I haven't experienced any problems whatsoever (as well as all the other upgrades). I have only installed it on my iBook DVD 500 with 640 Megs RAM since I am in Kuwait right now and the rest of my Macs are back home being used by the Wife and Kid. They will probably update theirs when Jaguar is

Anyone spring for one of these yet? I'm just wondering what kind of real world performance differences I could expect, not really running anything all that processor intensive outside of iTunes (yet). I wanna go for it, but part of me thinks it's just upgradeitis. I'm kind of curious about

Re: Powerbook not booting from CD-R

2002-06-21 Thread Michael Bryan Bell
If the computer boots to a commercial CD, then there's not likely anything wrong with the PowerBook, but rather it's likely that it's something wrong with the CD you're using and/or the way it was burned. One other thing to look at is that sometimes, depending on the burner/media combination

Expansion Devices for Pismo/Lombard

2002-06-21 Thread Jim
Hello listers, There were a series of posts awhile back discussing various expansion bay drives for the Pismo/Lombard Powerbooks, and I have actually been using an MCE expansion bay housing (that cost $90) with an extra 2.5 drive I've had around. This got me to wondering... since the VST

Apple just (Friday evening) released a patch for 10.1.5 that is supposed to fix some things. Go to your Software Update utility and download it; maybe it will solve the troubles you've experienced. As an aside, I wonder if Apple scheduled the release for after-business-hours in order to

Wow. Thanks a lot Michael. That was all really useful. I think I'd rather go with a new 700Mhz iBook with the better video card than upgrade my pismo... I think there would be a greater speed difference and if I sold my pismo on ebay I'd only be spending one or two hundred dollars more

Expected Performance (was: Re: Pismo G4 upgrade - results?)

2002-06-21 Thread Jeff Szuhay
You have a 400mhz G3, and this would be a 500mhz G4. That is a 25% clock rate increase. You can expect (because you are plugging it into an older architecture) around a 20% speed increase across the board when you factor in the limitations of your drive/bus speeds and video card. Hmm... mostly

Yes, A kernel exception always occurs if I try to drag a file out of a Eudora window when the computer is connected to a Win2K shared volume. Also, OS-9 only rarely boots with extensions turned on. This started happening around 10.3 or 10.4. I've done clean installs of OS-9 from the CD/ web

I have heard that 3 hours in the freezer, followed by a flat drop from a few feet up onto a hard surface will break away the dendrites that form on the opposing plates, reducing the battery's effectiveness. My one attempt by my wife hit on the corner shattered my battery. I've not heard of any
