If you don't use ethernet, then switch off Appletalk (put it on remote only from its control panel) and file sharing. That should speed it up a bit.

Hey friends, I don't intend to demean any of the previous postings on this problem, but I don't think anyone has identified the real cause of the startup delay problem. Here it is:…

Good, indepth explaination margrave, just the way I like it. Thanks! -joe- ------------------ iMac (Lime 233), iBook (Tangerine), SE/30.

Unfortunately, while that my be a problem with some of us that isn't the case here. The servers folder (in the systemfolder) is empty).

Is your ethernet connection set to use DHCP? If so, at every boot it will search for a DHCP server and if one isn't found in about 15 seconds, it assigns itself a 169.x.x.x number.…

That might well be it, time is about right and the TCP/IP control panel was set to DHCP THX

Margrave, Do you work for Apple? I compliment you on your deep, in depth knowlege of the MacOS platform and familiarity with TechSupport. To the point - switch off the unnecces…

One more tip to speed up your iBook's startup is to hold down the command(Apple) and option keys while opening up the Memory control panel. At the bottom you'll see a section on "S…

hi from New Zealand does anyone know is there is a way to actually use the airport slot under the keyboard as a PCMCIA slot? The airport card is a PC card - drivers from a g3 power…

well, most PCMCIA cards have some type of port on the end (either firewire, USB, or modem/ethernet) so IF one could be put in the iBook's airport slot, the keyboard would probably …

It isn't a PCMCIA slot; it's an IDE port. I didn't know that anyone still called it PCMCIA. (You know the joke.)

well - i read that the airport was a std lucent OEM pcmcia card - i want to be able to mount a pc flashcard from my prof. digital camera actually - no port issues - it fits ok - i'…

Badcat: I'd like to find a PCMCIA reader for USB, too, but I have 2MB SRAM cards. I know the Antec reader sold by Outpost doesn't work (I'm sending one back now) but I don't know …

To clarify: the Antec reader doesn't work with SRAM cards, though ATA flash and others should be OK. It's a well-made piece of equipment, and the tech support at Antec is first-cl…

From what I understand, the Airport <b>Card</b> is IDE, but the Airport <b>Base Station</b> actually contains a Lucent CardB…

I'm not new to networking, but this problem really stumps me, it's not unique, but there have been no solutions I could find, so I'm asking here. I have an iBook,Rev.A iMac, and an…

Hmmm...That is a bit odd. I'm going to assume you tested the cables to make sure they work (by switching the devices they are connected to)...did you check the hub to make sure all…

In response to your questions, the hub works, as do the cables, I have once had the Ethernet work, and only once...... I'm run OS 9, 160 MB of RAM in the iBook, 128 in the DV SE, 3…

There was recently an issue about the iBook's auto-negotiation (telling it whether it's hooked up to a 10 or 100BaseT network).. I don't know the particulars, though, so do a sear…

Nope, I have a different port then indicated in the TIL, and anyway it only affects one out of three, when it should 2 out three if I had that hub, which I don't.

Does anyone remember the apple ad campaign for the first Powerbook G3? It showed an aggressive shark desktop image fitting the 1024x768 LCD of th PB. I'd like to have that image o…

My FireWire PowerBook, named Phoenix, burns Pentium notebooks as a daily chore... I've got a really, really cool Photoshopped (by yours truely) picture of a phoenix and FireWire im…

G R E A T ! Thanks alot!

I'm getting a Pismo and dad has one. What I reckon apple should go back to doing is making docks for powerbooks. A Pismo with a dock containing drive bays, PCI slots would be da bo…
