Re: Battery Problems Solved!!!

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Since someone mentioned that they appreciate people posting to 
inform of the resolution of a problem, allow me this.


My battery is fixed!!! I the Lombard unplugged in sleep mode for 
about seven hours, and the battery worked when I plugged it back in. 
It showed all 4 LEDs and a full charge in OS 9. In fact, I'm typing 
this on battery power, where before, it would go instantly to sleep 
to preserve the contents of memory.


Caleb,
Ecstatic Lombard Lover at large


If you left the lombard unplugged with the dead battery in it, how 
did the battery get charged ?


What exactly was the symptom of the dead battery ?

Well, I use USBank and their site works just fine on my Mac using any

that is more progressive and less PC anal. If their web site is that lame, I
would worry about the rest of their system and how safe my money was and I

Re: Lombard frying batteries???

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

I dont know why, but I have had _zero_ luck bringing any third 
party WS or lombard batteries back to life.  BTI or Newertech.


Well, I called NewerTech and they think it's a bad PMU, but I still 
want a second opinion. They did say that they could get approval for 
another replacement, if I wanted to, however.


So, are there any other symptoms of a bad PMU other than fried 
batteries? I really don't want to ship my machine off, because it's 
got all my stuff on it, and it's got a couple of cracks in the lower 
case, and one to the left of the LCD on the inside of the lid that I 
don't want to stress any more than I have to.


Also, before I forget, does anyone know the keyboard combination to 
force the fans to come on, because I suspect that mine has a bad 
fan, as well.


*sighs as he's planning on spending the price of a used TiBook to 
get the Lombard fixed*


Caleb


Did you notice any odd behavior ?  For example my primary lombard 
will charge my one good battery even though the battery reads 100%. 
This worries me.


You can always try swapping out the PMU - if I knew where it was.

Re: Lombard frying batteries???

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Dear listers,

This is the second time I've had to email NewerTech support about 
replacing a battery, in the past month, but I'm starting to wonder 
if it's not my Lombard that's causing my battery problems, instead 
of the batteries themselves. I know the charging board is good on 
it, AFAIK, and the batteries did quit showing up as charged, with a 
corresponding light on the LED indicators on the side of the 
battery. Still, it's curious as to how a good company can send me 
two bad batteries in a row, without the possibility of a machine 
problem..


Well, hopefully you'll all have some good advice for me,
Caleb

Re: Lombard Startup

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

To be as succinct as I can...
Put a fresh copy of OS X(10.3) on an external 60g drive via my 
Pismo. Put the 60g drive into a Lombard. Lombard will not recognize 
the drive (I get either the flashing/alternating ?folder or a O with 
\ inside. Tried using OS X install disc then switching to different 
boot disc (either get the folder w/? or boots back to the install 
cd?.


Anyone know how to force boot to the main drive or what may cause this?

Checked memory and processor in another machine (Lombard).

TIA...

Re: WallStreet upgrade: enquiries and ruminations

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Hi,


 You'll be much happier with G4 so don't even consider G3...seriously.
 Here's an affordable upgrade from an outstanding company:
 https://4daystar.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=512


Thanks! They offer a good price - however, the necessity of having my
laptop sent over to them is a huge drawback. Wonder if there's any
chance of just having the necessary components sent my way; will ask
the Daystar chaps.


 Also, I'll cosign Bruce and Laurent's recommendation of DMS for your
 RAM needs; top drawer service.


I'll have to stick to eBay - trying to make this upgrade as
budget-friendly as possible.

Cheerio,

Mick.


Dont send the laptop, send a CPU card.  Buy a 233 MHz CPU (with the 
512K cache) and ship that.  Thats what I did.

Re: WallStreet upgrade: enquiries and ruminations

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Has anyone bought or tried the G4 500Mhz Upgrade for the Wallstreet
from Wegener Media? I have seen one from Sonnet, but the nice price
difference between it and the one from Weneger makes quite a
difference. I know that Sonnet says that its is the only one that can
support sleep mode in OS 9, but has anyone tried the Wegener one and
been able to put it to sleep? Just curious about that and a bit more
so after reading all these bad reviews about Wegener.

-Cody


I have a Daystar 466 G4 that works fine with sleep in OS X.

wallstreet problem

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Recently, my upgraded wallstreet (WS2/G4-466/512/10.3.9) started to 
not waking up fully after going to sleep.  The problem is 
intermittant, and when it happens the backlight wont turn on.  The 
computer is still functioning as I can turn it off by hitting the 
power key then return.


I botted into OS9, then back into X, but that didnt help.

Any ideas ?

Re: Hi! (and Pismo DVD-ROM issue)

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Hi all.  I just joined.

I recently came into posession of a broken G3 Powerbook "Pismo".  It 
seemed relatively complete (no hard drive, no keyboard, no psu, but 
cpu, ram, dvd-rom, battery).  I borrowed a 3400 from work, and tried 
out the pismo with it, but nothing.


I completely disassembled it, down to the power connector, to find 
that it had sheared from the board:

http://www.umlautllama.com/gallery/pismo/IMG_0562

so I desoldered, straightned, and reconnected it:
http://www.umlautllama.com/gallery/pismo/IMG_0566

I plugged it all back together, along with a 20gig spare drive I 
had, and it gave me the ? Folder.  YAY!


I just got done installing OS 9 on a 1 gig partition, and OS 10.2 on 
the remaining partition.  It all works really well.


(I do still need a shield for the ram/cpu area, keyboard, and power supply)

I just finally found my 10.4 DVD-R, and was about to install that 
over 10.2, to find out that for some reason, the DVD-ROM drive (the 
stock apple one) doesn't seem to read DVD-R discs... or at least, it 
doesn't read DVD-R discs that I've burnt.


Is this a common problem, or am I doing something wrong on my end?

-s

(I've also got a 15" TiBook 500 (Rev A), and my current machine, a 
15" AlBook 1.67ghz... which belong to work, but for all intents and 
purposes, my machines.)

Nice rework on the sound/AC board.

From what I gather the lombard/pismo DVDs are getting flaky by now. 
Luckily, you can replace the mechanisms with a number of other 
devices you can find on Ebay.  This is a good reference page:

Re: Wifi antenna

[Tom Ethen]

I agree completely!

This bizarre design change forces me to take my iBook when traveling and not
my Albook so I can get stronger WIFI connections. Now, my Pismo, because of
its larger size and much larger antenna (compared to a 12") is the WIFI
champ, but too big to travel with, for me anyway.

Re: Wifi antenna

[Tom Ethen]

If you look at a parts page on the 12" powerbook, the antenna only goes
around the bottom and up to the grey tabs on the side of the display.

The iBook and Pismo antenna goes all the way around the display, this giving
a larger area to receive WIFI signals.

Re: Wifi antenna

[Tom Ethen]

My 12" AL book gets far less range than my 12" iBook because it has a
smaller antenna, or so the people at MacWorld told me. I would suggest
getting a better antenna for the WIFI and leave the AL book as it is.

Re: AppleCare Technician Training

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Has anyone took the apple care training course?  I was wonering if it
is worth taking?

Thanks all
Steve


According to the Apple representitive I talked to over the AppleCare 
phone line, being Apple Trained trained doesnt get you anywhere.  In 
order to NOT void your warranty by opening up the computer, you also 
have to be Apple _Certified_ which apparently means being part of a 
larger business.

Re: [FS?] Lombard parts

2x ~5300 mAh batteries (I repacked these with top-of-the-line LiIon

How did you find the correct Li-ion cells ?  Do you have a webpage up

Re: Pink Hue on Pismo display

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

I am wondering if anyone here can remind me what causes the above 
symptom.  It goes away after a few seconds and the colour is fine.  
The pink colour returns after waking the comp from sleep.  The 
colour always goes away.  Is this something to be very concerned 
about, somewhat concerned about , not to worry about in the near 
future but...


TIA,

J Sanderson


If I recall correctly, its a failing backlight.  It is fixable with 
the correct replacement part.

Re: Wireless Lombard

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

The cisco card was from Ebay, check on the pc side instead of the 
mac side.  THe Belkin card I bought on sale at CompUSA ($10 after 
rebates).  Make sure not to get the v4000 model - evidently that 
doesnt work on a mac (different chipset ?).


Every week CompUSA seems to be blowing out one wireless card or 
another.  Check to see if the card has mac drivers; sometimes they 
do.




Thanks for ALL of the suggestions!  I have a few directions to look into now.

Are they easy to setup once installed?  I'm used to being hardwired 
to my router!

The airport SW is the easiest, and the Belkin interface is sort of 
clunky.  Once you get it set up you really dont have to deal with it 
at all.  The Cisco SW isnt bad.


Well worth the prices I paid for them.

I did get one of the $5 CompUSA G cards (after rebate), which had a 
chipset with a mac driver, but I couldnt get it to work.  I was kind 
of bummed out, $5 for a G card is a great deal.

 I have a Cisco Aironet 340 (IIRC) on my WS/10.3.9 and a Belkin
 F5D7010 (v 3001) working on my lombard /10.3.9 where I have to use
 the software from each of the companies.  Not as nice as Airport, but

 Each cost me $20 or less.

Re: Wireless Lombard

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Mad Dog, I never had any luck using anything other than 
Broadcom/Airport combinations, but that's just me. For ease of use, 
the Sonnet Aria or whatever Buffalo card has the Broadcom chipset is 
best. The Aria can be found on OWC's site, if you don't mind 
shelling out $70+shipping.


Just my humble opinion,
Caleb

When running X, you have more options, but most of them wont be seen

Re: G4 upgrade for Lombard?

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Hi,

I seem to remember someone offering a G4/500 or 550 upgrade for the 
Lombard series, but I can't seem to remember which company. I know 
the WS I and II have available upgrades from Sonnet, but I'd like to 
bump the Lombard up.


Also, are there any heat issues with Lombard/Pismo systems with G4 upgrades?

Caleb


www.daystartechnology.com and www.wgenermedia.com offer G4 upgrades 
up to 433 MHz for the Lombard.  I bought mine from daystar and it 
runs cooler being a copper CPU.  Their recent version of this upgrade 
also contains a lombard heatsink with an extra slab of copper riveted 
to the heatsink for extra thermal mass.

Having trouble with Lucent Silver wireless card

[Tom W.]

I have a Lucent silver wireless card which I was using in a
Wallstreet. I had airport 2.04 installed and it recognized it.
But I just got a lombard and formatted the HD and put a fresh install
of 9.22 on. It has airport 2.04 but it doesn't detect a wireless card.
Does it need a firmware update or anything?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Kanga won't start

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Greetings listers,

I've got a PowerBook G3 (original Kanga) that I can't get up and running.
I've tried asking at the Apple support site, but haven't gotten much help
yet so thought I'd try here.  For those of you regulars at the Apple site,
sorry for putting you through this again.  Here goes:



If another power board doesnt solve the problem, it would appear you 
have the dreaded 3400/3500 hiss/click of doom.


I have number of boards with similar problems.

If you have a chance, take the motherboard out and inspect for blown 
SMT components on the board.

Re: Battery not charging properly.

[Tom Ethen]

Caleb,

I would also suggest that you charge the battery for at leas 24hr with the
Lombard turned off. I know that is hard if it is your only Mac, but I
believe you will have much better luck by not using it until the battery is
charged.

Re: Battery not charging properly.

[Tom Ethen]

Caleb,

If you get the battery to work properly you will be pleased with the
performance, as mine gave me an additional hour of use in my Pismo compared
to the Apple battery.

By the way, your questions were not stupid by any means! How else are you
going to find things out if you don't ask and this forum is one of the best
places to find things out about G3 and G4 issues.

Re: Battery not charging properly.

[Tom Ethen]

Caleb,

I don't know what battery reset utility does, because it won't work with my
Pismo, but I do know that when I first got the battery from OWC it did not
charge at all for quite a while and then only a little bit even though the
lights stated otherwise. I then just left it for the weekend and was
planning on calling OWC to complain the following Monday. By Monday it was
fully charged and good to go and has worked ever since.

I know the batteries have a circuit board in them, as I tried to rebuild one
once, but couldn't figure out how to convince the circuit board that it now
had new cells installed and never could get it to work. I don't see how the
battery utility could break the battery, but I have heard that completely
draining them makes them act strange and possibly not function any longer.

If it is new, you should be able to send it back if you can't get it to work
and get a replacement if charging for a day or two doesn't work. If you got
it from OWC, they are very good about replacing items they sell that don't
function properly.

Re: Lombard not charging.

[Tom Ethen]

Caleb,

Read my other post, it took over 24hr for my NewerTech battery from OWC to
take a charge, it will do next to nothing in three hours.

Re: Battery not charging properly.

Shut it off and charge the batteries. My new battery from OWC had to charge
for over 24hr before it took a full charge.

Re: WiFi Card

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Hey Everybody especially Caleb and Mad Dog; If anyone is interested I
just picked up a Motorola WN825G wireless notebook adapter card from
Ebay and it is currently working in my 400MHZ Lombard and shows up as an
Airport card. I am using OS X.2.8. I got the card for $18.00 which was
not bad at all, but I didn't exactly like the shipping cost which was
$14.00 which I thought was rather steep for a Priority Mail package but
I never found any any cheaper so i went for it and now I no longer have
to deal with trying to find drivers for the PCMCIA card. The reason I
thought of trying this card is because I have a Motorola1810G PCI card
in my B&W as well as in my Sawtooth that also shows up as an Airport
Card, so I thought I had nothing to lose trying this one out. Good Luck
campers.
Mad Dog this might help you out.
Here's the information off my box:

Re: Comp USA wireless card

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

 > When opened the net8185.inf file with text edit, it says the provider

 is Realtek.
 A trip to www.realtek.com.tw indicates they have they have a PCMCIA
 wireless card "8185" :


http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?lineid=2002111&famid=200
 4112&series=All&Software=True

 It says its for 10.4, but I only have 10.3.9 on my lombard.  I
 installed anyway but when I try and run the wireless utility it tells
 me there is no wireless LAN card installed.  It might be you have to
 have 10.4 on the machine.

 At no point am I getting any lights on the card so it is possible its
 a bum card.  The fact that Realtek has a mac driver is encouraging
 though.


The networking kernel stuff has substantially changed with 10.4 which might
explain why the driver won't work on 10.3.x...

-Laurent.


Unfortunately I dont have an easy way to test the theory.  If I find 
time I can try installing 10.4 on another notebook.

Tom, try the IOXpert drivers, you can use them on a trial basis to 
see if the card works with them.


I installed the drivers, but that didnt seem to do anything.

Alternatively, poke around at the Windows drivers provided on the

Re: Upgrading Pismo

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

- to run Tiger, would I be better off replacing the lower RAM slot with
another 128mg (maxing the machine out at 512mg) - considering that my
laptop is not my primary machine (just the more user friendly one!)


The Pismo maxes out at 1 gig, not 512 Meg.


- has anyone bought a combo-drive from the fastmac people? <

Buy a used combo or superdrive on Ebay.  Refer to this page for which 
ones will work:

That vendor id is for a Texas Instruments PCMCIA chipset, so I'm not

since your PC slot is not as fast as USB2.

Re: Advice Needed - Wallstreet upgrade

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

Is anyone running !0.3 daily with a Wallstreet? Will I need the 
extra ram (expensive low profile) ?
Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate my G4 desktop (dual 450 
gigabit ethernet) without any problems (missing drivers/control 
panels)?


I use 10.3.9 on my wallstreet. 	It works quite well.  More RAM is 
better, and when running X, I recommend maxing out the RAM.

Re: wallstreet questions

[Tom and Lisa Peters]

First, I have no idea on whether a CD-RW was made for the 
Wallstreet. I know the later Lombard and Pismo have aftermarket 
Superdrives available, but I don't know about the WS or WSII.


Second, if I remember correctly, the Lombard and Wallstreet take the 
same RAM, with the lower slot being replaceable by pulling the 
daughtercard out and installing a "low-profile" chip. Someone who 
knows more about the Wallstreet can feel free to correct this, but I 
think it's replaceable. I know it is on a Lombard, though.


Caleb


There was at least one 3rd party CD-R or CD-RW drive made for the 
wallstreet and you can find one on Ebay every now and then.


The WS also takes a lower RAM slot stick, just like the Lombard.  Low-profile.

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB

[Tom Ethen]

Not sure what that means, since I am in Las Vegas and San Diego quite a bit
and only find the need to clean the Pismo or Powerbook screen once or twice
a month even when there.

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB

[Tom Ethen]

Use either Klear Screen or HoodWipes, which were designed for cleaning the
screen and the HoodWipes work wonders on the outside of a laptop also.

Don't be such cheap skates, you get 12 HoodWipes for $11 and on my Pismo the
cleaning lasts for a month or so, on both the screen and the case.

I'm not saying that at all Clark (that it's only illegal if you get
caught). You made a statement that there were plenty of stories about
people getting busted for software piracy that used the "I didn't know
it was wrong" defense.

I challenged you to provide one instance where that had occurred as a
result of an individual user selling a computer with an unlicensed OS
on it. I've never heard of individuals being targetted by police or
other authorities for selling their own  computer with an OS on it.
That doesn't make it right, and I'm not  saying it's right.

I couldn't agree more. Gmail has made me give up using my pop mail

Why don't we  start with one story? I've never, ever heard of a
computer company coming after a user who sold his laptop with an OS on
it.

I know people get busted  for duplicating software and then selling
it, but a home user selling his computer getting  hunted down by the
police?

I don't think so.

Re: Macs and eBay

Ebay like many companies on line is PC anal and they are big enough that
they don't care if other platform users are having issues with their site. I
find Safari to be much slower on ebay than Firefox and the last version of
Explorer for the Mac to be almost unusable on ebay.

Re: WSII won't see RAM in top slot

[Tom and Lisa P]

Interesting idea.  Does a WS II CPU work on a WS I?  I upgraded the 
processor to the 292MHz limit after I bought the machine 'cause 233 
was just too slwww.


What's BGA?

Jim Sanderson


A WS2 CPU will work fine on a WS1 motherboard.  Just not the other way around.

BGA stands for Ball Grid Array which describes the method of 
attachment of the CPU to the board.  Its an array of tiny little 
balls of metal.  You cant rtework BGA at home; you need an expensive 
pro rig for that.

Re: WSII won't see RAM in top slot

[Tom and Lisa P]

WS on Jaguar

I remember when I had all sorts of issues with mine.  All those 
kinds problems went away with the upgrade to Panther.  With the comp 
not recognising the RAM, that's probably to do with the processor.
One person suggested now might be the time to take advantage of 
Daystar's G4 upgrade.  That's a good idea depending on the age of 
the WS.  Mine was among the first made, evidently and could not be 
upgraded because of the type of video card, or so the good doctors 
at Daystar told me.  Because this one is a WS II, I doubt there 
would be any problem.


Jim Sanderson


Daystar (or any other rework shop) has a harder time upgrading the 
WS1 CPUs as the L2 cache parts are BGA, while the WS2 L2 cache parts 
are quad flat (easier to rework).  Find a cheap WS2 233/512K l2 CPU 
card on ebay and send that in for upgrade.

Re: G3 Lombard

I'm new to this list, so please bear with the newbie question. Are 
there any major issues with the 400 MHz Lombard, such as logic board 
failure, or anything like that? I've got one coming in, and I want 
to have a heads-up before I have any problems. Also, does the DVD 
playback work under OS X Jaguar or Panther?


Thanks in advance,

PowerBook G3 Lombard

I dont recall any serious issues.  The DVD drives of the time have a 
rate of failure that is noticeable.  The batteries are also sometimes 
difficult to get working (again, old age).


People have said the DVD chip on the motherboard does not work under X.

Re: Question re: buying a used Apple Laptop

My Pismo 500 G/3 is not as fast as my iBook 600 G/3 and that is the cold

portable by any means.

Re: Question re: buying a used Apple Laptop

[Tom Ethen]

I had a 2400c G/3 320 and it was pretty fast and small, but the battery life
forced me to get a G/3 600 iBook, dual USB and it is all I take on trips
now. It has great battery life, great WIFI range, is faster than the 2400c
and is much more convenient than the strange rear input panel the 2400c has.

That said, I did get another 2400c after I sold my G/3 320 for lots of
money, and play with it every once and a while even now.

I have had my iBook 600 for a couple of years now and so far no problems at
all.

Re: unwanted network

[Tom Ethen]

My guess is that the reason you know he has the same router as you is you
both left them with the default name (Linksys) and if one of you names your
router different name the problem is solved.

Re: Lombard/Tiger/Install Q's

[Tom and Lisa P]

Dave, why not into getting the L2 cache replaced ? Daystar or 
Wegener can do it. With no L2 , X probably runs like a dog (a bad 
dog at that).


Mad Dog


Hey Mad Dog,

I've been running 10.3.9 with a bad cache for 6 months.  Actually 
runs pretty good so have been content and can't complain. 
Definitely not a dog but obviously could always be faster too.  When 
I need to get into more intensive work, I can simply jump to the 
desktop.  Fixing the Lombard also hasn't been in the budget as I 
have been dedicating all my extra funds and energy into developing a 
new computer product.  Can't say what it is yet but hope to launch 
soon.  After it reaches the marketplace, I then hope to go out and 
buy a new laptop.  So until then, the Lombard will do.


I guess the big questions I still need to answer are: Will the 
Lombard handle all the way up to 10.4.3?   And, is it best to run 
the updates from the Lombard itself or while the drive is in a 
supported system?  (That is, assuming I don't go the XPF route).


Thnx,

Dave


I think the cache upgrade is relatively cheap.

I havnt tried putting 10.4 on a lombard, but 10.3 on a wallstreet 
using xp facto was fairly easy.

Re: Lombard/Tiger/Install Q's

[Tom and Lisa P]

Hey Will,

I seem to have a slight dilemma in regards to xpf.

It requires you to turn on the L2 Cache.  Problem is, my L2 cache is 
failed on my processor.  So don't know where to go from here?


I wonder if XPF simply allows direct installation on the Lombard or 
actually enables usage?


The known workaround for putting Tiger on Lombards is to simply 
remove the hard drive, hook it up to a supported machine via 
firewire or ide, and then do the install, then put the drive back in 
the lombard.   With my L2 cache issue, it may be best for me to go 
this route unless there are other issues.


Still reading xpf info and forum to learn more.

Dave


Dave, why not into getting the L2 cache replaced ?  Daystar or 
Wegener can do it. With no L2 , X probably runs like a dog (a bad dog

Re: Pismo screen, case, Belkin questions

[Tom and Lisa P]

Hello,
I have recently acquired a 500 mhz Pismo running 10.4.2 and would 
appreciate members' opinions on the following:
2. The screen- When started the screen is suffused with a red color, 
whether starting in Tiger or OS9.22. Then the red fades and the 
screen takes on the usual display and behaves normally. Is this 
vibrant red a sign of imminent screen failure and if so, what will 
need replacement?


If I recall correctly, this indicates the backlight is failing.  The 
backlight can be replaced instead of the whole screen if you like to 
tinker.


4. It came with a Belkin 54g F5D7010, 802.11g Wireless Notebook 
Network PCMCIA Card, but when I insert it there is no indication 
that it is seen, nor that Airport software works with it. Does 
anyone use this wireless card who could tell me where to find more 
information?

Thanks.


use of the 7010 requires Ralink drivers (see thier website), for use 
in OS X.  I dont remember if it has OS 9 drivers.

Good to know.

I put in an 80 gig 5400 Seagate in my Pismo, and so far it's quiet

The Momentus drives are almost totally quiet.  Feels much faster than 
a typical drive too, and it seems to run cool.

Re: Pismo and newer drives

[Tom and Lisa P]

 >People have written that some newer drives (ATA6) are not compatible

with the Pismo. What is the symptom of these drives when they don't
negotiatid to ATA5?


No devices on the ATA bus will work ... at all!

You cannot boot from the CD/DVD, even if that CD/DVD contains a system
installer, or even an "emergency" boot volume.


I just bought a Seagate Momentus 40 gig 5400 RPM/8 MB cache  from 
Macgurus and it works fine on my Lombard.

Re: recommendations for 3400?

[Tom and Lisa P]

Not really a G-book but close.
My sister has just come across a 200 Mhz  3400 with 80 Mb RAM and a 
2 Gb hard drive.
She wants to do word processing, e-mail (with wireless card),  light 
web browsing and music downloading.
I suggested that music downloading wouldn't make sense with such a 
small hard drive but that the other tasks should be possible.
I have a YDI diamond 802.11b card that works in a wallstreet or 
Lombard with the stock Apple Airport extensions. Not sure if it will 
work with the airport extensions in OS 8.6.


Questions:
Which OS, I'm thinking 8.6 or 9.1
Which browser?
Which e-mail client?

Thanks
Andrew in Ann Arbor
technology is the answer, what was the question?


Might as well go 9.1 for compatibility with some later browsers 
(IIRC).   For browsers, Netscape 4.78 would be the fastest, but least 
compatible.  Opera 6.03 is a compromise (but it isnt fast), and 
Mozilla builds are the most compat. but the slowest.


Eudora Light is free and fast and easy.

 Very much so ... as I stated in my initial reply.


That's odd. I thought the latest versions of OS X could not play DVDs on a
Lombard, only a Pismo? Which version of OS X are we talking about?

-Laurent.


10.3.x or 10.4.x

thanks,

Re: lombard DVD decoder

[Tom and Lisa P]

 > The built-in decoder works well.


 DVD writing is reliable at 2X, usually reliably at 4X, and fails at
 greater than 4X, and that failure is on account of the poor grounding
 provided within the media bay itself. These same drives will not fail at
 any speed if installed as directed, using an 80-wire/40-pin cable.


I thought the DVD DECODER was for reading movies ?

Why does a DVD DECODER impact writing DVDs ?

Re: lombard DVD decoder

[Tom and Lisa P]

 >Does the DVD decoder on the lombard motherboard work under X ?

If you mean the built-in decoder on the 400 MHz models, absolutely. (I
cannot comment on the 300 MHz models).

You may need to use PatchBurn if you have updated your media bay to
include a CD/DVD-ROM-R-R/W drive.

With the super drives which are in the distributor inventory right now,
mainly the Pioneer DVR-K05 and Panasonic UJ-845S, you will probably have
to use PatchBurn in order to cover all variations of DVD media.


So you can buy one of these mechanisms and swap it with the old one 
on the housing ?


thanks,
