hard drive swap 3400 to Wallstreet

2003-12-09 Thread Simon Stone
Hi list, is there any reason why I couldn't take a 2gig drive with 
os8.6 installed out of my 3400c and install it in my Wallstreet as a 
temporary solution until I find another drive. Thanks.

Simon Stone

Re: adding a firewire port

2003-10-09 Thread Simon Stone

 Subject: Adding a Firewire port
 From: Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Hi all,

 I'm recording with my Powerbook and a MOTU 828 audio interface. I am
 also using a firewire hard drive to write tracks to.

 My question has to do with adding a firewire port. I only have one on
 my Powerbook, and was previously using the built-in hub port on the
 firewire hard drive case. That port failed last night, and no longer is
 recognized by my Powerbook.

 Should I buy a Firewire hub? Or, should I buy a PC Card with a Firewire
 port?

 I'm interested in bandwidth problems that may happen by having an 828
 and a hard drive on the same firewire bus. Is it better to use a PC
 Card or a hub?

 Mark


Hi Mark,

the the only thing I can tell you is this: I have a Pismo with both OS 9.2 and OS
X an 828 MkI and a VST PCMIA firewire card. OS 9 cannot see the MOTU on the
cardbus port, only on the built in firewire ports while OS X accepts it on both,
and it works like a charm. My drives and CDRW are recognized everywhere by both
OS's. Hope this helps.

Simon

Wallstreet processor swap

2003-09-01 Thread Simon Stone
Hi list, does anyone know if it is possible to replace the microprocessor board in a 
'98 G3 series 233mhz Wallstreet with the 233mhz cacheless board from an earlier 
model Mainstreet? My friend's
Wallstreet won't start up (no startup chime) and we want to do the swap to see if the 
problem is in the processor and/or the ram. Also would the we be at risk of harming 
the good board if other
components such as the power manger or i/o boards are faulty? Any info you can provide 
would be much appreciated.

Simon Stone

 The repair manual has a spreadsheet showing which combinations of
 processor and logic boards will work. It is described based on the serial
 numbers of the processor card and logic boards. I went through a bit of a
 tangle until I got the correct pieces to put a Wallstreet back in
 operation (still have some of the extra pieces). I can clip and send
 you a copy of the chart if you wish.

Thanks Ken, I downloaded what appears to be the service/takeapart pdf and
found the spreadsheets, it seem like my 233mhz cacheless board will work with
three of the four logic boards in the G3 series of computers. While looking
through the manual  I read that my friend's problem could also be due to a
faulty keyborad, we removed it and the book was happy, end of story. Thanks
again.

Simon

Re: Chopshop wallstreet

2002-10-30 Thread Simon Stone
That was my reaction too,  but at keast we know it's possible.

 For that kind of outlay I think I'd get myself a newer PowerBook.
 There's a screen on ebay UK, one can't help pondering the
 possibilities. Oh well.

 Cheers.
