While my hard drive acted like it was totaly dead I was able to resuce it and all the data was safe, Disk warrior did its work off course, but my version of Password control panal …

Finally received my Lombard today. After running Disk First Aid and backing up the hard drive, I wiped it clean and reinstalled OS 9. Then came the juggernaut; the OS 9.1 update. H…

9.1 worked fine with my Lombard. Password security is specifically prohibited for Pismo, not Lombard, although it did cause some moderate problems for me after the 9.1 upgrade unti…

I have not had this problem, but on another site, i have heard of one fix. You have to reset the entire computer. Remove the batteries, CD drive etc, and unplug everything from the…

Lombard owner running 9.1 here. No problem at all and I crash my computer all the time while developing software. I find It's much more stable. I don't know it it's Palm Desktop or…

I've been using 9.1 on my PISMO for a while now and not only is it more stable but not much problems with Multi user. have you run Norton or Techtool Pro on your disk? that mught…

I have a Lombard 333, and OS9.1 No major problems. The article MB refers to clearly states that Pismo (G3 firiwire) PB is incompatable with the 8.6 version of Password security. …

400 MHz Lombard machine here... Upgraded to 9.1: absolutely no problems. MacOS X Public Beta works like a charm on the machine as well.

I have had similar problems on my Lombard... my suspicion has been the PRAM has gotten hosed to the point that it won't boot. The solution has almost always been to completely res…

I think that the Lombards may all have a problem where they just die. Mine had this and had to be sent to the Netherlands to be repaired. Even after the repair, though, it has ha…

My Lombard and 1st generation Wall Street Powerbooks are both running 9.1 with no problems. I never attempt an upgrade with multiple users or password protection "armed." Perhaps t…

as far as I know, the internal little rechargeable battery can only be recharged by your big batteries. this means, when you removed the heavy battery, because you're using the pow…

"dmcnickle", Did you purchase the RAM from The Apple Store? If you did, it is likely that you cannot place the "Lombard/101" RAM into the "Pismo", because "Lombard" does not requi…

i believe the answer is no, as i read recently at macosrumors. it has something to do with the bus speed bump from 66 to 100: the old memory is just too slow to deal with those w…

"Dammit", I think what ATi means is that it can use 8 megabytes of system RAM for graphics. That happens a lot in the low-quality eMachines (gulp) computers. I would hope the Powe…

Try dumping the SerialShimLib extension.

what is your processor and ram config??? Crow

Hi, I had similar problems. They diminished when I increased the memory available to the DVD Player application to 20 Mb. I also found a TIL article (#58620) on Apple's website t…

"mjansens", The blurred and choppy DVD playback on the PowerBook G3 "Pismo" series is because Apple, most likely to save money, did not include a hardware decoder. Most Wintel ma…
