Airport Woes

Wi-fi card Initialization Procedure for Airport.
Well, let¹s not jump to conclusions...is this in 9? Orinoco Silvers work across the board, unless broken. If 9, you need to put the card in before power on, then once booted, reset Appletalk control to ³airport card² and TCIP control to ³airport². Close both panels and check ³yes, change² when they ask you. Reboot. Then go to the Airport control strip widget and select your network. Voila. You¹re on. PS, remove Orinoco extension and cp before all this to avoid conflict. If no work in AP, try Orinoco drivers, but if your machine supports ap, it will work with procedure above if card works. on 2/1/06 5:12 PM, G-Books at G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com wrote: Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2006 11:34:22 -0500 Subject: Re: Wi-fi card From: Laurent Daudelin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 01/02/06 10:52, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way to tell if my Lucent Tech Orinoco Silver card is good or not?

Use of Wavelan Bronze Wireless Cards
Use of Wavelan Bronze Wireless Cards I have an odd, somewhat archaic dilemma: I have some G3 and G4 'Books I am selling, and due to the expense of internal airport cards, I am providing a PC Card Wireless adapter in each of the sales. I have a stack of Lucent Wavelan Bronze cards (BroadCom chipsets) as supply. They work fine--at my home network. When I am in OS9, the card reads as an Airport card, when in X it works well with the driver from IOExperts. However, when I take the machine to a couple local WiFi cafes, I get nothing. No joy. Not even an indication of an available network. The cafes are not encrypted--not protected. Any ideas as to the cause and effect of this dilemma?

I saw the new Intel Macs and yawned. Frankly, I don't care. It's just another give Jobs more money scheme. He didn't make enough with the iPods, not enough with the Mini. . . not even enough with the Nano. So, now it's time to up the anti and get Intel in to help. This is a brilliant money move, since now people like me; people who are satisfied with their older machine that runs the newest of the new today, with be forced to upgrade. I don't think I'm going to this time. I spent over $3,000.00 for my Pismo the day it came out. I spent over $5,000.00 for the PowerMac 9500 (may it rest in peace) the day it came out.

Ah, depends on what iteration of X.2.

Re: Any way to import video into a Wall Street Powerbook?
I would just like to say that, while not a very fast machine, the wallstreet is able to do dv video. I never tried under OS X, but on OS 9, with a clean disk partition for video capture on the internal hd, I had good results doing dv video - no noticeable dropped frames, and good quality results. (This was on a 233MHz Wallstreet II, with 320MB of ram and 20GB hard drive, Firewire2Go card). Not nearly as fast as my current 1GHz TiBook, but it did work flawlessly. ymmv Luis Exactly.

Re: Any way to import video into a Wall Street Powerbook?
Of course it depends upon overall format, quality and experience desired, but you can capture on just about anything. A wall street will capture, and it will do so on any of its internal drives. You can capture via PCMCIA USB or FireWire, via 8 pin serial, via SCSI...whatever. As for using Final Cut Pro, You can easily use V.1, probably V.2, Premiere, Movie Works, etc. etc. Be skeptical all you want, but even a 3400c can capture and edit video...heck I do low quality, small frame web stream work on a 1400c via the rare CardCam pc card and 8 pin Serial. To discuss all these variables as if FCP4 and Consumer DV were the bars to judge by is ludicrous, IMHO. None of these are uncompressed highest professional quality, but with the AJA Io Firewire box, it is possible for even a Pismo or Lombard to approach the goal, and here is where you are sort of on, for the capacity still requires access to a spray of extremely high speed arrays. In my opinion, the trick is to figure out what you *can* do with any given machine/software combo and design your work around the aesthetic of the medium. That you we can enjoy the capability of any equipment. on 12/17/03 12:44 AM, Mikael Byström at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Excuse me for being a sceptic, but even if the CPU is 500 mhz in this case, if there are no FireWire drives used, isn't the chance high that the internal drive is too slow to do quality capture, even with a good card? I mean, it has to keep up. Or aren't we implicating DV format video here? If so, what format and objectives are there? If you have replaced the drive with a newer, like a Fujitsu, that can deliver somewhat higher data streams even at 4200 rpms, then it will probably hold up for iMovie DV stuff. I wouldn't count on FCP working very well, at least not in its later incarnations. However, as I understand it video should be on its own disk, which is one reason for adding FW ports. SCSI is too slow on the powerbooks as far as I know. If I'd be doing video on a 500 mhz G3, I'd do it like what I described above and add FW ports witha PCMCIA card, FW external discs and put video on there. If you have other experiences with video on wallstreets I'd be most interested to hear as I have a PDQ, or wallstreet II, myself. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I just purchased a Pismo 500mhz and would like to do some video editing. I would rather be able to capture from my existing camera, which is not digital than buy a new dv version. Are there any Full Screen video capture devices that will input full motion through usb or firewire? Or am I stuck with another $1500 camera purchase? Please help! The quick and dirty (read: cheap) solution to this problem is iRez 's line of CapSure PC cards. They had a CapSure II card planned, which was shown at MacWorld New York last July, but it is apparently gone from their website.

Your best bet is to use something like the ADS Pyro Pro (which will digitize your analog video and import and export in multiple ways) and you could import via firewire PC card (which I think would be fastest way to transfer video to the hard drive). I don't know of any PC card that will import and digitize at the same time. There are some digital video cameras that allow you to run analog video into them and they digitize it for you. Some of those export in USB as well as Firewire. Speaking of which, one of the few capture card I know compatible with OS 9 is the Capsure. It also has RCA and S-Video inputs.

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner Copying Specific Programs Mail Port
Here's a question or two: I have an iBook with hinge/screen problems that will be off to Apple for repair. I set up a Pismo for replacement use while it is gone. I've already set up the 9.2.2 System, Programs and Preferences and on the same volume installed the basics of OS X.2.8. What I am wondering is the following: If I use Carbon Copy Cloner, does the target drive get wiped of all except for what is being copied over? Here is my real dilemma: There are programs on the iBook I want to port to the Pismo, particularly FCPro 3, but also others with settings I don't want to have to recreate. I have FCP 4 that I got for my G4 Dual, and when I got it I gave away my FCP 3 set to a needy friend ACROSS THE COUNTRY. Only too late did I realize FCP 4 will not run a G3 book. How do I copy FCP 3 to my Pismo for temp use, plus other specific programs and OSX pref files such as for MSN Messenger? Another question: I want to make the switch to OSX full time, but how do I transfer my OS9 Outlook Express mail and address book stuff etc. to Mail or Outlook in X?

An upgrade card for your Wallstreet couldn't hurt, and nor would mem upgrades. FCP or FCE, in fact, even iMovie love to have high headroom in the ram department. An iceBook or a Pismo is not a bad way to go, and in some ways better than a TiBook for general use as the early (and thus now low cost) TiBooks have crappy airport reception, flimsy cases and icky hinges. Pismos are sturdy, cool and now cheap to repair as parts have fallen in prices. A G4 upgrade exists as well. And it will float up to a gig in ram. An iBook is also cool. Excellent form factor, nice screen, sturdy, although some folk are experiencing screen connection problems due to weak wire in the hinges. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Apple should have produced their own emulator or taken over the rights to REAL PC and developed it to integrate it with any further issues of the Mac's OS.Similar to the like's of WINE on the LINUX platform. With the rumor that within a few years INTEL will have a cross platform CPU it may mean the potential end for Apple. With a multi-platform PC many times cheaper than a Mac, people will cross over with reluctance in order to keep their costs down (they think). One of the main things going for the Mac is its reliability, as IBM compatible PC's breakdown all to frequently. Over the years the Mac will out last a PC many times but as initial costs are high this will force people to take up the multi-platform if they change their PC's more frequently. Thus it makes sense for APPLE to either reduce the cost of their PC's or increase cross platform compatibility. John Abraham, Tavistock, England (Still a 6200 user + Wallstreet now).

And they chose not to write support for the serial port into the OS. And this was a major issue to a lot of people. Especially those who had big bucks wrapped up in peripherals (laser printers, scanners, cameras, modems) that suddenly wouldn't work anymore. Our only other choice was to trash our serial stuff, buy a USB card and USB peripherals, and hope they had drivers for X. Look how long it took to get scanners that would work under X! I personally have a perfectly good Personal Laserwriter that was only usable on my Beige G3 by going into Classic and printing what I had done in X. Not exactly user friendly. Many of us kept hoping against hope that eventually Apple would do the right thing, and add serial port support into a revision at some point so that we would finally be able to use our investment in peripherals again, but by 10.2, I knew it wasn't going to happen and bought a BW and a cheap USB printer. Still, every time I look at that Laserwriter sitting there collecting dust, I get a frustrated feeling. Yes, I love Apple too, and OS X, and I would never want to have to go back to the PC (Winblows) world I used to live in, but this is one time that I really wish that Apple had done things differently.

Not so. I just went through a situation. Unit stolen in CA checked from Seattle. Really. Can you provide a URL or phone number or other means of accessing such a system? I ask because before posting my earlier respons I double-checked with the local police department and they advised there is no national serial number registration system available to the public. Well aren't you the assiduous devil. Don't ask me, ask Seattle police. And they don't check serial numbers, they check reports of stolen items PLUS ANY DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS. If you marked the serial # down anywhere, they check it against yoru report and items found. That simple. There is a national data base of police reports. that simple.

The giveaway sign seem to be no pictures of the actual powerbook - just pictures from the brochure. I would recommend: 1. contacting the seller and asking for a serial number and recent photos of the item 2. asking if they are prepared to use escrow (even if you don't plan to use it), I have found the fraudsters always find some reason why they cannot accept escrow. 3. suggest you will pay in cash and collect the item (again even if you don't intend to, this will flush out the fraudsters who will immediately say it is not possible. You can do this even if the item is overseas by saying something like I will be in your country on a business trip next week could I drop by and collect it...)

Yes it is false advertising but it is in no way a scam. They say in it that it is for information not a computer. Hell, they show 10 different computers. You think you are getting those computers for $50? Well, then, you fell for it. You will become the laughing stock of the world when you get an envelope in the mail full of papers and not a computer like you thought you were buying. No, I don't think so. You look around at all the ads for current ti and al books and you will see impossible deals, weird requests to contact off ebay and arrange the deal that way, strange foreign sales, etc. Even of late, I was bidding on a 1ghz g4 book which the PDX seller cancelled near close at $990 only to email me and tell me I could have it for $2500. I asked him where he got them, the history of the units, and he obliquly replied from an Apple reseller wherein he woul load them with illegal software and pump the price because of the *free* FCP4 installed. That's a scam, and I run into it all the time. ALL the time. Pismos are another matter, as are earier books. Legit owners are legitimately upgrading. HOWEVER, talk to your police dept. They will tell you that a not insignificant portion of ebay wares are in fact STOLEN. EBAY is the wild west. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Are there any alternatives to Aqua window manager?

For comparison, I have an A300 Acorn Archimedes computer circa 1988, 8Mhz ARM, no fan and no heat sink, upgraded to 2Mb RAM and Risc OS. Its Window Manager is quicker than Aqua on the Pismo.
