Re: Wi-fi card
I just tried it in a PB 3500 Kanga (OS9.1) and I've got lights there so I guess it does work. I just can't figure out how to get it to show up on the 2400 in OS 9. Hello All. I have been following this thread for a couple of days, and I am of the opinion that you have not installed all of the Airport software, or some thing that your installed is bad. First off, go to this great site and read how to do a manual install of Airport v1.3.1. Only v1.3.1 will work on the 2400. http://www.alksoft.com/projects/unsupported_airport.html Second, with the software installed, you should have an AirPort selection in both the AppleTalk control panel, and the TCP/IP control panel. If you don't, then something is wrong. Even if you have AppleTalk turned off, set the control panel to the AirPort Card. If your install is successful, then when the card is in, it should pop up on desktop as AirPort PC Card. Make sure that any network you are trying to connect to has encryption turned off. Only use the encryption once you have the hardware working. If at all possible, install a new OS on the laptop with the clean install option. I have seen many problems solved by starting over with a clean install. One other item, I have had some PowerBooks just refuse to work with wireless. The solution for them is the Farallon or Proxim version of the Skyline card for Macintosh. I have never had a PowerBook that this software would not work with. The only down side is that the card only supports 64bit WEP. If you do get it working, please let me know what the final solution is. I hope this info helps.

Re: multimedia on Al Book again

iTunes Wallstreet with OS 9.1
Hello all. I have a problem and would like your help. I am trying to fix up a Wallstreet II, (OS 9.1, 64mb ram, 8gb hard disk) and use I tunes v2.0.4 on it. When I installed it I got an error message that says my hard disk and built in cd ROM drive does not support digital data extraction from internal audio cd's. When I manually import music into my I tunes Library, I get the following message: Your computer does not support digital data extracted from internal audio cd's. Digital data extraction has been disabled. The import button is grayed out. I can add music to my I tunes library if I hook up a portable FireWire cd/r. I assume I should be able to do same, if I hook up a portable SCSI cd/r or cd. Has any one run into to this problem? Is their a way to use the cd module for the Wallstreet with I tunes? I am not looking for the ability to hook up to a iPod, just rip and listen to some music on my laptop while I work. Thanks All Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Upgrade Orinoco OEM card, Was Re: Pismo wireless questions
Would it be possible to use the Airport Base Station to up upgrade a OEM version (Dell, Sony, IBM, ect) of the Orinoco Silver Card? I am assuming that one would need a Snow Base Station. Perhaps using a Graphite would upgrade an OEM card to one that is listed as a Silver card. The Orinoco software will list the card as a Gold/Silver or third party. Any info or links would be helpful. I have both a Graphite and Snow I can use.

Wallstreet wont charge
Hello All. I thought I would pass a long my solution for my Wallstreet II (PDQ) that was not charging the battery. After replacing the charge card, power card and other parts, I found that the RF shield on the right side hinge of the PowerBook was just touching the outer shield of the power plug, when the AC power supply was pluged in. When I removed the AC power supply, the withdraw of the plug would pull the shield back into proper position. The shield is a small piece of copper tape with a glue backing. With age, this glue dried out. Sealing the shield to its support with some contact glue solved the problem, and the PowerBook now charges fine. The moral to this story: Read the repair manual before taking it apart. This symptom and the repair was in the manual. I just did not catch the problem because every time I had the book apart, the shields seemed to be in place. I hope someone can learn from my mistake. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Wallstreet charge problems
I'm reasonably sure that a *brand new* battery should charge in its intended PowerBook without any major glitches in the process. Your new batteries could be bad. Mine were. I went through two brand new batteries that would not charge. From two different vendors. On my Wallstreet, I have had 3 APC batteries, and 2 from PowerGears.com. All since January of this year. I am now waiting for a RMA from PowerGears to replace it with a third. I have not found any supplier with a battery the same quality as the ones Apple made. And as far as I can tell, Apple does not sell batteries for this computer, unless you are in California. Then they have to sell you one per state law. I am hoping that the batteries from APC are better quality than most replacements. So far, this third one is working great. I have been told, (but not tried one), that the Newer Tech line of batteries are of good quality. The best way I have found to test the battery is to use a second Wallstreet, and if one is not available, to use a VST battery charger. The charger does a self test on the battery, and if their is a problem it flashes its red light. I wish VST had released information on what and how it test, but they have not, so all you can go by is the flashing red light. My expierence is that this charger has been a good way to tell if batteries were good or bad. Apple had a utility called battery reset, which you could use under OS8.6 - 9.x, but it has been my expierence that this utility may not work on all third party batteries. The advice others have given about trying the battery before replacing parts in your Wallstreet is correct. If all else fails, purchase a Apple brand battery used off ebay to compare all other to.

Wallstreet Modem Not Recognized
Hello G Books Members. I have some questions. Last week my Wallstreet II would no longer see the internal modem. Cannot select the internal modem with the Modem Control Panel. The Apple System Profile, says no modem installed. I purchased a replacement modem, and installed it. It still wont work. I borrowed a Wallstreet II from a friend, and tested both modems in his laptop. Both work. Well, now I think the problem is in the Logic Board, or what ever part the modem plugs into. Anyone experience this type of problem? If so, how did you fix it? If it is the Logic Board, is it worth replacing, or should I use a PC Card modem? By the way, I am running OS 9.1. The PRAM Battery is dead, so I have to replace that. But I don't think that would cause the problem, would it? All info, appreciated. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Looking for an Airport Card
Great. Tks. I want to experiment. I have a Wallstreet running 10.2.8. I have a hunch that the Belkin card which works in your Aunt's Lombard might work in a Wallstreet. Also I would appreciate what card version (located on the bottom of the card e.g. VER.1101) and driver were used (Airport vX.XX or other). dklj Belkin has changed the chip set in the wireless 802.11g card. The newer card (released about a year ago) does not work with the Airport Software. You need software from Ralink Technology Inc. Ralink Technology has drivers for the PC/PCI/USB wireless adaptors that use their RT2500 Chip Set. Supports OS X. Some PCI/PCMCIA cards that use Ralink Chipset RT2500 are: * Asus WL-107g [RAlink Chipset] Cardbus Card * MSI WIFI 802.11g PCI Ralink chipset MSI [PC54G2] * MSI WIFI 802.11g PCMCIA Ralink chipset MSI [CB54G2] * E-Tech Wireless 54Mbps PCI card Model: WGPI02 RT2500 Chipset * E-Tech Wireless 54 Mbps PCMCIA adapter Model: WGPC02 RT2500 Chipset * ALFA AWPC036 802.11g PC Card Ralink chipsets * A-Link WL54H Chipset: RaLink RT2500 (rev 01) Link to the drivers download page on my Wireless FAQ site.

Re: Wallstreet Orinoco Card wireless
From: Debra Platt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Wallstreet Orinoco Card wireless Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 13:33:46 -0500 I have a Wallstreet running 9.2.2 with an Orinoco Silver card that I am trying to get on a wireless network. I got a Pismo running Panther to work, but I am having no luck trying to figure out the problem. I have a Belkin wireless router with 128 bit encryption selected. It works without any security enabled, but when I enable the 128 and entered the hex keys, it recognizes the network and I get a signal, but I can't connect to the internet. Any ideas? The Orinoco Silver only supports 64 bit WEP. You will have to set your router to 64 bit WEP or upgrade the card. You may also have to put a 0x (that is zero x) in front of the WEP key in the Orinoco Software. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Pismo wireless
Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2005 23:22:48 + From: Bruce Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Pismo wireless Dear Listers Can I tell you a shaggy dog story and then ask for some advice, please? (If not, please just delete this mail!) Got myself a 400MHz Pismo recently. Love it to bits for the look alone but I want to go wireless with it. (I have a wireless router that's accessed by my flatmate's PC and - via ethernet - my G4/400) Fell for an eBay advert for an 802.11g cardbus card that apparently would work with a mac - and won the auction. Here's the rub. The manufacturers say it will work with a mac but only under OSX. OSX is slow enough on a G4/400MHz with 384MB RAM. I hate to think how slow it'll be on a G3/400 with 128MB. (I do have an extra 512MB and a 30GB hard disk arriving soon.) So, do any of the assembled multitude have a clue if the card (Buffalo technology WLI-CB-G54A-3) can be jinxed into working under OS9? Will OSX be as slow as I fear, even with the bigger hard disk and more RAM? Is the delay in going wireless my karma for wanting to go faster than 802.11b? Many thanks Bruce Hi Bruce. As far as I know, the card wont work native with Airport Software under the Classic OS. However it may work with third party software from IOXperts.com or Macsense.com. I am not sure as to weather these third party software vendors support the 802.11g standard with their software for Classic OS. You will have to ask them. You can always get Lucent, Agere, or YDI wireless card and have native Airport Support on the Classic OS. Minimum OS would be 8.6. These cards do not have native support under OSX. See my FAQ page for more info on wireless in the Classic OS. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Wallstreet Battery
A final update regarding my quest for a working battery: APC Returned my phone call, and is sending out a replacement battery. They are paying the shipping cost both ways. APC provided replacement battery 3 days after that phone call. It Charged up the first time I tried it. I am now going to do a calibration and see how much time it will last. Eagle Imports agreed to send replacement battery. Will pick up the original battery that tested dead. Will pay for shipping cost for both batteries. I am waiting on replacement to test. If replacement battery does not work, they have agreed to take it back, pay the freight cost, and not charge a restocking fee. Eagle Imports believes that one or more cells in battery is dead. I Received a pre paid mailer to send defective battery back to Eagle Imports. Replacement battery arrived 4 days after I mailed first one back. After charging and calibration it last about 2 1/2 hours with all energy savings turned off, and playing a QuickTime movie looping continuously. Quite acceptable. I want to note that Eagle Imports honored their terms of sale after I was able to establish communication with them. The communication problems stem from Quest Telephone Co, and a move of their business at the same time I placed the order on their web site. In earlier conversion with Other World Computing about their brand of batteries, they advised me that the charge card in the Wallstreet could be week, ie: not strong enough, to handle the larger capacity batteries. As both batteries have charged up ok, this does not seem to be a problem. Also both batteries test good in the VST external charger. Both batteries are a larger capacity than the Apple origional battery, it seems the VST charger is not calibrated for that, and charges them up to when three of the lights on the fuel gauge are lit. At that point, the VST Charger indicates a full charge by giving a Green Light. Perhaps If I left them in the charger overnight, they will go to full charge. I have not tried that yet. Both charge up fully in the Wallstreet without problem. In the end, it appears I have received 2 bad batteries in my quest for replacements. I now have two good batteries.

Re: Wallstreet Battery
Just an Update regarding my quest for a working battery: It would be helpful to others if those being difficult or providing substandard service or materials are clearly identified. What dealers did you deal with? APC was direct from them. I am waiting for return phone call. APC Returned my phone call, and is sending out a replacement battery. They are paying the shipping cost both ways. The other was from Eagle Imports Intl, 2757 So 300 West Suite # D Salt Lake City, UT 84115. This is the company that has not responded to my repeat phone calls for a RMA. Will let you know how it goes with the charge card company refunding the charge. Eagle Imports returned phone calls after 7 days. Says problems caused by move from Salt Lake City to Logan UT. Says Quest telephone company has messed up their local POTS and 800 service and their voice mail service. Also Quest provides DSL to company and that has been messed up. I was given a direct phone number to the rep I talked to, so to bypass voice mail. Eagle Imports agreed to send replacement battery. Will pick up the original battery that tested dead. Will pay for shipping cost for both batteries. I am waiting on replacement to test. If replacement battery does not work, they have agreed to take it back, pay the freight cost, and not charge a restocking fee. Eagle Imports believes that one or more cells in battery is dead. Contacted Other World Computing about their brand of batteries. They advise the following: The NewerTech batteries are not compatible with VST external charger. The VST charger's overcharge batteries. While my Wallstreet charges the Apple Brand of battery, the charge card could be weak and not work with a battery of larger capacity. Other World says the NewerTech line of battery has a low rate of return, most all problems being with a defective charger in the PowerBook or the use of an external charger. Other World answered emails promptly. Testing to be done: Will take the two problem batteries to user group meeting this thursday. One other member has Wallstreet and I will test batteries in his PowerBook. Will advise what happens. I want to get my Wallstreet working reliably. I will use it in a dirty work enviroment, and don't want to use a new PowerBook in such enviroment. I currently use a PB1400 daily at work, (it has no problems) but I would like to go to a larger screen. Is their any way to test the charge card in the Wallstreet other than replacing it with a new one? By the way. The AC power supply for the Wallstreet is a new one of the YoYo style. No problems with that. Thanks for all the suggestions I have received from you. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Wallstreet Battery.
Can anyone tell me if new batteries are available from Apple for the Wallstreet PowerBook? Can anyone recomend a Apple service dealer in Virginia? I have had bad luck with third party batteries. The one I go in new this week does not charge. Does not charge in a VST charger or the PowerBook. Vendor does not answer phone calls, so I have contacted my Charge Card company. The APC one I got 6 months ago, does not charge in VST Charger or PowerBook. APC does not want to replace it under their one year warranty, as this would be the third one from them.

Re: OT-trouble with webpages loading
Snip I can't even get the contact us page to load to ask PayPal whatssup! If need be can anyone contact me offlist to help me fix this, its probably something wrong with my settings...other websites load just fine. Kristina Hi Kristina, here is some info on why you are having problems. I originally posted this to a yahoo group I belong to. Paypal and its parent eBay upgrade their software (the new eBay 2.0) on or about June 5, 2004. They no longer fully support Mac OS 9 browsers. Their software is designed to work with Windows computers only. They wont admit this, but that is what has happened. Here is what I have found out that does not work with Paypal. iCab, cannot change funding source, it gives you a new page asking to add a new bank account. Unable to complete payments. Cannot send a trouble report by their web based system, buttons dont work when you try to send the report. Prior to this upgrade, iCab worked in all functions. iCab version 2.9.7 2.9.8 IE, pages dont load, buttons dont work, this varies from day to day as Paypal changes the coding on each page. Unable to complete payments. Prior to this upgrade, IE works in all functions. IE version 5.1.7 Opera, will work but I dont like it. Opera v6.0.3 Netscape, have have tried it, seems to work ok, but was advised by Paypal support that it has problems also. Netscape v7.02 In eBay, iCab will lock up computer with large amounts of disk acitivity (memory usage increases about 36mb per each open window or tab) when you have more that 3 tabs open. This expierence was with a PB1400/G3/466 upgrade and OS 8.6 9.1 and a iMac/rev a, with OS8.6 and 256mb ram (with iMac its about 5 tabs open before I get problems). With more than three tabs open, it can take up to 5 minutes of disk acativity to open or close a tab, as the computer starts uning VM. The new Ebay 2.0 also included new and increased advertising for users. When I created filters to cut down on some of the advertisments, ebay started downloading 5k and 10k PDF files which were ads. I deleated the filters and removed the PDF viewer in iCab to stop this.No other web site I have been to has ever done this. Prior to eBay v2.0 upgrade this was not a problem. Its important to note that of all the browsers for the Mac and OS9 or below, only iCab is still being upgraded. A good reason to suport shareware. There are thousands if not millions of Mac users with G3 and G4 machines runing various flavors of OS 9 or below. These users do not want to upgrad to OSX, some cannot upgrade, but their Mac's are fully capable of surfing the web. There is no reason not to suport these users. This is not a problem where your machine is underpowered, this is a coding problem. Please call Paypal customer service line and let them know you want them to suport Mac's PayPal US toll-free at: 1-888-221-1161 or please call 1-402-935-2107. Avrage hold time 30 minutes. If you are going to set up a ebay store, I would talk the some merchants that use PayPal. Here is a link to a PayPal developer fourm. Discussion about the changes in PayPal service that makes browsers unusable. http://www.paypaldev.org/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=29 I would try to use Netscape v7 for your computer and see if it is any better. I use it under OS 8.6. Ken Vann == Old Macs have new uses with WiFi. See my FAQ for what you need at http://home.earthlink.net/~kjvann/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G3 AC adapter replacements
Anyone who still has the small black rectangular power adapter that came with the Wall Street and early Pizmo PowerBooks should go to this web site and get a new one. They may discontinue the program any time now that they are technically not supporting the Wall St. http://depot.info.apple.com/ Victor Hello all. I just returned two of them under this recall. It took about 10 days to receive them. As it was in conjunction with a CPSC agreement, I don't think their will be any problem getting a new adaptor any time soon. The recall covered the Model Number: M4402 adaptor, made by two different vendors. According to this page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=16168 The adaptor was also sold as a compatable replacement for the PowerBook 1400, 3200 and G3. It is also used by the VST Chargers for these models of computers. I don't remember the service part number, but it comes in a padded mail envelope with a new power cord. The adaptor does say Model Number M7332, on it. (If any one can find a article that crossreferences the M7332 with the service number , I would appreciate it.) The only problem I see is if you have more than two adaptors. The site says they will replace any extra that you have purchased, and any that came with a VST charger. But the site only lets you key in two serial numbers and requires a serial number off a G3 Powerbook. If you have the M4402 adaptor, by all means replace it under this recall. While the replacement is not as small as the origional, its much safer. Ken Vann == Old Macs have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Orinoco Gold and TiBook G4
From: Andrew F. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Who is the vendor of the card? If its the Proxim card (or a number of other brands) it may be of a newer type that neither the SourceForge nor the IOExperts drivers support. I bought a Proxim Orinoco Gold and had no luck with either, the card is not built on the older chipset, and is sadly PC-only at present. Andrew Hello everyone. Before you purchase any Orinoco card to use on the Mac, download the Orinoco Selection Guide. Only the 8410-wd and 8410-jp (Orinoco Classic Gold Cards) support the Mac under the Classic OS, and the Sourgeforce driver supports this card under OS X. PC Cards are price sensative and vendors do change chip sets in order to shave pennies from the cost of manfacturing. A good example is Belkin taking the 802.11g card which used the Broadcom Chip set and replacing it with a Ralink Technologh Inc chip set. While there web site still list it a Mac compatabe (using Airport Software under OS X) the new ones comming off the assembly line are not and need aditional software. I will see that this link is put on my Wireless FAQ site. Ken Vann http://www.proxim.com/products/wifi/client/ORiNOCO_Client_Selection_Guide.pdf == Old Macs have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Lombard Recommendations
On: Wed, 8 Dec 2004 Andrew inquired: I just bought a used 333MHz Lombard for my daughter to use, mostly at home, along with a new Orinoco Gold card to access the Airport network. First off, will the Orinoco card (Proxim - brand new) work as an actual airport card, or should I start hunting for drivers? Snip Andrew If you have the new Proxim Classic Gold Card, Model 8410WD then under OS 8.6 to OS 9.2.2 it will work with Airport software. Other Proxim cards that are new production wont work with Airport Software, but may work with some commercial software. Only 802.11b cards will work under the Clasic OS. Older Lucent WaveLan, Lucent Orinoco, Agree Orinoco, and YDL Wireless cards will work with the built in Airport Software under OS 8.6 to 9.2.2. For use on OS X you will need third party software for the Proxim Clasic Gold Card. Commercial or Freeware. Or you can use a 802.11g Apple compatible PC Card from many sources, if you put your PowerBook on OS X. My personal opinion would be to use OS 9.x for a PowerBook for a young child.

Re Wireless Driver
For all you wireless driver needs go to my FAQ page at http://home.earthlink.net/~kjvann/ Your cards work with the Orinoco 7.2 driver under OS 8.6 to 9.2.2 and the SourgeForce driver under OS X. Earler drivers are available if needed. Both drivers are free. Ken Vann Hi All - We ordered two of the Roamabout Wireless cards from Wegener Media and now my wife can't locate the install CD that we used to install the drivers on her PISMO and I'm trying to put a card into a Wallstreet here in my classroom. Of course her Pismo is running OS X and the Wallstreet OS 9 so she can't just copy the driver from her HD and e-mail it to me and they don't seem to be downloadable from Wegener's site. So does anyone have a copy of the OS 9 drivers for this card that they would be willing to e-mail to me sometime very soon? I assure everyone that we have bought and paid for the cards in a legitimate and upfront manner. No doubt she will find the CD as soon as I get the drivers anyway! Thanks in advance for your help.

Explain the 802.11b Card Description
Hello all. I would like to clarify what I said. When I said Marketing fluff, I am referring to the fact that the RoamAbout card was still using a term on the label that they had been using from the beginning of them selling the card. It has been many years since I did any serious work in the electronics field, and things tend to fog up with age. The information that is available on the web about how each OEM implements the features in a wireless pc card is not complete. I do know from Lucent documents that with v6 of the software for Macintosh, the cards with the correct Firmware are WiFi Certified 802.11b. The tech document is dated March 2000. So there is good posibility that the cards offered for sale now, are of the WiFi Certified type. Quoting from the Lucent Document Added WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) functionality. This requires a firmware level 6.04 in the PC cards. WiFi functionality ensures interoperability with other 802.11B high rate products. The key word is interoperability. I take this to mean backwards compatable. My RoamAbout card has the WiFi certification logo on the front of the card along with the notation of DS High Rate. Every card I have except the Dell TrueMobile 1150 and the YDI Wireless has the WiFi Certification logo. They all work with the Orinoco drivers under OS 9.x.x. and all connect to the Base Station I have. I think that if you buy the card from the vendor of you choice and it does not work as advertised, they have an obligation to make it good. My RoamAbout works fine at home with my Base Station, but just to make sure, I will take it to the local restruant that offers free WiFi and see. Just as a thought, prehaps I will take apart my Base Station and check the Firmware in the card that is in it. Wonder what I will find?? I have a Graphite BS and I know it has the Lucent Orinoco Silver card in it. I might even put in a third party Silver card and see if the Airport software will upgrad the Firmware or toast the Base Station. Ken Vann -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wireless Drivers For OS 9 OS X
Hi John. I beleave that is a Dell 1100 series card. I have one comming off ebay and will be testing it with the Cisco drivers. I wonder if I can update the Firmware to the latest version? Did not see any firmware updates on the Dell site. The best way to tell if its is a rebranded card is to check the FCC ID Number. Of course, if it says Air-PCM-xxx on the back label it is a Cisco. Both of the 340 series and 350 series were made without and with WEP. I got a 340 new in box last week,(Air-PCM-341 with 64WEP) Firmware way out of date. But all updates were on the Cisco web site. There software is not as user frendly as, say the Skyline, but it sure works. Great tools for testing the card too. Will let you know if it works, if you want. If you get a Cisco card or rebranded version, try to get the 350 series (Air-PCM-352) That will have the higher output (20dBm) and WEP 128. Best Regards Ken Vann Ken: You might take a look at the Dell Truemobile cards. There is a particular one, I forget which, that is a rebadge cisco card.

Re: Explain the 802.11b Card Description

Re: Wireless Drivers For OS 9 OS X
Hi John. Well I got the Dell TruMobile 1100 Series in tonight. The back of the card was marked Cisco Systems, AIR-PCM340, then in small print AIR-PCM342. This one supports WEP 64/128. Was New In Box. It is a direct copy of the Cisco 340 I got last week. Came with firmware v3.93. I upgraded it to v5.30.17 and it took off like a champ. Good contact with the Airport Base Station I have. In the Cisco Control Panel, the only difference I could see is the product name listed in the Advanced Configurations selection,in the Status pannel. The Cisco AIR-PCM341 list its Product Name as 340 series The Dell 1100, AIR-PCM342 list its Product Name as PC4800B Other than that, the cards work identical. Test with OS 9.2.1 on a Wallstreet II (PDQ). If you want to get one, check with the seller for the small print on the back of the card. Make sure your get the 342 or 352 version. The last digit on the number indicates WEP, with a 0 being No WEP 1 being 64 WEP 2 being 128 WEP The 340 Series is rated at the same transmit power level as the Orinoco cards (15dBm), while the 350 Series has a more powerful transmiter (20dBm). By the way, the FCC ID # on both cards is LDK102038, so if you find another card with this ID #, then it's a OEM of the Cisco card and should work on a Macintosh. Well, I guess I will go to the local user group Thrusday and show them a Dell Wireless card in a Apple PowerBook. Hope this information helps.

Re: looking before leaping
The only option of the iBook is the regular Apple AirPort card. The next problem you might face is the lack of a driver for such a card. I don't know if there is any driver available either for 9 or X. That might be your biggest problem. -Laurent. Airport software will run on the iBook if it has the built in Airport slot. OS 8.6 and above. Airport Software Compatibility: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75422 For a iMac, or other computer which does not have a PC Card slot or Airport slot, Macwireless has a USB adaptor with software for OS 9-OSX http://www.macwireless.com And as always, go to Derek Miller's great site to see how to install wireless on older PowerBook computers: http://www.penmachine.com/techie/airport1400.html Ken Vann The only option of the iBook is the regular Apple AirPort card.

Wireless PC Card Compatability List
Hello All, I have a request. Listers who have Powerbook's which were not made for Apple's built in Airport card, how about sending me information on the wireless PC card you use. I want to build a list of cards that are copies or clones of the Lucent/Agree/Orinoco/Proxim cards that will work in older Mac's. I want to be able to identify compatability by FCC ID number, and eliminate guesswork when trying to purchase a new or used card. If someone knows of such a list, or already has one, please point me to it. Please follow the format of the Diamond card I listed below. Be sure to include the FCC ID # off the card and what software you use (OS and software to control the card). With the FCC ID #, I can look up the card manufacturer and fill in missing information. FCC id look up page: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ It's possible that cards with different names, sold in different markets, or private branded cards, will have the same FCC ID # and thus be supported by the Airport or Orinoco software. Please send all PC card information to me direct. In about 30-60 days I hope to have a list of compatible cards for use on older Macs. PC Card Information Example: Card Name: Diamond Card Web site: www.ydi.com Vendor: YDI Wireless Vendor Address: 8000 Lee Highway, Falls Church VA 22024 Vendor Phone: 703-205-0600 Vendor Part #: 012606/B FCC ID #NM5-A2400S Description: 16-Bit (PCMCIA), 128 Encryption, Rom#8.52 Compatible Drivers Under OS 8.x - 9.x: Yes, Orinoco Compatible With Airport Drivers under OS 9.x: Yes, (Tested 2.0.2 2.0.4) Compatible Drivers under OSX: Not Known Compatible With Airport Drivers Under OSX: Not Known Thanks to all.

Re: Wall Street, wi-fi, and OS 9.1
Hello All. I have some questions too. What is the last version of Airport Software that works under OS 9.1-9.2.2? Can the Wallstreet support more that one type of wireless software at the same time? I am referring to perhaps the Skyline and a Airport software, or Airport and Orinoco software. Do you just change the stetting in the AppleTalk Control Panel and change cards? Are current production Airport Base Stations suitable for use on a network that only has Macs running OS 9.1 or earlier? Are their third party routers that have both ethernet connection, modem and which will pass AppleTalk packets? I have a friend who was advised to purchase a Orinoco Gold card (by CDW) for her Wallstreet. I have been able to get it working but the software is confusing for her. I advised her to try one of the Skyline cards, but she has already spent $100 on this card. I would like to install the Airport software and let her try it with out removing the Ornioco software. She has tried the Skyline software on my PB, and likes it's simple interface, but we are back to the money she has already spent. She has cable, uses a Belkin router, and can connect to the other computers on the wired ethernet side of router by just going to the Chooser/AppleShare and pick the name of the other machine. With her Wallstreet, she does the same thing, but has to put in the IP address of the computers on the wired side of the router to connect. No problem connecting to internet from any of her 4 computers. I have put a alias on the Wallstreet of each hard disk she wants to connect to, and this seems to solve the problem, but I was wondering if I configured the Belkin router wrong? This was the first time I ever configured one. My previous experience is putting wireless on old PowerBook computers for use at a Mac User Group hot spot. ( I helped a retired gentlemen set up a PB1400/117 OS 7.6 to surf on my Skyline card I loaned him). Thank you. Ken Vann -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Wallstreet Questions
Hello all. I am working to get my new used Wallstreet II into shape. I would like to thank all that answered my other questions. Got a new one for you. Can you recommend any brand (or company) for main battery? I tried some from EBC Battery company in FL for a PB 1400 and they did not last a year. The most I common have found seems to be from two mfg, BTI and something called Hi Power. Doing a Google search shows that the same part numbers sell for any where between $82.00 and $189.00. Both appeare to be made in China. I would be intrested in comments as to should I try to purachase a new Apple brand battery, if its still available as a service part. I dont need the 4 lights on the side, do I?? The other battery I have found is from OtherWorld computing. They have a high power battery at 4500wh for $140. Comments?? Would it be posable to rebuild the existing battery? I have seen your comments about doing a reset in open firmware, but how would you do this under OS9? Thanks for all your help.
