  • Using DVD drives for Wallsteet Powerbooks

    I recently bought a used PowerBook G3 Wallstreet. Was interested in eventually obtaining a Combo CD-RW and DVD drive.
    1. are these kind of drives available for a Wallstreet PowerBook G3 and how much do they run?
    2. How easy are they to install?
    3. I heard that a DVD decoder card is required to play DVD's where can I find one

    Michael,
    Unfortunately, the Wallstreet has a non-standard connector in its optical drive media bay caddy; this is unlike the Lombard and newer powerbooks that use an industry-standard connector. As such, you are limited to:
    - the DVD-ROM drive that Apple shipped in Wallstreets that had the optional DVD Player Kit;
    - both VST and MCE several years ago offered a media bay CD-RW specifically for the Wallstreet; the VST unit was non-bootable;
    - VST offered a DVD player kit that included a DVD-ROM plus the DVD Decoder PC card;
    - any DVD-ROM drive for the Wallstreet plus the DVD Decoder PC card will allow playing of DVDs but only in 9.x...10.x is unsupported on the Wallstreet and Lombard;
    - you can in fact buy a new decoder card for $20 from MCE (originally $100):

    The DVD-ROM and CD-RW media bay drives are getting long in the tooth so it may be difficult to find good units.
    You do have options for burners, however. Buy an inexpensive FireWire PC card plus an inexpensive FireWire DVD-R burner and it will be a superior combination versus the media bay burners.

  • Using DVD drive in iMac G4 for iMac G3 in Target Disk Mode-- won't read DVD

    Hello,
    I have an iMac G3 without a DVD driver. I'm trying to use the DVD driver in my other iMac G4 using the Target Disk Mode feature. But when I start the iMac G3 holding down the option key, it only lists the hard drive of each computer and not the DVD that I'm trying to install.
    I have done my best trying to search on here to no avail. I also posted this same topic in the iMac G3 forum without any success. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    AJ Nealey

    Hi, 
    Have you tried doing FTDM with a different DVD/CD in the iMac G4's drive?
    Have you ever changed the Optical drive in the iMac G4?
    Try disconnecting both machines from the mains power for an hour or so. This has been known to reset the FW ports (I accept that this is probably not the issue as the HDDs are working; no harm in trying though).

  • How to flash bios on Sun Fire X2100  (without cd/dvd drive ) from solaris.

    Hi I have the following problem. I need to udpdate bios in my sun fire x2100 (not the m2 version). Installed system on it is the latest solaris 10. I have also one laptop with sxce b107. I need to update bios to support zfs root/mirror.
    Both devices are int the one subnet.
    I download supplement cd from sun, but I was pretty amazed that there is available only remote update from rhel (32bit) or boot from cd/dvd drive.
    Any help is welcome.

    1. If an OS is installed:
    - log in as you described
    - shutdown the server with `init 0`
    - this should bring you to the OK prompt
    - Insert the bootable system software CDROM into the CDROM drive
    - On the OK prompt, type `boot cdrom`
    2. If no OS is installed:
    - connect to the serial management port with your PC (Hyperterminal)
    -> NOTE: you will need a DB-25 Adapter (Part No. 530-2889)
    connect this adapter to the serial port of your PC, then connect the adapter
    with an RJ45 cable to the serial management port of the server
    -> Serial Port Settings in Hyper Terminal:
    Duplex: Full
    Bit Rate: 9600
    Parity: None
    Databits: 8
    Stopbit: 1
    Flow Control: Xon/Xoff
    VT100 Emulation (if applicable): ON
    - change to the OK prompt by typing `break`
    -> if this does not work, try `reset -x`
    - make sure your OS Installation CDROM is in the drive
    - at the OK prompt, type `boot cdrom`

  • IMac Turns Off when start using DVD Drive

    I first noted this problem when I try to install windows and thought that was a boot camp problem: every time it start the instalation then shutdown (no warning, it seens like it was unplugged). I tried Vista DVD and Windows XP CD (both original medias already tested in a PC).
    Then a noted that the problem occours when the iMac try to use the DVD drive. It's not related with the media, sometimes it happens and sometimes it does not with different CDs/DVDs and softwares (iDVD, Finder).
    Any help?
    P.S. Sorry for my english.

    oooohh well that fixed up my DVD burning issue
    UDMA 2 =~ 33 m/b sec?
    16x DVD = ~ 25mb sec?
    If the above numbers are correct then that should be fine as a band aid fix for my DVD burning issues
    Thanks a load! 
    Your sir are a gentleman! 
    Also since my last post I found that I supposedly wasn't running the latest BIOS...
    I flashed from 1.6 to 1.11 which is listed as the newest here:
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=252
    But I installed MSI Live Update 3 (I've never used it before) and it said there was a "1.B" BIOS... so I let it re-flash to that one... 
    I'll try out my USB printer again once this DVD finishes burning

  • Use DVD drive from  Virtual Machine

    Hi! I have successfully installed Oracle VM Server and Manager Template on the same machine.
    I also have created and run a Virutal Machine from the OEL 5.3 Template from Edelivery.
    Now I need to use the DVD ROM drive because I need to install E-Business Suite from that VM.
    How can I mount the DVD ROM so thats it usable from within a VM?

    I have installed a VM manager on one machine and a VM server on the other. I have also installed OEL4 (virtual machine) on the server through the manager. But when i open the console of the virtual machine it is not detecting the cdrom. How can it be detected??Did you even read the posts above yours? They explain exactly how to provide CD data to a guest.
    Also how to open that virtual machine on some other machine or on the server??I have no idea what you mean. If you're talking about connecting to your guest over the network, you can use SSH.

  • DVD drive sharing issue

    Hi,

    I'm hoping for an official answer from Apple since, I own the origininal audio CDs, and all the Apple hardware and software and just trying to do what is advertised as possible without infinging anyone's property rights.

    I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."

  • DVD drive rawdisk for Virtual Box

    Hello, dear Archers !
    I know this not an appropriate forum for such a question, but I don't wanna register on VB's forum (I don't like how much Oracle would like to know about me ). So, here is my question.
    I'm trying to use DVD drive of host system as a physical drive in guest system. I mean, using host's DVD drive directly on guest system, so guest system would see which device it really is. So, I'm trying to use this command to generate a rawdisk for this drive:
    VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename dvd.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/cdrom
    However, I'm getting this error:
    VBoxManage: error: Cannot open the raw disk '/dev/cdrom': VERR_MEDIA_NOT_PRESENT
    VBoxManage: error: The raw disk vmdk file was not created
    Is there any chance to bypass this error ? I just wanna connect this drive to guest system, so I could be able to, for example, flash and stuff like that...

    The VirtualBox application has to be installed on the boot drive I believe, however it is then definitely possible to create and store and run virtual machines on any drive.

  • Boot Windows AND FreeBSD from my MacBook Pro 8,3 using an external DVD drive. I'm considering to remove my DVD-ROM and replace it with an SSD drive. That doesn't seem to work. Why not?

    As the title says, I'm attempting to boot off my favorite operating systems, Mac OS X, Windows 7 and FreeBSD from an external DVD drive. However, for some odd reasons, booting the Windows DVD and FreeBSD 9.1 install DVD from the external drive does not seem to work. I was able to create a bootable USB with the Windows installer, but whenever I attempt to do the same with FreeBSD, I only get an error message that says "No bootable device -- press any key to restart." Is this a limitation that Apple deliborately created? If so, why won't Apple let its customers do whatever they please with their computers, considering that customers who want to change the hardware and/or operating systems knows what he is doing, without having to worry about some silly Apple limitations?
    If I sound rude, I apologize for that, as no impoliteness is intended from my side.
    In advance, thanks. Have a wonderful day, everyone.

    That is only partially correct at best.
    When you are booting off Windows or any other operating systems that usually don't support EFI (including Windows), your Mac uses something called CSM-BIOS. And as long as that CSM-BIOS implementation on EFI-based Mac do not support booting off from USB (note that Mac OS X Installer works fine when booting from USB), not even a USB Apple SuperDrive which once was an internal drive, there mot definately is something for Apple to fix.
    When attempting to install Windows via BootCamp, a somewhat hybrid GTP/MBR table is created. When you boot off the installer disc of the OS you intend to install (i.e. Windows 7, FreeBSD, etc), your Mac might not support the EFI boot option (at least my 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro doesn't support that), so the only way of booting that second OS installer is via the regular BIOS, which Apple's EFI based systems implement as CSM-BIOS.
