Hi all, On a PowerBook 165c I've installed system 7.5.5. It worked just fine for some months now, but after opening the PB to clean up the inside the date and time keeps changing every two or three seconds. I had the similar problem when the PB was opened before and the solution was to reboot with a sys 7.1 disc, adjust the date/time controlpanel and reboot again from the hard disc. Now this seems not possible anymore. A requester pops op saying that system 7.1 is not compatible with my PowerBook and that I need to use a newer version of the system software. Any suggestions?

I'm assuming you've simply taken a length of 10Base-T cable and plugged it into the ports on each machine. The cable is fine, the machines are fine, the software is probably fine too; it's just the wrong cable. Stndard 10Base-T cables are designed to run from a host (e.g. a Mac) to a 10Base-T hub, a special box that interconnects several hosts together. If you're running directly from host to host you'll need a special crossover cable that switches the receive and transmit lines at one end. I don't know the pinout information so can't tell you how to make your own, but this is almost certainly the problem. If yo ever plan to expand your network, like put a printer on it, get a hub! 8-port hubs aren't all that expensive now and you'll get rid of some cabling headaches. > >Thanks in advance, > >Aiden. > >P.S I wish apple guide and handbook were a bit more informative.

It developed with Netscape a far superior dialer software to anything else on the market. OpenTransport/PPP 1.0 when combined with OpenTransport 1.1.2 and System 7.5.5, is as stable as a rock. No crashes, freezes now felt on my PowerMac 7200/75 for 5 days with this product. Usually, it crashed or froze every day when it hit a web site it couldn't resolve the DNS. Now if the connection goes bad, it simply hangs up, and recognizes that it has hung up. It also tells all the client applications that it has hung up, and to wait until it reconnects before sending any more packets. Other dialers allowed packets to be sent when no connection was present. This one prevents packets from being sent unless it is properly connected. Now its interface isn't the best in the world, but its capabilities are astounding. It will properly connect applications requesting to send packets, if you set the preferences to do so. It has CCL scripts for all the most popular modems built in, including Practical Peripherals V. 34. It gives you a fully detailed log of the connection upon request. Be sure if you do install it, to remove all remnants of the old dialer first, and back up the old dialer settings. Your Mileage May Vary. I am just a satisfied customer of a free dialer.

Perhaps someone will be able to give me an answer to this toughie. I recently had my PB540 upgraded to a PPC using the Apple PPC card (110MHz 603e, I think). Everything seemed to work fine when I got it back >From the shop that did the work, although they had to install System 7.5.2 over 7.5.3. When I reinstalled 7.5.3, suddenly I had seven copies of my hard drive on the desktop. If I hook the PB up to my Performa as a hard drive, only one drive shows up. When I start the PB up by itself, even using the disk tools sent by Apple with the hardware upgrade, all seven drives show up. They occupy SCSI numbers 0 to 6. Since then I have done everything I can think of to get rid of those hard drives--reformatting the hard drive, wiping it with Norton Utilities, doing a low-level format with the disk setup utility from Apple. Nothing seems to work. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions this list might provide.
