The Newt is really for collectors and hobbyists and I wouldn't reccomend it gor a travelling blogger who wants to retain their sanity. Click to expand... I'm not worried about …

^^To be (painfully) honest, I wouldn't bother. My MP2000 is online and I've spent ages fully specing it out with peripherals but only becuase I'm a collector. The Newton can be a…

I have read reports in the past of the onboard ethernet for Yosemitie and Yikes (the worst culprits) boards going very wrong, it may be time to get a PCI ethernet card. I'm assumi…

I'm subscribed to the NewtonTalk Mailing List -- if you want I can relay your nBlog-related questions there. Have you tried writing Adam Tow himself or the author of the blog you f…

Does anyone else here have any sort of experience using nBlog to update their blogs? Success or horror stories? I'd be looking to use it on a regular basis, but if it's going to …

For the last few weeks the built-in ethernet on this little beast has not provided an IP address. Renewing the DHCP lease does nothing as well. I've tried different Cat5 ethernet…

Well, I can't really recommend much about the newton but I can recommend the next best thing - the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet (collectively known as the "N810", as I've seen). Thi…

I'm in the market for a more portable blogging solution. For a few years now, I've been using my wireless-enabled Powerbooks (a 5300, 1400, and Lombard) or TRS-80 Model 100 &a…

you need to modify the software Apple shipped for DVD playback because it only wants to use the rage 128 DVD decoder hardware (software hack). Click to expand... Version 2.7 o…

The DVD decoder card did not come with all rage 128 video cards, and it could have been removed before he got his systems even if it did ship with one. Radeon video cards will do …

*waits for iamdigitalman to prove us wrong*

The stock card should have the required decoder, you don't have to connect the drive straight to the card, just install as usual and it will work through the PCI slot. If you're r…

Or a better video card, such as the Radeon

The Rage 128 needs the hardware DVD decoder card that snaps onto it to work.

I just installed a DVD-ROM drive in a B&W/400 today. Data DVDs work great. However, DVD movies do not work in the apple dvd player because I am missing the needed hardware.…

Is your memory fast enough? Click to expand... Yes it is, "512 MB 64x64 PC-133 CL2" is what the sticker says. Comes from OWC. i did notice something though. When I put the kerb…

There remains the question if the Lombard memory that you used is electrically compatible with the Pismo, and if not, then whether it (both the Pismo and the memory part) is still …

Tried disconnecting the PRAM the battery, nothing still. I installed the RAM correctly. I'm still lost!!! I tried checking for things that might be dosconnected, but nothing.

http://www.transintl.com/technotes/installram_pismo.htm says the memory electrical spec is somehow different... [?]

trying unplugging the pram battery

Hey guys, I have recently (2 months ago) aquired 2 Powerbook G3 Pismos. One is 400 MHz the other is 500 Mhz. The 400 has a cracked LCD and it doesn't boot. The 500 has "many missin…

The screen doesn't flash, the white led under the screen does. I think you are right about the memory. I found that 1 beep = memory problem, but I don't think its the actual memor…

Yeah thats the ram beeping. My PowerMac G4 did that when I didn't seat ram correctly.

A single beep -> could <- mean a wrong or not well seated RAM module. Regarding the screen flashing: try to connect an external display and see what happens. J

Got a Titanium PowerBook G4 (A1025) that has issues. Symptoms: Turning it on results in a Beep, then the led comes on, then flashes twice, then steady for a little while (couple …
