What are the IP addresses on your network? Are they both within the same subnet? Can you ping the machines in question?

Ok, thanks to all you guys, it finally works. I fired up my orange iBook just to be sure, and it worked just as expected on wifi. So I knew it was software-related on the Pismo, an…

If its any indication, I got 7 years from the 8x TEAC drive that came with my 1400 (which I've had since new). And my iMac's original Panasonic CD-ROM drive (which is a notebook un…

Although it is likely that the little notebook drives are indeed more fragile than their desktop counterparts, it does not necessarily follow that notebook drives are all destined …

^^^ ECC is not your friend in a Mac; I've had no luck with it in any model. Which is too bad, since I have a stack of the stuff.

Slot load drives, no matter what brand, will still break under heavy usage, especially if often used for writing discs. You don't have much choice with your PowerBook, but normally…

Double-sided RAM cards should pose no problem, as that implies low-density chips as the CRT iMacs need, The specification, which you may not have if you were not aware that you ne…

Never had an issue with double sided. I even had two 512MB sticks in my 350MHz once.

I got some 2x256mb pc100 sdram chips recently, and they dont work with the iMac. They appear to be double-sided (chips on both sides). Is there an issue with double-sided sdram me…

What are some good Pioneer replacement drives that would be "compatible"? Would all slot-loaders that would fit work? How can I find out more? xlr8yourmac.com is out-dated but is t…

Ok, I took time today to look at that.I installed Airport Software 2.0.4 (I had 1.2 installed, that came with OS 9.2.2). Now it kinda works better: I can connect to my network usin…

Just an FYI, it's a huge pain in the ass to do sort of drive replacement on a 12" PB.

I agree about the Pioneer drives. I've never had bad luck with one, either personally or in the field.

Sometimes it can be quirky. So some restarts. Make sure TCP/IP is set to your WAVELAN card, and that you are connecting via DCHP. Set AppleTalk to infrared just to mitigate any …

Hadn't time to start up the Pismo last week. But I bet it'll will work with the latest Airport software, as said by freundling. I'll let you know!

So, did you get it fixed? If so, what fixed it? Peace, Drew

I'm not a fan of Matsushita drives. Apple's firmware is unnecessarily restrictive about what media types are supported, and Matsushita steadfastly abides by its agreement with Appl…

Hey Guys: This doesn't really apply to Marketplace but my Superdrive is on the fritz. It can't really read discs well and has been burning duds for the last month. I think I need …

It WILL work. Make sure you install the latest Airport 2.0.4 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120120

My Lucent WaveLAN card had the same problem. Turned off encryption, and used the MAC restriction feature instead.
