Airport on Pismo probs

2003-12-29 Thread tony3ts
Since my Airport card seems to have died while installed in my Pismo, is there a PCMCIA card that I can stick in the PC slot to do the same job. (The problem is that the catd is not recognised as being installed, not that reception is poor...). Would I need special software? Where in the UK

G3 Powerbook blinking question mark problem solved!

Hi everybody, I just wanted to report that I solved the non-booting, blinking question mark problem I had with my just-purchased Powerbook G3 (Lombard). The problem was not caused by using my PM 7300 to install system software on the GB Powerbook, but by installing OS 8.5 itself. I learned

How do I get rid of the blinking question mark?

2003-12-29 Thread Frank Cornew
Think what happened was that you installed a system that is PowerMac 7300 specific, given that it was the CPU in control when you installed 8.5. The installer was under the impression that the Lombard was an external SCSI drive on the PM 7300. The Lombard therefore does not recognize the

Buffalo Card on a WS G3

Does anyone know if a Buffalo Wireless Card 54 GHz card can be used on a WallStreet PowerBook G3? I am using OS 9.2.2 and an Airport Extreme Base Station. I know Orinoco works. The wireless card is WLI-CB-G54A. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Byron -- G-Books is sponsored by

Re: Buffalo Card on a WS G3

2003-12-29 Thread Krevnik
802.11g cards do no work under MacOS 9 currently. The Buffalo card does work with the Airport 3.1 drivers (available under 10.2.6 or later), but those drivers were never back-ported to OS 9. So, if you want to go 802.11g on the WS, you have to upgrade to Jaguar (or Panther with XPostFacto).

Okay, that answers that. Thanks. Now, how can I get the Buffalo card to work with my 15 Aluminum PB in the cardbus port? I put it in and it won't startup. I can later add it and it recognizes the PC card but can't get it to find the base station. Byron On Dec 29, 2003, at 7:40 PM, Krevnik

Hmm, does the AlBook have an Airport Extreme card installed? The thing that hits me is the idea that the card isn't exactly what you want to use in a machine that can take an Airport Extreme card. On Dec 29, 2003, at 6:43 PM, B Gardner wrote: Okay, that answers that. Thanks. Now, how can I
