Hi Arizona Bruce et al (a follow-up to the 'repairing DVD-drive' thread I started)
Pismo is now behaving after a complete nuke and pave. (I had erased and reinstalled only the Tiger partition but updating from 10·4 to 10·4·11 and some other updates failed so I booted from the Tiger installer disk, then erased the whole disk, remade the partitions and installed ab-tedious-initio.) I'd be a bit upset if Pismo's HD misbehaves again - it's an SSD which is less than 6 months old. TiBook's optical drive remains flaky - I'd hope that the replacement I've bought from eBay will cure that. However, several queries remain. - TiBook won't connect to my network at all by ethernet under MacOS 9·2·2 but does so just fine under Tiger and Leopard. So I guess I've got the settings wrong in the TCP/IP control panel: For the ethernet location I'd use 'Connect via: Ethernet built-in' and 'Configure: using DHCP server'. What am I missing here? - TiBook will connect to an unsecured airport/wireless home network (and hence the internet) in Tiger and Leopard and in MacOS 9·2·2. However, I prefer to run my home network as securely as possible (WPA2 Personal): original airport cards can't handle this. What do listers recommend for adding WPA2 Personal to the TiBook? My ideal would be an add-in that gives WPA2 Personal under Tiger, Leopard and 9·2·2 but I'd be happy with WPA2 Personal under just the OSX variants. - What do listers recommend for adding USB2 capability to the TiBook? - The MacOS 9·2·2 installation was made by CarbonCopyCloning from Pismo's fresh installation (retail OS 9·1 installer DVD, followed by applying 9·2·1 and 9·2·2 updates) because I don't have the specific OS9 installer disks for TiBook.
