I thought that was what garage sales and thrift stores were for. I have a bunch of records (albums as well as singles) I never listen to since my record player died. [xx(] ]'> One of these days I will get me a USB turntable or maybe an old stereo so I can schlurp them into my iMac and then...

Got tired of trying to make the Pismo I had open up and take its new parts. So I bought the one matt_s78mn had listed. I am so happy! It needed a working processor card and I had the one from my naughty 'book. Bonged right up after that! And he even threw in a HD! All freshly formatted and with...

I hit a rummage sale that had quite a few old Mac discs. I have tried them out on my Lombard and 9.2, these ones are not intuitive enough for me to start using and came with no printed guides. A couple of them took over the Lombard and I had to unplug to quit! :p Anybody know any of these...

I guess that would really be stupid expensive! :lol: Besides, it's airport extreme...

Not so much lately, I have looked on eBay and they're a lot cheaper now. Maybe because more iterations of Macs have gone by, and the ones that use the original card are less and less used. If I can get past the problems I'm having getting the case apart so I can replace the sound/power card...

From the back you can see daylight and the scenery beyond through the upper screw hole, darkness and mystery beyond the bottom hole. These are lined up directly with the problem screw and perpendicular to it. I have tried unscrewing with simultaneous upward leverage from a tiny flathead...

Unfortunately it's doing an excellent job of holding that spot together. I already tried just pulling it apart, no luck. :( It just won't move up, like something's holding it in place that shouldn't, or it has a bit sticking out that keeps it there.

Followed the take-apart instructions for the Pismo to change out the sound card. There were significantly fewer screws than there were places for! Then I got to this place where I'm supposed to be able to take the top cover off, and I'm stuck. This one screw: acts like it's going around...

I already have PC cards that work with Airport and 10.3.9. I'm looking mainly into eliminating clutter or having to switch out PC cards for different purposes. That way I could just have my card reader PC card live in the slot. Another question, of course, is will the Pismo still be working...

Right now I use the same PCMCIA wireless card that has wireless-b,g with my Lombards and Pismo on 10.3.9. I am thinking of putting an airport internal card into the Pismo, but that is older and only does wireless-b. I already know that it's hard for me to tell the difference between the speed...

Wouldn't that be a punctuation Nazi? ;) [}:)] ]'>

That is a card I would expect to work with just the airport software, updated to the latest version for 9. I have used a wavelan silver with airport in a Lombard, and it just thought it was a real airport card. I found that other driver software just muddied things up and did not help, even...

Interesting, I see FreeGeek Vancouver on the list, but not the original FreeGeek here in Portland. I'm pretty sure they do all that responsible stuff, and they actually avoid having to recycle some of the stuff they get by reviving it.

Hmmm. It's downright creepy. Tried the PMU reset as prescribed. Tried it with and without PRAM battery hooked up. It just keeps going through that weird on-off cycle as long as it has power, and ignores everything I do. Maybe I should take everything out and put it back in...

OK, so I decided today was the day to switch displays, the good display from the Lombard with the bad power card and 333 MB, to the one with the broken display and 400 MB. When I tested it before, with the processor from the 333 and a bit of RAM, it seemed to power up fine, the only problem was...

THAT WASN'T VERY POLITE. Having to quit my browser to get out of that. On the other hand, it's been a long time since I've seen that one. ;)

The Pismo project now has a (relatively) new and spiffy keyboard with all the keys still on it, and a half-gig RAM stick to replace a 128, so now it has 768 MB RAM! :D And it only took two whole weeks to get the keyboard to me after paying with Paypal. The RAM I paid by mail and it was faster...

I downloaded the Educorp .sea files fine with Tiger and Netscape 9. They wouldn't self-extract, but when I dropped them on Stuffit Expander 10.0, that opened them. Just like digging around and finding a bunch of really old floppies, except without the floppies. :lol:

I had these Zip 100 disks sitting around for a while, and I found a healthy USB Zip250 drive at Goodwill, so now I have another means of backup for when I'm out of CDRs. I know how to lock a floppy disk, is there a way to physically lock a Zip disk?

Nice frame effect. So then it's just more plastic of a different kind? Or is it like the already exposed plastic?
