IIRC I installed all the .pkg files from here: http://www.unna.org/unnasearch/entry.php?pkey=157 downloaded and installed the wavelan drivers and it eventually worked with a lot …

i'm having troubles getting it to work on my emate. how do i configure the driver? what files do I need to install from the NIE? and why dont the lights come on on my wavelan.

I don't know but I like the idea. It would drive my wife nuts! :lol:

Is it possible for me to use the IrDA port on my Pismo to send out custom signals, like remote control codes?

If it makes you feel any better, all but one of the iceBooks I've purchased from eBay had no less than three replacement Ethernet ID stickers under the keyboard, while some have ha…

thanks anyway

But mine works, just missing the sleep magnet :/

I thought about turning it into a headless server. Chuck a flavor of Linux on it, a DynDNS client and I'd be all set. They are noiseless and don't produce much heat. Hey, actually…

Hey, If you want, you can HAVE my iBook. It is a 500MHz. say $120 +the price of shipping?

If yours is also the GPU's departure from this hateful existence, or at least a letting go from the MLB, find trag's post here about using modelling clay to protect adjacent compon…

If you have nothing to lose, might as well try the "home BGA reflow" procedure. Get yourself a heat gun and some bourbon (ok, sake will do). The drink's for you, the heat gun's for…

So my G3 800 iBook's logic board bought the farm the other day. This is the second one it's had, too. Of course Apple's repair program has long ended, so now I have a scratched, wh…

If I get this up and running, I'll definitely keep an eye out for an upgrade kit, equant -- thanks. It is too bad that the TCP/IP connection isn't persistent; I wonder why they mad…

I've had an eMate for well I don't know. I got it new after they discontinued, so 10 years? I've used it for many things, and am quite fond of it. I do think the HWR is a bit qu…

If you do have any plroblems getting it up and running or need extra parts then this chappie, http://newtonsales.com/ does sales and repairs. Nothing wrong with putting a bit of m…

I deeply appreciate the tips, beachycove. I will perform the hard reset dance at the first opportunity. It would be nice to get it working. It looks like a neat little machine for…

The eMate is a great machine for its intended uses. Accept none of the usual insults regarding your new toy. I have fiddled with several of these over the past months, and while m…

Thanks, Rodus! That website seems to be *the* Newton place -- I'll be spending a lot of time there, I see (assuming that I resurrect this unit). As for surfing, I've got my expect…

Panther runs fine on 512mb RAM (the system holds about 128 at idle). As with any machine, the faster the CPU, the better. At least a 400 for decent speed and FireWire capabilities.…

I've found Newtscape to be the best with NetHopper a very close second, a word of warning though, surfing on an eMate is going to be slooooow. It's slow on my 2000 which has a 162…

It sure does -- many thanks, ChristTrekker. Have you tried any of these? I'm up for a certain amount of experimentation, but I'd also like to benefit from the collective wisdom of …

A little Googling finds browsers called Courier and LunaSuite. The first is GPL, the second is discontinued. Does that help at all?

For $4 I got my first emate. Doesn't work at the moment, but assuming that it can be induced to do so at some point, what choices are there for browsers? I understand that there's …

None of the iMac G3's have USB 2....

X.3.9 Panther IMHO, its overheads are less then Tiger and you still get most of the functionality. Just make sure you've taken the RAM up to 1GB. I'm assuming here that you mean …
