Re: RAM DDR2 v DDR PC 333
In the beginning DDR2 was not any faster than regular DDR. With improved memory controllers, latency and the like DDR2 has caught up and now exceeds the performance found in DDR in select systems. Mostly Pentium 4 systems with socket 775. DDR2 does provide more bandwidth from the CPU to the memory which is important. I am not sure how Apple has taken advantage of this, but knowing them they did it in a good way. Not only that DDR2 is going to be around longer than DDR. One other note is that you are going from DDR333 to DDR2 533. Meaning the bus speed is going to be that much faster. ie the difference between a G3 on a 66MHz bus and 100MHz bus. I would agree with your tech that it is faster. Save our LAN! www.coloradogameralliance.com Greetings I bought a refurb 17 inch PowerBook Big AL from Apple and was going to max out the ram. The sales guy at Apple said the PB was from 3the newest release, well somewhere there was an error. So it is the model previous to the newest generation of the AL 17 PowerBook A ram salesman, with a well known company and the place I buy all my ram said; that the DDR 2 ram used on the newer models is like 30% faster then the ram on the previous model of the AL 17 PowerBook. It seems a little bit of a leap, but 30% and the 13% that is built into the latest generation would add up to a better machine and worth giving the $400 savings up in the refurb price and just get new one. So the New AL PB 17 takes DDR 2 533- 4200 PC 2-4200 I The previous generation of AL 17 Powerbooks just until a few months ago took DDR PC 333 So is the DDR2 really 20 to 30% faster DDR PC3 333 TIA Geoffrey -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

G4 iBook HD Problem
Hi Listers, I have enjoyed lurking for the past few weeks and following the informed discussion that goes on here. I have a problem with my G4 iBook that I haven't seen discussed yet. This October the hard-drive started to make a sound that makes me think that the head has gone into an endless loop because it can't find a sector. The drive just makes this non-ending swoop, swoop, swoop sound and the machine freezes. The drive has always been loud, and it makes this sound whenever it is active, but it usually only persists for a few seconds. When the hard-drive makes this continuous seek sound, all I can do is shut down the computer and wait for a while before rebooting. This happens every time I use the computer now. Sometimes it takes hours before this situation develops, other times just minutes. The drive is the original 30 GB (Apple's measurements, really 28 MB) Toshiba. It is a SMART drive and does not report any problems. I first suspected that the problem was overheating, but the temperature monitor software (by Marcel Bresink) that I installed shows that the hard-drive would stop responding at temperatures anywhere between 33 and 54 degrees Celsius, so I assume that it's not temperature related. The only other thing that I can think of that might have something to do with the problem is that in October I started using a Hawking USB wireless dongle so I could surf the Internet from the couch. Until then the computer had always been plugged into the wall (and ethernet to the Internet) when being used. My question: does anyone know what is going on? And, if the hard drive needs replacing, is it difficult to open the machine to do the replacement? (I have replaced drives in two previous G3 iBooks when they died-much different deaths, just giving up the ghost in typical hard-drive death scenarios.) Specifications of the computer: 12 G4 iBook (from January 2004, I think) OS: 10.3.9 CPU: 800 MHz L2 Cache: 256 MB Bus: 133 MHz Boot ROM: 4.7.7f0 640 MB DDR SDRAM Hard-drive: ATA Toshiba MK3021GAS 27.94 GB Journaled HFS+ Thank you very much for any help and comments.

Re: G4 iBook HD Problem
Thanks for this, Bruce: Back up your data; what it sounds like is the drive is going into thermal recalibration endlessly, meaning it's on the verge of failing. Having to wait a couple hours for it to cool off to work is the key symptom. I have one new thought. Occassionally the Temperature Monitor software reports that there's no hard-drive sensor. Since the HD endless spin behaviour happens at various temperatures, could it be just a loose connection? Since you've done this before, I'd say go ahead and replace the drive. PB repairs I can honestly recommend to anyone with reasonable physical dexterity and attention to detail; iBook repairs I'd only recommend to people with *proven* physical dexterity, *excellent* attention to detail, and a lot of confidence in your abilities. I'd agree that the iBooks are a horror to work on, especially compared to the simple and beautifully designed PowerBook 100 that I need to open occassionally to coax back to life. I'd have to disagree about the other (very positive, mind you) comments and say that in my case, iBook HD replacement is a matter of good screw drivers and a very detailed list of steps taken and parts removed. Regardless of what is the outcome of this, I know what I'm doing over the holidays. Any recommendations for a 60 - 100 GB drive for the beast? Thanks, again.

WSII won't see RAM in top slot
Well, it does actually see the RAM because it boots to OS X, but here's the weird thing. Everything is fine and I see the apple and the spinning lines, then the screen goes really dark, like the backlight shuts off. I can barely see what's on it. If I try and login it throws back an error saying it can't proceed and goes tot he login screen. If I let it sit long enough the screen eventually brightens again. The screen darkens whether the RAM is in the top or bottom slot. If the RAM is in the bottom slot it does login fine. I have tried resetting the pram. I have tried a DIMM I know is working on the top slot. I was able to boot, but it only sees the memory in the bottom slot, well, it says it has 128MB's. I have 10.2.8 and system profiler doesn't show the RAM slots. I've tried with 1 128MB, 2 128MB's, a 128 and a 64MB. I have a 300MHz G3 67MHz bus with 1MB cache. It does read that correctly.

Re: DHCP problems
I had that happen to the router/firewall we use on our home network - before I did anything, I called tech support who confirmed what I wanted to do: held in the reset button for about 30 sec. to reset the router. Since the login/password info our DSL service needed was in NVRAM, that wasn't affected, but it did reset the router to start it's address sequences over again. From what tech told me, it's something we'll need to do about every 2 years or so. :) Later..Howard sorry, I haven't been following the entire thread.

OS X cd jut spins
Just tried installing OS 10.2 on my old WSII. It boots, restarts, then boots off the CD. When the CD pops up the little broken circle at the bottom just spins, like a broken beach ball. It never stops spinning either, os it never locks up, but I can't hear the CD-ROM doing anything. Making it's little whirls and woozles as it usually does when loading off the CD. I'm not sure if anyone has ran into this before. Any ideas? Reset pram maybe? An additional question also, is it possible to force Outlook Express to include my sig every time I make an email.

Re: OS X cd jut spins
How long have you let it run? I did experience this a few times. It seems that the CDs are not always burned optimally resulting in a lot of whirling and shuffling back and forth as if the drive has to go to various places on the CD to find what it's looking for. I remember taking 30 to 40 seconds before something would finally load. So, if you didn't wait that long, you might want to try again. Otherwise, you might want to check if you can boot another Mac from that CD, just in case... -Laurent. 30-40 seconds would be grand, I let mine sit there for over 5 minutes.

How long have you let it run? I did experience this a few times. It seems that the CDs are not always burned optimally resulting in a lot of whirling and shuffling back and forth as if the drive has to go to various places on the CD to find what it's looking for. I remember taking 30 to 40 seconds before something would finally load. So, if you didn't wait that long, you might want to try again. Otherwise, you might want to check if you can boot another Mac from that CD, just in case... -Laurent. 30-40 seconds would be grand, I let mine sit there for over 5 minutes.

Spinning OS X saga continues

Re: Spinning OS X saga continues
Faster machine with more RAM??? ;) Steve What? But I made this one myself ... :( Maybe painting it orange will help. New problem now. The install ran through, it rebooted, now it blinks the question'd mark folder and the hard drive spins up and down about 10 times then it shuts off. Or it will bott off CD if I leave the disk in there. I bet the next step is the LCD spinning around 360 degrees and spewing of screws. -Mike -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The nice thing is I don't have to pay shipping. The battery is messed up and I have to test the CD-ROM drive. It has a powersupply, clear display and is in good overall condition. Anything I should watch out for? I am not worried about the 233 Cachelss, people are selling 250 G3 and 290 G3 upgrades on e-bay very reasonably. any expericne running Mac OS X on this item etc, etc, etc If you guys give it the thumbs down I'm not going to buy it. Thank You Brian I am typing this on a 233MHz/512KB cache model with a 14'' screen. I am pretty sure that the 14'' models did not come on the 233MHz cacheless. I'm not sure because I built mine from a box of parts and I only had the one WSII CPU to use. So I used a WSII mobo, WSII 233 CPU and managed to scrap together a nice little machine. I get 6 hours off the dual batteries, 6 hours use! I get 2 weeks plus on standby as I recently tested. Although it seems nothing in Apple i cheap I found this upgrade reasonable. http://www.wegenermedia.com/wllst400.htm Its a G3 400MHz/1MB cache CPU. Supports 512MB of RAM also. Should be nice for running OS X. I had a Lombard before and I can tell you OS 10.2 ran dog low on that, with 382MB RAM. So I will not even attempt OSX on this little 233 right now. Of course you'll want a bigger HD also but ince the transfer rate is slow I wouldn't recommend paying extra for a 7200, the 4200/5400 would be fine. Also be careful of ATA6 HD's as they appear to not work in these old PB models. Another consideration would be the video memory. Since it is a 14'' it mot likely has 4MB's but there is the possibility it is only 2. The tell-tale sign is if it has S-Video or not. If it has S-Video it is 4MB if not it is only 2. If you are interested I have some WSII mobo's but no CPU's if you would like to find or buy that upgrade and go that route. I got mine extremely cheap and I fairly impressed with the little guy but it is very slow and old. It's worth it to m e to upgrade it since my initial cost was so low, but if I were buying one off eBay I'd save my money and go for an iBook snow or a faster PB, say a G3 400 or better. OS X will run a lot better and the upgrade path seems to be longer. -- 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: iLife and G3 upgrade for WS
You will indeed need XPostFacto to install 10.3 on a Wallstreet. Try to make sure that this upgrade does support OS X or you could be disappointed. I'm not sure how the iLife package will be on a G3 at 400MHz. Some of the apps in the iLife package require a G4, more specifically Altivec. Again, you don't mention which version of iLife you plan to get, but I would suggest you check Apple's website for minimum requirements before taking the plunge... -Laurent. I was looking at iLife05. iLife '05 System Requirements * Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G3 (400MHz or faster), G4, or G5 processor o 600MHz G3 or faster required for GarageBand o G4 or G5 required for GarageBand software instruments and advanced photo editing in iPhoto 5 o 733MHz G4 or faster required for iDVD o 1GHz G4 or faster required to use HD features of iMovie HD * 256MB of physical RAM (512MB recommended) o 512MB RAM required to use HD features of iMovie HD * Mac OS X v10.3.4 or later o Mac OS X v10.3.6 or later required to use HD features of iMovie HD o Mac OS X v10.3.6 or later required to work with RAW photos (iPhoto 5) It wouldn't run too well on that G3 400, but it would run most of the stuff. I will probably go with a less expensive and older version of iLife though as the requirements are less. I found some iLife 03 for $10 or less online.

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!

Want to trade Mac for iBook/Powerbook
I posted this to the swap list also but trying to gauge interest. I would like to trade the following Blue n White G3 for a working OSX capable iBook or Powerbook. I'll consider all offers for trade, but I am not interested in money right now. I would like to get at least a 400MHz G3 with 256MB's of RAM, but that is negotiable. More RAM over CPU or vice versa. Most important to me is CPU. I will even consider a notebook with no RAM if the CPU is good. I will also consider stripped but working notebooks with just the CPU and CD-ROM drive. Battery life would be nice, but not necessary. WiFi is not important nor is the OS or hard drive size. I have: Blue n White G3 G3 500MHz 384MB RAM (1 128MB and 1 256MB) 120GB Maxtor ATA133 HD Original Rage 128 PCI graphics card Liteon CDRW 52x24x52 (boots and burns fine) Zip 100 2 firewire 2 USB No modem 10/100 NIC I will also include a maybe working G4 400MHz + Sawtooth mobo. It should work in this Mac but I was unable to get it working. I can load OS 10.2.8 and also OS 9.2.2 if needed. I have an original OS 9.0.4 restore CD and also original OS 10.2 CD's but these will be negotiated depending on the notebook specs. I have absolutely no problem with this machine. I originally traded a dual P3 PC for it locally and have had it for 4 months. The Mac sits now because I'd rather use a notebook. I love to write and love to write on Macs and have been using my Wallstreet more now and before that my PC notebook lol. So the PowerMac has been mainly an mp3 server. Case is in decent shape with a few scratches and the hinge to open the side is a little stiff but works. Pics can be provided also! Again this is all negotiable. I just want an OSX capable notebook.

Re: Can a WS recognize a DVD disk
I made the DVD on a DVD-R/VCR combo. I guess now neither of my WS drives (internal CD-ROM or external CD-R/W) will even recognize the DVD disk. I was hoping it would at least recognize the disk in some way so I could duplicate it with Toast.

Re: What laptop is it?
It's a wallstreet. But you can tell if it's a I or II by going to system profiler and finding out if it has cache memory or not. The original wallstreets had a 233MHz model with no cahce, the Wallstreet II has a 233MHz model with cache. The other difference between the 2 WS's is that the original had a Rage LT chip and the second has a Rage LT Pro chip for video, also found in system profiler. I just got a box full of parts and after some emailing to this list I found out the major differences between the two models.

Wallstreet upgrades
I finally got one of my powerbooks working. I traded an older iMac for a box of powerbooks and parts in unknown condition. I managed to get this out of it so far: Wallstreet rev I 250MHz 98MB 2GB 14 2MB VRAM 2 working batteries, testing a 3rd Working CD-ROM I've drawn up a few plans for it. First it's going to get a new paint job, orange with black trim :) But if I'm going to make it look pretty I need to make it faster. I have enough parts for maybe 2 more Wallstreet 2's if I can get CPU's for them. I want to get some other upgrades that would cross over between the two. Specifically hard drive, ram, wireless card, CPU, and USB. I have an idea of what to get but don't know where to start. Any suggestions on what parts to get, where to look, etc would be great. I'm looking for cheap stuff! Thanks for all the help! Mike Kauspedas Mindaugas Save Our LAN! www.coloradogameralliance.com -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Wallstreet probs
Just to clarify: Wallstreet II motherboards had a Rage LT chip on the bottom? That's how I tell the difference? My CPU's are labeled, one is a 233MHz, no cache, found some pics on the web, and the other is a 292MHz. ALL the mobo's I have have the LT chip on the bottom. What's weird is a couple of the powerbooks had these CPU's in them with the mobo with the LT chip. Maybe they were replaced with the wrong ones or something. So how do I know for sure if it is a Wallstreet II mobo or not? Or CPU for that matter if its not labeled? Is there a website? Thanks!

Re: my pb dongs! but nothing else
Have you tried the video out (VGA) ? COuld be a bad cable connection from the LCD to motherboard. Also, if you plug a HD in, does it spin up ? Also, one thing comes to mind: the unit with no S-video only has 2 megs of VRAM, which might not drive the 13.3 screen. Try swapping another screen, or use the external video. Mad Dog I've actually had an external monitor hooked up this whole time for that very reason. It ended up simulcasting on both. I got it to work! But it won't work with the keyboard. If I hook one of the three up it won't power on, without the keyboard hooked up it works fine. This is driving the 14 LCD at 1024x768, haven't checked the VRAM tho. I'm gonna try different top plastics and see if that fixes it. Got to tear it down again though.

Re: PB G3 power prob
If it boot chimes and the HD seems to be working, but you get no video, this most likely means you have a Wallstreet 1 CPU (233/no L2, 250, 292 MHz) on a Wallstreet2 motherboard (Rage Pro LT video chipset). I have a 292 and 233, but the one that isn't labeled is this: ck8241xxbkeaw (kinda hard to read so I may have messed a few) the mobo does have the Rgae LT Pro chip on it.

Re: 802.11g on a lombard
Not necessarily, the Belkin card in the red/gray box should have the broadcom chipset and will work with airport drivers. However the Belkin card in the white/gray box was in my case, a Ralink Technologies chipset. If you go to their website you will find drivers, however airport drivers will not work. Been there tried that, Mike So, that means that the great deal I just got on E-bay for a new Belkin PCICMA card and router that is listed at the Belkin site as working with OS 10.2.6 and airport 3.0.4, will just be going back on E-bay?

I have installed OS 9.1, 9.2.2, the USB-Card-Support 1.4.1 - to no avail. Unfortunately, installing OS X is not an option, as my processor upgrade refuses to work with it (the processor is not the culprit, however, as the problem with the USB-card persists when using the old (very sloow) processor). I have no idea if this is related or not, but my OrangeLink Firewire CadBus Card does not work, too (though it should as well). It is not even recognized in the System Profiler. Nils Seems almost everyone, including me, gets caught by this. Symptoms - The WallStreet works fine with a USB card whilst on mains power but freezes up under battery power. The solution is to turn off Allow processor cycling under Settings for Battery, in Control Panels, Energy Saver, Advanced Settings. Now the USB card should work fine. At least it did for me.

Other cards (CF SM readers, USB) work in both my PC card slots. My understanding is that this card should work because it's using a Broadcom chipset. But when I pull down the PC card menu that appears when it's in, it says: Ralink Technology Inc. RT2500 Which seems to be the name of a maker of a different chipset. Is this my problem? Did Belkin switch suppliers on me? Or is this normal and there's something wrong with my card, my computer, or my install? I know at least one other person here is using this wireless card (or at least a Belkin one), so maybe he/she/they can check and see if what I'm seeing is normal. I haven't checked any PC card in my PowerBook, so I can't really tell if what should appear is the chipset of the card in the PC menu.

Re: Adding RAM to WS II
You're right, it brings back to memory all that A+ stuff I learned... they don't teach you a whole lot on how Macs work though, that was disappointing because its real interesting. Know any good links for how the hardware in a Mac works? What kind of controller does the motherboard use to access memory, does it address the same way a PC does? North-bridge/south-bridge, are these relevant? Curious more than anything else, no explanation needed, just a link, but perhaps other posters would like to know if someone has the time. Thanks! Mike On Thursday, May 13, 2004, at 08:37 PM, Nils wrote: You guys are getting closer.. There are 2 issues here. One at a time. First, a WallStreet II runs a 66MHz System Bus. That means that you can run PC66, PC100 or PC133 memory. The rating shows the speed that the memory has been certified to run at. A piece of PC66 memory run on a 100MHz system but _might_ work. But when it was tested at the factory, they guarantee that it will run correctly and error free at 66MHz. The answer is, get whatever you want. PC66, PC100 or PC133 will work correctly. Second, as for the chip density. Yes, this is an issue. And is often not on a sticker attached to the memory module. Here is an example... If you had a 168pin (Dual In-Memory Module), it has 4 chips and the label says 8Mx32. It would break down like this... Chip Density : 8 (chip depth in millions) x 32 b (chip width in bits) = 256 Megabit (Mb) 256 Megabit (Mb) x 4 (number of chips) = 1024 Megabit (Mb) Module Density : 1024 Megabit (Mb) / 8 b (bits per byte) = 128 MegaByte (MB) When the motherboard for the WSII was designed, the memory controller used knew about different sizes of memory chips available at the time of production. So the sizes that it knew, it is able to address correctly. Now, since I don't have any 256MB modules in my WS right now, I can't tell you this for sure. But I'm going to take a guess.. I'm thinking that the memory controller doesn't know how to address a memory chip with a depth greater than 8 million bits. So it might be able to correctly access an 8Mx32 chip, but not a 16Mx16 chip. Both of those sizes are 256Mbit, but if the controller doesn't understand how to read a chip depth greater than 8 million bits, it will address the memory as an 8Mx16. If I'm right. This should explain why some 256MB modules show up as 128MB on older laptops.. Chip Density : 8 (chip depth in millions) x 16 b (chip width in bits) = 128 Megabit (Mb) 128 Megabit (Mb) x 8 (number of chips) = 1024 Megabit (Mb) Module Density : 1024 Megabit (Mb) / 8 b (bits per byte) = 128 MegaByte (MB) So, what you will want to look for is a 256MB module with 8Mx32 chips. I REALLY hope I'm right. It'd suck if I did all this reading/math to find out that I'm way off base.

Re: WiFi...Why Apple over 3rd party
I have a US Robotics router and a gulp Microsoft wireless card that I use for WS II. I had to pay a little more for the 3rd party driver to work the MS card, but I was still $30 cheaper than an airport that won't work in my system anyway. The router has a 108Mb capability and was only $40 after rebate. Apple is cool, but I'm not...meh!

Aside from Apple loyalty, and the cool factor, which may be negligent as the router is often in a place where the casual visitor to your home may not see it and therefor not be impressed by your cool factor, is there a compelling technical factor for using an Airport over any of the other good products on the market ?

Re: Micro$oft on the Mac
Right on, when was the last time Apple gave something similar to Microsoft's TS2 seminars. They teach you how to use their products and then give you a free copy. Not every TS2 is the same, but since I started attending 2 years ago I've gotten Windows 2000 SBS, Office XP, Windows XP pro, Windows Server 2003, and numerous other MS apps. All of these were full versions with no trial period. To echo this mac users point, both are great companies and I feel both are here to stay. I love my Mactop (PB G3) and wouldn't trade it for the world, but in defense of MS they offer so much support to the technical community that then passes on to the consumer. If anyone knows of free Mac seminars I would love to know! Seriously, that isn't sarcasm.

hey, I just checked out their website and must retot my previous argument. They do have some cool seminars, a mac OS X server seminar would be nice, but I can live with iMovie and iDVD guide. Plus multiple others. I live near Denver, so that is what I checked out. I plan on attending one of these in the next week.

Besides various seminars and workshops they hold in invarious cities, all the Apple stores also offer free seminars.

Re: Micro$lime vs. Apple

Have you considered that perhaps the reason your machine crashes is due to poor application installation, systems and applications not being up to date, poor maintenance, and or just bad user practices?

Re: mac osx equivalent to hibernate?
I've done the same thing with batteries. I've left my laptop in sleep for an entire day and it used 2% of the battery, no joke.

I've been using sleep between work and home for a year now on my 17 PowerBook. Removing the battery will kill sleep mode, but for transporting between work and home it's perfect. All I do is open the machine up, choose a different Location out of the Apple menu, and I'm on my wireless network and surfing away. I too have been using sleep mode with my PowerBooks since 1998 (Wallstreet II, now 15 Titanium). Works great, you can leave it for an extended period of time no sweat. Also, sleep mode is handy for swapping batteries. If you do it quickly (less than 60 seconds I think but don't quote me on it) you can swap out a discharged battery for a full-charged one. I use this when traveling on airplanes and want to finish watching a DVD. Usually I can't make it all the way through a movie on one battery. I simply put it to sleep, swap out the battery and start it back up. Works like a champ. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

If you use a magnet close to your hard drive you are asking to loose all your data.

I got it running OS X, but I'm going to replace the hard drive with something faster. I already added the 256MB in but can't get 512MB to work. Does anyone know some links or specifics on how to accomplish that feat? IE, what kind of RAM is required? Also, does anyone know any tweaks to speeding up OS X on it? Aside from more RAM, CPU, etc. I did the thousand colors deal, it helped a little tiny almost unnoticeable bit. Any other suggestions, feeling on these little guys? Any fixes to watch for? Possible over-clocking? Any general information is appreciated. thanks -Mike -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Trying to go wireless with Pismo
I am running a Dell 1150 in my Lombard with a SMC router with no problems. I found even though this is a re-badged Orinoco Gold it will not work under airport software (OSX or OS9). The drivers I used is WirelessDriver Beta5 , http://sourceforge.net/projects/wirelessdriver/ .

Re: Trying to go wireless with Pismo
Under Network ( System Preferences) -Ethernet adapter Under TC/IP Setup, Configure-Using DCHP (do not put in ip address let Server do that) Under System Preferences, Wireless Config - Put in name of network , then hit Apply Now to activate. You should see a signal strength on the display. Mike On Sunday, March 21, 2004, at 01:57 PM, DPrice wrote: I am running a Dell 1150 in my Lombard with a SMC router with no problems.

Re: AirPort problem
The WaveLAN cards will work with OS 9 Airport software, however you need outside drivers for OSX.

I put a Compac PCMCIA card in a friends Pismo and it worked just fine without any extra software. Tom I tried it in OS X but forgot that I needed drivers and I also forgot I could have restarted in 9 to try it :-/ -Laurent. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: cooling down Lombard?
Andrew, I use Thermograph on OS9. http://www.kezer.net/thermograph.html . I have also tone the thermal paste, I don't know for sure how much good it did as my processor had already lost its L2 cache, it did seem to drop the temperature about 10-15 degrees F.

However all the temperature monitors are OSX and I am running OS 9.2.2. Is there any reason not to just go ahead and add the thermal paste to my CPU? It doesn't seem to difficult and it has to help. Any recommendation for the paste itself? Thanks -- Andrew in Ann Arbor technology is the answer, what was the question? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard ram again
Hi Vicky, I finally fired up my Lombards to check the temperature. It runs about 63'c for light work to 75'c for processor intensive work. With mine I removed the heat-sink from the top of the processor and put on new thermal grease. It had already fried the L2 Cache so I felt I couldn't do any more harm. It had been running as high as 87c prior to the new thermal grease. My second Lombard Ran 59'c with processor intensive work. It's L2 is still working fine and I haven't felt the need to put thermal grease on it.

Also I asked the other day but only seen one reply, after checking for a whole day the lombard seems to run between 45'c Light work email etc and 70'c web browsing. Is this too hot? is it ok? What can I do if it is to hot? TIA Vicki -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: PRAM/Backup battery in WallStreet - Battery Reset

For sure, that's the first thing to do if you haven't had it on external power for an extended period lately. As we are talking WallStreets here, don't forget the Apple Battery Reset application (sorry, don't have the link handy). This application has revived my WallStreet battery several times, when I might otherwise have assumed the battery was dead (no longer holding any charge). I know that a few times I have run out of battery power completely and probably the PRAM/backup battery has run out as well. The main battery refuses to recharge until it is reset by Battery Reset. Maybe a sign of a faulty power manager board (also quite common, it seems). Worth a shot... Mike -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
