400Mhz Pismo

[coius]

I am scratching the Solid-State drive idea. I just got the adapter, and it doesn't work with my SSD (btw, you should see the specs on that SSD in your NetBook Trash80) and when I ran tests using another adapter, the maximum I got for data transfer was 7MB/s

the minimum was 50KB/s So much for a solid-state drive. The 30GB IDE HDD I have in the Lombard right now was testing between 5MB/s up to 39MB/s

That's sad when a desktop drive outperforms an SSD. The SSD was made in 2009, the 30GB was made in 2004. That's pretty sad...

Anyways, due to the fact the adapter doesn't like my SSD (but will work with a LIF 30GB Hard drive) and the slow speeds, I am going to scratch the idea and stay with the 30GB.

my opinion Trash80, is to ditch that SSD and get a LIF hard drive. You will thank me when you see the speed increase.

WTF be LIF? :?:

Classilla would indeed probably be happier under 10.3 than 10.2 because of the improvements in Classic for 10.3.

. . . The Pismo is technically the first "Jobsian"-era Mac laptop in terms of chipsets.
(Which of course is full of its own sadness, such as *never* developing a chipset supporting G4s with a DDR frontside bus.)

Which probably goes a long way toward explaining why "His Jobsness" was in such a hurry to prune all pre-Intel Macs from the X-Tree . . .

. . . maybe that (brilliant huckster) ID10T's Designer TEES have grown a bit too tight around his stiff neck!

How badly did he manage to bork the G5 series in terms of chipsets he no longer felt were worth supporting . . .

. . . after shilling every iPoo offering that came down the pike during his "second coming" as THE NeXT BIG THING!?

Trash,

LIF is an IDE drive usually intended for small netbooks and notebooks. It uses a small flat ribbon with exposed ends. If you open your netbook, you will see what I mean. It's that little 1" ribbon that goes between your motherboard and the Solid State drive. iPods with hard drives use the same connector. Physically they are ribbon cables, electronically they are just IDE drives. Also, they mostly run at 3.3v. So my IDE->LIF adapter has a step-down that takes the 5v input to the drive and down converts it to 3.3v. This is the reason why NetBooks get (among other advances) much better battery life if they use LIF. The iPod drives and other 1.8" (Definition of LIF drives) use the LIF/ZIF Connector. They also use a small plastic clamp-down device to hold the ribbon in, vs the pin setup on most IDE HDD. If you looked at my pics of the netbook, that white cable that goes from the board in my netbook to that Hitachi drive is LIF
