Thank you all. This is very helpful. The gist of it in my judgment is that the re-celling of a 2400c battery would be slightly speculative, but worth the price of speculation in t…

Best I can tell the controller boards are all custom but the heart of the intelligence is in chips that can be custom or commercial parts. The intelligent battery controller in th…

You might also want to search this forum for Wally's posts on this subject. He's done the most thorough experimentation and research of anyone I know. I'll briefly share my experie…

Ok, I understand. Thanks for the info!

But I certainly can connect to an OS X machine when typing its IP in the Chooser. Isn't that the same? Click to expand... No. When you enter an IP address in the Chooser, you …

Hi, I will leave you a PM just a bit easier that way. Since I do not always log in here. Take Care

Does the new model AirPort Extereme route AppleTalk packets over the wireless interface? Click to expand... That's a good question. It certainly does over ethernet, since my ol…

Oooh that is sweet about the Oracle Installation. I still have that disk for sale if anyone wants it.

Thanks for the JSR. I was looking through more manuals, trying to figure out exactly what a PR#2 did. The page with the Pascal 1.1 entry points was right across from the page with …

Ok, strange. I can ping every machine in my network (wifi and wired) from the Pismo in wifi, and I can ping the Pismo from my MBP (in wifi too) and from other OS 9 wired machines.…

What are the IP addresses on your network? Click to expand... 192.168.1.x Are they both within the same subnet? Click to expand... Yes. Can you ping the machi…

If you want to avoid the work of programming the SCC (Serial Communications Controller) in your IIgs directly, you want to use the Pascal entry points in the firmware. The SCC is …

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.

Thou sayest sooth. I misappreciated Byrd's difficulty. The sideslot accepts the bent ribbon-cable by forcefit, and it is only logical to expect that it can be removed with force.…

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…
