Re: mac osx equivalent to hibernate?
No, I understood completely what Timothy was asking. I was just addressing another poster's comment concerning sleep dying if you yanked the battery out. I'm very familiar with hibernate mode in Windows. On Apr 29, 2004, at 12:53 AM, Larry le Mac wrote: From: Phillip Burk [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. I think you guys have completely misunderstood Timothy's question. He's not asking about a 2 hour sleep during a journey or a 60s sleep during a battery change, he's talking about what is efectively a shut- down but without a reboot. I have never heard of any mention of this on a Mac. IMO not necessary as the Mac OS X.3 boots so fast... Larry _ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Re: Cisco Aironet and OS 9
Susan, That wireless card works with OS X because there are drivers built into the OS for it. OS X has many drivers for third-party cards and hardware; that is why it seems so simple to use. Windows does this as well, on that side of the aisle it's called plug and play. OS 9 won't recognize the wireless card because it needs a driver for it. It appears that the Cisco WLAN Install application runs in either OS X or OS 9. Get the installer, boot into OS 9 and run it.

Re: fsck weirdness
I'm curious as to the command you're entering. Are you using the complete path to fsck? I would be glad to explain WHY you need the complete path in single-user mode but I don't think that's necessary here. The command you want to issue is: # /sbin/fsck -y Repeat until it returns no errors. Note that it cannot fix all errors. For those you'll need something stronger such as DiskWarrior, DIsk Doctor or Drive 10. If fsck reports no problems then do the following: # /sbin/mount -uw / Which will mount all local drives. Then # exit Which will initiate the multiuser startup. On Wednesday, March 5, 2003, at 09:18 PM, Byron Gardner wrote: Restart OS X holding Command s, that boots you into single user mode.

Re: PCMCIA volume not Recognized on Pismo
Nope. Firewire is not involved here. However, the PCMCIA interface has also been used by the Kanguru external drives, among others. The device shipped with a (floppy) disk of drivers for WinNT, 95, and DOS, but no drivers were needed for Macintosh. I've also just tested the drive on a Powerbook 3400 under OS 8.6, and it works fine there. It begins to sound like drivers are not built-in to Jaguar, and I guess this is such a niche market that there never will be any. Alas. Jim, I have one of these drive shuttles - and indeed it used to work just fine under OS 9. Now, I haven't used mine in ages (laziness, I guess) but I'm beginning to suspect that OS X isn't recognizing the card as something with which it needs to do something. You know how when you connect a FireWire drive the volumes on it get automatically mounted? Well, I think that perhaps automount is run when you insert this card. Two things, the first of which is relatively simple. Have you tried restarting your powerbook with that card inserted? Second, I wonder if there isn't a Terminal command that might need to be run to get the volumes to mount. hmm... *ponders* Phil Burk Systems Support Technician Wiley Publishing, Inc. 10475 Crosspoint Blvd Indianapolis, IN 46256 317.572.3049 phone 317.572.1049 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Others could verify whether the ADB or serial ports might similarly wake the Wallstreet if a powered up device was connected. I have a Wallstreet running 10.2.3 that will not stay asleep either. Correction - it will sleep, but if moved it will wake up. I think it's related to the PCMCIA slots in that I use a Lucent wireless card to connect to my Airport BS at home. If I remove the card it sleeps fine. The wireless driver doesn't support hot-swapping that card (yet) so I am out of luck. I suspect that it's not just USB in your case. If you have a PCMCIA card in any slot remove it and let me know if it sleeps.

Name some. name some REAL stuff, that's actually shipping right now. Not coming soon, not vaporware. It's not a flaw if there's nothing out there to use it with. I know for a fact that there are some MP3 players that have USB2 connections. One of my coworkers has one and loves it. I also suspect that there are some file transfer utilities that take advantage of a USB connection between two PCs. But peripherals? Sorry, never heard of them using USB2. I personally cannot see many peripherals moving to USB2. Why not you ask? Well, the only gain from USB2 as opposed to USB1.1 is bandwidth. Since many devices have yet to saturate a USB1.1 bus (as Jeremy pointed out) this issue is moot. I can't see how the lack of USB2 is hurting the Mac platform.

If you use the percentage indication it will calculate the TOTAL for both batteries and recalculate upon removal of one battery. Also, I want to upgrade the processor. But I don't have $300-$400 to spend on a 500 MHz G3 or G4. I've looked on eBay, but that didn't help much. I was thinking of getting a 266 or 300 MHz used proc at $120 and $195 respectively.

I'm not sure that $120 to $200 is worth only up to a 66 MHz increase in clock speed.

The only thing you will lose are your settings for all your apps, stuff like window locations and sizes, bookmarks, etc. A couple of important notes for you: if you aren't aware of this, ~/Library/Preferences also will contain your mailboxes for Apple's Mail app, along with your Explorer or preferred browser's bookmarks. Other files of importance include iTunes prefs, like your Library, iPhoto files, if you use that, along with any third-party Systems Preferences you may have installed (like TinkerTool.) These can be found at: ~/Library/Preferences/Mail ~/Library/Preferences/Explorer ~/Library/Preferences/iTunes ~/Library/Preferences/PreferencePanes My recommendation is to drag that stuff out of your old home directory to your new desktop. From there, move them one at a time to your new Library/Preferences/ directory in the new user's home directory. Take a few moments to make sure that things remain stable.
