hello list,
I've read great reports from this list about the IBM (Hitachi) Travelstar
40GNX (5400 rpm) and I wonder if anyone would know how it compares to the
Toshiba 40 GAX (also 5400 rpm but 16 MB cache as opposed to 8 MB of the
IBM). I was about to shell out for the 40GNX, but the 40GAX comes
Are there any performance issues concerning PCMCIA FireWire against built
in FireWire on a G3 Powerbook? I'm willing to use a Lombard 333 with a
MOTU FirwWire audio interface (828 MKII) for HD recording and I was warned
by a vendor about possible hitces with PCMCIA FireWire and OS 9.x. He was

dear listers,
I'm slightly confused concerning the following issue, any advice from
experts will be greatly appreciated:

PB G3 or G4. Is it sufficient to set the appropriate keyboard layout from
the system, then swap the
I have a lombard 333mhz running sys 9.2.2 but it is having frequent
freezes. Any idea what could be the cause?
I have a similar problem. I found out (with DiskLight) it is related in my
case to the external JAZ SCSI drive. I does not occour in OSX and it seems
to be relaetd to drive spin down
whuups, my understanding was that new AlBooks or the 1GHz TiBook won't run
Classic at all? Have I completely mis-read that? (so I hope!). Does
Panther include Classic mode as well?
And by the way, where Airport range problems fixed with the 1 GHz
15 TiBook?
cheers, gianfranco

I have a Jaz drive, an ancient Apple CD drive and a Plextor burner hooked
up smoothly via SCSI to my Lombard 333, OS 10.2.8. I haven't tried to burn
as of yet, though it should not pose a problem, as CDs are mounted ok on
the Plextor. The only minor problem I've noticed, just yesterday, is that

Are keyboards with different layouts (US / German / Italian etc.)
simply interchangable for the G4 powerbooks?

while I can use FAXstf on my Lombard 333 under OS 9.2.2 just fine, I can't

The internal modem does not show up in Print Center and Modem Center. Also
I can't find any mention of the modem running System Profiler in both OS 9

hello and best wishes for this new year to you all!
I run OS 10.2.8 on a Lombard 333, 384 MB RAM and I have an irritating
problem when using OS X Mail: it runs generally ok, but as soon as I hit
one of the menus, the rotating wheel start spinning and I'm stuck for a
time ranging from one to a few
I'm not sure this is entirely related, but I have also reported a couple
of weeks ago an internal modem problem on a Lombard under OS 10.2.8, but got no
replies. I have not tried a dial-up connection as I'm on DSL since
installing OS X, running fine and afraid to disrupt the harmony, but
when
Does anyone know what the determining factors are for the cooling fan
in a Lombard to run? What controls it? How to test it?
The reason I'm asking is that my Lombard 333 (O/C'd to 433) with 512 MB
running X.3.2 has been running at 100% CPU and heavy disk and CD
activity for about an hour now
I was thinking about getting a 256 and using it with my 128 for a total
of 384. Think that would be enough?
And I'm sure this problem has been discussed before, but I have
heard often that any more than 256 megs of RAM in a Lombard causes
problems with OS X.
Should this still be a concern,
- I have a Wallstreet 266 mhz and I finally got a big enough hard
drive
- for something besides OS9. I put OS9 on the second partition, then
- installed OSX on the first partition of 7.5 gigs, and after that it
- wouldn't let me boot into OS9. What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried
Just got the first problematic experience with Panther (TiBook 1 GHz).
After finishing setting up the OS 9 partition (which I do need right now),
I ran Norton on the OS X partition as minor problems were prompted by
File Saver. These were repaired, then I defrag'd and upon re-booting to
X.3.2, I
any idea about how to recover without having to re-install? Since I have
access to the partition via the shell when trying to boot on it, there's
perhaps a simple way?
Two more things:
Files on /private/etc/ (such as the affected
master.passwd) are hidden files and I can't access them booting
I also suspect that archive and install won't work, so I'm going ahead
with a clean install, after backing up the book in FireWire mode
My question to the list now is (perhaps I should have changed the
subject?):
I've read many bad accounts about Norton Utilities, is it really that bad?
I have
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!

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
I have hooked up a 1 GHz TiBook (OS 10.3.2) in FW disk mode to a Lombard
333 (10.2.8) via PC card FW. This connection kept crashing the Lombard. I
was only able to transfer small amounts of data at one time, but sooner or
later it would crash. This surprised me, as I had previously connected a

So, finally someone nicked the DVI-VGA cable I use to hook up my TiBook to
an external monitor. I'm pressed to get a replacement and I'd like to know
if the apple cable is strictly necessary or could I could pull any such

In OS 9.1 I can boot from a bootable Jaz disk connected to my
Wall Street via the HDI-30 SCSI adapter by holding
down the Option+Cmd+Delete+Shift keys.
mmm.. it seems to make it do something differently - instead of the
floating SCSI icon indicating target disk mode I get a pure white
so as it happens, I've accidentally trashed the entire content of a
partition holding an ongoing project on my TiBook under X.3.2.
I've trashed it and emptied the trash by accident. One or two files
contained data I have no backup of since a about a week, meaning that a
lot of work is lost. I

I think it would be technically possible to boot from a USB extedrnal

other previous recommendations and would suggest to upgrade the internal

making some noise, a regular noise, as if it were stuck searching some

your important data.

yep, done that. the issue is still there. Now I'll be away until monday,
then I will pick up any other possible suggestions that will be posted and
will report.

From your Model# above, I'd say you have a Travelstar 40GNX 40GB
drive. If that's the case, then Transintl says it has a 3-year
warranty:

I'm now stuck with a OS X installer CD as the only device the Lombard will
