There's a post over at MacDebate (I think) in the Powerbook area that discusses PCI expansion chassis for the Lombard and Pismo powerbooks. It also has a page reference that takes…

Ok, I see, thanks. Yeah, there are plenty of ports on the new powerbooks. Was just wondering whether it could encorporate PCI which the powerbook lacks and maybe full 5.25" size dr…

I've scanned in a seris of photographs that I want to build a short movie out of. However, when I try to render the movie using the DV codec, playback is very choppy. QT Player rep…

Not even the fastest G4 can currently play DV codec video on High quality at full frame rate. The data rate is just too high. For viewing on the computer, just go into the movie'…

OK, here's another boneheaded question, but it's something that I wonder about almost every day. When I put my PB into my bag, it's always vertical. Should it be carried with the…

When i put it in my *bag*, it goes in port-side down. Since the case is "streamlined", i would think putting all the weight on the front would stress the case out. When i put it in…

I use a Madsononline.com G3 powerbook bag for my pismo 500 and the 1/4 " foam around it makes it so that the pressure around the book is almost equal in every spot, therefore it wo…

I also have a case with 1/4" thick foam, really great. I can then just place it in wither port side up or down and away I go with no probs.

So how do u like the madsonline powerbook bag? Is it worth the $100 price tag on a nylon bag? And also if you had to chose a bag all over again, would you still get the madsonlin…

Sponge- Ive been really paranoid about the keys touching the screen problem that a lot of people have reported where the pressure of the keys on the screen could concieveably cause…

taz, i tried to look up Madsononline.com to look at the bag you refer to, but the server could not be found. i just wanted a visual on the bag. is this the correct url? thanks. …

it is http://www.madsonline.com

I cannot connect with my Wallstreet II internal modem - and testing the modem with software comes out nil: no connection, no dial tone. So, before I go out and purchase a new int…

I don't think the Wallstreet's modem is similar to the modem in the iMac. I believe the Power Macintosh's modem is similar to the one in the Wallstreet. Correct me if I'm wrong, g…

Actually, krabat is absolutely correct that the modems are alike: the tray-loading iMacs, Blue and white G3, and Yikes! (PCI Graphics) G4s all inherited the Wallstreet internal mod…

yes, but how to test it OUTSIDE of the PB? krabat

I don't know.

Anybody know? Thinking: CAN it only be tested when attached to the motherboard, or does a testplatform with powersupply exist, that a super mac-enthusiast might have...? It costs a…

Howdy. This is my first post in the forum, but I'm in need of some advice. I'm a college student, and I'm looking for a laptop because I'll probably be spending 6 months in the Un…

Nobody knows anything 'cept Jobs. OK, now that this is out of the way... Here's my guess: Seybold: OS X beta released (absolutely, for they said they would release in summer). …

I appreciate your reply. I'm still a little wary, what with all the problems posted in this forum with recent Mac laptops, especially the Pismo (notably the key marks/screen impres…

Well, the people I know who bought the Pismo 400 (only one 500) were (and still are) absolutely thrilled. I'm going to buy the 400 MHz PowerBook in september, unless Apple speed-bu…

You know, I was in the same boat right before the Pismo PowerBook came out. I needed a PowerBook, and I bought a Lombard 400, and was quite happy with it. About 2 months later the …

Definitely go with the Pismo. I should have waited to buy mine because I got it before that educational deal started... It's a great machine, but upgrade the RAM as soon as you ge…

The one thing that is likely to encourage Apple to speed bump the PowerBook line is if they introduce new or speed bumbed iBooks. Since the iBook SE runs at 366Mhz and current slow…
