I'm trying to create clone of the Pismo drive in a partition on the QS. Note: that dragging files is not the way to produce a backup since neither invisibles or all system files would be copied.

The other apps are supposed to be able to copy everything, although Carbon Copy Cloner is reported sometimes not work from a firewire target disk according to the developer's website. Oh, your cloning the whole drive. That never worked for me. If I remember it was complaining about not being able to continue because a file was in use or something. I'm thinking I should have booted from the CD and tried it, but I used my regular method below. I tried CCC and it did not work for me either.

I have a setup with some similarities running on a TiBook 1 GHz and wasn't sure whether the FW drive would work properly if connected to the 896, I had conflicting info on this (I actually have a 828 MK2 but I assume it will be the same). When I got the set-up, I went to MOTUs site and one of the tech articles said to hang your FW HD off of the 896. I do it that way cause that's what MOTU said. Whether it works the other way or not, I have not tried. I keep my cables short. 3 ft. for the 896 to Ti, and 1.5 [I think] for the 896 to FWHD. The other thing is my FWHD is not bus powered. It has it's own power cord. No power flow issues that way. You say the 896 is upset if hot-unplugged. I haven't noticed problems with the 828. What does happen exactly? Well it's more the driver. If I leave the 896 on and unplug it , and then plug it back in, the driver would not always reload automatically. I would have to turn it off and then back on and the driver would load. Nothing major. This is what used to happen. I stopped doing a while ago though, so I'm not sure if it does it anymore. I just turn it off and then unplug it. Apart from that, is the system stable? Or do you experience occasional problems? It's very stable. No problems. I get a message saying something like The FWHD was not unmounted cleanly or something like that when I cut the 896 power first. Happens occasionally when I'm in a hurry. There is a pause in the audio when I turn on the FWHD while playing tunes through the 896. Probably a protocol issue. The weirdest thing is when using the modem. When I disconnect, sound stops flowing through the 896 for a brief moment. Must be an OS issue. Never crashed though. My desktop setup is: FW to the MOTU 828 MK2 audio interface, USB to unpowered cheap hub to which I connect the Apple Pro Mouse, Logic Pro 7 dongle, Emagic EMT8 USB MIDI interface, Beringher BC2000 Control Faders. Planning to add a 20 Cinema display soon and the FW drive. Stable as a rock, until I upgraded RAM, that is. Had to go back to the original stick... But will need to upgrade nevertheless from 512 Mb. I got my RAM from OWC. Never had a problem. When I read about the rare occurance of someone getting a bad DIMM [they are not perfect] from OWC, they get it replaced fast. I print via airport to a USB printer hooked to the Lombard (hard-Ethernet to WL router - cable modem) and I also run mini-jack audio out to the mixing desk for casual listening without having to fire up the 828.

If the ibook still works in all other areas besides the display, this is what I would do.

When she gets a new laptop, take the HD out of the ibook mini, put it in a firewire case and either sell the ibook mini as parts to part collectors or sell the parts yourself.

I knew that this wouldn't be good so I called my daughter immediately and told her what was happening and that before calling Apple, I wanted to have the truth. Sure enough, something wrong happened. She actually spilled water over the keyboard and since she didn't know what to do and didn't want to tell me, you can imagine the consequences. So, I called Apple and they confirmed what I had just found out. There was still liquid residues on the motherboard and this had shorted the display circuit. It seems that the computer is still working fine because I was able to boot it in target disk mode just fine. Anyway, Apple quoted me at over $750 to replace the motherboard of the iBook who was purchased for $1000. So, what are my options here? I thought I could maybe find a replacement for less and replace it myself, since I have disassembled various PowerBooks and was able to put them back together and they still worked. However, that would probably void her warranty. OTOH, my experience is that the warranty might not be that helpful and will be running out anyway in a few months. So, what are you people suggesting?

Don't install 10.3.5-10.3.7 without updating to 10.3.8 if you are using a dialup Internet connection. As I have heard of no problems with 10.3.8 or 10.3.9, and as they include a number of security patches, you should update anyway. Yes, the downloading can be a pain if you don't have access to a high speed connection (I go to the Apple Store). Versions 10.3.5-10.3.7 had a modem bug that would cause delays in getting dial tone and eventual kernel panic, which necessitated a restart. After restart, the modem worked well maybe six times before the delays would start. This got me. My cds had 10.3.5 on them. I got them just around the time 10.3.7 came out. It was a frustrating 1st month or so until 10.3.8 came out and fixed the modem issue. It would dial normally around 5x, then take multiple attempts, then around the 12-15th time it would kernel panic.

Re: Doesn't anyone wait anymore?!
On Sat, 7 May 2005, Zoltan Batiz wrote: Hello All, I wanted to thank everyone who joined in on this thread. I was speaking from the heart and it might not have needed to be so important, but I'm just tired of upgrades folks. Yea Tiger sounds cool this and cool that, but it just seems that once I FINALLY get comfortable with my damn computer, Apple is racing the clock to make it obsolete. These big OS upgrades make me nervous. It's only a matter of time before the ATI video card in my Pismo will no longer be supported. Tiger supports it. . .for now. Don't worry about it so much. Computers are in a constant state of upgrades. As long as your video card is supported by the software your actually running, then everything is fine. :) The only thing I worry about is file format comapatibility. I really hate the nearly non standard file formats for just about everything and the constant inability to open this versions document verses that version. That gets annoying. In my opinion, Apple needs to SLOW DOWN. They should have just stuck with Panther for a while, and focused their developing efforts to bring back the Newton, and concentrate on a G5 PowerBook / iBook. When it comes to software, I say what most people say about hardware that works. . .if it ain't broke, why fix it?! Anyway, no need to respond to this, I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who prefers to wait it out when major OS upgrades roll out yet again. I just hope someone at Apple reads this and agrees. Maybe Tiger will be the new OS for the next 2 or even 3 years. Apple could stretch it out. . . after all, they have to go from 10.4.0 all the way up to 10.4.9! Your in luck. Apple knows it can't sustain [or burden everyone with] constant 12-18 month upgrades. I believe it was Phil Schuller [sp?] who said that the upgrades will slow down, and it will probably be more of a 2 -2.5 year schedule. -- Nick http://www.izap.com/~pinnacle therhythmex: AIM, Jabber, and Yahoo Messenger ID So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

No thanks. . .I'm happy right now with 10.3.9. :) I always wait. Usually some expensive app [music] that I need to upgrade first gets in the way. In general though I wait, I don't like doing OS upgrades.

I didn't upgrade to OSX until Jaguar when 10.2.3 was shipping on disc and didn't upgrade to Panther until the 10.3.5 discs were shipping. Bleeding edge I'm not.

She's in NC and I'm in NH so I am trying to troubleshoot this long distance. Maybe she has simple finder/limited user option set on her account. That would explain why she can only open the apps in the dock. Can she click on an open area in the background, the desktop, and hit Cmd-N and try to get a finder window? Can she bring up the Force Quit menu? Either from the Apple Menu or pressing cmd-opt-esc. The finder should be in the list and when you select it the button should say 'Relaunch'. Is that possible? How about Command-Clickking on the Finder icon in the dock. That should cause a new window to open. Do she by any chance have an alias to the HD in the dock? She could ctl-click it and navigate to the utlities folder and open Activity monitor or a terminal and check to see if the finder is running.

Re: 60GB 7200RPM or 80GB 5400RPM

I'm stuck between the Hitachi/IBM Travelstar 60GB 7200rpm vs the 80GB 5400rpm. Since I've seen very similar prices on them, is the performance increase from a 5400rpm drive to a 7200rpm drive worth the smaller size? I'll be doing some video editing, some music editing, and a lot of general everyday multi-tasking in various apps. Pismo 400mhz, 1GB RAM. Unless the performance boost is feelable, I'm liking the size of the 80GB. That's a hard choice. Depends on the level of video and audio editing. If your doing imovie level editing and low track count [around 8] audio I would get the 80GB. You will not feel any difference and you'll enjoy the increseased space. If your doing Final Cut Pro/Express level editing [multiple video and audio tracks] and greater than 8 audio tracks I would hesitantly get the 60GB. You need the performance, you would feel the difference over the 80GB. Unfortunetly, you also need more space that this higher level requires. I would get the 60GB and start saving for a 120GB+ external firwire drive also. :) HTH, - Nick aka Baby Hog http://www.izap.com/~pinnacle therhythmex: AIM and Yahoo Messenger ID Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again?

Re: iBooks vs. the World
Good point. Light this and that changes over time. I remember a heavy load on my 7300/200 was 8 audio tracks with a compressor or eq per track. That same load on my PB 667 is very light. Heavy now is ~24 tracks, compressor, delay or eq on every track, a ton of edits and automation, and a real nice reverb on the master fader. This might be a light load on a PB 1.25 or a piece of cake on a dual g5 2Ghz. That 7300 used to encode 64kbps mp3s at around 1-2x speed. My 667 does the same job at 5-12x. I could edit little 320x240 quicktim movies and a text effect would take about 20sec to render. My 667 doing DV takes about 3sec. As CPUs get more powerful, the load tends to move along with it. On Sat, 27 Mar 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I feel that all this talk of the iBooks and G3 units as useful only for light this and that is nonsense. Only a few short years ago, G3 chips were the top of the Mac food chain. At that time G2s were only for light so and so. Fact is, G3s handle heavy work just fine. In some cases, the jobs take a little longer...that's all. In some cases, a G3 will perform even faster. A 900mhz G3 will perform all functions more swiftly than a 500mhz G4, all other elements being equal. So, the real issues in choosing between an iBook and a Powerbook are extended desktop use, professional connectivity and presentation issues, required time to get jobs done, appearance and one other caveat: The iBooks have been suffering from a hinge problem wherein the hinge eventually cuts through the cable bundle that wires the screen to the mainboard. Once cut through, expecially the power cable, it shorts the entire system. That is what has been causing all the MoBo failures in the iBook line. Apple won't admit it, despite their limited recall, and all the discussion sites and boards are speculating about bad mainboards and so on, but it's scissored cable junctions, hands down. As to if the new iBooks have finally addressed this time will tell. But it is an expensive mitigating factor and one I don't want to have to go through again. on 3/26/04 9:52 AM, Nick Marshall [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 09:07:08 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: laptop comparison?

Re: DVD on Wallstreet
well it is the os 9 boot cd that came when i orderd os 10and since i never had to specify a computer im guessing its as generic as you get how would i check my hard drive??? could it be a firmware thing..the harddrive was upgraded when i got my wallstreat and has been giving me all sorts of problems ever since..the guy that owned it before me diddent know much about this stuffcouse he put a 512mb ram in it and it can only reconise 256 so im guessing he diddent do something wright after he swapped the old hd for a 20 gig toshiba can anyone think on how id fix it?? n when i try to boot into nine it starts up, shows the happy computer...then the screen goes all weird and flickery then it boots up into 10 On Sunday, August 31, 2003, at 08:06 pm, Krevnik wrote: Well, you will need a generic 9.x install CD... ones that come with a specific machine (other than your Wallstreet) will not boot.

Re: Powerbook (firewire) power adaptor failure
I had the same problem, that Yoyo sucks. I'm on my second one in 3 years. Got a repllacement from an Apple dealer for CA$120. N on 8/31/03 2:04 AM, Brian Burge Hendrix at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings, The yo-yo adaptor on my pismo died today. For the last week or so I've noticed that it's been very particular about sending power to the machine, even when it appeared to be plugged in (at both ends). After some experimentation with a multimeter and checking the specifications for various Apple power adaptors, I've found that the power adaptor for a 1400/cs --- model no. M4896 --- is a (temporary?) solution. The machine is running fine and appears to be charging the battery. Two questions: 1. Is running off the 1400/cs adaptor a bad idea? I needed to do so for at least long enough to transfer some important files from the pismo to my ipod in case the machine has further problems. Apple's support site says the pismo takes 1.2 (1.3?) amps, but the adaptor that came with it was labelled as giving 1.87 or so amps ... just like the 1400/cs adaptor. The older G3 powerbooks are listed as being compatible with the 1400/cs adaptor, but the G3 (firewire) isn't. So, should I stop using the 1400/cs adaptor immediately? 2. Where might one buy an inexpensive, durable power brick for the pismo. Apple Canada wants $140 for a new yo-yo adaptor, and I don't trust the design of that particular adaptor. I searched the list archives, but I couldn't come up with a search term that worked, even though I'm certain that I've heard this problem mentioned several times. Email responses would be best if I'm putting my pismo at risk by running on the 1400/cs adaptor, since I'm getting list digests. Thanks, Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: reccomendation, replacement for 1400?
The 12 PB has no PC card slot. But if you are using them only for data transfer, u could use a USB card reader...so I'd go for the 12 for portability. You don't have to be a power user to use OS X, no point in staying with OS 9 unles you have some specific software that only runs in OS 9. OS X is so much more stable. I can't remember the last time I had to reboot my Pismo on OS X (except when installing some software that requires restarting), I just sleep it. Instant on.

Re: Reviving Pismo Battery?

This is my first post here, so hopefully I don't break too many rules... ;-) I have a Pismo (Rev. B)/400 that I love dearly. It has been a great computer for the year and a half that I have owned it (purchased new right after the first TiBooks were introduced). The computer still runs like a champ and I am really enjoying Mac OS X 10.2.3 on it. I have, however, run into a problem that I hoped wouldn't surface so soon. My battery life is going down the proverbial toilet. A few months ago, I could get 2-2.5 hours of battery life during pretty heavy usage (web-browsing over Airport, checking e-mail, running several applications at once including some development environments and graphics apps). Now, however, I'm lucky to get 45 minutes out of a full battery. Although I'm afraid I may be out of luck, my hope is that this might be something correctable. I remember that my PowerBook 1400 could run a utility from Apple called Battery Reset that would force the battery to completely discharge and then charge again. This had the effect of removing the battery memory effect that could cause lower battery-life. I was hoping that something similar existed for the Pismo. However, I have been unable to find anything similar to this at all. Am I out of luck? Am I stuck attached to the cord until I can afford a hundred dollars and change for a new battery?

It goes without saying, but don use it *as* a yo-yo ( a friend of mine cracked his in half doing that). And the iBook's battery now has a scant charge-life of about 20 minutes. Could the faulty adapters have cut into the battery's life? Or is a year of daily use about all one can expect from an iBook (SE) battery? My 2 year old PowerBook's battery loses half of its charge sleeping overnight. They wear out after a while. From what I've heard, Apple will replace them when under warrantee. Good luck!

I only use this machine for web surfing, email, and writing, with the occaisonal bit of HTML and Photoshopping. I'll probably upgrade the RAM when I can find a low profile 256MB chip at the right price. A G4 upgrade may be a dead end given the video card in this machine (PCI based, no OS X drivers still). If they were around $299 like the Pismo G4 upgrades, I'd probably bite in a minute, but $379-399 is too steep for me. _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx My advice is to Max your RAM and get a bigger faster hard drive.

Re: OS X 10.2
Anyone beta-tested Jaguar on a Pismo? If so, how does it run? nick on 8/14/02 10:22 AM, Jeremy Derr at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: During a break from Jedi Training, I heard Gregory Cortelyou [EMAIL PROTECTED] say: I don't know if it was on another list or on Apples OSX forum site but I read a post the other day from a guy who had called Apple and that he was told on the phone that yes indeed 9.2.2 was included with Jaguar. Personally I don't care as I do own 9.2 but will the classic environment still work if they have decided to completely abandon OS9? Lot's of people saying different things with great certainty makes for a lot of confusion to be sure. I hope I haven't added too much to that confusion. Maybe you should just call Apple too and let us know what they said. Greg Cortelyou Jaguar will not come with a full copy of OS 9. The OS X installer will install (if necessary) enough of OS 9 to run the Classic Environment. Something to this extent was said at WWDC. You can see references to this on MacInTouch at http://www.macintouch.com/mosxreaderjaguar06.html and other links, too. Someone couldn't find it, but most of these sites have search features But let's get the info straight from the horse's mouth: http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/specs.html Ordering Information: Mac OS X version 10.2 Jaguar (single user) Contents Mac OS X CDs Developer Tools CD user documentation so... you get the OS X CDs, the Dev Tools CD, and documentation. That's it. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo power problem

The pismo then shut off and is now totally dead...no power at allThe one thing I checked immediately was that the ac was in a working socket since the yo-yo was cold...as if it had not been on at all. Evidently it failed when I plugged it into the wall and now I have no way to charge the dead battery. Has anyone had this happen and also, do you think this is covered under Applecare? Regards, Mike K Yeah, I had my power cut off and I had sparking in the wire at the computer-end then no power at all. All due to the poor design of the power supply unit. Flimsy cord that obviously won't last more than a couple of years. I had to shell out US$80 for a new unit that prolly won't last more than a year. nick -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
