Re: Recall on AC adaptor for older G3s

What a great and useful list this is. Who knows how and when I would have heard otherwise about this recall -- for which my G3 Series Wallstreet does qualify. Thanks to RyanLee for posting this. > http://www.safetyalerts.com/recall/p/013/01188.htm CM -- G-Books is sponsored by

Re: PC Card Adapter

Cathy, My Pismo sees my PC card adapter as soon as I insert (has to be pressed in hard) it with the CF card without having to restart. The adapter is hard to insert all the way, which puts the cheap little eject button at risk when you extract the adapter. I am running 9.0.4 on a Pismo 400, 512 me

PC Card Adapter

We just got our first digital camera (finally) and I have a SanDisk PC Card Adapter that I'm using with the compact flash. I can't get the compact flash to mount - Apple System Profiler sees the card itself, but it won't mount until I restart - then it mounts right on startup. I have a Pismo run

Off-Topic: Smart High Schoolers

Where I'm from, if you don't have any qualification, you don't matter. :-) Makes it really hard for me to fix people's computers a lot because #1 I'm under 18, #2, I have no college degree (starting that this summer tho) and #3 I'm too cheap. I let people pay me A LOT less than what the "computer

Re: Recall on AC adaptor for older G3s

I can't recall the exact reason for the appearance of an appliance being 'not grounded' but they really are. Something about the internal circuitry... and it gets grounded thru the neutral prong on the plug. so while it may appear that it isn't grounded because the third leg is missing on the plug

Mine's an M5159 - it looks just like the picture and it gets warm but not the same number! Maybe I'll call anyway (my computer was bought in that time slot). Roger Shufflebottom -- G-Books is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Refu

Re: Recall on AC adaptor for older G3s

Everyone is talking about these adapters being cool - but the problem is the ones that Apple is recalling don't have a grounding plug. Check and see - all of the adapters for PPC PowerBooks that I have seen have come with a grounding plug somewhere on the plug - and even if this grounding isn't t
