Re: which ipod for a Pismo?
Apple.com/support/ipod lists the system requirements. It depends more on the operating system than the machine. With 10.3 any ipod should work. Though I have a nano working on 10.2.8. Best of luck, Rick Hello, I was wondering if anyone could please tell me which version of the ipod/s would work with a 400 mhz G3 Pismo laptop, 512 mb ram, firewire and usb 1.

Re: Some questions about PB500 series batteries
The battery no longer shows up in the control strip, and none of the battery programs recognize it anymore. Oh well. -John Before you chuck this battery, try this routine. 1- Launch IBR with the right hand slot empty. 2- When asked, insert the battery. 3- You should see extended precharge 4- Let it run (maybe as long as 20 min.) 5- If it doesn't work try again. After 3 or 4 times with no success, then give up on it. Rick -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Intelligent Battery
Try launching IBR with the right battery slot empty. When promted insert a batt. in the right slot. You should then see Extended Precharge. It may take 10-15 min. but after that it should at least show up in the control strip. If it doesn't work the first time -TRY AGAIN- Rick I was wondering if there was any other way to charge the 500 series intelligent batteries without having them in the computer and without a fancy external charger. My batteries are so dead that the computer won't even recognize them, and I am hoping that I can get enough power to them to get the computer to recognize them and I could use EMMpathy or LIND Battery Utilities to fix them. P.S. Intelligent Battery Recondition recognizes the batteries but says they can't be fixed. P.P.S.

Re: pb 520 hinge questions x2
Lowes etc. have nylon screws and nuts, I never liked to add any more metal inside or thru the case. I made a similar fix to a PB 180. The lower case housing has sunken holes for the screws. The bottom of it had broken so there was no where for the screw to press against. I got a large thin washer and counter sunk the hole. Then I put a long countersunk screw through the washer, through the lower housing and into the threaded insert in the upper housing. It is thin enough to clear a desktop because of the feet. It isn't pretty either but it's on the bottom so it's easy to forget it's there. -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re:

Re: OS 7.0.1 and PB 145- need help w/disk image
I have downloaded the OS files and they were decompressed by Stuffit. I have Disk Copy 6.3.3 installed. I seem to be doing something wrong when trying to disk copy each part to a floppy disk. I have tried simply dbl clicking on the first file- that creates a large disk image on my desktop, but no way will it fit onto a floppy. Opening Disk Copy and asking it to mount a disk does the same. I have also tried simply copying each part as downloaded onto floppies, but my machine won't boot it. (For these testing purposes I am usiing a dl of 7.5.3 and a pb 180 assuming the process would be the same for my intended project. Can anyone refresh me on exactly to go about transferring these multi-part downloads onto floppies the first of which will boot and begin install of an OS. Thanks for your time. Try booting from the 7.5 Network Access floppy then transferring the parts via floppy disk. Network access is in the utilities section of the Apple older software page.

from what I've read online, a 540c can't play MP3's. Is this correct? When I re-installed System 7.5, it installed Apple's CD Audio Player. But this is useless to me because I don't have a CD hooked up to the 540c. You can try MpegDEC 2.5.3 for mp3's. Performs OK on my 540c except for an occasional gap due to slow HD. I've still to try it from an ext. drive 8-) When I had to wipe the the Hard drive I lost the modem drivers and anything internet related. The modem is a early model Global Village internal. Beyond that, I don't know much about it. Try http://ftp.globalvillage.com for modem SW, go all of the way thru to disk images for PP500 disk image. As for internet, I need something like PPP and MacTCP. right? Try FreePPP 2.6.2, works fine on my machine. The TCP/IP control panel should have been installed with the system.

Re: 540c acting up
Hi, Could possibly be poorly seated RAM, making an intermittant connection. RAM failure should give an 8 tone chime of death, 4 tones usually means a hardware failure. Can you access the HD when booted from the floppy? If so you should at least be able to do a backup at this point. If you have the whole system on floppys you could try reinstalling it. That shouldn't hurt the data. Apple has a 500 series service manual available for DL. Shows takeapart procedures, troubleshooting, etc. Best of luck, Rick -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Installing OS 7.5
According to Apple, an enabler is only required for Sys. 7.1 7.6.1 runs fine on my 540c without one. Look here for more info: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=8970 Rick Dan, Actually, I'm installing from floppies, not CD. At what point do I need to get the enabler, and where and how do I install it? I know I'll need to get it from Apple's FTP, but I imagine I can handle that. Do I install it before installing the OS itself? Thanks for the help, it's appreciated. The Winfidel -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 520c Ethernet
I'm running 7.6.1 on my 540c and have it connected via ethernet to an 8500/G3. Make sure ethernet is turned on in the extension manager. Also make sure you have the proper cable type. A patch cable only works with a router. I believe the one I had to get was called crossover or maybe straight thru. The wires are arranged differently in the plug ends. Good Luck, Rick Bookies, I've chugged away and got this little book running 7.6 (19 home made floppies) but I can't get ethernet going. It's been a while since I used OS 7.6, but I think I have everything set right. When I try to set the book's AppleTalk to ethernet, I get an error has occurred message. AppleTalk is active, got a transceiver hooked up to the book's AAUI and a rj-45 over to a G3. Got them to talk via Local talk/printer port, but no go on the ethernet. -- All the Best, R.A.

Re: 1400 from Timco Computers
DL the 7.5 Network Access boot floppy. Ric -- Here's the other issue to all those that can help... I recently purchased a 1400cs/177/16/770 from Timco computers out of Seattle. The computer arrived the other day, only to find out that the computer used to be owned by one of the local school districts, and was passworded giving no access to the system folder, control panels, extensions etc.. No problem I thought, setup a simple appletalk, go over and blow out the password program. No dice, completely killed os 8.0. That's not what I wanted to happen. So being that I do not own a copy of os8 ( OS9, but 16megs won't install) So I jumped over to apple's website and d/l'ed 7.5.3. with the 7.5.5updater. The problems is, I don't know how I can split it to individual floppies to install it on the 1400.. I do not currently have a burner in the 8600 to burn the image.. So does anyone know how to split the image into floppies? Or how to make a boot floppy to install? -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 540c and internet
Check the browser prefs to make sure they're not setup to use a proxy server. Ric ---Okay here's the deal. I recieved my 540c the other day and after unpakcing it from the box, tried to get it up and running on the internet. Well PPP establishes a connection.
