That's correct. VPC still emulates a S3 Trio card. The Macintosh
version is better in that it can give it more than 4 MB of RAM, but it

Hi all,
I have an icebook in which I wish to network to a PC using firewire.
What's the best application on the mac side to allow me to do this? I
usually would just network using the ethernet port, but the pc's being
used as a server and so I cannot unplug it.
Thanks in advance.

One thing that is undeniable is that they are putting the screws to
those who want to use their own version of Windows with VPC by
delaying the release of the VPC without an OS.
Understandable. One of the things that I am waiting for as well.

Not really. I know of people using VPC to run Linux or some other OS
instead of windows. It's not all that

Could also be the video cable. I've seen a Pismo 500 that locked up or shut
off when moved. I isolated it to moving the LCD rather than the whole
laptop, but haven't yet ripped it apart to verify.

Yes, the trick is to put your VPC Scripts somewhere other than in your
user's documents folder. I keep my scripts on a completely different hard
drive (using my desktop), though any shared folder would be fine. Just
double click on the actual PC (VPC document) to launch it.

Sorry, I can't help you then. On mine it works perfectly by moving the

I had an idea. Instead of dropping the big bucks for an internal burner for

Regarding the recent discussion about the latest Pismo firmware, I just

that I have Boot ROM Version 3.2.7f2.

Number Of CPUs: 1

As long as the PC Card supports USB 2, you should be fine -- although
you may need third-party CD burning software. The disadvantage of this
approach is that you'll need mains power to use the external enclosure.
