There have been discussions concerning replacing a Pismo hard drive

Well, on the Lombard, it's between the S-Video and VGA outputs. Either
way, it's still really easy to work on a Lombard or Pismo, as long as

I don't see how the USB2 card can work on a Pismo other than at USB1 speeds
since your PC slot is not as fast as USB2.

The easiest method for either a Pismo or Lombard is to use a cardbus

Yes, when the original LG CD drive died I replaced it with a Sony DVD/
CD-RW drive, works fine. I never got the faceplate to fit, so
I replaced the dying DVD-ROM in my wife's Pismo with a Samsung combo
drive from a Dell laptop. I swapped the internals in the caddy and
used Patchburn to fully support burning. A little fine sanding and
superglue on the bezel and you can hardly tell it's not the original.
Can you still play

DVD movies are fine on this one. Retail and
Listers,
What would cause the above symptom? It goes away after a short while?

Hi,
I would like to purchase a new
(or possibly refurbished?) battery
for my Pismo. I may even buy two of them.
Looking for battery life for extended use when
not plugged in to AC.
It currently has (the original, I think)
PowerBook Lithium Ion Apple
Rechargeable battery M7318

haven't attempted to hook up directly to the Pismo.
Uses DVD-R and DVD-RW, think that the mac line currently uses DVD+R,
shouldn't be an issue with finished disks. Just means that you will
need stocks of different media if you get a more current mac. They
play in my Pismo, but my Pismo drive

Advice please - I'm considering buying a combo DVD/VHS recorder so I
can transfer old VHS material (both personal and off-air TV) to a
recordable DVD format and thence onto my Pismo for viewing aware from
home. Any recommendations for best recordable DVD format and brand to
work
With no warning, my Pismo 400 won't power up at all.
Anyone have a procedure for trouble-shooting the power yo-yo (battery is
discharged).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Michael
