I should have the Farallon ethernet driver disk somewhere. I still have it to use with my Newtons.... If you need it, let me know, and I'll dig around in my disk collection...

OWC discontinued their Pismo batteries? Well, that is too bad...but, I guess it saves me some $$$. Also, I did install and run 10.5 Leopard on my G4 Pismo a while back. It ran ok, but when you needed to do something that required the graphics card, that was where I ran into problems. For...

I wouldn't think 128 mb of any kind of RAM (well, for home computers) existed back then. Maybe by 1996... I had dumped a bunch of my catalogs and magazines a while ago. I remember being really happy about getting two 8MB 72 pin simms for my Performa 6117 in 1997ish for about $45 each, and...

Hey again, It is looking like my problem is more involved than just a simple corruption of preferences or anything software wise. I first posted my problem on the MacRumors site, and somebody posted a link to this: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10332007-263.html I haven't opened it up...

Thanks for this info. I've had the exact problem you describe, with an iBook G4 1.42 GHz I just "inherited" from a family member. I'll try it out when I get back home.

Wow, that was really interesting. I have two S900's I boot up from time to time...thanks to Trag (who posted previously), I replaced the power supply in one already; I've been meaning to do it to the other (newer power supply is *much* quieter, also have ATA drives in there which are much...

Sorry to resurrect a dead topic, but I have some experience with Lombards and dead caches... Basically, the only real effect of the dead cache will be that message upon startup. Once you hit the "OK", it will boot up normally. You won't have any Level 2 cache then, so some programs will see a...

Ok, yep, took the ethernet card out, and by the capacitors, there is a gunky, filmy stuff all around that area of the board, and not anywhere else. So, I took the Apple IIe card out of the LCII, and same thing. Took the ethernet card out of the LCIII, and yep, again, same thing. Grumble...

Hi, I am having a problem with my fave, my original LC. When I start it up, it gives a sound like a radio tuning in, with the frequency going up and down a couple of times. Then it calms down, then it will start up again, but this is different: it starts with a really quiet, high pitched sound...

Dunno 'bout you, but using a Sonnet G4 1GHz CPU upgrade wouldn't let my SuperMac S900 boot into my BeOS partition. Why? Dunno...I just took the card out, and put the wimpy G3 400 back in. *Sigh* The 1GHz G4 was pretty fast...

Interesting...I think that free pascal interpreter was also with the book "Oh, Pascal". At least the name Dr. Pascal rings a bell. I still have the files disk for that book. Some of the old websites have the old versions of MacPascal available. It will only run on system 6.0.8 or less, but it...

I see this thread is a little old, but what the heck? I just came into possession of a PB 520 (no "c"), and I love it. My first Powerbook was a 5300 (no "c"), and in many ways, I could see where the 520 was nicer than the 5300. It has built-in ethernet, as trag mentioned, and even had a...

I have an old Daystar G4 in my Pismo, at 550MHz, and I have 1GB of memory. It definitely can handle things better than a G3 Pismo can, and is suitable for surfing, iTunes (although it still encodes somewhat slow), etc. Realistically, however, you'd be better off putting your money into...

For your next trick, can somebody find where the old online versions of the Inside Macintosh technical books are?

I've never seen anything about USB on PowerPC BeOS. I was able to install USB on my x86 BeOS Release 5. I had to install extra stuff I found on BeBits; I think they said it was originally for BONE or Dano or some such other dodgy thing, but it did work on my PeeCee. The only reason why I...
