Hmm.  I think you meant to send your email here 
 instead.

iMovie 3 on PowerBook G4

[Esver Camacho]

I'm disappointed that the new iMovie 3.0.1 suddenly made my PowerBook 
G4 (800 Mhz) feel old. I normally zip through iMovie 2 but this 
latest version turned my PowerBook into a dinosaur. Not only that but 
iMovie 3 appears to require rendering of photos through the Ken Burns 
effect even for simple placement on the timeline. In iMovie 2 you 
just placed the photos without wasting time rendering, making the 
laying out and transitioning of photos faster. You also were able to 
adjust the time on screen of the photo clip by entering 
seconds:frames. This is crucial for timing the appearance of photos 
with a music track or a voice-over. The current method of setting the 
time, rendering, resetting the time and re-rendering it too 
cumbersome. I hope they come out with a faster revision and fix that 
photo placement method.

I think I'll stick with iMovie 2 for awhile.

Re: PBG3,Charging Problem

[Andrew Kershaw]

John,

It sounds like either the battery or the Wallstreet's charge 
card/power supply board is faulty.  Welcome to the club.  Heh, don't 
get me started on Wallstreets and battery problems!  :-D

You might get better help from the g-books list, since they actually 
have PowerBook G3 Series machines over there...  Not to mention that 
this subject is technically off-topic for this list...

Subscribe 
Send to 

If you actually get any answers that help (other than the usual 
helpful "Try swapping batteries/powerbooks with known good parts"), 
please let me know.  I've been dealing with this issue on my 
Wallstreet for a while now, and I don't know anyone else with whom I 
can trade parts.

Peace,
Drew

Re: Wireless with a 190cs

[Andrew Kershaw]

Hmm, it sounds like you downloaded the drivers for the Proxim 
(Farallon) SkyLINE card, NOT the WaveLAN Silver.  The SkyLINE and 
WaveLAN are NOT the same card.

I don't know what is going on with Proxim and the Orinoco/WaveLAN 
brand, but it looks like Proxim owns the brand name now (as of August 
2k2).  So I can see how it would be easy to get confused.  A quick 
search of Proxim's support section didn't turn up anything promising. 
(I found the 7.1 and 7.2 version drivers, but these apparently don't 
support the 5300 and 1400, and doubtless the 190 as well).  I have a 
WaveLAN driver CD-ROM (came with my card when I bought it way back 
when).  It has version 6.x (6.2?) drivers on it, and DOES support the 
190 (though not the 5x0 series).  If you want, I can email the 
drivers to you.

LET ME KNOW _OFF-LIST_ IF YOU WANT THE DRIVERS.

If there is enough demand, and if the license agreement does not 
forbid it, I will also post these drivers on my website...  It seems 
like users of older books are becoming more and more subject to 
obsolescence.  *Sigh*  My 5300ce still has a lot of kick in it...

Peace,
Drew

Hi Aly -- Take a look at



They say they'll rebuild a 1400 battery for $84 plus $5 shipping -- it'll be
better than "new" (probably) because any "new" 1400 battery you might come
on has undoubtedly been sitting on the shelf somewhere for years and more or
less exhausted from boredom if nothing else.

Best,
Victoria

I just rebuilt one using cells from DigiKey.com, part: P018T-ND 4/3A Nickel
Metal Hydride.

The case comes apart easily with some careful prying and pulling then it's
a matter of pulling the connections off the cells with fine-nosed pliers,
and soldering the new cells in place. Pay careful attention to polarity.
Make a diagram of the original configuration if you need to. Since the new
cells have their own protective covering, there is no need to replace the
cardboard tube covers. Just make sure the center connections don't stick
out to far and short against each other. Shorting these cells would be bad
(see Ghostbusters for definition of "bad").

These packs are much easier to rebuild than the 500 series packs.

Good luck!,

Firewire 2.3.3

[Gerald R . Homeyer]

Hi again!
Would like to use a firewire harddrive to backup my PM 8500 and PB 3400c 
harddrive partitions. I've downloaded Firewire 2.3.3 and extracted the 
following extentions using Tome Viewer
Firewire Enabler
Firewire Cardbus Enabler
Firewire Support
I put them in the extention folder on both computers. I've been looking 
at Belkin and Orange micro PCI and PCMCIA cards. Would appreciate any 
advice, suggestions etc to set up and use this method. Will these three 
extentions in the extentions folder allow me to use these cards and 
firewire harddrive? Appreciate the benefit of your experience. Thanks, 
Gerald

oops, should have scrolled to see the other posts :)

the batteries Plus shop in town will do the spot welding for you, I was
thinking of doing all the disassembly and just hauling the bits in :)

You'd think someone would have a web page with photos/specifications by now
but I've not found one yet.

Re: 1400- battery rebuild

[Brian]

Do you know what cell they put in it?

One online rebuilder said on their page that they don't do 1400 batteries
any longer as they had problems with the "chip".  I've rebuilt some battery
packs for other things and was thinking of trying to find the specs for the
replacement cells, and having BatteriesPlus order some in for me.

thanks,

Brian
