Is the pram battery automatically recharged in a Pismo? If not what is the life of the battery? Yes, it should be automatically recharged. Mine seems to have bitten the dust, though, as it doesn't do what it's supposed to. If I cut all power to the Pismo (battery and AC), the clock gets messe

Greetings. I'm having a small problem with my Pismo, which I saw last spring, and solved the first time. It was a simple fix, but I can't remember what I did and need to do it again--whatever it was. I run in "extended desktop" mode on a regular basis with an external monitor. This works fine,

Re: VPC 6 on a Pismo/400

It really depends what guest OS you try to use. I can tell you that it won't run anything above Windows 98 well on that machine, but it will run. I ran VPC 5 and 6 on a 500mHz Pismo, and the performance was slow but acceptable emulating Win98. Running Windows 2000 was painfully slow. Completely
