Re: Beyond X.2
I think that your problem will be the ram if you try just putting a stick of ram in the lower slot and then try to install again once installed then put back any other ram and away you go . thats how i got 10.3 on the lombard i had. And if you have access to a pismo then you can stick the drive in that and put Tiger on it then drop it back in the lombard. vicki * Hey Vicki thank you for the response to my query. I'm sort of at a loss here, because I'm not good with tearing things apart and then putting them back together. I am real good with things just working because that's what they're supposed to do. I always end up having to take it to the shop after I've messed around with it. So I might as well do that in the first place. So, with that in mind perhaps I should just get rid of what looks like it might turn out to be a headache. Thanks anyway.

I have researched the archives and could not find any mention of my particular problem, so thought I would put it to the list to see whether or not some solutions could be found. Here goes; I recently acquired a 400mhz Powerbook G3 Lombard with 128mb of ram a 6gig hard drive and a DVD-ROM. I would eventually like to change out the ram and bring it up to 512mb, the DVD-ROM for a DVD/CD-RW, and replace the hard drive with a 40 gigger. But those things are for later. My main concern at the present time is that I am unable to upgrade the OS beyond 10.2. Whenever I attempt to upgrade the powerbook screen goes wonky with two lines across the screen on the gray page with the apple logo and locks up. Does this have something perhaps to do with the video and video patch I've heard about for these machines. Also, I am unable to get to the internet through my DSL modem and Linksys router. I am able to connect using my internal modem. As far as the connecting to the internet via my local lan I have no clue where to start in trouble shooting this. My Pc, 1GHZ Sawtooth, and 450 MHZ BW have no trouble connecting. Thanks in advance for any and all help. PS: Sorry for being longwinded PSS: The PC is for the DSL modem only. Do you know if the 128MB was standard or if one 64MB chip was added later? The OS X installer for the late versions is kind of picky and I've read here a lot of stories from Lombard owners that had to remove all extra memory to install a later version of OS X. After the installation, they would put back the memory and it would most of the time work. Another thing you could possibly do, if you have a Mac that has SCSI and is recent enough to install OS X would be to start your Lombard in SCSI target disk mode, then connect it to another Mac and perform the installation from that Mac. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] interrupts locked out: adj.
