Just for the hell of it, I decided to look into this problem again. I was FINALLY able to get all of my data off the drive that was in there, when it crapped out. So I stuck it bac…

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 …

Well, I decided to import the "lost" posts last night. At first, I wasn't going to bother because I thought it was only 300 or less posts, but after I ran an SQL query to compare t…

Nice. But what we really need is a USENET gateway to 68kmla.org.

I spent quite a bit of time last night and this morning improving the Usenet post-indexing system. Before, it wasn't always grouping posts into their correct thread, and instead wa…

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 us…

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

Unfortunately, most of those you have listed are Google groups, not Usenet newsgroups. I found a 68k linux Usenet group, but it was full of spam. :O

Hi, I've opened a public gate-way (read-only) to comp.sys.apple2 at my site. http://macgui.com/usenet/I will be adding more newsgroups shortly. Any suggestions? Click to expand.…

It's probably a nicer interface Click to expand... Certainly more lynx-friendly Click to expand... I don't know how long it will stay that way, since I'm working on integr…

I don't know. It's on my server, so I like that. It's probably a nicer interface, and I'll be working on making it fit into my main site. There's a load of options for searching. Y…

What advantage does this have over Google Groups? http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.apple2/topics?gvc=2

Update: I have 20,300 articles in 2,300 threads from January 2007 up until yesterday (none have been posted today yet). I have no idea what the retention rate is going to be like, …

It's not looking good, she's dead as a door nail now. I've swapped the batteries, put in PCI video card, disconnected every IDE cable, started swapping ram chips. I don't what's ne…

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

My gigabit does this. Make sure your video card is fully seated, it sometimes comes loosened on one end or the other when you open the case a few times.

I'm fixing a G4 MDD Powermac and it has this annoying problem. This computer will chime on startup and will make some hard drive noises it will not display any video on the DVI or …

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

OS 9 can't do "WEP passwords" very well. Is your base station a genuine AirPort base station, or is it 3rd party? If it's 3rd party, the password can't be used in OS 9. You'll h…

Thanks for the reply! The base station is a genuine last gen Airport Extreme. Does that change something? Actually I could as well go with the MAC address filter.

Hi all, I have a nearly pristine Pismo with 512 Mb of Ram, happily running both Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Mac OS 9.2.2 on a 60 Gb hard drive. It has an Airport card, which I can use jus…
