[Duo2400] Re: Installing Mac OS X on Powerbook2400C

Brian, I'm thinking you'll get a KP because of the hardware makeup of the 2400. Mainly I think the video controller will cause the KP. Ryans L2 cache config works with nearly all G3 CPUs so I don't see why it wouldn't work with your G3 chip. Do you know what to do to get the OSX installer to work?

[Duo2400] Re: Installing Mac OS X on Powerbook2400C

Thanks, John. Why do you think I will get a kernel panic during start up? I don't know if Rempel's L2CacheConfig will work with the Interware G3 CPU so even if I don't get the kp it may be slow. On Friday, June 29, 2001, at 10:56 PM, John Wood wrote: > I wish you the best of luck. Rempel has m

Bill, I wish you the best of luck. Rempel has made OS X run on my 7500, and I hhope you will have good results with your test. I said nearly impossible because someone could do it if they really wanted. I think you will see a kernel panic however during the startup. Godspeed. John Wood on 6/29/

[Duo2400] Re: Ethernet & TCP/IP Stalling?

Ralph, have you tried the 2400c directly, i.e. without the router? Does it do the same thing? My RoadRunner cable in No. VA has been flawless and I have used just a hub and now a LinkSys router. On Friday, June 29, 2001, at 10:35 PM, Ralph Mawyer wrote: > I have RoadRunner cable service, using

I've been managing my frustration with this, but decided it's time to seek the wisdom of the list... I have RoadRunner cable service, using OS 8.6 through a MacSense XRouter Pro purchased from ListMom, Dr. Bott. TCP/IP has been used with the setting 'Load only when needed' both on and off, wi

I'm going to try it this weekend. 2400c/320MHz G3/112 MB RAM and Rempel's Unsuported UtilityX. I was going to do it this evening but I can't find the 2400c SCSI adapter for my CD ROM. I'll post the results. On Friday, June 29, 2001, at 10:30 PM, John Wood wrote: > Installing X on a G3 upgraded

[Duo2400] Re: Installing Mac OS X on Powerbook2400C

Installing X on a G3 upgraded 2400 would be nearly impossible. The first powerbook G3 which was based on the 3400 can't even do X. I do not have a duo anymore, or a 2400 for that matter, but with my knowledge of successful OS X installs I think you will not find any successful installs. Even if so

Hi Everybody, Does anybody out there have experience running Linux on a PowerBook 2400? I'm particularly interested in knowing if/how anyone has gotten PCMCIA support to work properly. I recently installed SuSE Linux on my 2400 and I've had nothing but frustration trying to get PCMCIA support

My 280c (upped to 2300c fairly quickly) originally had a 750 megger SCSI when I got it off eBay. I upgraded it to a 1 gig IDE and put the 750 in my 230 and put the 230's 500 megger in my other duo dock that has a dead ejection system on a 2300c logic board that doesn't light the backlight for some

If you've know where I can get one, I'd love to have 1 or 2 GB in my 230. I've been looking for many years and I *have* heard of the mythical 750MB SCSI disks but never seen one. I've never seen 1GB offered for sale (or anything larger). Kris Feldmann Thus wrote "Ben Smith \(QM Systems\)" <[EMA

Ooh, I didn't know about the EDO RAM. Yeah, the thing is that I always was affraid that there may have been some limitation in the ROM or something which limitted the 6100 to 72MB. Just buy 64 or 128MB SIMMs. They do need to be installed in pairs, but now you can have up to 264MB! It even works wi
