Lombard Pricing

2004-11-09 Thread Michael Richardson
Dear List,
I am trying to list my Lombard on ebay for sell,but
not sure what a good price is. I plan on taking
whatever money I make from the sell of the Lombard,
and applying it to the purchase of a Pismo. These are
the specs...

333mhz
Toshiba 40GB 5400rpm hard drive
320mg ram
OS X 1.5

I am the only owner of this machine (bought new in
'99)
This machine has no problems what so ever and has
served me faithfully in the last five years.

I would appreciate suggestions on a good starting
price or buy it now price. Thanks all

Michael Richardson

Re: CD burner for Pismo bay?

2004-09-11 Thread Michael Richardson

  Hi 
  
  i have a dvd combo drive in my lombard and they
 take the same bay type as
  the pismo. The drive is a Samsung sn-324f/dmb
 january 2004 model it supports
  disc burning in X and toast in 9.2. works fine.
  
  vicki
  
 sorry i forgot to say that i got it on ebay they are
 plentiful on there for
 around £120.  
 
 Hello,
I was wondering if there were any modifications
that needed to be done to get the Samsung drive to
work with your Lombard. Is there any software required
to get this to work? I have a Lombard also and would
like to get an internal combo drive. Thanks 

Mike

Can anyone suggest some software that I can use to
schedule future plans or outline projects that I want
to complete by a certain date. This can probably be
done in ical but I don't think I can run that on os
x.1.5. I am currently searching MacShareware.net.

 The problem here first is how you're going to have
 access to both drives at
 the same time, since you want to transfer from one
 to the other. Do you have
 any USB or FireWire enclosure? Do you have other
 ways to backup your current
 drive so that you can switch the new one and
 restore on it?
 
 -Laurent.
 
 The way I have done such things in the past is to
 hook up an external
 SCSI drive (the only kind I have on hand), boot the
 machine from a
 CD-ROM, copy the internal drive to the external hard
 

I do have a 60gig external usb hard drive. I figured 
i could use it to copy my current hard drive content.

Re: Pismo upgrade

2002-12-18 Thread Michael Richardson


I was wondering if the system bus in the Lombard
would create heat problems with the Powerlogix G4
upgrade. I noticed that some people have the upgrade
done, and have no problems with heat. Then there are
those who have to send there computers back several
times before they get it right. I realize that the
Pismo has a faster system bus and thought that maybe
this would accomodate a G4 upgrade better. Maybe
someone can give me some feedback on this theory.
Thanks.
-Michael Richardson 
 
 I am assuming that the one for the Pismo will not
 work in my Lombard. If
 it does, then I'm in. :)

Serve It Up

2002-11-22 Thread Michael Richardson
Dear List,
  I'm sure alot of you have read the Serve it up
article in the November 2002 ish of MacWorld. They
give step by step instructions to set up a web server
on your mac. The first step involves turning on the 
the php function so that Apache loads the php module
on start up.
  Supposedly, I can go into the Unix text
editor(PICO), press ctrl-W to open the command line,
and then type php. When you hit the return key, the
cursor should land on the line #LoadModule
php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so. Instead of
this, however, I get command php not found.
  Now the article in MacWorld refers us OS X.1 users
to www.macworld.com/2002/11/features/database.html,
which is what I followed.
  Is this function only available to Jag users or can
I do this running OS X.1.5? Maybe it has to do with my
set up? Any suggestions or comments on what I might be
doing wrong are welcome. Thanks

Michael Richardson/RichVisual Communications

 You are confusing Terminal, the unix command line,
 with pico, a program 
 you can run in a Terminal window.
 
 Fire up Terminal. That alone gets you to the command
 prompt.

Re: Pismo CPU ugrade

2002-07-24 Thread Michael Richardson


 Actually, I have been looking at the upgrade market
and I was wondering...
If I still have my 66mhz bus in my lombard, will I
truly get a G4/500 machine if I do the Powerlogix or
Newertech upgrades? Wouldn't the 66mhz bus act as a
bottleneck?
How do they get the computer to process at 500mhz?
MR
--

  There is an upgrade supplied by PowerLogix  a
 G4/500 -
 
 If you have this put in (according to the site there
 is no do it yourself
 option) what happens to your Applecare status if you
 have that? Anybody
 know?

If this is the case, can I upgrade without the

Does this mean that I can exceed my

 Absolutely NOT. For example, I HAD a 256MB DIMM in
 my powerbook. It 
 worked flawlessly with my previous Powerlogix card
 and with the Apple 
 card.
 
 After receiving my replacement Powerlogix card
 (which was bad 
 initially BTW), the 256MB RAM is no longer
 compatible.
 
 So even though it worked fine for 2 cards, all of a
 sudden it's out 
 of spec which is totally @#$#%#@$ if you ask me.
 
 I don't believe it all of a sudden came out of spec.
 
 They were the WORST company I have ever dealt with.

Re: BLUECHIP

So does Newer Tech have a similar G4 board?
My whole motivation is to get the most out of my
Lombard before moving on to the latest and greatest
apple has to offer. The new titanium G4's are really
appealing to me, but if I can make my Lombard
comprable for much less, I think I would like to go
that route, first.

 Well, maybe not the worst :-) Still bad though.

 Maybe so... well, they said they have changed how
 they deal with Powerlogix.
 
 FWIW: Apparently Sonnet is better - they _did_ go
 through a round 
 where they were putting lower clock rate marked
 chips on boards, 
 but apparently this was a manufacturer marking and
 not indicative 
 of the actual rated speed of the chip. whatever
 
 Anyway, Newer Tech is going back online - they had
 some cool products.
 
 Back to Powerlogix. After receiving my modded and
 fixed board, 
 their attitude towards me changed radically. They
 insist that my RAM 
 is out of spec even though it worked with their
 prior board(s) and 
 the Apple Board.
 
 Actually I forgot, it's 3 to one. I had:
 
 Apple Board - RAM works.
 1st Powerlogix board 466 - RAM works.
 2nd Powerlogx Board RAM works.
 Last Powerlogix board - RAM does not work.

ATI RAGE LT PRO

2002-05-30 Thread Michael Richardson

Is it true that there will be no support in OSX
environment for the ATI Rage LT pro video card?
Shouldn't there be some kind of performance upgrade by
Apple to support the people that they so deligently
sold on the great abilities of the RAGE pro.
If it is true that my only option is to change to
thousands of colors, this incenses me.
Can VRAM be configured to perform at a higher capcity?
Is there anyway the card can be replaced? I'm not a
big pc gamer or anything, but I would like to know
that should my fancy turn to a certain area , I am
covered.

Re: Manuals WARNING:o)

2002-05-30 Thread Michael Richardson

Dear Dyna,
I just want to say that I am truly sorry about your
PowerBook experience. I have had my Lombard four years
now and with the exception of having to replace a hard
disk in 2000(a problem I brought on myself), I haven't
had any problems whatsoever. 
 If I felt that apple was just trying to get bucks
out of me with no concern for my well being as a
customer,and no support for the current apple products
I own, I would probably feel the same way you do. As a
matter of fact, I'm waiting to see how they handle
this ati rage video card/OSX issue. It will speak
volumes to me on the kind of company apple is and be a
factor in wether I continue with my apple experience
or not.
 Good luck in the future with your computing
needs, whoever you end up with.

MR

--- Dyna [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
   David, from what I've heard the older PowerBooks
 were quite 
 reliable. However, my Pismo has the feel of a cheap
 toy. It's never 
 been dropped, but the left rear corner of the case
 is cracked and the 
 IR cover has fallen out. The battery keeps falling
 out so I've had to 
 tape it in.
 
   I motorcycle too, but usually not with my
 PowerBook. It's too 
 heavy to carry in my courier bag and takes up way
 too much space. I 
 doubt if it would long survive the vibration of my
 BMWs, never mind 
 the Buell.
 
   I've come to consider the availability of servicing
 
 information damn near a constitutional right.
 Without manuals and 
 such my PowerBook will probably be one failure away
 from the dumpster 
 when the extended warranty expires. Apple will only
 sell you 3 years 
 warranty, which perhaps says something about the
 durability of their 
 hardware. I expect at least 5 years use from
 electronic stuff, and 10 
 years from motor vehicles. The BMW I rode to work
 today is 18 years 
 old, and in that time 2 local dealers have gone out
 of business and 
 the 3rd is useless. Without a manual it would have
 been binned long 
 ago. I also have a Ten-Tec ham radio transceiver
 from the early 1980s 
 that came with a very complete manual. It thusly
 still works fine and 
 will continue to do so for years to come. These
 items are keepers, 
 while the Pismo seems a throwaway toy by comparison.
 
   Apple seems to think they'll force me to lay out a
 couple 
 grand for a new PowerBook every 3 years. I don't
 reward such 
 banditry, and will by my next computer elsewhere. If
 Apple had 
 treated me better I'd buy a new PowerBook every 5
 years- instead 
 their greed has completely lost me as a customer.
 
   peace,
   Dyna
 
 
 
 
 
 This mentality is amazing to me.  Having owned
 HUNDREDS of Powerbooks (I deal
 in them), and having done some rather exotic
 activities with them (ever try a
 motorcycle wreck with a powerbook on your back?), I
 BEG to disagree with you.
   Aside from the Powerbook 5300 series, I've found
 Powerbooks to be more
 reliable than ANY PC laptop I've dealt with.
 
 Yes they are jealous about information--but you
 have to understand that
 information is valuable.  Apple doesn't like little
 guys like me who figure
 out supplier parts, and buy them direct--because
 that's how they protect
 their market. But it's not wrong or illegal, and
 you are promoting
 communistic mentalities to argue that they MUST
 give you the information you
 want just because you want it. Even though I make
 my money from the
 information I can peel from Apple, I totally
 disagree with your philosophy.
 
 Thanks,
 David
