mail Smalldog. Smalldog e-mailed me back immediately and someone
(Connie?) got on the phone with UPS and had the drive back on the plane and it
was delivered the next day.

Re: my new PowerBook - file transfer detail question (it works!)

Don't know whether this was answered yet or not. Drag the hard drive images

 Have you checked out AP Scanner? It gives you a graph of your signal spectrum. You

Re: VST 250-mb Zips on Sale

[Gary D. Adams]

Nah. I get DealMac's e-mail list every day! My wife thinks I spend all my time in
virtual malls, though!

;-)

Got the 250-mb Expansion Bay today. Works great. I'm going to give it to my
brother for his Lombard and keep the disks for myself, since I paid the same
amount last week for just the bay alone.

Re: orinoco

I've got an Airport Base Station because I wanted the Appletalk feature, but
I've heard good things about SMC—they actually support Macs.

Re: Expansion Bay Device Carry Case?

[Gary D. Adams]

They have cases for them. I did a search for Expansion Bay and found them.
http://store.powerbook1.com/pormedbayacp.html

They're $20. I just keep mine in a separate compartment of my laptop bag. I
have the CD/DVD, Zip 250, and 10 gb hard drive. I think they're fine that way.

Re: Pismo DVD ROM acting up

[Gary D. Adams]

Some of those modules tended to be flaky. Offhand I don't recall what the
specs were on the model, but if you do a search on google, you can surely
find the information, if someone doesn't chime it first. That may be your
problem.

Re: Lucent Turbo Silver LAN PCMCIA Card in PB 3400

[Gary D. Adams]

After messing around with this a week, I finally figured out how to do it.
Since the card was made by Lucent/Orinoco, the same people who make Airport
cards, if you use Tomeviewer and extract the three Airport Extensions (Airport
Driver, Airport PC Card and Airport AP Support) and the Airport and Airport
Admin applications, the machine/System (OS 9.1) thinks the card is an Airport
Card. Drop the extensions on the System folder, restart and then configure
Appletalk and TCP/IP for connecting with Airport. Worked like a charm.

Thanks, Bruce. I could get access to a PC with a PCMCIA slot. That would be no

I installed both, and neither sees the card. I also installed Wi-fi from IOXperts.

Re: System Folder Backup

[Gary D. Adams]

Charlie:

I'm going to fire up my desktop and boot my Pismo from CD and see what I
can do. I guess I've never tried to move System files when booted from a CD.
The very point of what you want to do is share the System files. I'll let you
know what works.

No, Charlie. I think what Jeremy was saying was you look in the Chooser on the
Cube and see your Pismo HD and mount it to your Cube and then transfer the
files.

Re: System Folder Backup

[Gary D. Adams]

I thought of that after I fired that off. I'm not sure. You can try and see.
Failing that (I'm new to PBs, so this is a shot in the dark), if it's
Firewire you can start up in firewire mode and if it's SCSI you could start
up in SCSI mode (of course, you'd have to have the requisite cables).

Start the PB up with a system CD. Then you'll have access to all the items in
