Any USB adaptor other than PCMCIA can be used in Powerbook G3?

Hi all,
Any USB adaptor other than PCMCIA can be used in Powerbook G3 (as no USB)?
My powerbook G3 is installed with MacOSX 10.2 and i want to access my portable Hard Disk (format under windows platform) . . . is that possible to access like "plug and play" using USB adaptor ?
Many thanks.

white_tiger,
You can use both FireWire and USB CardBus PC cards. CardBus supports both 32-bit and the older PCMCIA 16-bit protocols.
A FireWire PC card is natively supported in all versions of OSX...no drivers to install.
USB 1.1/2.0 PC cards are also natively supported but it gets a little more complicated:
- The older USB 1.1 cards work fine under all versions of OSX.
- The newer USB 2.0 cards also work under all versions of OSX with this caveat: Apple added USB 2.0 support to OSX 10.2.8 and later; if your USB 2.0 card does not have the NEC-based USB2 chipset and you are running 10.2.8 or later, the card will not work properly. USB 2.0 PC cards with the wrong chipset, however, will work properly with OSX up through 10.2.7 but at the slower 1.1 speeds..
A few other points:
- PC cards supply only a minimal amount of bus power, so if you want to connect a portable FW or USB HD, it will need its own power supply.
- A Mac can only read/write to Fat and Fat32 drives; OSX 10.3 and 10.4 can see an NTFS drive but as read-only.

  • What software other than outlook can I use with iphone 5c for contacts, email and calendar?

    What software will work with iPhone 5c where I can manage all contacts, emails and calendar and sync with my business desktop computer? From what I have seen from co-workers Microsoft outlook and iPhone doesn't work well together.

    But the problem is, that it Did used to do this. It synced for a year and a half and now only in the past four months has it not synced...
    Any thoughts?

  • Any render settings other than "lossless" close to lossless?

    Any render settings other than "lossless" close to lossless.....
    and is the lossless avi setting truly lossless? It's 20 MB for a 2 minute video.
    Dynamic link to PP for  final and only render is no doubt the best way to go but I want to explore this avenue.
    CS5

    Thanks, Mylenium. I was initially(and still am) taken aback by the 2 minute 20,000,000 KB rendered file which I mistakenly said in my initial post was 20MB but is 20,000 MB unless my math is wrong or the file shows up in the folder with a couple extra zeros.  A 2 minute rendered file thats 20,000,000 KB doesn't make sense to me. The original file the 2 min clip is taken from is only 600,000 KB.
    Regarding the render settings, I was refering to the Output Module dropdown choices in the render queue "Lossless" is the default but H.264, AVI  DV NTSC 48kHz, etc... are the options listed. The 20,000,000 KB lossless file seemed ridiculously big for 2 minutes and I was trying to find out a comparable setting to the default  "Lossless" without the large file size.  Right now I'm confused as to why that rendered file is shown in the folder I rendered it to as 20,000,000 KB. That's huge!

  • Is there any way to an index that can be used to include the "OR condition "?

    Hello I have some questions.
    The test was conducted in the following procedure .
    create table test
    c1 varchar2(10),
    c2 varchar2(10),
    primary key(c1)
    create index test_idx1 on test(c2);

    By including the "OR condition " in this test does not use the index.
    Is there any way to an index that can be used to include the "OR condition "?
    Thanks.
    GooGyum.

    A database cannot in general use indexes in this way for an 'or' involving two different columns. However, for this specific example one can easily rewrite the query using 'UNION' to use the relevant indexes while still giving the same (correct) result:
    Command> explain select * from test t1 where t1.c1 = 'AAAAAAAAAA' union select * from test t2 where t2.c2 = 'AAAAAAAAAA';
    Query Optimizer Plan:
      STEP:                1
      LEVEL:               1
      OPERATION:           RowLkRangeScan
      TBLNAME:             TEST
      IXNAME:              TEST
      INDEXED CONDITION:   T1.C1 = 'AAAAAAAAAA'
      NOT INDEXED:         <NULL>
      STEP:                2
      LEVEL:               2
      OPERATION:           RowLkRangeScan
      TBLNAME:             TEST
      IXNAME:              TEST_IDX2
      INDEXED CONDITION:   T2.C2 = 'AAAAAAAAAA'
      NOT INDEXED:         <NULL>
      STEP:                3
      LEVEL:               1
      OPERATION:           OrderBy
      TBLNAME:             <NULL>
      IXNAME:              <NULL>
      INDEXED CONDITION:   <NULL>
      NOT INDEXED:         <NULL>
      STEP:                4
      LEVEL:               2
      OPERATION:           UnionMergeSort
      TBLNAME:             <NULL>
      IXNAME:              <NULL>
      INDEXED CONDITION:   <NULL>
      NOT INDEXED:         <NULL>
    Maybe you can apply a similar trick? If you know there is no possibility of duplicate rows then you can further optimise this (in terms of performance) by using UNION ALL.

  • Hi when i switch on the macc 41 files open at once can not open any files while this is happing can still use AI & PS and the internet any help thanks...

    Hi when i switch on the macc 41 files open at once can not open any files while this is happing can still use AI & PS and the internet any help thanks...

    Are you wanting to stop the 41 files from opening at once or is this intentional? At what point do they open when you power on the mac or when you boot Illustrator? What OS version are you using?
    If you can  answer the questions above can provide better advice, but you may be running into something similar:

    Reply address: is it possible to use another reply address other than the pop address used in my account. I have a special work account and would like to send emails with that address as my reply address...or sent from address

    i found out how to do this finally!
    1) set up google gmail account to forward your emails to (from the [email protected])
    2) go to your gmail account
    3) go to settings (cog in right hand corner)
    4) go to 'accounts and import'
    5) go to 'send mail as'
    6) click 'Add another email address you own' - add your [email protected] address
    7) google will send a verification email with code to that email address.
    8) enter code
    9) go back to gmail account  >'send mail as' and select 'make default'
    10) close mac 'mail' program and reopen it.
    as long as you have gmail account selected as the primary account in MAIL - mail will now come throught as being sent from that  [email protected] address!!

  • When I create a stickie note, I can not save any font size other than the default.  How do I save a stickie with a larger or different font?

    Unlikely, I'm afraid.
    The LMS has no control over the playbar that pauses or plays the Captivate content.
    In a Multi SCORM package, the LMS also may be showing a TOC in the SCORM player with links to launch the lesson modules.  This TOC is in addition to the TOC inside the Captivate project file which gives access to sections of the module by jumping to slides that begin those sections.  But the LMS doesn't usually give you any control over the look and feel or functionality of that TOC either. 
    If your client is adamant that they want complete control over these areas, then your best option may be NOT to build this course with Captivate but build it from the ground up with another tool.  E.g. Flash, or Dreamweaver.  Either way, that will add a lot more time and expense to the project.  But if the client has the budget and is unwilling to budge on their requirement, then that's what I would be telling them to do.

  • What tools other than cardman can upload applet through UBS port?

    The javacard2.2.1 guid says that it supports serial port. But my card reader connect the pc through UBS.
    Currently I use cardman from JCOPTool to communicate with card.
    Could you please tell my other ways to do that? Thanks.

    You can write your own loader as long as you have an interface to the reader. PCSC is the defacto standard to do that and all reader manufacturers support it.
    You can also use a kit provided by any card vendor. I recommend you write your own so you can develop a good understanding of how it all works.

    Create a NEW account/ID using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • Can I use my Powerbook 12" without the internal HD?

    Hi everybody!
    I have a Hard Drive (160GB, Samsung) in my Powerbook12", that's about to fail. I bought it less than a year ago, so I can get a new one for free, except that I have to pay for, or do, the extraction from the computer. As some time may elapse before they send me the replacement drive that I will install, I wondered if I would be able to temporarily use my Powerbook, booting from an external firewire hard drive, but with no internal hard drive. Thanks for your help!

    Thank you for your answer. In fact, I was wondering if the physical absence of the internal HD might be a problem when reassembling the computer to use it, this led me to the idea of installing the old initial internal drive, which I was given back when my present hard drive was installed. Does this make any sense?
    Or can I really reassemble my computer leaving the hard drive bracket empty, and make it work?
    More generally, are there other options for upgrading a 12" 1.33 GHz Powerbook, apart from increasing the hard drive size and RPM?
