Mac to Server Query
Wondering if it is possible to easily set up my G4 for access (secure and reliable ) from the road? I've got a G4 AGP with 1.5 Ghz clock that has been the hub of my wireless network with - but I'm going to be travelling for extended trips and wondering if I can set it up for access over the web - without having to purchase the OSX server software (I assume this is more for web site hosting). I'd like to mainly use to grab and store files from the road. I know there is the mobile me system but not interested.

Re: Problem: Checking Extended Attributes file

I'd recommend no further use of the system until you have run DiskWarrior - boot up from the DiskWarrior CD. Be careful to use the correct version, I'm not sure if the version that's OK for 10.4 will also be OK for 10.2.

Security Update 2010-001
My G5 with 10.5.8 was offered Security Update 2010-001 today at 160 MB. My G4 Mini with 10.4.11 was NOT offered such an update, perhaps Tiger is cut loose for good? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Thinking about a quicksilver...
After adding up the dollars to put this MDD together, I'm wondering what the best quicksilver would be? I'm looking at 800mhz systems on ebay for around 100 dollars? sure they're only 800mhz single processor systems, but I can upgrade it later can't I? I just need a really good tiger/os9 machine for odds and ends what's the best q- silver to get?

Jeff Hello Jeff, This is easy - shoot for any of the 2002 models (800MHz, 933MHz, or the best of them all, 1GHz DP). The 2002 models introduced native, on-the-board large drive support. Conversely, avoid the initial QS model, the 733Mz unit of 2001 - this was actually slower than the 733MHz Dig. Audio because it dropped the L3 cache on the CPU.

Re: Thinking about a quicksilver...
The next question is, is there any differences in the cases between the 2001 and the 2002? ebay has lots of them but rarely do they tell you the year? is there a way to tell from just looking at it? Jeff Dont think there is ... cases are the same. Get a copy of Mactracker ... perhaps the eBay-er will give the serial number: http://www.mactracker.ca/ I like my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz off eBay ... but I discovered I had to replace the mobo, after a lightening strike ... it was malfunctioning b4 hand ... unbeknownst to me ... bought from someone in Seattle WA area years ago ... didn't know why he apologized for selling it to me ... h ... seemed to be working fine ... but it wasn't ... -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Target Disk Mode is new to me so the it means what
Target Disk Mode is new to me so the it means that this computer is acting just like a hd, but what about the CD. If true, then can I see it as a hd by holding the Option key down when I start the other computer (will it show) and can I then use this one with a CD in it to install on the other computer or is it only the hd that I can see Sorry to be so fresh, but I have not done this and would appreciate your knowledgeable reply. Also, does firewire have the same connector on both ends?

Jeff Per MacTracker, the QS (2001) came with a 733, 867 or dual 800 MHz CPU. The QS 2002 came with a 733 (education version), 800, 933 or dual 1000 MHz. Of course the processor could have been upgraded or downgraded so it's not definitive even for a unique configuration. I would look at MacTracker for more details. It may show other ways to discriminate between the models. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Also, does firewire have the same connector on both ends? Short version, when you hold down the T key on startup, disks on the computer become Firewire drives. I've always found it to work with any disks on the computer but I've heard stories of some disks not appearing. YMMV. Most computers have the large 4-pin connecter on them for FireWire 400. If you are hooking two of these together, then yes. Most DV cams and some laptops have a small, square plug as opposed to the larger tombstone-shaped one . FireWire 800 uses the same small connector but if i remember right it has more pins. The connector on the Mac is (almost) always the 6 pin connector. The connector on cameras is 4 pin. 6 pin carries the same signals as the 4 pin with the addition of power. FireWire 800 has a different connector with 9 pins. Firewire cables can have any one of the three connectors on either end.

Also, does firewire have the same connector on both ends? Most computers have the large 4-pin connecter on them for FireWire 400. Just a clarification. This would be a six-pin connection. Most (now older) Macs were harnessed with this style; the PCs I've seen run 50/50 between this and the smaller 4-pin connection referred to. The 4-pin is the smaller crimped connection, also referred to as 1394 or (Sony) E-link about the same size as a mini-USB port If you are hooking two of these together, then yes. Most DV cams and some laptops have a small, square plug as opposed to the larger tombstone-shaped one . FireWire 800 uses the same small connector but if i remember right it has more pins. FW 800 ports are larger than the 4-pin versions, square-ish, with a recessed middle for a collared connection. It has 9 pins.
