Re: Wallstreet hardrive replacement?

Could this be due to the magnetic field of the hard drive interfering with the reed switch that controls sleep? I know this is sometimes an issue with upgrading hard drives in wallstreets. Heok Hee -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronics

Switching optical drives on early TiBooks

Does anyone know of online instructions for swapping the optical drive on early model TiBooks? I just replaced the DVD-ROM drive in my 400MHz Powerbook G4 with a combo drive (largely through trial and error), and was wondering if I did it 100% right (the combo drive works like a charm, but

Re: Bottom RAM Slot on WallStreet II

Having put a 256MB module in the top slot of my WallStreet II (233MHz), I'm now interested in replacing the 32MB module in the lower slot. But a technician at my institution told me that, on this particular configuration, the bottom module is soldered into the slot and not easily removed.

Re: strange brightness issues

I have the same problem after upgrading to 10.2.3 and beyond. Seems to be a quirk with the newer versions of Jaguar and Wallstreets. I am told a Jaguar reinstall would fix it. Heok Hee -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com |

RAM for TiBook

Well, I'm finally about to replace my Wallstreet with a first-generation TiBook. Just wondering if I can use PC133 SODIMMs meant for the later TiBooks instead of PC100. Heok Hee -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com |

Re: Dual batteries and OS X, Processor upgrades

1a) Will OS X recognize both batteries (if you have one in each bay)? Yes 1b) If it does, does it treat it as one large battery, or does it give you two battery indicators? I have had two batteries for some time now, but have never had the need to use both under OS X. When I use both of

Hi Jim, Tried what you suggested, but still no go. What happened was exactly as you described. I got a happy mac, followed by an instant reboot into Jaguar. Looks like putting OS 9.2.2 on the second partition (instead of the first with Jaguar) may have something to do with it, as

WS startup delay

Is there any way of shortening the startup delay on a Wallstreet? Mine took 48 seconds from the chime to the gray screen and happy mac, even after I turned off memory testing, zapped the PRAM and set the hard drive as the startup disk. The RAM is maxed out (512MB), as is the stock processor

I'm not sure it can be done. You would need to remove the stock CD-ROM from the housing and you cannot do so without irreparably damaging the housing. Heok Hee Anyone have any experience putting one of those Matsushita CDRW's into a Wallstreet? They seem to go pretty cheap on ebay, and I

Re: Wallstreet CDRW

Nope, the photo build guide at xlr8yourmac.com is meant for Pismo and Lombard CD-ROM drives. Apparently, the Wallstreet drive is built somewhat differently. The screws are all in the wrong place for the Wallstreet drive and you cannot slide the housing out just by following the instructions

Timothy, The tutorial for changing a Wallstreet hard drive is given here: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/PB_G3/wallstreet_hard_drive/. It's pretty simple, and I changed the hard drive on my Wallstreet without the benefit of the tutorial. Heok Hee -- G-Books is sponsored by
