Re: Wallstreet Battery Charger
Hello Barb. Does the Wallstreet recognise the battery.I had a problem with mine in this way and the battery reset programme from apple put it back on its tracks. This programme is a free download from the Apple site. Good luck.John in UK.

Re: VST Zip MCE CDRW
Hi Listers Just to let you know that both drives are now functioning OK. It has to be conflicts. when I booted and bring up extension manager, I selected OS 9.2.2 base. It continued to boot right on to the desktop with at first the Zip in the RH bay. With media then inserted I was able to view and copy files back and forth. I did the same with the CD - RW and was able to mount a CD onto the desktop. I then decided to try and burn a disk, so after ticking the Toast extension and rebooting I launched Toast (V4). I copied some files into the box then burned the disc all performed OK. Next I removed the battery from the LH bay and inserted the Zip, then rebooted and during the boot up it froze. Rebooted again with base OS 9.2.2 and all was Ok zip worked and CD -RW mounted disks onto the desktop, so one of the conflicts is with Toast. I now have two dedicated sets of extensions to use with the drives and a copy of the base OS to play around with, to perhaps find what else conflicts.

VST Zip MCE CDRW
Hi Listers I have a frustrating problem I am unable to solve. I have a Wallstreet 233 (w /cache) OS 9.2.2. I had supplied with it a floppy which I use in LH bay and the CD rom in the RH side, both of these perform OK.As the floppy has its limitations regarding backup etc I decided to add a Iomega(VST) 100 Mb zip drive. Before I got around to trying to use it an MCE CDRW for the Wallstreet became available for me to buy, so I went for it. So now I have the Zip to go in the LH and the CDRW to go in the RH, correct you may say, unfortunately the Wallstreet does not want to know. With the zip inserted and the WS booted it freezes when the Iomega icon appears during its boot up stage. The only option is to restart and quickly remove the Zip then it boots OK. If I turn off all the Iomega extensions then proceed as above it freezes when trying to launch the Desktop. As for the CDRW no problem there regarding booting to the desktop, but when any media is inserted ie: a programme installation disc, it rotates in to life then stops with out launching the disc Icon on to the desktop. I tried boot from a Norton disc with the Zip in and it boots to the desktop. With media inserted I requested to find missing disc and it did so. Unfortunately this is not possible with the CDRW as you need the drive in order to run the Norton disc. Do I need any new drivers in order to use the drives or are there just conflicts which need to be sorted. If the former a visit to the respective sites should resolve this, if the latter where should I be looking to find the conflicts. Is the zip problem with it being a VST model not Iomega as the internal is an Iomega drive.

Re: Wallstreet and Brother HL-1240 Printer
Hi Listers, My USB issue has been solved. My brother ( a SuSe Linux user ) pointed me in the direction of this site with a log of discussions regarding a USB problem The info on: http://www.macintouch.com/mos9usb.html was very useful. When time permitted me to read it in detail I found out that I was not alone in the problem I was trying to solve. The extensions on: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech/ftp/usb/usbextensions.sit were the answer. I created a folder on two floppies. One to hold the new extensions, the other to copy the old ones into in case of a problem.When this was done the old ones trashes from the computer not the floppies. All I did then was to shutdown and then reboot. When I checked the chooser and the ASP the printer was identified and selected in the chooser. A small email was selected to print and this was done with ease. Hope this helps other listers with the same problem.

I have looked on the Brother Web site for any additional info but could only find an up dated driver so I downloaded this. I tried to load the new driver and also tried to reinstall the driver for card bus support. Unfortunately when I try to install any software a dialog box appears, informing me that no software can be installed whilst br-background is running and to quit this application and retry. As this must refer to the Brother printer I have searched for some time to find what is running this as br_background is an extension. I had no success so I decided to trash every thing that referred to the Brother printer, this went OK until I tried to trash br_backdround. Another box appeared informing me that as other applications were using it it could not be thrown away. So until I resolve this I am unable to make progress in resolving the USB-printer problem or installing any other software at all. So any help is appreciated.

Re: Wallstreet dead? How to resuscitate?
Hi Listers On 12/02/04 16:54, Jack Countryman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've had a bottom of the line G3 series Wallstreet given to me. I helped get it to boot some time back and pulled data off of it...so I know it had a dead pram battery then. I eventually got it to boot then by leaving it plugged in for a while...but this time its sat plugged in for over 24 hours and still nothing. Ideas on ways to get it going since I don't have other batteries for it? Thanks in advance. I had a similar problem. I solved mine by the following with help from the other listers: My W/S would not boot at all with the battery installed AC adaptor connected. This I found was due to a dead battery PRAM battery. If I removed the main battery it would boot with the AC adaptor connected but when the battery was installed the W/S would not recognize it and thus not charge it. I have found out that with a dead battery the PRAM will not charge as the W/S needs a small amount of charge in the main battery in order to charge the PRAM. I then found out that a Apple programme called Battery Reset 2 would rectify a problem of the W/Snot being unable to recognize the battery. I found a copy of this programme by finding in on Version Tracker then installed it. This solved the problem as the battery was now seen by the W/S, charging began and the PRAM also as the date time kept correct each time it was switched off. The W/S would now also boot from the battery without the AC adaptor or with battery left in and adaptor connected. Hope this helps.

Re: PRAM/Backup battery in WallStreet - Battery Reset
Hello Listers, Thank you all for the additional info, I did notice the link to the site for good battery prices and will also try the battery reset programme. I have noticed that the battery is not being seen by the PB. It reports that the LH media bay is empty and there are no leads alight on the side of the battery.This I suspect is because I did not use it over the Christmas / New Year period and beyond.The battery must be flat and thus the Pram also, as without any power in the main battery the Pram discharged as well. As for Jim's problem I am not sure if it relates to the PRAM as the sign normally is that the date has reset to the year 1904.Showing that the PRAM has run out of charge if the PB is keeping time but loosing or gaining seconds this may be another fault. My Wallstreet Date Time function consistently seems to lose about 15-30 seconds as evidenced by the adjustment that occurs almost every time when I tell the control panel to manually set time now. It seems oblivious to the interval between those checks. Also, it may actually be more serious since the CPanel is supposed to auto-check for differences often anyway and I am merely noting what changes the auto function has not fixed. Is this kind of thing clearly indicative of bad PRAM battery? I have not noted other problems other than the usual aggravating random crashes that dog me from time to time.

PRAM battery
Hello Listers, I am new to PowerBooks but not to Macs. I suspect the PRAM battery has failed on my WallStreet 233 mhz revised model with 512k cache. The date keeps on needing to be reset every time I bootup. On my desktop Mac this is normally corrected with a new PRAM battery which I have fitted my self. I have checked in many books to find what a PowerBook PRAM battery looks like and where it is fitted inside but with out any luck. Could someone point me in the direction for this information, and what type of battery and cost could I expect. The desktop version is normally under £10.00 UK and I am able to obtain one at a good electronics shop. Would this apply to the PowerBook version.

Re: Combo drives for WallStreet
Hi Listers A little while ago, see part of previous message below, information was sought for a DVD/CDRW combo drive for a Wallstreet. I know I have seen some mention of a CDRW for this model some years back but I am still searching my archive Magazines for the info. In the mean time a Google search has brought up a Lowendmac archive with some useful info for a DVD ROM/CDRW for this model. 1: www.lowendmac.com/pb2/g3series.shtml 2: www.lowendmac.com/ibook/01/1008.html(hash sign)1 (sorry hash not on keyboard) Will post again when I find the info on CDRW John Abraham.

There seems to be no shortage of such drives for Lombards and Pismos (I'm guessing the similar drive bay design helps), but I haven't had any luck finding one for WallStreet. I don't know of any such drives for WS, though I'd be very glad to hear about 'em if they do exist. I'm not even aware of any CD-R/RW drives actually, let alone combo drives. ** . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: CardBus USB 2
Hello on 23/9/03, Luis Sequeira wrote: Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 16:10:23 +0100 From: Luis Sequeira [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CardBus USB2 Hi Just a quick note to say that I have just bought a Belkin USB 2.0 Cardbus adapter, for which the box has no mention of Mac OS compatibility (and neither has the Belkin site, for that matter). It worked right out of the box on my 15 TiBook, running 10.2.6. (If anyone is wondering why would I want/need usb 2, let me add that it is meant to be used with my wife's wallstreet, which, of course, lacked usb of any sort; so I might as well skip 1.1 and get a usb 2 card for very little more) Luis Sequeira Hi Luis, I looked at this model to use on my Wallstreet as it looked very neat and compact but as it had no listing for Mac OS I opted for the USB 1.1 Belkin model. I would like to know if it is indeed running as a USB 2 as I thought that the Mac OS did not cover USB 2. Could it be that it is just running as a USB 1.1. If you get around to trying it in the Wallstreet just let us know if it indeed runs OK, I just might consider buying one.
