I had the same problem on my Wallstreet, it got worse and worse using larger and larger shims until I finally gave up and bought a ethernet PCICMA card which is much cheaper than fixing the port. Hope this helps Regards Graham -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog

To move your stuff from one PowerBook to the other, use one of them in Firewire target mode. Restart then immediately press the 'f' key until you see the Firewire symbol on screen. You can then connect it to a Firewire Macintosh with a regular cable and the hard disk should appear on the desktop.

Virtual PC/Pismo 400/Panther

When I suggested a glue gun I was not trying to be facetious. Glue guns are amazing things and you do not need a rubber foot underneath them. As Phil suggested, the glue itself is the foot. You can shape it any way you want--but I suggest not using your fingers to shape the glue unless

The 10GB in the Pismo is 4200rpm because that is the only speed Apple shipped in them. Unless you replaced it at some point. I believe the drives in all G3 iMacs were 5400rpm but I could be wrong on that point. MacTracker notes drive speeds on main models, you might try there. David On Nov
