security for Pismo?

2003-02-05 Thread Jeff Abbott
Can someone recommend a good security cable for when you're traveling for a Pismo? Kensington's site lists products suitable for the Lombard, but not for the Pismo (same case, I guess). I'm looking for something that would allow me to leave my Pismo in a hotel room with a bit more confidence.

upgrade path for Pismo

Going through the archive and the recent discussion on putting OS X on Pismos, I feel fairly confident in installing OS X Jaguar on my 400 Mhz, 320 MB RAM Pismo, that the system can handle it fine. But if, after adding OS X, I want to add on additional RAM or upgrade the processor, should one

Jeff, I recently upgraded my Lombard to run Jag. Did a memory upgrade first, 192 --512. Then loaded Jag. This is a great combination. The memory upgrade was easy, just make sure you buy the memory from a dealer company that specializes in memory not a general hardware software supplier. The

Cable or not I would not recommend leaving laptop in hotel room except for the briefest of times (15 minutes or less) otherwise I would try safe if laptop fits or see if hotel has a larger safe available behind front desk. I will say that both Kensington and Targus have excellent products --

Hard disk upgrade for pismo

2003-02-05 Thread muir mackean
I have a Pismo 400 mhz running OS 9.1/384mb/6GB HD. I would like to upgrade the HD to at least 20GB to accommodate my ever increasing MP3 library. Does anyone have experience of doing this in England ? What are the choices of manufacturer ? Dealers ? Cost ? Is the installation simple or tricky ?

Is the installation simple or tricky ? I thought it was relatively simple. The only trick is you need a torx screwdriver. Over in the USA the IBM Travelstar GNX (5400 rpm) is just $130, so why go any smaller than 40 MB? Stephen -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small

Any slim form factor 2.5 drive should work fine. I put a 20gig in my Pismo last year. Personally, I recommend Travelstars, I have found them to be very quiet and highly reliable. As for the installation, it's not too difficult, and when I did it, there were numerous sites with how-to

I second the recommendation on the Travelstar. i put in a 40GNX in about 10 minutes. All you need is a Torx T-8 and a phillips head screwdriver. -Hal On Wednesday, February 5, 2003, at 04:23 PM, RogueWriter wrote: Any slim form factor 2.5 drive should work fine. I put a 20gig in my Pismo
