OS X.4 DVD on Wallstreet II

2005-06-13 Thread Michael Dolberry
I have been playing around with upgrading to X.4 on my Wallstreets, using the new XPostFacto4. But I have run into a snag. I suspect that it is hopeless, but just wanted to check. Using the new XPostFacto 4, I can load the software and recognize the DVD, even in OS 10.2. But when it tries to

Hello everyone. This will be my first post on the list, as I just acquired a used wallstreet II 300MHz. My first G3 'book. I have need for expansion bay devices and advice. First: My floppy drive does not spin. When I insert a disk, nothing happens. The computer even once said that it didn't

Well, you will need a generic 9.x install CD... ones that come with a specific machine (other than your Wallstreet) will not boot. The DVD player will not run from Classic, because it needs access to the hardware, which Classic does not provide. You will need a generic 9.x install CD and install

I don't have my OS X handbook with me but I remember reading about a problem with OS 9 not being able to boot. I don't remember the solution but I know there was one. If I can get to my book tomorrow I'll send you the info. In the meantime, I've had several computers with OS X not want to

I have the DVD card and the DVD/CD drive. I was able to play DVDs fine but then I put on OSX (Jaguar) and 9.2.2. I can no longer get my DVD to work. When I click on DVD Player it gives me Error 3. Is anyone else using the DVD card on the Wallstreet and might be able to tell me what to try

Sorry, but the Wallstreet and Lombard cannot play DVDs in OS X. OS X uses the video card for DVD playback (so no PC Card decoders will work), and the RagePro LT is woefully underpowered for that sort of thing... (And Apple has incomplete LT drivers, as you probably know by now) From: Emery

Occasionally on my Wallstreet the cards would eject while the mechanism would remain cocked as it were. The solution was to use a paperclip in the eject hole when the slot was empty. This allows the card to be inserted. Keith -- I'd love to but... I want to spend more time with my blender. On
