Re: Modem Options - Serial Port or PCMCIA?

2003-07-14 Thread Jay Snyder 
An external connected to the serial port will be a lower cost option, as the PCMCIA 
expansion modules are made from unobtanium.

Re: PowerBook G3 Series & Mac OS 10.2.6 Brightness problem

2003-06-29 Thread Jay Snyder 
I had 10.2.2 on a Lombard, and then when I try to upgrade it to 10.2.4, it had 
problems booting.I think that 10.2.2 might be the best bet for older Powerbooks.

Re: PowerBook G3 Series & Mac OS 10.2.6 Brightness problem

2003-06-28 Thread Jay Snyder 
This is a quirk with OSX on the wallstreet, and your PRAM battery is also probably bad.

Boot into OS9 (8 might work too), then boot into OSX, and that should fix it until you 
powerdown again.

If it isn't remembering the date & time, and also has trouble with powerup from 
battery, then your PRAM battery is probably bad.

The pismo runs OSX very well (I'm using my pismo right now with OSX 10.2 and airport).
