RAM compatibility
I just inherited a slot loading iMac 350 MHz that I want to upgrade to Panther. Question is, will the 128 MB DIMM that I took out of my 333 MHz G3 PowerBook work in it. - Jacob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Panther on Lomard
Finally got around to updating my Lombard to Panther. Went through almost the entire installation when suddenly the screen when nuts, went dark with jumping vertical and horizontal lines, never seen that before. When I forced a shut down and restart the computer had a kernel panic immediately. I've attempted three more times with almost the same exact results, (one time the screen just went black). I've already used the discs to install Panther on my iMac, so I'm reasonably sure it's not a bad disc problem. Anybody have ideas or suggestions?

Re: Panther on Lomard
Took what advise there was to take. Zeroing all data took forever but no luck.Took out my top DIMM and that seems to have done the trick, so far. I do think I'm going to miss some of the fantastic, colorful, displays that started to show up on the last few install attempts, they should make a screensaver. Question is, once I'm done with the installation can I just pop the DIMM back in place and go about my business? - Jacob On Wednesday, December 10, 2003, at 01:59 PM, Krevnik wrote: I doubt the RAM is causing a problem at that point in the installation. When it is that late in the install, your RAM for the installer has all been allocated. However, I would disconnect everything, and if needed, remove one of the RAM DIMMs (if you are running 2 256MB DIMMs). This sounds very bizarre, as if something is causing the kernel to go berzerk and write over part of the video driver. I would love to see some of the logs up to this point, but probably not easily done. On Dec 10, 2003, at 9:01 AM, Jacob Saariaho wrote: All of my ram is 3rd party.

Re: Camera Not Connected
This can't be entirely true. I use iMovie 2 on my Lombard 333 (No FireWire) and connect to my Canon DV Cam using a FireWire Card.

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
Look, I really appreciate all the corporate ass kissing and lawyer bashing, but I just wanted to know what exactly is claimed in the lawsuit? That Apple didn't offer support for G3 users? Falsely advertised compatibility for computers that weren't and then didn't offer refunds to customers who complained? It sounds as though a significant number of people are asking for a refund on a product that didn't work with their machines. As much as I like Apple, I don't think they're infallible, and, as much as I distrust lawyers, they are around for a reason and on occasion have been known to do some good. On Tuesday, October 28, 2003, at 04:43 PM, Hamlin Krewson wrote: I have to agree. In the end, class action suits only hurt both the company and the end user.

The only winners in these suits are the lawyers, always. Hamlin I received the full settlement report from the lawyers. As a mac supporter, I threw the hole thing in the trash. Class action suits benefit the law offices that file more than the actually participants since they get there cut from the over-all settlement amount, or their high fees are paid on top of the settlement.

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
I have generally found that most large corp's (despite what your left-wing idiots in CA think) ARE interested in the little guy. I find this entire statement confusing, because (a.) I've never heard anyone claim that large corporations really do have the little guys' best interest at heart, and (b.) I thought any company that could come up with a flower power iMac HAD to be run by left-wing idiots in California. Maybe I was mistaken. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Giving up on Lombard OS X
I installed a TravelStar 30Gig HD and 512MB of Ram in my Lombard and have been running Jaguar exclusively. I love it, but I've always found computer speed to be a somewhat relative matter. What did I expect from a 4 year old computer? And how much money did I spend on the machine. Adding a FireWire card I've attached a DV camera and downloaded footage into iMovie and edited a project with dissolves and fades and exported it to quicktime. Was it fast? Not really, but it didn't take forever either... and I wasn't sure it would be able to do it in the first place. For a $1500 dollars more, could I get a faster machine? duh... but for a cheap portable solution I think it's a fantastic machine for running Jaguar. Jacob P.S. I should mention that I got the computer for free a couple of months ago. If I had spent $2500 on it 4 years ago I probably would have been saving my money towards a new AlBook by now, instead of upgrading this one. But you know what they say about beggars and chosers, and I assume that anyone trying to squeeze more life out of a Lombard knows where they stand.

Lombard Upgrades
Finished my upgrades last night. I got a hand-me-down Lombard from a friend who was replacing it with a 15 TiBook. The screen was shattered and the battery was dead (I tried every fix I could find online and from previous G-Book messages, so I'm pretty sure it's really and truly dead). I grabbed a screen on eBay (absolutely pristine) and bought everything else new from Other World Computing so I could have warranties and some guarantee of quality and replacement. I bought a BTI battery, a 30GB TravelStar Hard Drive, two 256MB RAM upgrades, and a FireWire Card. I downloaded PowerBook Medic's instructional PDF and used it as a guide to all of the repairs. Once the hardware was all in place I installed Jaguar, then I hooked into the internet and installed every recommended upgrade. I ran iTunes and checked out the Music Store. Then I attached my Canon Optura and downloaded 5 minutes of digital video into iMovie, I split the clip, added dissolves and then exported the clip to Quicktime. It's not the fastest computer I've ever used, but for a $600 investment I'm ecstatic. Now for the questions: Someone suggested that I fully charge the battery and then let it fully discharge in order to break it in. I was under the impression that a Lithium Ion battery only had a certain amount of charge/recharge cycles before it would start to wear down. Should I try to keep it at a full charge as much as possible, or should I let it fully discharge on occasion? I've got the original 4GB drive leftover, I've heard you can turn them into pretty effective FireWire portables. Has anyone done this, how does it work? How easy is it to go wireless with this model? Do they make an Airport Card that's compatible? What kind of range can I expect? Every ScreenSaver in Jaguar tops out my VRAM, does anyone know of a any that will run smooth on a Lombard? Has anyone upgraded to PowerLogix BlueChip G4 500 MHz CPU? What kind of performance benefits can be expected from such an upgrade? This email is now three times longer then I would have expected, maybe I should have broken into multiple parts. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard Battery Memory
I was going to upgrade my HD to a 20GB 5400RPM IBM TravelStar but Other World Computing was out of stock. I got impatient and went with with 30GB 4200RPM, was this a mistake? I'm hoping to get my Lombard up to speed to at least work iMovie and maybe Final Cut Pro. I don't expect it to cruise but I don't want it to crawl either.

Re: Lombard Battery Memory
I'm in a similar situation myself, with a Lombard I got as a hand-me-down. I just purchased both the high profile and low profile 256 chips from Otherworld Computing. With 128 MB my Lombard runs Jaguar surprisingly well, but it is slow. I'm also replacing the hard drive with a larger and faster one, apparently Jaguar uses virtual memory automatically so a small slow drive bogs it down considerably. I'm interested to hear what others have to say about your battery issues. My battery is most definitely dead, but I'm also replacing my PRAM battery because my computer doesn't like to keep the date if it's unplugged for too long. Unfortunately, nobody seems to offer a new PRAM battery, so I'm forced to get one on eBay.

Lombard upgrade
I inherited a G3 PowerBook G3 with a cracked screen and a dead battery. I've already replaced the screen with an eBay purchase (good as new) and now am looking to do a series of upgrades. I'm about to place an order for a new battery, more RAM, a 20GB HD, and a firewire card from Otherworld Computing. Before I do I was wondering if anybody had used them and what their experience had been. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
