Re: PCI wireless on a beige G3
On Dec 27, 2008, at 9:21 PM, Darin Sheriff wrote: Hello everyone, I have recently had the good fortune to acquire a beige powermac G3 and plan on putting os 9.2 on it and also os 10.2 Jaguar. I am also looking for a way to make it wireless and I have seen some wireless PCI cards on ebay that are airport extreme compatible. Does anyone know if these cards work with a beige powermac? It will be hard to find any modern card that works with OS 9. Most modern cards can be tweaked to work with OS X, but having a current version of OS X helps, so if you're looking for a cheap card, you better install 10.4.11 on this Beige using XPostFacto 4. You may be able to find an 802.11b card that works in both OS 9 OS X Jaguar, but I'm not aware what that card is? The Beige is a very difficult Mac for OS X. You should read the XPostFacto forums before installing. You've got a 1st 8 GB limitation on OS X native booting installations, but you can install onto larger partitions outside the 1st 8 GB by using an XPF helper disk to boot with. A good strategy for the Beige is to get a PCI Firewire 400 card and boot from external Firewire HDs. This eliminates the 1st 8 GB issue and the 128GB total HD size limitation, plus gets you faster HD access at a price cheaper than a Mac bootable ATA card that supports larger than 128GB HDs. You'll need a Radeon PCI card so that you can enable Quartz Extreme with PCI Extreme 3.1. Without the Radeon, it will struggle with simple graphics tasks like fast scrolling of complex webpages. If you're installing OS X beyond Jaguar you should subscribe and post questions to the Unsupported OS X list rather than G3-5 list which is for supported Macs and software. Honestly, the Beige is very difficult. Unless you have time to tinker I'd recommend getting any AGP G4 instead. There are so many idiosyncrasies of the Beige to remember, and they all are time consuming and frustrating. As for the PCI Airport card, I use a NetGear WN311B which is a cheap, modern 802.11n card. It needs a very slight tweak to get it recognized as Airport, but it works identically as a native Airport card. The tweak I used was called bcm43xx_enabler_0.5.1pre.sh.zip which you can download it on the web. I don't think any 802.11n cards will work with anything less than Tiger 10.4? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: UPS effectiveness (was: Power failure-computer won't start)
On Dec 28, 6:19 am, Bill Christensen billc_li...@greenbuilder.com wrote: ... I never said anything about defective hardware. I said I ran one of the diagnostic/repair tools on it, fix a bunch of stuff. By that I was referring to SOFTWARE diagnostics and SOFTWARE fixes - Disk First Aid, Disk Warrior, Norton, whatever the heck we were using most at the time. Nothing changed in the hardware set up at all. And I don't give a rat's patoot as to why the power company delivered crappy power. I've seen the lights dim or momentarily go out often enough to know that it does. ... You are correct. You did not say anything about defective hardware in a computer that may have symptoms of existing defective hardware. For example, if that computer has a defective power supply ($60 replacement cost), you somehow knew hardware damage was being averted by installing a $500+ UPS. That is what you claimed. You claimed UPSes provide hardware protection because an $1800 UPS masked an already existing defect. That does not prove hardware protection. That demonstrates that throwing $1800 at a $60 problem can mask symptoms. A hardware defect still exists with or without that UPS.Your example also demonstrates why GM is losing so much money by making the same mistakes that even Ross Perot defined 20 years earlier. They too throw massive money to cure symptoms rather than find, then fix, trivial problems. Bottom line - your example does not prove a UPS protects hardware. It only proves symptoms can be cured and that multiple problems may still exist. More facts based only on assumptions. You have assumed the utility is delivering crappy power. More often, those symptoms are traceable to a major safety defect; maybe inside that house. IOW both computers may have been a 'canary in a coalmine'. Instead you would mock investigating before fixing something? Your speculations still do not prove a UPS provides hardware protection. And that is the point. UPSes do not provide hardware protection despite so many assumptions that say otherwise. A new fact. Another computer was doing the same thing, but only in that house. You assumed crappy utility power. The second computer only works in their house? More reasons to ask if a serious human safety threat might exist in their house. A problem easily located with some basic knowledge, inspection, or by hiring an electrician. A problem that still exists even with an $1800 UPS. Get the household electric inspected. The observation - computers only crash in their house - is only sufficient to make an assumption and to later develop a hypothesis. Not sufficient to know anything except that a problem (potentially serous) clearly does still exist. UPS does not provide hardware protection. It simply protects a computer from power off. In this case, a UPS might have been used to ignore a potential human safety problem. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: UPS effectiveness (was: Power failure-computer won't start)
We've always had UPS's, usually APC, and *all* of our computers have worked without any major problems for long periods of time, say 8-10 years. Usually in the $75-150 range. So I'm happy with them. I have had good power, flaky power - but the Macs are happy critters. On Dec 28, 2008, at 6:19 AM, Bill Christensen wrote: Finally I decided that the prime difference was the power.

NEED PRINT AND SCANNING CAPABILITY
Here are my needs * Occasional color printing - very few photos (can go to Walgreens or Wal-Mart for those). I am not a high volume printer for anything even in bw but print a few pages every couple of days. I strongly prefer separate colors since I use the magenta and cyan about 3 times more than yellow. * Semi-frequent scanning but does not need to be HIGH quality * LOW COST to purchase and operate. * Need to print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro running 10.5.5 and also print from a Sawtooth G4. I can share the printer which would be attached to the Sawtooth G4 also running 10.5.5. Alternatively the printer could be attached to a network or be wireless. If necessary I could physically connect the laptop to the printers and scanners since the G4 will be getting less and less use. However I hate to keep plugging and unplugging for fear of damaging my ports on the laptop. * Limited space I was thinking of a low cost multi-function inkjet WITH a low cost bw printer. However, I am concerned that an inkjet printer will clog if used infrequently. I have no objections to a low cost multi-function laser but haven't really seen a low cost one. I still would need a color printer that can sit idle for weeks w/o clogging or drying out. Maybe I should just get a single multi-function inkjet and if that is all I have, it will be used enough it won't dry out. Thoughts or recommendations?

Re: NEED PRINT AND SCANNING CAPABILITY
Hi Marty, I would suggest looking at the HP Photosmart C8180 AIO. It will print in color and has all the colors separate 6 in all including black. It will also allow scanning across the network. It can be connected via USB, wired ethernet and wireless. I works on my MDD DP 1 GHz X.4.11 system just fine. I have printed several photos with it and even done a little scanning. Now it might be a little out of your low cost range but I think it is well worth your time researching it. Here is the link to HP's site for it: http://tinyurl.com/2bwf85 Just my 2 cents Mike On Dec 28, 2008, at 10:05 PM, Marty Levine wrote: Here are my needs * Occasional color printing - very few photos (can go to Walgreens or Wal-Mart for those).

The most flexible card which I have is a very old Creative I/O card which has a single-chip ALI solution, and it has USB 1.1/2.0 and Firewire 400, and it works on an Intel Hackintosh as well as a PPC Macintosh. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Classic on OS10 Problem
On Dec 28, 2008, at 5:13 PM, Michael B. in Cincinnati wrote: Charles, thanks; but as I noted above, that box is checked. The card is specified on the OWC web site as being boot-capable, and compatible with both OSX and OS9. Go to 'About Mac'/ More Info and check the information about the hard disk. Does it say that OS9 Drivers are there? But when I boot into OSX, OS9 does not start. If I go to System Preferences/System/Classic, it displays the partition with OS9. So I click on that file, and Classic promptly loads. But it won't load separately. Can one install OS9 and OSX on the same partition? I don't do it that way, but it works for lots of folks. BUT you may still need to have the 'OS9 Drivers' loaded on the HD.

I want to stick with an inkjet because that's what I'm familiar with. Answer to specific KODAK question. Cartridge went dry in my HP -- New ink = +/- $40 New local discounter had KODAK Easyshare 5100 for $45 (? don't remember exactly) Kodak = new printer + copier + Scanner for about the same as new ink for the HP --- So I got the KODAK. Have since run the Black cartridge dry, Took a few days to get some ordered --- should be here Mon. or Tue. All in all, I'm happy with the KODAK.

Remove the stick and observe. If the behavior changes, then yes, it may be a bad stick.
