Re: What is a Lombard DVD card?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/17/04 19:03 PM I have a 333 Mhz Lombard and when I recently upgraded the CD-ROM drive to a DVD drive, I found that it actually played DVD movies. Cool! Subsequently, I noticed that in the Apple System Profiler, it states that there is a DVD card present. My question is this: Is this DVD card a part of the motherboard? Or is it a separate component hidden in the bowels of my machine that could conceivably be transferred to another Lombard? Ted reply - Normally a 333 Lombard requires a DVD decoder card that is inserted into the PC Card slot in order for a DVD to play if you have a DVD drive. It might be that you have a 400 Lombard that has a 333 CPU replacing the orignal 400 CPU. The 400 had the decoder hardware on the motherboard. Have you checked the label on the bottom of the case to see which model you have? J -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: want wireless for my Lombard

Re: Can't SwapHardDriveInWallstreet
I'm not sure if this will help or not but have you looked here http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/PB_G3/wallstreet_hard_drive/index.html for info on the Wallstreet hard drive upgrade. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/29/03 19:37 PM I have a Wallstreet. It has a 500mhz upgrade of some kind and 128MRAM. It was working fine with the original Apple brand 2 Gig HD. I tried to install the 6 Gig travelstar that came installed in my TiBook. Both disks have clean installs of OS 9.2. When I started up with the travelstar installed I got the chimes and the first time I got a computer with the ?. Then I tried rebooting with an OS 9.1 CD. It would chime--but the screen remained completely blank. It wouldn't see the CD either--so I couldn't do anything to even look at the HD. I checked to see if the disk was firmly set and so forth. Also, I could hear the disk do its self-check and startup. I removed the Travelstar, put the old disk back in and everything ran fine. (The travelstar runs fine in my external firewire case.) Any Ideas? Would formatting in OSX do this--and if so, why couldn't I boot up from a CD and reformat? -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: MAC BATT Re: Pismo Battery dead
Does Batttery Direct have this as part of their regular services or is it something that this specific store does? Do you have any other information that might be helpful for other Canadians living close to a Battery Direct? I'm thinking about running into their Burnaby store to have this done.

A local battery store here in the sunny Okanagan, Battery Direct, is rebuilding Pismo batteries, at least. $40, with higher performance cells than the original. They're part of a national chain, but I doubt it extends outside of Canada. But I'll bet any battery specialty store would be a good place to check. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
