Re: XPostFacto

ok.. maybe I was not making myself clear.. with X, it was not supposed 
to show more than 256 colors, AND the card NEVER worked.  in fact, when 
I upped my system to 10.2.8 it stopped seeing a card installed into the 
machine. Either my card has always been a bit shifty, and the second 
one also has been faulty  OR something else was up not alloing the card 
cage on the kanga to be sen in MacOS X  Basically my only experience 
with them Not working before is them not working before.  then they 
did.  it surprised me.

SO.. has Kanga (according to XPF) always been able to do thousands of 
colors, even though it says only 256 works?  and it has always been 
able to see PCMCIA cards in the Kanga?  so why did I lose that ability 
to see the PCMCIA carrd when I upped it to 10.2.8 and worked again when 
I went down to 10.2 with no updates?  AND should I bother to try 
thiswith 10.3 in thousands of colors or should I just let it float 
working at 10.2?

OK... I have a bit of an oddity going on here... I have a Kanga, a #1 
G3 Powerbook looking like the 3400.   I know that it will only 
display 256 colors.  I know that it will not support the PCMCIA 
cards.  LAST NIGHT I installed 10.2 on there.  the screen in 
thousands of colors, not 256.  AND the PCMCIA card cage RECOGNIZED 
(according to MacOS X) there was a Lucent WaveLan card in there.

a dumb thing then happened.. then I told the machine to update to 
10.2.8 and stuff.. then the PCMCIA card failed to work.  I attempting 
to re-install it now...
How do you know that "it will not support the PCMCIA cards"?  I 
regularly use assorted PCMCIA cards on my Kanga and 3400c with no 
problems.
