Re: iBook as Desktop
I you're happy with computer power and speed, I'd buy a nice monitor and an external keyboard and mouse. Then when you later upgrade, you'll be good to go with a nice monitor, or perhaps a monitor for spanning.

In setting up another work desk in another room of the house, I could try using the iBook, or I could buy a new iMac. I will be working (or playing) hours at a time, sometimes all day with meal breaks. Principal uses are e-mail, web browsing, word processing, researching CD-ROMs for .pdf pages, and running the genealogy Reunion software. Is anybody here happy with using their iBooks or small screen PowerBooks as desktop machines? Do you hook up an extra keyboard and mouse? Happy with the small screen? Or do you hook up a larger monitor? Elevate the laptop on a stand? Any helpful hints welcome! Oh, has anyone tried using a laptop like this and found it best to move on to a conventional desktop or tower/monitor setup? Al, I saved up my pennies and bought the same iBook you have last October. I have a gigE dual 450 G4 that used to be my main machine, but now this iBook is it. The G4 is still in the same place on my desk but is now acting as a server for the most part. I love the portability of this iBook, I use it everywhere in the house, I even put it on the book holder of my exercise bike and do a little web surfing while riding the bike. I also find it nice to have while waiting for my kids at the different lessons I take them to all week. I love this iBook, it has replaced my desktop 100%. I do like having everything I do on this iBook, I think that is part of the draw, it would be hard to have some things on this and some things on a desktop. I guess it all comes down to personal preference and how you work. Now, you did say you could buy a new iMac and set it up, I have to admit, if I had the cash on hand I might buy a new iMac and replace the old beige G3 we have in our kitchen. :) take care, Kevin Avery I use my G4 iBook as my main computer. I'm a heavy user often on my 'book 10+ hrs a day, but my son brought his new G5 iMac home over winter break. There's no comparison. The iMac is awesome. If I had to choose one it would be the iMac.

Re: USBcam for 10.4/1.5GHz
The icecam doesn't work too bad. If it's like the one I have, it's pretty unwieldy and I end up clamping it to the top of my screen with a big rubber band. It's also manual focus. And it doesn't contain a mic. Since it's USB, I suspect it has considerably fewer frames per second than say the iSight. However, knowing these limitations, it's still not a bad cheap alternative to the iSight. Also, as with many of these cameras, it performs poorly in low light conditions. It helps a lot to have a light facing you.

Re: REPOST: How can I connect Wallstreet II/ OS 9.2.2 to iBook 500/ OS X 10.3.9?
One thing you will need to do on the Wallstreet is make sure that Appletalk is an active extension (or is it a control panel and extension), but anyway you need to make sure that appletalk is set to use ethernet. And then on the OSX machine, go to the networking and for the ethernet port, make sure the appletalk checkbox is checked. Do you need to enable sharing if it's the X machine that's being shared?

Re: How to connect WS II (OS 9.2.2) wirelessly to dial-up using
Yep, that's exactly what I'm saying. When you first set it up, you get a warning saying that using it to bridge between wireless and wired and using it for DHCP may cause problems, but I've never had it cause any problems. One thing you do have to do though if you're using X on the wired machines, is that you need to get ABS Modem Utility: http://www.catsincharge.com/programs/ in order to control the modem from the wired machines. The beta release supports X. But I've been using it for years with no problem. Also, it won't show in versiontracker (I guess since it's beta) under X software.

Re: Apple laserwriter 4/600ps Pismo? or newer powerbook?
The Laserwriter 4/600PS is a network printer, although with a localtalk port, so you need to get a localtalk to ethernet adapter. Then you can connect it to an ethernet switch or even into a wireless base station. Some basestations don't handle appletalk though, so be aware of that issue. You'll need to be sure to activate appletalk in the network panel of your macs to use it though. It'll work great. I use mine all the time. It's a bit slow, but otherwise is a workhorse.

If this printer has an Ethernet port, then you can just put it on your network with an Ethernet switch or hub. But, since I think this model doesn't have any network-port, then you will have to connect it to your Pismo, then use OS X to share this printer over your network. If your Pismo is not running OS X, then you have 2 choices: wait for Tiger on April 29th, buy it and install it on your Pismo, or buy another network-ready printer. Your new computer will only run OS X so if your Pismo is currently any flavor of the old OS 9, you won't be able to share it with your new PowerBook. -Laurent. -- === = Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Wireless Card
I have a Cisco Card in my Wallstreet. I'm running 10.3.x via XPostfacto. Everything has been working great for several months now. I stuck a USB PC card in the extra card slot to see if I could get a USB Webcam to work. Now my wireless card doesn't seem to work. The lights come on, but the card won't show up in the Network Status pane, but it does show up in the Network Port Configurations. When I run the Cisco software, it doesn't show any signal from the base station, although I know it's working, (to be sure, I tried a different base station with the same result), but it won't associate with it. I have two of these cards, and neither will work and I've tried both slots, with the same result. The card's troubleshooting guide says that when the green light flash quickly, which it now does, it it working, but unable to associate. I even tried booting back into 9.2, but the card shows the same thing. I'm fearful I've blown something on the card slot. Any ideas? And if I did blow something, what would have blown?

My experience with Applecare has been good, but there was one incident when they were out of the particular part and it took forever to get it in and get it replaced.

Re: Wallstreet steady green light?
Basically the Power Management Unit (PMU) gets into an incorrect state. It is much like a program crashing and taking the OS with it. In both cases you have to reset to clear it. There is a PMU reset key sequence but I have found it doesn't always work. Disconnecting the AC Adapter and removing the batteries leaves only the PRAM battery. Pushing the power button puts more of a load on the PRAM battery than it can supply (AFAIK there is a protection circuit to avoid damage). This removes all power from the PMU which resets it. -- -- You know when it did it to my Wallstreet, unplugging the AC adapter and removing the battery and pushing the power button wouldn't do it. I'd push the button and the light would go out momentarily, but the instant I let go of it, the light would come back on. The only way I could get it to go off is leave the computer alone (with battery removed and AC unplugged) overnight. John -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

And Apple will provide service from you door (in the way of an overnight shipping box). John Slavin On Oct 5, 2004, at 10:01 PM, Claire Hart wrote: Before I bought my 17 PowerBook, I got on this list and asked questions. I wasn't sure if I wanted a tower or a PB. As the various opinions came in, I began to lean toward a PowerBook, but probably a 15 one. A few more posts here and there, and I went for the 17 instead. I love it. I will admit that it's a little heavy when I put it in my purse; in fact, 1/3 of it sticks out the top. (I've only done that once, and it was because I didn't want to leave it in my car while attending a lengthy meeting.) The thing is, I was replacing my iMac 400DV, and I took that thing on nearly every road trip I made (really). And possibly this PB will have to last as long as the iMac has lasted as my most current Macintosh computer. So I wanted big, and I wanted full-featured. I don't think it's necessary for this discussion to almost turn into an argument. Yes, this PowerBook is not a lightweight, but I don't think others need to refer to it as a boat anchor. What's the point of that? Speaking of boat anchors, my laptop case weighs a ton. But then I have EVERYTHNG in it, including one of those fan things that sits under your laptop (which I rarely use), ALL of the car adaptors, S-video connectors, power cables, and extra long RCA cable to connect to the TV, a couple of MacAddict disks, PrintShop CD, iPod and ALL of its parts, a couple of blank CD-Rs, about a half dozen Mac magazines, and a few manuals (InDesign Classroom in a Book plus one on Final Cut Express are currently in there.) (I feel like I am carrying around a diaper bag for the baby again.) Shaving two inches and a pound off of this baby would probably not make my case weigh much less. Having said that, I love my 17 PowerBook. I love it on road trips, because our movie screen is big enough for several people to see. I can have lots of stuff open and see a corner or edge of everything. It fits stably on my lap with lots of hand-resting room. The speakers right there on either side of the keys are nice - Mail is sent out in stereo from left to right. People look over and say, Nice. When I go back to my iMac, it seems small, like my Centris seemed after I got my iMac. Big or small is relative to your needs. It is not lightweight, but it is just right for me.

Re: Pismo vs ibook?
I'm surprise no one has mentioned screen size. I'm assuming the ibook has a 12 screen and I'm assuming that the pismo has a 14 screen. I can tell you that from first hand experience that for ordinary web browsing, when I'm sitting on the couch at home with our ibook on one table and the old wallstreet on another, I'll grab the wallstreet every time, just for the 14 screen. When you hit those mid 40's the eyes go, and it does make a difference. So whoever first posted this question should consider this as well.

I'm surprised noone mentioned the measly 256k Level 2 Cache that runs at 500Mhz in the iBook and compared that to the 1MB that runs at 250Mhz in the Pismo (implying the 500 model). While slower, the extra 768K makes the Pismo potentially faster. Why don't you guys request a speed test at appropriate sites? Would be interesting.

Re: Pismo vs ibook?
hehe You know it doesn't change. It still comes down to looking at what you need. I would have absolutely agreed with you until January two years ago. Over the course of about a month, my eyes changed. Now my arms are just long enough to get a piece of paper to the point where my eyes can focus. Otherwise I need reading glasses.

Re: Panther on Walstreet 300MHz ???
Larry: First, I'm definitely not an expert on this, but from the pull down menus in XPostFacto, it indicates it installs BootX, extensions and Startup items. You also have some additional options, many of which relate to debugging. Probably for a wallstreet user, the main checkbox to select is the one to use old video drivers. I assume that everything is installed on the hard drive. In both of my cases, I was doing an upgrade from Jaguar and while I was having some initial problems geting the upgrade going, it would start right back into Jaguar. I've installed Panther on my 233 Wallstreet and a Beige G3. In both instances, it was a little quirky getting it to install and I'm not exactly sure what the problem was, but in both cases it eventually installed and hasn't caused a bit of problems since. For example, with the Wallstreet it wouldn't install from OS9, but it did from OSX (You can launch XPostFacto in either 9 or X. In fact, you HAVE TO use X PostFacto to restart in X from 9, you can't use the startup control panel). With the Beige G3, it wouldn't install from either, until when I was running XPostFacto, I noticed that their was a pull down menu for cache and one of the options was to empty Cache. I did that, and then tried to install Panther and the install went just fine. I would certainly encourage you to download the XPostFacto application and launch it and look around at it a bit. If this makes you a little nervous, then quit the application and there is no harm done. It's just an application. Then, if you choose to, you can pay the registration fee which will give you the right to post to their discussion list. Ask questions there, if you're a little gunshy about taking the plunge. If you've got anything important on this machine, then by all means back it up. In my case, both of my machines were machines I had bought and was upgrading. If I had to completely revert back to 10.2.8, it wasn't going to be a big deal. XPostFacto just went beta, so it clearly isn't without bugs, although it has worked just fine.

Re: Taking the plunge
Samantha: You're gonna really like the iBook. It's a wonderful machine. Ram should be the first priority and unless they changed things, it should have only one slot, so you're gonna have to save and buy the big one. Otherwise you'll be taking out one RAM chip when you get a bigger one. AppleCare is really important to, but you have a year. The computer comes with a one year warranty and as long as you buy it before the year is up, you're ok. Timothy is right about third party base station, but Apple just introduced the new airport express, which goes for $125. As I understand it, it pretty much does everything you would want for a small base station, except: 1)limited to 10 connections rather than 50, 2) no modem, so if you have dial up, that's a problem 3) No external antennae option 4)on ethernet jack to connect to a wired lan. But it also has a connection to speaker, so you can connect to you stereo and a usb jack so you can connection to you printer. So if you have a small network, I'd look seriously at these little gagets, if you want to stay with apple.

OT-Burning a DVD for Windows use
Hello all: I have a problem that has left me stumped. My daughter has an IBM Thinkpad issued by her University. She received it when she was a Freshman and will be getting a new one this August when she starts her Junior year. She has quite a bit of music that is on her iTunes for Windows. The university will not transfer files, so it's up to her (me) to help her archive her files, including her music. She has a cd burner on this machine, but not a DVD burner and over 10 GB in music files alone. My thought was to somehow burn these with my iMac's DVD burner. I was able to connect to the iMac with Windows sharing turned on. I was also able to transfer the files. When I started getting ready to burn, I discovered you first have create a disk image file (.dmg), but in looking around on the net, I see that Windows machines have a lot of trouble dealing with .dmg files. Then I happened upon a site that said that the newest version of disk copy allows you to create master which works ok on Windows machines. Clearly when I selected that, a cd-r file was create rather than a .dmg. And it burned just fine on a dvd with disk copy. But even my iMac won't recognize the finished dvd, which makes me wonder if this route works with dvds as opposed to cds. Can anyone help me with this mess?

Re: Advice RE: The Snow ABS
Bob: I use mine every day for a dial up connection at home where high speed is not available. I use the LAN port on the Base Station to connect to a 10bt hub and I connect to the internet via the Base Station's modem, using a Beige G3 running 10.2.8 and a flat screen iMac running 10.3. I wirelessly connect to the base station using an ibook with the standard airport card and a G3 Wallstreet running 10.3.3 using XPostfacto and a Cisco wireless card. Everything works fine. Only one thing you should be aware of, and that is that the Internet Connect software built into OS X will only connect or disconnect the base station's modem from a computer using an airport card. Unless things have changed, there is only one application that will control it from non airport wireless cards or a wired computer and that is ABS Modem Utility, an OS9 application that shows up in version tracker. Fortunately, the author has a beta Carbon version available here: http://www.catsincharge.com/programs/beta/ that works just fine in OSX, up through 10.3.3. It's not posted on the Version Tracker site, however. I just happened to stumble across it when I was looking to see if the author had plans to upgrade it for OS X. I can't see that the Carbon beta release has been updated in quite some time, but I've been using it for 2-3 years with no problems. It sits in my dock and it the way I connect for 3 out of 4 of my computers. (The icon's kinda ugly though because it's a 9 icon, so I got something a little more pleasing from icon factory.) The only problem I have seen is that occasionally good connections are reported in both Internet Connect and the ABS Modem Utility, even though the connection is not good (I can't go anywhere on the net). And I've had to disconnect and reconnect one or more (and sometimes several times) to get a stable connection, whereas if I disconnect my computer and hook my laptop up to the phone line directly, the connection will go through. This is an intermittent problem though and I tend to think that it is my phone line or ISP, not the base station per se. Since the laptop connects fine, I can only guess that the modem in the Base Station somehow requires a little cleaner connection. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this set up (although I wish it were faster).

OT-large format printers
Hello all: I have scanned some very large, very old maps that genealogists are interested in. From time to time people ask if there is some way for me to print them. While this is not something I'd have a lot of use for, I thought that maybe a black and white large format printer might not be too expensive. Can any of you give me a recommendation for an inexpensive black and white large format printer that would be compatible with OS X and would print jpeg images? And I'd also like some idea of a price range. Thanks in advance. Oh, and I'd be printing from my Wallstreet II 233/12 inch, running 10.2.8.

Appletalk question
At my office I have a small network. My secretary has an iMac which is the main location of files. Besides her, there are three other computers that access these files and save and edit files located there. Under her user name, in the public directory, we have a directory for our office. In that directory I have two folders, one with forms (with many subfolders) and one for clients (with many subfolders for each client). The folder for forms is read only and only my secretary can save to it with finalized, perfected forms. I want everyone to have access to save and edit to the client folder. The way it works, however, is that whoever creates the folder is the only one who can access it for anything other than read only. Of course that can be manually changed by going to get info and changing the ownership and permissions for the folder as well as files within the folder. I'd much prefer this to be automatic.

rebuilding batteries

There is, I believe, also an issue with resetting the controller chip inside the battery. Even if you can find the cells they may cost so much as to make it not worth your effort, although that is purely speculation on my part. Indeed. I was able to find relative cheap lithium cells on eBay ($40). I proceeded to rebuild one of my Pismo battery.

strategy for repartitioning drive
I messed up when I first installed OSX, in that I thought both OSX and OS9 had to be in the first 8GB. Now I understand that only OSX needs to be there. My original strategy was to have OSX on a 4GB partition, OS9 on the next 4GB and the rest would be reserved for data. I have come to the realization that 4GB is not really enough for OSX and that allocating around 7.8 or so for OSX would have been better.

Re: strategy for repartitioning drive
That's what I was afraid of. So now I'm wondering how to get all this stuff off my wallstreet. The logical thing would be to create a folder on my ibook and then copy everything via ethernet. Boy is that going to take a while via 10T ethernet or wireless ethernet. Can I copy the startup partition with it running from the same startup partition? Then I'm thinking, how can get all this stuff back on there when the wallstreet will have empty drive. What about using bootcd to create bootable cd before I copy, and include CCC. Can I boot the wallstreet off the cd and use ccc to copy everything back from the ibook to my pristene drive?

Re: AppleCare Question
On Feb 29, 2004, at 5:51 PM, AKR wrote: With desktops, well, there it's a toss-up. In my experience (non Powerbook) Macs either break right away (within the 1 year warrantee), or don't do so for years and years, and things that do break are reasonably cheap to replace (primarily HDD's and optical drives). This is not completely correct. The repairs can be very expensive. I bought Applecare on both of my iMacs. Both required costly repairs just shortly after the end of the standard 1 year warranty. In fact, on the first one - I bought Applecare just days before the end of the 1st year. 2 weeks later, smoke started pouring out the back of the computer and it required several hundred dollars worth of repairs and parts, not to mention labour. The Applecare cost me $149.00 CDN. The repairs/labour were $980.00. I had the same experience with my iMac. It was giving me trouble just before the warranty ran out, so I bought Applecare. It turned out to need a new motherboard. I'm quite certain that paid for Applecare. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Personal LaserWriter LS on WallStreet
Well, it's definitely not postscript. You can look here: http://www.info.apple.com/support/applespec.legacy/laser.html Under the language, it says quickdraw. Compare that to my old 4/600, which notes that it is a postscript printer. And If you look at the ports, while they look the same, as the applespec notes, one is a plain old serial, and the other on the 4/600 is localtalk. Admittedly, an ethernet port would be far superior, but at lest with the 4/600 you can use a cheap ethernet to localtalk bridge and print straight out of OSX. One other thing you said confuses me. You say to use gimp-print, you must had a postscript printer. If you have a postscript printer, OSX should have the drivers anyway, apart from gimp-print. cheers.

The deal-breaker here is that in order to use the old Apple printers, you have to use Gimp-print under OS X, and Gimp only works with Postscript printers. As I said before, I don't know if the LS is Postscript or not, but my 300 isn't. But if anybody knows of another way to do this, I'd love to hear about.

As I recall, you have to be running a windows machine to update the firmware and I think it's solely to add some functionality relating to windows. Take a look at the readme file. Now the driver from cisco is a different matter. There are two versions available, one which they call an interim release for Jaguar which was released last fall, and a more recent version. The recent version has a serious memory problem in that if you leave it running for long periods of time it will gradually use available memory until you restart your machine. You can tell you have the problem if after a day or so, your computer is using the hard drive inordinately. In process viewer I had instances where 50% of the available memory was being using by the Cisco menu utility. I never could get it to work properly, although cisco engineers are aware of the problem. The older driver works just fine with 10.2.4. As I noted in my prior post, however, you still need something to cause the Base Station to dial out (if that's your connection method) and the ABS Modem utility works great. Incidentally, I downloaded the beta version for OSX and it launched just fine. I'm interested in seeing how it works when I get home tonight. Always before, it would launch in classic. Both the classic and OSX versions are really simple little programs. I put a copy in my dock. When I'm ready to connect, I simply click it and tell the base station to connect.

It isn't even an option. The Cisco driver gives you an ethernet connection (of course not the internal ethernet, but on the wireless card) and you certainly can select DHCP.

Re: Aironet wireless dialup
On Thursday, March 13, 2003, at 12:37 PM, Kyle Hansen wrote: Hmmm. That makes sense, but I don't understand where he is having problems connecting. Kyle H. Hansen Well, basically he has two options with a dial up connection: 1) In the airport admin utility under the internet tab, he can set the base station to connect automatically and then set the idle time for it to disconnect. 2)Manually connect and disconnect-remember we're talking the modem in the base station here. I have never like the first alternative. For one thing if you leave things like email application running, they are constantly reconnecting to check mail. And then if you have disconnection time set too short, unless you keep surfing or at least set the mail to keep checking, you'll get booted off. If you have a dedicated phone line, it's not really a problem. But I don't. Which is why I like the ability to make manual connections. Internet Connect will make the manual connection if you're connecting to the base station via an airport card, but it won't if it's some third party wireless card.

Re: PBG3,Charging Problem
This may be a long shot, but my ibook was doing strange things as well, as far a charging the battery is concerned. It times the computer reported it was fully charged; sometimes it would show that it was drained, but then wouldn't charge. It turned out that it was the power adapter. When I borrowed another one and plugged it into my ibook, the machine charged just fine. Applecare replace the power adapter and it was worked fine ever since. So I guess the message is to try the simple things first.

Re: serial printer with Lombard
Yep, the 4/600 is an Appletalk printer. Use one every day. It connects to one of the old Farallon minihubs with the Localtalk bridge, then ethernets to my main hub. Incidentally, one of the lines from my main hub goes to an Airport base station so my Airport laptops, (two of them, an ibook and a Wallstreet with a Cisco 350 wireless card) print right to this printer. As does my flat screen iMac and two 2300 Duos with Newer Ethernet docks which are wired to the hub. All print just fine. No Problems.

Re: Wallstreet s-video port
Thanks for all you help. I figured it out. The problem was with a Recoton switch box I was using. When I hooked up the Wallstreet directly to the tv, the Wallstreet had not problem finding it. And thanks for the hints regarding the iBook. I didn't realized that the little round plug was video too. I thought it was an audio out jack. I have a Canon ZR40 Camcorder and the plug worked just fine (and the signal went through the switch box too). As Luis mentioned, you can't plug it all the way in though. You have to back it out a little to work. I discovered that by accident as in frustration when it didn't work I started to pull the plug out and all of a sudden my desktop appeared on the tv screen.

Cocoa, Stagecast Creator
Hello all: The old Cocoa you're talking about was sold and renamed Stagecast Creator. As others have mentioned, it's totally differerent from the present day Cocoa. It is a simple and easy to use and designed for kids. My daughter has it and likes it a lot. She made several of her own arcade style computer games with it. It's java based and according to the system requirements will run on the MacOS, including X, Windows and Linux. Here's the main page link: http://www.stagecast.com/ Here's what they say about Cocoa: Stagecast's products build upon an Apple Computer technology formerly known as Cocoa, adding a number of valuable enhancements. For more information about Cocoa and its applications, Macintosh users may visit Stagecast's Cocoa Download page or http://www.kidsdomain.com/games/cocoa.html. Note that Apple, having licensed the technology to Stagecast, does not support the former Cocoa. Apple now uses their trademark Cocoa to designate an unrelated technology used by software engineers to develop general applications for Mac OS X. On Tuesday, October 22, 2002, at 11:29 PM, Justin wrote: i found a Family PC magazine, which had a little article about Cocoa, and they were talking about how its a great new programming environment, thats simple enough for kids to learn (it appeared to be a graphical environment?) this magazine was published in 97 iirc os10 wasnt around then, and they were demoing it on whatever the current system was then (this was around the time of clones) it looked pretty interesting...but doesnt appear to have anything to do with unix.

Re: Jaguar mail question
Well, you're right Jeremy. Now here's the strange part. I swear that Applescript icon wasn't in my finder menu. I went to the preferences to see if I could add it. That didn't work. So then I thought that perhaps it was an application and maybe the setting to add the icon was in the application, so I looked in the application folder and found the Script Editor application together with a folder called Script menu.menu The script editor didn't have any settings for adding it, (there are preferences, but it was greyed out), so I tried to open script menu.menu, but there wasn't anything in it, but the description says it's a menuextra plugin. So I think I'll go find the folder called menuextra plugins and put a copy in there. But I can't find it using find. But mysteriously, when I close the window, the script icon is now in my menu bar. WHAT is going on here. Incidentally, the script for removing the outgoing mail servers is in fact there and when I ran it, I could get rid of two servers that I couldn't delete when I launched it from scripts. Weird stuff. I think it would be better though it the access to scripts were in the mail application. It would make more sense that having to go back to the finder. Speaking of menu icons, I also wanted to point out that Jaguar adds another feature I've never seen documented. There is now an icon for PC cards in the menu bar. When you pull it down your inserted cards appear and you can software eject them from there. Up till now, you've only been able to use the hardware buttons. I never could remember which was which and would end up ejecting the wrong card.

Re: Wireless card for wallstreet
One thing, I've noticed MacResQ has been running a special on the cisco cards with version 1 of the base station.

Re: Wireless card for wallstreet
Can't speak for Jaguar, but the cisco 350 cards work super with my wallstreet. I do know that cisco released their own drivers for 10.2, but I haven't had the opportunity to try them yet.

Re: Anyone run(ning) a PB 2400c G3 upgrade?
I'd subscribe to the duo/2400 list for information about that. I'm a duo owner do can't help you much, but there is a lot of discussion about the 2400s there. Here's the subscription link: http://www.themacintoshguy.com/lists/DuoListFAQ.shtml On Wednesday, September 25, 2002, at 12:51 PM, Joel Furtek wrote: Hello all, I just picked up a 2400c at surplus -- another Powerbook discarded as dead, requiring just a little fiddling to make work. Anyway, I know that at one point a few G3 cards were available for this model. It seems like a pretty good form factor, as small as it is, and with Cardbus enabled firewire or wireless networking should be possible. So I was wondering if anyone has run or is running a G3 in a 2400/Comet model. I'll be checking websites, LEM, etc, but thought I'd also ask here. BTW, OT, but I also picked up a Powerbook 150, rated one of the worst ten Macs ever built. ;-) I overpaid at $25. And a 9500 ($35), and a B/W G3 ($180), and a seven apple 17 monitors ($30). I gotta stop going to these auctions. Thanks in advance for any knowledge anyone has. Great list.

OT-new Powerbook recommendation
My sister is thinking about buying a new Powerbook and has her eyes on a Powerbook G4. She's recently retired and is looking at a system for working on photos she accumulated over her lifetime. So, I need recomendations on the following: Powerbook G4-what model and configuration printer-obviously needs to print good photos with long lasting inks scanner (also needs slides capability) digital still camera software for working on photos. Any recomendations other than photoshop which would serve for basic touchups and is reasonably easy to use. Anybody seen any bundles with most of this stuff?

Re: Firewire G3 series Wstreet
There's an interesting card coming on line soon from SmartDisk (formerly VST). Here's the release: http://www.smartdisk.com/Press%20Releases/PCICards.asp No pictures, but it purports to be a 3 port card and powered. I'm wondering if it's going to be like some cards I'm seeing on ebay, eg: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=2051910713 The current offering from vst is what I use in my Wallstreet, so I'm reasonably hopeful that the new one will work fine in my Wallstreet too.

At the bottom there are the two FireWire PCMCIA cards they offer. The IBM one that I got and one by MacAlly. The MacAlly one has a more conventional setup, with a female 6-pin port instead of a male 6-pin connector, but it also costs more. You need to use a FireWire PCMCIA card, like the (now-defunct) FireWire2Go from NewerTech. -Laurent.

expected improvements in Wallstreet from upgrade card
Hello all: I have my little old 233 Wallstreet II. I'm thinking of giving it a good upgrade, upping the memory to 512, replacing the hard drive with a 5400 rpm drive and upgrading the processor to the Sonnet WS G4 500. I run OSX on it now and for what I do (word processing and internet mostly) it's perfectly adequate. I have done some light video editing with iMovie and the most frustrating part is building those damn transitions. They take forever. I just bought a DV camera, so I'm looking at consumer video editing in earnest now. Are any of you using your upgraded wallstreets in this way and if so can you describe your level of satisfaction with the upgrades. I'd also like to hear how much improvement memory and a hard drive improved the experience. Finally, I'd like to know if anyone is using an external firewire drive for video editing and if anyone can speak to the real world difference the oxford 911 chipset makes, I'm all ears. Is there any difference in the dv to hard drive thruput of the plain internal hard drive, expansion bay hard drive, external firewire drive on multiple i/o card, external firewire drive on firewire hub, external firewire drive on daisychain with camera hooked to extra port on drive (And if problems with this arrangment does the oxford chipset help)?

Slightly OT-VST slim drive
I just bought a slim VST red and yellow drive on ebay. (Actually it was a 3 pack) I already have one of these at the office which I use with my Wallstreet there. I'm buying this one for home. The seller says it has a 2 gb drive. I already have an 8gb Travelstar out of my Powerbook which I intend to slap in it. I was curious as to how big of a drive I could put in it. I called VST tech support and the technician said that all he could say was that they came originally with 4200 Travelstar drives up to 30 GB in size and that he would stay close to specs. I'm wondering if 5400 drives will work in these enclosures and why a larger capacity drive wouldn't work. The tech support documentation says that throughput is limited by the drive mechanism, not the firewire bus, so I'm thinking that a faster drive would work just fine. Thoughts? Also, where is everybody getting the best deals on drives now? John Slavin Kirksville, MO [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
