Plug the rca end into the output of the cassette recorder, plug the 1/8 in plug into the audio in on your laptop, and record the output into Audacity (it can save the music as AIFF files which is what you need for CDs), edit into single tracks, and burn your CD.

Re: OSX backup shareware
I've recently started using OSX on my pismo and am looking for software to do regular backups in OS 10.3.4. Before I spring for an upgrade from retrospect 4.3, I vaguely remember that someone on this list has authored a shareware program that will do this. Is this correct? If so, who wrote the software, how do I get it and how much does it cost? Seth Seth Austen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sethausten.com -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo sleep issue

Some laptop HDs tend to mess with the magnetic sensors in the G3 Series (although I cannot remember which ones) which create the symptoms you describe. Different versions of the I had this problem a few years ago with my G3/300 wallstreet and a 20 gig travelstar. OS have different methods of handling HDs during sleep, which could be causing your wake from sleep problem. I am not sure if this affects Pismos though, so someone else who could clarify this path of thought further would help shed light on your problem. This seems very likely to be the problem. I am currently booted in OSX and it wakes from sleep with no problem. I can run Classic from within 10, however it seems to hang up while asleep. Hmmm. I think we're going to try going back to 9.1 instead of 9.2 for that partition and see what happens. Adam, thanks again for your suggestions!

Re: Pismo sleep issue
Further updates on the situation. We installed sys 9.04 onto a 3rd, empty partition using the original installation disc, just for test purposes. That partition wakes up from sleep, but still not my main partition, on which we reinstalled 9.2.1, trying to keep my original system. This seems to lead to a software conflict. Anyone have any hints?? I'm getting tired of crashing and force restarts. thanks, Seth -- Seth Austen http://www.sethausten.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo sleep issue
My 2+ year old 20 G travelstar hard drive died last week, and I got a 40 G Seagate to replace it. For the most part the installation went smoothly, however I've since been having issues where the computer won't wake up from sleep, so I have to force a restart. We've run norton, disk warrior, rebuilt desktop, etc, to no avail. For the record, we created 3 partitions on the new hard drive, copied system 9.1 and my files from a backup into 1 partition, then updated that partition to 9.2 and installed 10.3 from CDs into another partition. I'm currently working from the sys 9 partition, want to get that running smoothly before I deal with OSX. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Seth PS, thanks to Adam for the recommendation of the Sony CRX820E, I've just ordered one of these to replace my LG CD/DVD drive that also decided to go south in the last few weeks. -- Seth Austen http://www.sethausten.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet acting flaky
I have had a recurring problem on my wallstreet for a few months now. Sometimes when I touch the menu bar with the cursor, the finder will quit. Sometimes it happens without doing this, instead, a program will just crash on me (sometimes while quitting the program) and when I go to the menu bar to restart, the finder will quit, then I have to do a force restart. We've tried everything that we can think of. I have allocated large amounts of RAM to hungry programs like IE, OE, etc. At various times I have run Norton, Tech Tool (lite), Disk Warrior, have zapped PRAM and rebuilt desktop. In addition, we've tossed every useless extension we can think of, all to no avail! I'll also mention that for some time now, this PB will not go to sleep, thus implying that something is running in the background, and perhaps contributing to the problem?? I've pretty much maxed out this PB G3/300, specs are; 512 RAM, 20 G IBM Travelstar HD, Macally USB and Firewire2go PCMCIA cards, currently running system 9.1, but it started doing this while it was still system 8.6...

The drive, it turns out, is surprisingly(?) loud. It spins down fine, but the hard drive needs to spin pretty continuously most of the time for what i'm doing (audio mosly). My refurbed wallstreet had that same drive in it, it started out OK, however within 3 months it got really noisy, and was driving me nuts. I recently swapped it out for a 20 gig IBM Travelstar, that drive is quite reasonable, let's hope it stays that way.
