2003 / Need your advise (TS)

« on: August 13, 2003, 09:22:56 PM »

Thanks guys for the advise so far but I don't have a DSL connection to the Internet, it's dial-up. I do have an Airport card in my TiBook though. About going to change the name of my computer in the System Prefs, File Sharing tip, I gave it a try but the name was changed on the Screen Saver but not on the Login Pannel.

Hi everybody, sorry I haven't been around lately but now I'm back and I need your help on a couple of things. First thing is I did a new Install (10.2.6) on my wifes G4, but I made a boo-boo when I spelled her name in the User or Computer's Owners name box. Is there a way to re-write or change her name so that her name is spelled correctly this time without having to reinstall again.
   Second we use Dialup AOL X at home and I recently connected her G4 DVI Desktop and my G4 DVI TiBook together via ethernet with a Belkin 5 port 10/100 network switch so we could file share and network our Macs. My question is, would it be possible and how to share our Internet Dialup connection or not? I really appreciate your input on this and keep up the good work TS.

2003 / Help exorcise OS X to boot on OS 9 -G4 MD

« on: May 07, 2003, 07:48:00 PM »

Hi, please if anyone knows how to errase OS X permanently from my G4 Mirror Drive and Install Os 9 and only boot from it. This would solve all my problems., I tried to errase my HD and install OS 9 only on it but after the fact the G4 would not start up from my OS 9.2.2 Full install disk.
  Please tell me there is a way as I can't use any of my old hardware in Os X and will only work on Os 9.

Thank you Kelly for the info/links I'll check them out., but I forgot to include that my B/W G3 300MHZ also has an ATI 7000 PCI Video Card and a Sonnett ATA 100 PCI IDE controller card. Will this affect the DVD Patch and not let it work?

2003 / B/W G3 and DVD Player

« on: April 30, 2003, 04:36:00 PM »

Hi,
      Does anyone know how I can get my B/W G3 300 MHZ to work with a DVD Rom Player that I bought from a used G4 400 MHZ (used). It works in OS 10.2.5, but not in OS 9.2.2.
      My system profiler says...DVD-Rom drive
Driver Version 1.4.8
Vendor Hitachi
Revision # 016E
Product ID DVD-Rom GD-7000
      I have tried to install DVD player 2.7 and it won't work, but in OS 10.2.5 with DVD Player 3.1 it runs good. I need it to work in OS 9.2.2 as well so my kids don't paly around on Os X

Hi Kelly an thanks for you reply, at laest someone got back to me. Yes my G4 733 has a superDrive, but my B/W G3 doesn't it only has a Cd rom, I would like to put a DVD burner, but I heard that it would only work with and orginal G4 chip not an upgrade.

Hi, I have a G3/G4 that I want to upgrade with a faster processor but I don't want to use one of those Sonnet etc accelerator chips. I want to use an original one, plus I heard that those accelerator G4 chips don't work like the real ones and that IDVD will not recognize a DVD Burner unless I have the real thing.
   Can anyone tell me if there is such a place? I found other places where they sell you the mother board but not the cpu.
   My G3 is a B/W 300 Mhz and my G4 is 733 Mhz, I would like at least to make my G3 faster.
