Two Weeks with 12" PB

Today marks the passage of two weeks since I switched back from Windows to Macintosh. I'm still learning my way about in OS X (Panther) but its becoming second nature. The various apps are the easy part, as Word, Excel and the like may look a little different, but are essentially the same. W

Pismo Trouble

Yesterday my Pismo G3 Firewire Powerbook (running 10.3.2) started doing something funny. It has started to arbitrarily shut itself off at seemingly random intervals. One moment it's apparently working fine, the next it's dead--the screen goes black and the drive stops abruptly with a sharp

Re: Battery Reset for Pismo

Heck if I know if I even need MacsBug, but I figured if I could trap the sysenvirons calls and see the differences between Lombard's and Pismo's responses I'd have some good pointers as to the actual mechanism used to differentiate the PBs. It's fun to play with actually, once you know a few basic

Hmmm, I'm thinking (uh-oh!! :-) since the PB-to-battery comm is done over a serial interface, might it be possible to directly capture (on Lombard of course) what BR 'says' to the battery and then use that to connect to, and reset, a battery over an external serial interface? Not that Pismo _ha

The problem is you have two routers and you don't need two routers. I'm guessing you need more ports. The thing to do would be to add a simple hub to the Airport. Since you can't get the Airport to not act as a router see if your other router (D-Link was it?) can act as a hub only. If not, j
