I know I could buy her a new DVD drive for the Pismo, either s/hand
via eBay or even (at considerable expense...) new. But this is an old
machine, and I'm not sure I want to spend too much money keeping it

The DVD drive on my daughter's Pismo is showing signs of failure -
about 50% of the time it won't read a CD when it's put into the drive.
The drive whirrs but it's obviously not findin

See reply to Laurent regarding thermistors.
And yes, I did report the running temperature as 143 degrees F.

Thanks Anne. Yes, I found Temperature Monitor but it does not support
the sensors on the WS.
And yes, It is Gauge Pro from Newer Tech. It appears to work

With the G4/500 it shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know about the

A recent post got me to thinking about
getting an external DVD-R/RW drive for my
Wall Street.
I have a USB 1.1 CardBus
adapter, a CPU upgrade to G4/500, and
an external 17" monitor.
But is the Wall Street fast enough to
play a DVD disk?

Cool. Thanks for the suggestion. I booted back into 9 and
am currently running 143 degrees F. When you're using your laptop,
does the fan ever come on?
