Re: Lombard frying batteries???
Caleb, did you reset the PMU? Resetting the Power Manager PowerBook G3 Series (Bronze Keyboard)computers have a reset button located on the back of the computer behind the I/O door. Press the button once to reset the power manager. The PMU is located (AFAIK) on the main logic board. There is a separate Power Supply Card (separate from the Sound Card which contains the power-in jack), located under the trackpad. I'm not sure exactly how (or if) its failure can lead to the symptoms you've described. *Not not-all-that-helpful advice* Really, the best thing to have in this sort of situation is a second identical complete working PowerBook. It makes things so much easier to have known-good working parts to swap in and out for testing purposes. */Not not-all-that-helpful advice* dan k -- . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: TiBook hinge replacement?
Beverly Woods [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: I've been asked if I would replace the hinges on a 15 TiBook 800 MHz. From what I can see, Apple didn't ever intend the parts to be disassembled that you have to take apart to do this, and it's a tricky job. So I'd like to know whether anyone here has done this, successfully or otherwise; how many hours did it take you? if you broke something, what did you break? and if anyone knows the replacement cost of parts that might get broken doing this, that would be good to know as well (particularly wondering how likely it is that the LCD gets trashed and how much it would be to replace it if it did.) I've got a page on the subject. Though I don't cover everything, I do describe a successful method for opening the glued-together display.: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/tibook_display.html Hinges are sold by several online vendors, as well as on eBay. I'd suggest going for a new pair, it's not worth the aggravation to reopen the bezel if/when the second one breaks. eBay search - powerbook hinge - will find what you seek. Going rate for a new pair is ~US$100 - $130, new and used singles sell from $30 to $60 or so. Alternative is to buy a complete working DVI display, any from 667 to 1GHz will work. I can replace a complete display assembly in roughly 1 hr total, but I expect a first-timer might take several, even with a manual onhand. Even if one fixes the existing broken display, it still makes a lot of sense to remove the complete panel, makes things alot easier to manage. The data cable is very vulnerable to damage, so be super careful whenever you have to fiddle with it. dan k -- . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Bottom case
Wanda K. [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: got the battery out and the bottom off. does the metal bottom take some kind of glue to hold it to the plastic frame. they are loose and that looks like the only way they could be put together to me. Apple originally used a 2-part acrylic adhesive to fasten the plastic parts to the titanium, for which you can get a reasonable replacement from auto parts stores. The stuff I've found has been labeled for plastic repair. It comes as two tubes of liquidy stuff, similar to some epoxies, but if it says 'epoxy' then it's not what you want. The fumes are very nasty, so it's best used in a well ventilated space. I'd avoid epoxies - I've not had reliable results with any (tried many types!), though others apparently have. I have more info on my page about repairing TiBook displays, scroll down to the 'Glue' section: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/tibook_display.html Alternately, when I didn't want to mess with the real-nasty-deal, I've had reasonable success with cyanoacrylate (eg: SuperGlue.)

Re: downloading movies
Dennis Goglin [EMAIL PROTECTED] asked: So I guess my question is two-fold: 1. Is it possible to save/copy a movie from a dvd that I have either rented or borrowed? It's very possible, in several different ways. For example, I use HandBrake to rip to .mp4 files DVDs my 6YO daughter owns so she can have the movie resident on her iMac's HD to play anytime she wishes. That way I'm able to keep expensive and fragile DVDs from otherwise certain destruction. I also use DVDshrink on my PC to make DVD-R copies, again for personal BU of DVDs we own. However I'm not aware of any Mac utility that matches DVDshrink's abilities and convenience. 2.Is doing this illegal? It's always illegal in the good ol' USofA to make any sort of copy of any copy-protected DVD (or anything else copy-protected actually.) The lawbreaking is the part where you have to de-crypt the DVD in order to copy it, bypassing the anti-copying protections. That said, AFAIK the actual copying of owned DVDs' contents for personal use remains legal. That's nice and simple, right? :-P It's never legal to copy a DVD you don't own, however I'm quite sure lots of folks do this with little ethical angst. ;-) dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Battery not charging properly.
Caleb Cupples [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote (among other things): I got three lights and 66% charge, before I got brilliant and decided to reset the thing using the Battery Reset Utility in OS 9. Nothing has happened since. Battery Reset 2.0 rewrites the battery's 'firmware', using one of two different firmwares. Apple's battery firmwares may ,or may not, be compatible with the Newer battery's firmware. I don't know enough about the Newer battery to know whether of not they used their own firmware or one of (or a variant of) Apple's firmware. Heck, I don't know even much about battery firmwares at all, except that firmware files do exist within the Battery Reset application's code (maybe in the BR init too, I haven't messed with that however.) What I'm trying to say I guess is that, yes, you could have messed up the Newer battery with Battery Reset. I'd suggest in the future, if anyone wants to reset a problem non-Apple battery they use the Power Manager reset for their 'Book, and/or the good ol' OF 'reset-nvram/reset-all' combo.

Re: Recommended glue for TiBook

The piece I need to glue is part of the cd slot where it is a lighter gray color than the top or bottom. I don't know if it is plastic, titanium or what. Anyone know the material for the specific area mentioned and what particular glue for it? The palmrest surround is plated and painted plastic, either ABS or polycarbonate, tho I'm inclined to think it's the latter.

Alternatively you could use one of the two-part plastic adhesives (like an epoxy, but I believe they're actually an acrylic), auto parts store is one place that'll have 'em.

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB
Actually, I live on a major roadway and get tons of dust etc in my first floor condo. It's a real pain in the neck.I am finding that I need to clean off my powerboook at least every 2-3 days.

Cleaning wipes for PB
Hi, Just wondering if anybody has used the Allsop Clear View Wipes for cleaning your PB and screen ? Are they okay to use ?

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB
Hi Harry, I was wondering about that too as those Allsop wipes state they have alcohol in them. I went to Best Buy today and unbelievably, the Geek Squad guy told me to go to Canadian Tire and buy degreaser (Liquid Green ?) to clean the screen. I can't imagine how horrible that would be for it. His next option was windex. Fortunately, I know neither of these would be a good choice but worry about other customers who may well do serious damage to their laptops by following his advice. It seems the safest solution is the iKlear stuff as you suggest. Thanks !

Lombard running hot/Pismo also
I had concerns about heat with a Pismo. I solved that problem by raising the Pismo up and also gaining more traction. I found some large rubber bumpers (maybe an inch and a quarter square and half an inch high) - the same ones as used under objects placed on wooden tables - like the little ones used to keep paintings from scratching the wall. I put 11 of them under the Pismo - four in front, four in back and three in the center - roughly following the internal structural supports. The machine doesn't slide an inch (11 bumpers in a small area is a lot of friction), there is plenty of airspace underneath, and I've had them on for three years without replacement. My two sons in Mac-related work wince when they see it - but I think it works. Paul -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

iLife and G3 upgrade for WS
I have an old Wallstreet 233/512 cache. I love it cuz it gives 6 hours of battery life, but it's very slow and too slow for OS X. However I found a fairly inexpensive G3 upgrade (Avanti G3 400MHz) that I would like to install with some more RAM (512MB) and then load OSX. I want to do all this so I can run iLife and after looking at the requirements I need OS 10.3. Will OS 10.3 install on this notebook? Do I need a helper app like Xpost to get it running? I heard 10.3 only installs on USB Macs. If it will not install on this PowerBook then which one will it including iBooks? I know this would be the bare minimum for iLife but that's fine, later on I may get a faster Mac depending on how much I like the applications themselves.

Re: $50 iBooks @ UVA
I think flogging off surplus equipment like this is a terrific idea. If they had auctioned off the lot in bulk, they wouldn't have gotten much more than $50 each anyhow. Better the iBooks stay in the community that originally paid for them. That way the community gets the benefit rather than (usually) a for-profit recycling/refurbing company. Not that I'm against for-profits making a buck, but we _are_ talking about public funds here. (Yeah, I know - some of these iBooks will turn up on eBay and elsewhere - still, I'm sure most will stay with, and be used by, county residents.) Henrico County's implimentation of the sale wasn't the best though. There are plenty of ways to control this sort of thing, too bad they didn't forsee how many buyers would show up. Shame the replacements are Dell . . . hee hee - wanna bet there'll be no similar riot when Henrico County goes to flog off that lot in a couple of years?

Re: $50 iBooks @ UVA
Microsoft didn't have to work too hard. How many people continue to buy junk automobiles that last 2 or 3 years and are worth very little if anything by the time they are paid off. I include most American made cars in that group of junk Same as junk peecees. It's become a throw-away society unfortunately. Most people expect and embrace planned obsolescence in this country. Its not that American cars are junk it's that a lot of people don't know how to take care of them. Change the oil and perform regular maintenance and 200k + miles is not a problem. I've had several American cars last this long, foreign too. Working on 201k on a Toyota and has a Pontiac Bonneville with 214k on it before I traded it. PC's and Macs become obsolete because of advances in technology and software requirements, not because people throw them away. Actually, NBC only reported notebook computers and didn't mention iBooks or Apple at all. Later..Howard CNN's site said the same thing Notebooks. I don't think it would be good for Apple if they used the name. I doubt the reporters even knew what they were selling. A LOT of people don't know what an iBook is, but a lot of people know what a notebook is. Just defending the American public and fighting hate. :: Mindaugas www.mindaugas.us More robots less humans!

Re: Question about a Powerbook G3
Malcolm Cornelius [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: What's the difference between old and new world? quoting from page 76 in Apple's Lombard devnote: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintos h_CPUs-G3/PowerBookG3Series_1999/PowerBookG3Series_1999.pdf [quote] The PowerBook G3 Series 1999 computer is different from previous PowerBook computers in that it has no single, large ROM that contains many components of the Mac OS software, along with the 68K emulator, hardware initialization, and the nanokernel. Instead, a small ROM provides hardware initialization functions and provides a mechanism to load the Mac OS ROM image into RAM. The new software architecture that is centered around ROM-in-RAM and its ramifications is called the NewWorld architecture. [/quote] There's more details in the devnote of course than I quote here. The first gen new world machines included Lombard, the clamshell iBook, the original iMac and the Blue White PowerMac.

VIP!!!! Apple Battery Recall
Morning 'Listas Go to CNN...An article just came up concerning iBook G4 and Powerbook G4 Batteries made by LG...According to the Consumer product Safety Commission Apple has agreed to recall 128,00 of the batteries sold in the US NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Friday that Apple Computer is recalling a rechargeable battery used in its iBook G4 and PowerBook G4 computers, due a risk of overheating and fires. The commission's statement said Apple is recalling about 128,000 of the batteries sold in the United States. It said the computer maker has received six reports worldwide of batteries overheating due to an internal short, including two U.S. reports. The batteries are made by LG Chem Ltd., of South Korea. The batteries are used in the 12-inch iBook G4, the 12-inch PowerBook G4 and the 15-inch PowerBook G4. The recalled batteries include those with model numbers A1061, A1078 and A1079 and serial numbers that begin with HQ441 through HQ507 or 3X446 through 3X510. The model and serial numbers labeled on the bottom of the battery, which can be read when the battery is removed from computers. The agency said consumers should stop using the recalled batteries immediately and plug the computers in with an AC adapter until a replacement battery arrives. Apple will arrange for a free replacement battery. The computer maker's phone number to arrange for a replacement is (800) 275-2273, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. CT. The replacement batteries can also be ordered on its Web site. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

MCE Wallstreet optical EBM
I finally, after a false start or two, got my hands on an MCE Wallstreet optical expansion bay. I ended up with the rarest of the rare, thier CDRW/DVD-ROM combo drive. I immediately took it apart and examined its interface PCB, pics here: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/mce_optical_ebm.html The EBM itself is quite simple, plastic shell for top and bottom, attached together with another plastic cap at the rear. Of course it also has a Wallstreet-specific bezel attached to its Toshiba SD-R2002 mechanism. I'll have some more pics and details up ASAP, just figured I'd post this now in case anyone might be interested. Also . . . the thought has occurred to me there might still be a market for optical EBMs for these older 'Books. Anyone care to comment on the business case for producing a few hundred EBM kits (maybe just EBM shell and IF PCB, sans mechanism) that could be used in both Wallstreet and 3400/Kanga? dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pink screen
Dennis Reeder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a Pismo 500. Everything works just hunk dory. But I occasionally get the 'pink screen'. Starts in the lower left hand corner and in its worse case it stretches up about 2 inches into the screen. Sort of fans out from the corner. Does not matter if the Pismo is running on batteries (a 6600mAh 10.8v Li-Ion) or if it is plugged in. Doesn't matter if its on my desk at home or somewhere else. Does not appear on a fresh start up. Only appears after the Pismo has been awakened from sleep mode. Screen is fine. No missing pixels. I do have a Belkin 54g wireless card inserted into the pc slot. So what's the diagnosis? Will it get worse? Can it be repaired? Expensive? DIY or best left to an Apple tech person? I once read a report of someone's pink screened Lombard being cured with an nvram reset. While it seemed unlikely, ever since then I've been dying to see if there's anything to the idea. Care to give it a try? Use the OpenFirmware nvram reset commands: Startup into OpenFirmware by holding down key combo cmd-opt-O-F right after startup. at prompt type reset-nvram (without quotes of course, and then enter) it'll say OK reset-all (and enter) and it'll restart This will probably have no effect on your screen, but then again . . . ? dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: help me diagnose The Satanic Lombard please
As mentioned, CPU L2 cache failure is apparently common on the Lombard series, and leads to all sorts of odd problems. My question is - has anyone used third party cache control software to disable a faulty cache, and did that work to get rid of the errors? Yes, I know having no L2 cache isn't the hot tip for a speedy 'Book, but the alternative is worse. Also noted, the OP was trying to install an OS from CD, so if the L2 is kaput 3rd party solutions wouldn't work in this case. dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

You'll have to source an original Apple-Matshita face or use the generic face that came with your 'new' drive. On my page on such things: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/ebms.html#pismo If your 'new' drive is an original Apple mechanism, it will have a Master/Slave/CableSelect switch on it, ensure it is set to Master. If it is not an Apple drive it may be pre-set to any of those three. If not hard set as Master you probably won't be able to boot from a CD by holding the C key on startup. However, you should be able to boot from CD by pressing the option key on startup, where (if the CD is in the drive) you can choose from which device to boot. hth, dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Remember it's a PITA to replace the optical, so I'd suggest going for as fast a drive as possible. Since the cost difference between an 8x writer and a 24x writer can be only $10 or $20, it makes little sense to bother with a slower unit. Make sure the drive comes with a faceplate, some don't and it's virtually impossible to source one separately. One other thing. On a clamshell, the drive must set as bus Master to be bootable using the C startup key. Many OEM drives by default are set to Slave.

Re: Pismo HD

Like interface, rpm, thickness, etc. to which Bruce Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] replied: Any 2.5 drive on the market now should work. It has to be 9mm high or less, iirc. I believe. Drive height is limited to 12.5mm, not 9.5mm, which expands the range of possiblities to (just about?) every currently available 2.5 drive. You'll see such terms as ATA5 and ATA6, the Pismo can use them all. The only restriction is that the Pismo's onboard Ultra ATA controller can only see the first 120-something GBs of a drive. Since AFAIK there are no larger drives available yet, that won't be a consideration (yet.) Hmm, I just thought of SATA, are there any such 2.5 mechanisms?

Re: DV editing and dvd burning realistic on a Pismo?
Forget encoding and burning with iDVD on anything G3, even if technically possible it'll be sloow as molassass in the Yukon in January. However, a Pismo is quite capable of capturing and editing DV video using iMovie. If more editing power is needed, FC Express is a mere $300 or so, quite a bargain relative to its high-priced FCPro sibling. I'll suggest encoding and burning DVDs with the ADS Instant DVD USB hardware video capture device and its bundled SW: http://adstech.com/products/macav1750/intro/macav1750intro.asp?pid=MACAV17 50 available here for a mere US$129: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=5448Item=ADSMACAV1750 It does a splendid job of encoding video to the standard DVD codec and does so in real time, with better results than achieved using Apple's codecs as well. It includes a very satisfactory (X only) DVD authoring application, CaptDVD, and it supports both external and internal DVD burners. For me, workflow goes (roughly) like this: DV cam tape (FW DV) - Mac (FW) - capture/edit/print (iMovie, FCE, FCP, etc.) - Mac (FW) - DV cam tape (FW) - DV cam tape (analog) - Instant DVD USB - Mac (USB) - CaptDVD - DVD burner Biggest concern voiced by folks who haven't used it is the worry that USB 1 isn't fast enough to handle video of sufficient quality. I can attest (from personal experience) the resulting quality can easily exceed that produced by an all digital workflow (eg: FCExpress - iDVD), primarily because Apple's built-in codecs aren't very good. You can buy a better codec (product's name escapes me just now) but straight out the box Instant DVD USB does a superior job. hth, dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: TiBook display repair (follow-up)
John C. Swanson [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: The in most laptops inverter is part of the display assembly, and I can't imagine that the TiBook is any different. The inverter will be replaced when you replace the display. Just to nip that incorrect imagining in the bud, the inverter in TiBooks is located in the body of the 'Book, not in the display. The entire display is scant millimeters larger in any direction than the actual LCD, no room in there for an inverter! That being said a CCFL lamp isn't a very expensive part compared to a whole display. Just a much more difficult replacement. _That_ part you got quite right, a TiBook's LCD is a double PITA to replace and their CCFL a triple PITA! :-P dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: TiBook display repair (follow-up)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (gianfranco sciacca) asked: following up my previous posts some weeks ago concerning a TiBook with a dark display (after a bad cleaning action), I have finally got a replacement display assembly. My question I hope some tech on the list could address is: I'd like to test quickly if just replacing the display fixes the problem (the inverter could be fried as well) before taking the machine apart (which I've never done before). Say I connect the data cable to the logic board, the backlight cable directly to the inverter (bypassing the cable extension), do I risk damaging the display or backlight if the inverter is bad? Or is it a test I can carry out with no risk? Well, I can't answer with great authority on this one, I just don't know all the possibilities. However, I can say if it were me I'd just go ahead and plug in the new display and see what happened. Err, but that's me, and I have extra bits with which to play and the thought of killing an otherwise good display doesn't dismay me all that much. That said, I don't think there's much risk in trying it out. I really doubt a bad inverter will kill a known-good CCFL lamp. That's just my best guess though, so don't blame me if you burn down your neighborhood or something! Sorry I can't be more positive about the answer, but this is one of those take-yer-chances sort of deals. However, do tell us (or me anyway, am I the only one interested? :-) the outcome please! dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Replacement DVD Drive for Pismo
I know I could buy her a new DVD drive for the Pismo, either s/hand via eBay or even (at considerable expense...) new. But this is an old machine, and I'm not sure I want to spend too much money keeping it fettled. The other possibility that's occurred to me is to buy an external firewire optical drive. I believe LaCie do one (several?). Has anyone got any experience of running an external firewire DVD drive on an older PB? - Pismo or Lombard via a firewire port in a card? Tom Burke First off you may be able to fix your DVD drive. If the laser reader gets dust on it the drive will run as yours does but won't be able to read the data on the disk. You can try either a CD lens cleaner disk or one of those small cans of compressed air sold for camera lens etc. This has fixed many drives thought dead. I have a Pioneer DVD RW 105(A05) drive which I put in a Firewire case. ADS Pyro brand never had any problem with this combo. It is seen as an Apple Super drive by both my desktop and Pismo machines. With Jaguar I needed some hacks for everything to work. Panther everything works with no hacks on my Apple desktop. Even iDVD and DVD player work fine. best of luck. Will S Check the system profiler and see if it is an LG drive...I had one in this Pismo and one day back in July, it suddenly stopped mounting DVD's but did mount CD's...Called A/C and they tried firmware update etc...no joy there so a kind tech sent me a replacement..also an LG..Now, after playing only about 12 DVD's since mid July, this one is doing the exact same thing...It whirrs and stops ..What a POS!!! I do have an external LaCie burner (Pioneer 106-D) that works great but I need the internal for the Pismo. I will try the air can and see if that works...If I do have to get another drive, Iunderstand that the Matsushita's are much better..However I am leery of trying to tear the case apart to put a new drive inside of the current carrier...If you have any success, please let us know...I will do likewise...

Slightly OT: Classic Help Needed
Morning Lista's Running 10.3.5 on a Pismo 400. For whatever reason, something has happened to Classic. When I try to launch it, it starts up then stops and the message Could not find Launcher appears. It then says something to the effect to find Launcher and to put it in the correct folder..etc. It had been working fine until I installed Onyx and ran that...Wonder if something happened there? At any rate, I forget where to find Launcher and how to reinstall/move it to the correct folder.. I remember copying the Launcher panel several years ago when an A/C tech walked me through it. Anyone have any suggestions,etc? I use Classic to scan with on my Umax 2200 scanner.. Thanks in advance and sorry for what is probably a simple fix...I now return you to your regularly scheduled discussions... Regards, Mike K -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: TiBook 667 ID and wifi reception
gianfranco sciacca wrote: I had asked a similar question some time ago and what I gathered from the replies was that the airport issue was fixed with the 867/1000 Titanium iteration. Maybe also the 800 was mentioned but I think the problem still existed in the 667. MTH [EMAIL PROTECTED] replied: The airport range may have been improved in later models, but it is still crap in all ti-books. You can get acceptable reception by getting a third party wifi card with an external antennae. I was intrigued by this thought, so went down to my basement shop and looked over a pair of TiBooks, a 500 mHz and a 1 gHz (just shells actually) to see if there was any discernable difference between the antenna arraigements. Honestly, I can't see anything that looks to be significant. While the antenna boards are not the same parts, they have the same circuitry (such as it is!) and location, the later boards being slightly smaller than the early ones. Also, there appears to be the same absence of anti-EMI coating under the plastic edge where they reside. I think the main problem with TiBook reception is the antennae location, down low at the sides of the case where it's easy to block them with your hands or other radiation blockers. I have big hands that tend to flop over the side edges, so maybe reception problems are worse for those folks with larger hands, or those who rest their hands over those edges at any rate? OTOH . . . Interestingly, just last night I rebuilt _another_ 667 DVI and it seems to have much better reception than did my old 667 DVI on its built-in antennae. Maybe I'm just dreaming . . . perhaps I better do some scientific tests to see what's up! dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
