Re: Panther won't boot - shell
thanks everyone for their insights. I had gone already some steps towards the strategy suggested by Laurent, so I didn't loose any data. Was certainly not very wise on my side to use the OS 9 version to repair OS X directories. So, don't do it folks! cheers, gianfranco -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Ram upgrade enquiry on the Pismo
At the least put in 1 512mb...If you can afford it go straight to 1gb...I did that last year when ram was real cheap and never regretted it..Also upgraded my imac se 400 and am running 10.3.2 on both...No problems ram-wise...Got the ram from OWC..There was a problem with one of the pismo chips when I got it but OWC replaced it immediately..

Add Firewire and Wireless Card to Lombard?
I have a PB Lombard 400 currently running Panther with 192 MB RAM (I know I should get moreand will soon)I want to be able to connect my iPod and then also get a wireless card to work with my Netgear wireless router. I've heard something about 2 cards that can kinda piggyback in the card slot in order to use both at the same time. Can anyone point me in the right direction and/or make suggestions on cards to look into (and as usual, as inexpensive as possible due to a tiny budget)?

Problem is that the Lombard only has one slot. I wish I could remember of some sort of 'breakout box' for PC Card slots, but I am not seeing anything.

Re: how to boot a pismo
I recently came into a pismo that doesn't have a dvd or cd drive and needs a system installed onto it. I have no external firewire hard drive to install a system and the only firewire disc drive I have is a burner that is not bootable. I do have a wallstreet, but is there a way to install a system onto the pismo. Can I use firewire disk mode with a cardbus card via my wallstreet or do I need to buy either an external hard rive or disk drive for the pismo? You should be able to do that (pismo in FW disk mode, WS with FW via cardbus card). But I guess you're gonna need a CD or DVD drive sooner or later for your pismo anyway. If you wanna wait for the bargain on th edrive and use your pismo in the meantime, then you could go ahead with the FW hook-up. cheers, gianfranco -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Ram upgrade enquiry on the Pismo
Howdy! I currently have 128mb of ram installed on my Pismo and it's suffering slightly with multiple applications running in OSX 10.2.8. According to the manual the max limit is 512mb but I've heard that some of you out there have increased this to 1Gb. If so, which chips did you use and did you have any problems arising as a result of this, and what were they? At 19:01 -0900 1/23/2004, Geoffrey Loeffler wrote: I have upgraded 3 pismos to 1gig and have had no problems Mine came from Data Systems Memory I do not work for these guys just had very positive purchase results. www.datamem.com TThe chip you need is the 512 meg, 144 pin PC 100 32x64 CL 2 SD RAM T The performance from adding 1- 512 with your 128 will be noticeable. The prices seem to be edging up a little, if you can swing 2- 512s I would go for it. There are other places for RAM OWC comes to mind, maybe small dog computer. These are stable folks who will stand behind the ram. You can also check Ramseeker.com to compare prices. Remember lower is not always better. I have read more problems related to poor ram cause problems with 10.2 and now 10.3 so while a stick of ram is a stick of ram, who you buy it from is important if you get a bad stick. If I upgraded to 512mb should I buy 2x256mb chips or 1x512mb? Does it make any difference performance wise?. Again if all you swing at this time is 1- 512 go that way, you will see a real difference and keep you 128 stick. If you put in 2X256, your throwing out your 128 stick so to upgrade to 1 GIG you will have to sell both 2X256 and the 128.Maxing it out will make it useful for longer period of time. Each new program seems to eat ram just because its there, they should be writing better programs instead of pigging out on ram.. I would put the max in I could afford. The amount of RAM you have is what you have, but you will be able to open more programs faster with more ram. With 2-512s your virtual memory will be turned off and the book will really zing. The next step would be to upgrade the hard drive to a bigger and faster speed.. The good news you could sell your old one or put it a fire wire box $50.00 bucks OWC and use it for backups Finally if anyone has some spare pc100 chips they no longer require please drop me a line!
