    What is AMD?

    The orginator's name was "John Micheal Penrdy" or something close. AMD came after automonter from SUN MicroSystems and had loads of better capabilities than the original automounter, i.e. one could set lots of paramters which could better reflect the issues of your site, like timeouts and...

    Jaguar LOSES speed on my G4 PowerMac

    I apologize for my typing, I've got two broken fingers on my right hand and its very awkward. If the problem is going to be the router port settings - I hate this bit - get the manual out for the router and have a look at things like port settings, Full Duplex/ Half Duplex, 10/100mbs, and...

    Jaguar LOSES speed on my G4 PowerMac

    Don't worry autonegotion problems are not an Apple problem, Sun have it, SGI have it PC have it. I am not saying that this is where your problem is, autonegotiation is not done at the Ethernet packet level, its done low level signaling at the hardware level. The problems are due to...

    Jaguar LOSES speed on my G4 PowerMac

    1. Your root disk is ok at 58%, but more importantly you have 4Gb available. Your disk is 10Gb, youve used around 6GB and 4 GB remain. 2. Network events take the highest priority within a system as network traffic has to be deal with "right now" or it gets missed, disk stuff can be made...

    import movie from a tape (camcoder)

    Formac have never answered one of my emails either, which I think is a load of "Es Heitch Won T". That kind of things need to be made public. I asked about the Tevion driver for the STudio box on many occasions, silence.... even though they make a big thing of having a feedback button.

    Newly released ICA client

    ICA clients just like NTRIGUE or Tektronix's version require a server. I would be interested in the Mac version of the ICA client, I've used it on SUN, SGI and Linux kit, very usefull for avoiding to actually have to deal with the enemy I live in Britain, here everything is MS apart from...

    Jaguar-burned CDs no longer readable on PCs

    I had problems with the MP3 rip onto CD and then into the DVD player at home. The DVD (the one we currently use, the toshba would play them) player previously would not recognise the tracks and display them on the telly. It all works like a breeze now, piece of cake. P.S. DVD players...

    import movie from a tape (camcoder)

    But he Hollywood DV bridge does not have the resolution or the capabilities of the Studio box (alsi didn't need any drivers) I just use iMovie, its treated like its a DV camera, much like all of these kinds of devices. I also didn't but he DVbridge on the behest of the supplier they thought...

    Jaguar LOSES speed on my G4 PowerMac

    This was to check that the root partition and in this case disk "/" was not full, if full then the swap would be more or less useless, but the swap process would continue to thrash to the detrement of the system. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on...

    Jaguar LOSES speed on my G4 PowerMac

    For passive usage, i.e. not running anything else but what you've booted into, values over 1.00 are very unsual, you should see orders of magnitude less than that, i.e around 0.1 - 0.2 on a G4 933Mhz When you looked at the output from "top -u" what were the names of the biggest hogs? I am...

    import movie from a tape (camcoder)

    I've got a Belkin USB VideoBus (320 * something or other) no problem, only thing is the resolution is not great, hey put it onto a TV and its ok, cost me around $30. I've also got a Formac Studio Box, (720 * 576 and plenty of I/O ports of different kinds) and runs over firewire and its even...

    Truth about Apple performance (OS+hardware)

    Heatsinks - take a look at any PC - Intel and more so for AMD that runs over 1Ghz- and you will see extraction fans siiting on top of the GRILL as you put it. My friend can heat his flat with his PC. Usually that kind of heat is a result of overclocking the CPU. I have a G3 thats...

    Truth about Apple performance (OS+hardware)

    Clock rate is'nt the anything like the whole story, disregarding the G4 for the moment, the top end Ultra Sparc III only runs at 933Mhz and outperforms the Intel (running at 1.7 Mhz)chip in "real world" number crunching. Same goes for the G3 & G4 as stated above. Apple makes superb...

    Connect from a PC to 10.2? How?

    Thats only if you've got 10.2 , and as far as I can tell is personnal sharing. If you all you want is personnal file sharing then that's fine, but if you want more then you can download the server version. You can do a lot more that just file serving with SAMBA, apparenlt you can act as the...

    Connect from a PC to 10.2? How?

    Hirez, try the following: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xsamba/ssp_1.5.sit The choose your favroured mirror. The installation should put a System Preferences Pane in for you. generally speaking it wasn't too much trouble to get setup either. Its about 8MB.

    Connect from a PC to 10.2? How?

    I think SAMBA gets installed , depending on requirements from users, for some it makes day to day sense and other too much to administer for the good it does them. Take the Oil industry, 95% of the Exploration and Resevoir management gets doen on UNIX machines (usually SUN, SGI and too a...

    Connect from a PC to 10.2? How?

    SMB or Service Message Block. Passwords can be encrupted, but strangely only on upper case. We found this out by snooping packets on a large network of PCs some 10 years ago during a security audit. Mixed case went "clear text" and as such the server would not recognize the password...

    Connect from a PC to 10.2? How?

    Download the SAMBA package onto your mac, you can also download the Samba Sharing Preference Pane - from the MacOSX site. A GUI front end to the services, its easy and works for me. You can share from your Mac quite happily, yo can even become a Primary Domain Controller for a Widows LAN...

    10.2 unstable

    10.2 is much better although I did like 10.1.5. My current problems have calmed down, but I had Sherlock and other apps quiting for no apparent reason, not all the time and not all at once. My desktop Foilder for OS9 converted itself into a flat file. What I have done is to boot off of...

    Quicktime 6 Pro keys

    I haven't tested all things as yet, I was mainly checking that there were buttons to actually export anything. What I did bump into when I tried Quicktime Pro 6 Beta on MacOSX 10.1.5 is that it would not work, iMovie projects kept quiting and would no longer load. Only to find that there...
