It's the weirdest thing. Both the iBook and the Lombard are on 10.3.9. I am not using a hub, just connecting the two computers with a cable. This cable works to connect the Lombar…

None of my iBooks have ever had a truly bad Ethernet system, but my original BlueBerry iBook has the little retainer tab broken off of the jack, so I must be certain that the conne…

Failure of the iBook to connect with either of two other Macs that connect happily to each other argues either bad hardware or bad software in the iBook. What OS in the iBook? Ca…

My newly acquired iBook G3 600 seems good in every way, except: I can't network with ethernet. I tried to connect it with the iMac G5, they didn't see each other. My Lombard conne…

It will connect fine over localtalk to a ppc machine running Classic (and NCU) under X.4 or lower if the network is run through an Appletalk Router.

UPDATE: uninstalled the offical driver, loaded the open source one, rebooted, and still nothing. Could it be because I have the RXTX library installed? I had to install it or the …

Ok I did a upgrade to 10.4 from 10.2, but it didn't seem to like it so I want to try and format and then install 10.4 but it now didn't boot from the DVD drive. What do I do? *Upd…

Tiger has all the drivers for the Radeon 7000 so don't panic, it's not a great card but it is much better then the 128. Your G4 can take a mix of PC100 and 133 and you should have…

Ok I updated to Tiger and now it works fine, I have some questions as a new mac user. Is the PCI Radeon 7000 I popped in fine? I didn't install drivers. Doews Tiger already have go…

Well, I also have a Belkin USB to DB-9 adapter. It was made for PDAs, and only partially seems to work with the mac, but it has lights on it for TX and RX, so it might work better …

The eMate may require the Mac serial port to send data, the expensive mini din 8 USB adapter has the correct chip in it made to talk to Macs. If anyone has one that they could test…

The problem may be the drivers for the Prolific PL2303 based USB to serial adapter. Saw this on the MacBS2 site: 'These adapters have the advantage that they are usually very inex…

A few more details will help us, who cannot even see your Mac, to help you. Does '10.2' in your sig. mean Jaguar (OS X v10.2)? Is it 10.2.8 (in About this Mac.)? That is the bes…

One of the many things I got in a trade today was a sweet AGP G4, but I can't seem to get it online, I set the network stuff to automatic and tried rebooting and unplugging and rep…

Just an update, I just pulled out another mini DIN-8 to DB-25 male adapter I have from the serial version of the TI Graph Link. It has some pins gone on the DB-25 side, but that is…

I've just installed it. No registering reminder and no WEP problems. Maybe it's been opened up with the latest download? My 20 meg storage card turned up today, works like a cha…

I wish that the driver was totally free and WEP worked no matter. Also, that little slip that comes up every time I soft reset telling me to register gets annoying. WPA would be n…

Finally got my MP 2000 online using a Lucent WaveLAN silver card. 3 hours it took me to work out the settings! Kudos to the Japanese guy for writing the drivers. Click to expa…

Ah yes, it may be null modem. But the way I have the Apple II set up, I have a 25 pin male to 9 pin female serial cable off another older external modem, so if this is a "null mode…

Just remembered (cleaning up the other day) I think I've a Diamond 56K external modem at my parents with the right mac serial --> DB9 connector; will report back soon JB

Any ideas? Click to expand... You may be inadvertently using a null-modem, or may need to use a null-modem to swap the TX/RX wires over. Years ago there was a common little th…

yeah, it's a prolific based USB to serial adapter, got it at microcenter for $30 after seeing the price of the keyspan twin serial adapter ($80!!! ). I was surprised this works wit…

I've a Lucent Wavelan Gold but the driver installed doesn't work. I assume I need to find the Newton Internet kit, but am having difficulty working out where it can be found? Tha…

Funnily enough, I did the exact same thing last night and had the exact same problem - Newton 2100 - Prolific PL2303 chipset based USB ---> serial adapter - Mac serial…
