2003 / Help! Airport card in a Lombard

« on: May 08, 2003, 11:42:00 PM »

Harv:  I also tried a D-Link DWL650 without success.  I must be doing something else wrong.

DaveF:  Thanks for the links.  I looked at both of them during the last couple of days in my fruitless search for knowledge.  (See my comment above to Harv).  I will keep attempting alternate solutions.

Kelly:  Also, thanks for the links.  This is a site that I wasnt' familiar with.  I will review it further.  If nothing else, it looks like a good place for future info.  Thanks again!

2003 / Help! Airport card in a Lombard

Has anybody tried to install an Airport card in a Lombard 333mhz (as of last night  with OS10.2.6)?  All info I have gathered says that it can be done, but I cannot find specifics.  I have a DLink 614+ wireless router.  Any input is greatly appreciated!

Al:  Not at this moment.  I am HARD at work (he says while standing up and looking over the cubical walls for any sort of supervisor).  I will take another look tonight when I get home.  I'm getting the feeling that it's time to try a different dard drive.

Kelly:  Apparently it's a mystery.  I may just invest in a new hard drive to see if it is recognized.

Al:  Sorry, I never did mention that it is a later revision- 400mhz.  I am using a Norton CD, so I will attempt(?) to allocate more memory and try it again.  I had little success repairing anything before since it did not recognize the drive.  Failing all else, I will try to erase and reformat with the Install CD.  As I mentioned, the Rescue CD would not allow me to repair.

Kelly:  Not really. I have an iMac (possible but quite difficult) and a Powerbook (physically too large).  

I CAN access the data from the other drive in the B&W.  After all my difficulties with the 8gb drive, I installed Jaguar on the 6gb Hard Drive.  After the install, I was able to transfer documents to the Jag drive, so I now have access to the data, the computer just doesn't 'identify' it and will not allow me to repair/install new OS.

Is all this making any sense to you?

Kelly:  Thanks for the links.  I will study them when I get a moment (I'm at work right now, and it's a bit hectic this morning). I was not aware that B&S had corruption problems.  

I have Norton Disk Doctor for OS9.  Does that tell you anything?

neokm:  yes, I got that message several times.  Every time I restarted and still was not able to get the Chooser to select the printer.  At this point, I'm not so much worried about the printer as I am about the inability to find the hard drive.  I'm giving serious thought to giving up on the printer problem.  Epson tech support doesn't seem able to solve it either.

G3 B&W 256mb ram OS9.1 with one 6gb hard drive and another 8g hard drive.
I was attempting in vain last night to install the drivers for an Epson printer and after install, it would not restart. I attempted to restart w/o extensions- nothing. I used Norton (I know how many people feel about Norton, but it's all I have) but it would not recognize the 8g drive that has all my Apps, documents, etc on it. (I just installed Jaguar on the other drive- see previous post.) Running out of ideas, I attempted to reinstall with OS9 Recovery disk, and it won't let me do that either! I'm stumped. Any ideas?
