Also, when I put the Orinoco card in my WS while running 9, it shows 
up as an Airport card.  Will the airport software be just fine with 
this card ?



Yes, indeed they are the same thing: have a look at my page on this topic:

Re: Wi-fi card for OS X on Wallstreet?

[Tom and Lisa P]

What's the best PC card solution for wi-fi on Wallstreet running OS 
X? Anyone know of hacked drivers for the Orinoco cards?  If not, is 
it possible to use original AirPort card via a PCMCIA adapter? 
Suggestions on best places to shop for any needed hardware?

To add to Gene's question, whats a good card that works under X and 9 ?

Also, when I put the Orinoco card in my WS while running 9, it shows 
up as an Airport card.  Will the airport software be just fine with 
this card ?

The only one I know that works is the DLink 122 Not that it will only 
work in WEP mode, not WPA.

Thanks, I just saw - after I posted - in a search on DealMac that Fry's 
Outpost.com has the Belkin for $17 shipped after rebate 
(), and a search on its model # 
brought up the Belkin specs page which labeled it as OS X compatible - 
so I'm on the verge of ordering it, especially after hearing you've had 
such good luck with it!

Luis,
  Just to clarify your point a little bit. I'm not sure I would say 
"many" work right out of the box with the drivers built into the OS." 
I would be more inclined to say a "few" do. Only the ones that use 
the Broadcom chipset. There are a handful that I'm aware of that do. 
But there are a bunch of others out there that will work, but need a 
3rd-party driver.

Anne, if you want a PC WiFi card that works with the Apple OS X 
drivers, in addition to the Belkin that Luis recommended above, you 
might want to take a look at the Buffalo PC WLI-CB-G54A (-3  I 
believe) card. They are very Mac friendly to boot.

Good Luck in your quest,


Bob

Anne,
I concur with Mikael, But if you want to do more research, you can 
find information and URLs for just about everything you wanted to 
know, but were afraid to ask  on Ken Vann's comprehensive 
PowerBook WiFi site



This site is fairly new, but it is being recommended again and again 
on the list. Ken has put a lot of work into compiling the best 
information that he can find. Plus he's a list-member. :-)

Check it out.

Re: X on Wallstreet

[Luis Sequeira]

The one think I want to add is a wireless card (for the internet radio
& allrecipes.com/epicurious.com), which I haven't done yet.  I
understand going to X complicates this, but I've only done casual
reading, not serious research, so far.
I'll report back how I do, when I get around to actually doing this. 
(Right now I'm redoing my house so there's no room on the kitchen
counter for even a laptop.)  If anyone has any comments on this use,

Anne
Actually, going into X does NOT complicate the matter of adding a 
wireless card.
Many cards just work right out of the box with the drivers built into the OS.
I have a Belkin 802.11g card that works like a charm (either on my 
Wallstreet or on my TiBook, both running OS X Panther) ; and I know 
several others also work, but you should check before you buy, of 
course.

I'm going to X instead of 9 because I've been putting recipes into Yum!

Unless there's any sentimental attachment to the machine, Laurent's 
advice is very sound. A 500MHz G4 upgrade, the fastest available for 
the Wallstreet, will cost you upwards of $300 -- and it still won't 
enable you to run OS X particularly well. Add to that the cost of 
upgrading the RAM (256MB is about the minimum), and you're already more 
than a third of the way towards getting a brand-new iBook, with 
wireless networking, a processor more than twice as fast, probably 5-8 
times the hard disk space, a vastly better video card, and full support 
for current and future versions of OS X. Even an older iBook, say 
500-700MHz, would be much faster in OS X than an upgraded Wallstreet -- 
and probably wouldn't cost much more than $350, either.

That said, a Wallstreet can be a worthwhile OS X machine for some 
purposes (mainly office applications like e-mail, web browsing, word 
processing, and so forth). The 266MHz processor is fine, and as long as 
you've got at least 256MB RAM (and a hard drive large enough to store 
OS X -- about 1GB  plus 1GB or so for swapfiles and temporary usage -- 
and your applications and documents), you should be set. A 300MHz 
processor card goes for twice as much as a 266MHz on eBay, so it's 
probably not really worth it for the hypothetical 10% speed boost. Note 
also that most 266MHz cards can be overclocked to at least 300MHz 
without much effort, although there is some soldering required.

Cheers,
Ben

Officially, 10.2.8 (AKA Jaguar) is the highest you can put in a Wallstreet.
However, many Wallstreet owners have been able to put the most recent OS X
release using XPostFacto, with varying degrees of success...

If you could upgrade the processor for the 300MHz for cheap, then I think it
would be worth it, but I'm not sure buying a brand new G4 upgrades is. You
are still left with a sub-par video system that can't be upgraded and a

Just my $0.02...

What is the highest X that I can put on my Wallstreet 266?

Is it worth upgrading the processor?

Re: x on wallstreet

[Peter Chastain]

Nope, nothing special, outside of XPostFacto.  In fact, 10.3 was 
installed onto a freshly formatted and partitioned HDD.  Of course, I 
had to install OS 9 first, so it could boot in the first place.  OS 9 
and 10 are on different partitions, and even though my HDD is not over 
8GB, I installed 10 on the first partition, just in case.

I use both FW and USB 2 cards with my XPostFacto'd Wallstreet 300

10.3.4.  Both work great, provided I put them in the upper slot.
However, printing is broken, and VPC won't boot Win98; it has to be

peter, did you have to use any special p-lists or make any adjustments 
to
enable the cage to work?

You may well want to reconsider. 10.1 and 10.2 should have really been 
numbered 10.1 and 10.5, a la 8.1 and 8.5...there was that much 
difference between them.

OSX 10.2 is quite a bit faster, more stable and more compatible with 
lots of stuff than 10.1 ever was.

OS X on WallStreet

The "fuss" is that some WallStreets simply will not allow installation of 
OS X without a third-party utility such as XPostFacto -- this despite the 
fact that Apple claims the PowerBook G3 Series is fully supported by OS X.

Mac OS X on WallStreet

[macnifico]

A few months ago I installed Mac OS X.1.5 on my WallStreet II, 266 MHz, 
256Mb, 20 Gb.
No problems, except that it doesn't support the DVD player or the USB 
and FireWire PC Cards that I have. My PC Card modem was supported only 
in v.X.1.5 with a generic driver that didn't had the speed of the 
original driver, and the worst was that the graphics were kinda slow, so 
slow that I erased the whole HD and reinstalled Mac OS 9.2.1.
I've been very happy ever since.
But IF I get another, newer PB, I want to install X.2.x.
But not on my WallStreet.
Best regards.
