The hardware should be. Problems are more likely to be caused by
drivers.

Here is D-Link's product page on the card:
http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=DWL%2D520%2B
It looks like unless there's an unofficial Mac driver, you're out of
luck.

It looks like it's supported by FreeBSD:

but I couldn't find any evidence it's been ported to MacOS X (which is
AFAIK based on a fairly ancient version of FreeBSD anyway).

Re: usb printer on 9.1/9.2 network

Hi Everyone,

Tom Lewis, in beautiful Jervis Bay, NSW, Oz


Tom, I too would like to understand the mysteries of USB Printer
Sharing.

I have a blue clamshell ibook (9.2.2) and want to link it to a HP 1200
laser printer, and have my g3 bronze Powerbook (9.2.2) print to it
also. Reading MacHelp it says only that USB printer sharing can be done
if you are on a TCP/IP network (doesn't say it can't be done on an
appletalk network but doesn't say it can either). Is this true? If so,
how does one tell one has set up a TCP/IP network? MacHelp is anything
but. Can anyone direct me to references on how to share a USB printer
on a 9.2 ethernet based network? I couldn't get it to happen though
went through all the steps in the Help. No relevant refs turned up in
the Apple TIL either. TIA,
David


I've used USB printer sharing with a Brother HL-1240 and a number of 
iMacs running Mac OS9.


This is what I did:
1. Setup the physical network.  Each iMac had an ethernet cable that 
went from the Mac to an ethernet hub/switch.
2. Setup the TCP/IP addresses.  I allocated each computer an IP address 
manually.  Control Panels > TCP/IP.  Select Configure Manually, IP 
address 192.168.0.x (x is different for each machine,  I started from 1 
eg 1,2,3,4), subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

3. Connected the USB printer to one Mac.
4. Installed the driver for the printer on all Macs on the network.
5. On each computer I turned on USB printer sharing. Control Panels > 
USB Printer Sharing.  Start/Stop tab, click on "Start".
6. On the computer where the printer was connected, share the printer.  
Control Panels > USB Printer Sharing.  My Printers tab.  Select the 
checkbox next to the printer that should be displayed there.
7. On all the other computers, connected to the shared printer.  
Control Panels > USB Printer Sharing.  Network Printers tab.  If the 
shared printer isn't already there, click on Add to locate the printer 
on the network.
8. On all computers, goto the chooser and select the printer.  Apple 
Menu > Chooser.  When you select the printer icon in the chooser, it 
should appear on the right hand side list of printers.


I know this is probably an abridged version of what you need to do.  
I'm also sure there's a "HowTo" on the net somewhere, but if there 
isn't, this might help.


Regards,
Paul.

RE: itunes again

[Neil.Francis]

The iTunes visualizer is supposed to be based on 'GForce' 
(http://soundspectrum.com/g-force/index.html).  There aren't any details at the 
website on how it's working but the blurb there is:
   "G-Force is the most dynamic and sophisticated, yet entirely artistic, 
music visualization available-and it keeps getting better. This is a direct 
result of creator Andy O'Meara's strong roots in mathematics and computing 
theory combined with a passion for music and visual art."

So the developers were probably very keen on having it "echo" the music!  
There's much more order in classical music, so it's probably working better 
then then with rock/pop.

I think making a better music visualiser could be an interesting project for 
maths/music/computing/engineering uni students - practical too, since 
algorithms that "understand" complicated signals like music have got to have 
uses elsewhere...

itunes again

[bill parker]

Sorry to be a pest but my questions recently about iTunes are really 
related to the phenomena I observe:


Viz:  the visualizer frequently seems to present screen patterns that 
"echo" the music or blend with it.I am not talking about regular 
rock music but rather composers like Shostakovich and Prokoviev. 
It's as if it "understands" the music.   Obviously it doesn't,  but 
I'd still like to explore the subject.


Going to the Apple web site is useless as are most others,  they do 
not answer the sort of question I am posing here.  I do not need to 
know stuff like how to organise my favourites!


Any takers on this?   The question becomes more of an artistic query.

Contemplating a New Laptop at the Bottom End of the Range?

[Richard Kay]

For those contemplating the purchase of a new laptop at the bottom end  
of the range see Ken Mingis' story entitled 'PowerBook 12 vs. iBook:  
What's a Mac fan to do?' at:


http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/os/macos/story/ 
0,10801,93110,00.html


The question posed is this: 'It's a nagging question for which there is  
seemingly no correct answer, akin to the "paper or plastic" query at  
the grocery store: PowerBook or iBook? Aluminum or polycarbonate?  
Twelve-inch or 14-inch?'

New Apple Laptops in June?

DigiTimes.com's Huang Kung Tien and Steve Shen note:

"In June, Quanta will begin delivering new notebook models to 
Hewlett-Packard (HP), Apple Computer, NEC and Sony, further helping the 
company expand its notebook shipments for the second half, market 
sources said."


Given the recent update to the iBook and PowerBook line, this may only 
be Apple shifting some PowerBook production from another subcontractor 
to Quanta. But you never can tell with Apple.

Firstly: in what way do you want this to be a UNIX question? For
example, you can mount other Macs using the Finder without having to use
UNIX commands. However, you /are/ free to use the UNIX commands (like
mount_afp, diskutil, disktool) to mount the other computers' volumes if
you /want/ to. If you have been trying the Finder but can't "see" the
other computers on your network, perhaps open the Directory Access
programme (in Utilities) to see if the necessary protocol (e.g.
AppleTalk, SMB) is enabled. If you have successfully used the Finder to
mount the networked volumes but you still want to view them in Terminal,
run `df`. It you look in the right-most column of the output, you will
see some entries starting with "/Volumes/". Each of those will
correspond to either a disk in your computer or a networked volume. You
can then `cd` to those directories and run `ls` (if this is the sort of
things you are wanting to do).

It may help whoever is able to answer to know the OS of the other
computer - MacOS 9, MacOS X, Windows 9x, Windows NT/2k/XP, Linux, etc.
Also, information about what file sharing services are enabled on the
other computer may be useful (when you access its files from the Finder,
do you use SMB, AFP, NFS, or something else?).

Most ISPs are _very_ happy to let you upgrade your account in-contract,
so long as it's to one that means you give them more money. You may wish
to ask Telstra about this - it's not like Telstra has a reputation of
turning down extra cash.

Could some unix guru tell me how to look at the directory of a drive

Unfortunately I got pissed over the Australia Day long weekend and 
accidentally 'locked' myself into a 12-month dial-up Mega Plan with 
BigPond by hitting the wrong radio button when changing my plan at the 
monthly anniversary date in February. The contract won't expire until 
February 2005.


Then it is broadband for me too!

The lesson, of course, is don't drink and surf the net at the same 
time! ;-)

If you're dialling frequently and using the Internet from home a lot, 
I can highly recommend ADSL (broadband).  Even the entry level 
offerings from a lot of providers come perilously close to the cost of 
operating a high-use dial-up account.
