My Wallstreet (266 MHz upgraded to 466 with the PowerLogix BlueChip
card) constantly freezes.
Usually it just freezes - no response to any key or mouse, so I have to
force-restart. Every once in a while it puts up an error restart
box, or at least starts to draw one. These aren't consistent,

Anne,
Do you own a disk utility like DiskWarrior?
Sorry, should have mentioned that - Disk Warrior Tech Tools Pro,
which I keep on a separate partition with OS 9.1 (never got around to
updating it! - I have 9.2.2 on the main partition).

I got a closeout 17 powerbook (1GHz) for Christmas, and am slowly
preparing to transfer to it and OS 10.3 from my WallStreet running
9.2.2.
However, I have a couple of questions. OK, so they seem piddling
little details, but they can be annoying if I don't figure the
easiest way to handle

Can't happen, the usb socket is taller than a pcmcia card slot.
Sure, there are several of them, they're shaped like this (not to

So far I haven't found many things that I can complain about. The mouse
button doesn't sit quite level from one side to the other. It's not
that it's loose, but one side sits even with the main part of the case,
where the other side sits up a bit higher.
MacAddict just had a review of the 12 and

Just wondering if it's the same as when it's shut off. I was thinking

No. Definitely not SCSI, serial would probably not work.
Serial can be done safely, in that you don't risk damaging your
hardware, but more
I've heard a wallstreet can actually be up'd to 1gig instead of the 512k max
claimed by apple. Is this true?
It's actually that you can up it to 512 rather than the (something
really small - 192??) official Apple max.
At the time it came out only 128-Meg chips would fit it, they
didn't come
A friend is having huge problems getting the software
from the Verizon DSL CDROM to work on her iMac OS9.
Is she connecting directly to the DSL modem? If so, does Verizon's
DSL use PPPoE?
I TOTALLY screwed up OS 8.6 by installing Enternet to access SNET DSL
via PPPoE. A system reinstall and
Yes, AFAIK, Verizon uses PPPoE. . . doesn't the system (specifically the
TCP/IP control panel) has support for that kind of connection? OS X
definitely has it. Other than that, you might need a little application that
will initiate the PPPoE connection, but that should be pretty much it.

Will this work in 2.0 speed on a PB G3 Wallstreet running 10.2.3?
Do I need new drivers? If so, where to get them?
OR or the 2.0 drivers already built in 10.2.3?
I'm pretty sure OS X doesn't support USB 2.0. USB 2.0 devices will
run at 1.1 speeds using Apple's drivers.

Open Transport seems to block my serial port.
The only way to print or to sync my Palm is to restart with Open
Transport extensions disabled.
If Open Transport is loaded and I try to print, it tells me it can't
find the printer (or the Palm tells me it can't contact the computer).

I assume you mean Serial Port Monitor, which is the Palm's detector
software - it scans your ports checking to see if a Palm device has
been connected.
When I've used inkjet printers connected to the serial port in the past, and
had a problem with it printing out a bunch of gibberish, I found that I had
to turn off AppleTalk. . .
I'm guessing that you're not connecting to a network so you don't need
AppleTalk turned on. Sometimes you have to
