a G4 Ti book. I'd like to have a better voip connection with Skype
and go 'wireless' . So I have been contemplating acquiring a
bluetooth headset and bluetooth USB adapter.
My question is this. Most of the bluetooth
Tim,
What I grew to realize with my Lombard with the bad cache is that
it's just much better and easier on the book to let it sleep
overnight rather then shut down. While the reset was no real hassle,
allowing it to sleep is easier on the power switch anyhow, bad cache
or not.So
Caleb,
Here's what to try. Follow carefully. Learned this from someone who
knows.
Have you tried fsck method?
What you want to do is shut down or restart, hold down the Command
and S key. You will then get a bunch of text scrolling across the
screen. Once this starts, you can let
One valuable aspect of having these feet is that they do provide a
small amount of airflow underneath if being used on a flat surface.
Simply keeping the bottom of the book from having direct contact with
a solid surface allows excess heat to escape. Some of the books

Yeah, that's real hot. One thing you might check is where the heat
may be originating. Pretty easy to tell if under the dvd or just
cpu. If the underside of the dvd player is also 'real' hot, it may
simply be venting towards hard drive and cpu and overloading fans.

Jim,
I've noticed similar behavior with my airport connection after I let
the machine 'fall asleep' on its own. But if I 'put' it to sleep, no
such problem. In fact, if after it falls asleep and I wake it up
resulting in lost connection, I can 'put' it back to sleep, wake it
up, and
had something to do with installation of some software, but
no telling at this point. There were clearly some issues with

I purchased a used G4 800 DVI Powerbook this last weekend.
Everything runs fine and its in great shape, except the Combo drive.
It was damaged by prior owner. DVD still works but no cd performance

Interesting. Dan A had already sent me the file, but it doesn't open
as a text file if it is 'saved' to disk. If it is just drug, then it
does open as text file for me.
Either way, it didn't work after restart. So much for that Apple
forum suggestion...

Hi Caleb,
I am using a Lombard G3 400 with a bad processor L2 cache. I have

There is a hassle that comes with it. Anytime you shut down, you

Hello people of the G-Book list, I have been following this thread,
for I too have a Lonbard that I am trying to upgrade to X.4.3 At the
present time it's sitting at X.2.8 because whenever I attempt to go
beyond X.2.8 it locks up on the gray screen. The stats for the Book
are
as follows:
Dave, why not into getting the L2 cache replaced ? Daystar or Wegener
can do it. With no L2 , X probably runs like a dog (a bad dog at
that).

Hey Mad Dog,
I've been running 10.3.9 with a bad cache for 6 months. Actually runs
pretty good so have been content and can't complain.
The Lombard will run 10.4.3 and the updates can be done from the
Lombard itself. That's how I did mine.

Hi Alan,

Well I've been running Panther on my Lombard with a bad L2 cache for a

the archives since September but

I seem to have a slight dilemma in regards to xpf.
It requires you to turn on the L2 Cache. Problem is, my L2 cache is

actually enables usage?

I guess the responses to my post sum up the the core question.
Which card brands will work BOTH under OS9 and OSX?
Also, I don't have Tiger installed yet either, so wondering if there is

strengths under Panther?
