Can installing a version of netatalk resolve any of the shortcomings
-- i.e. does it add any functionality for those on 10.5 or later in
regards to speaking to something like a SE30 on Mac OS 7 or OS9?

Re: Best wireless card for a G5?

rfaulkne...@gmail.com (Roger Faulkner) — Sat, 26 May 2012 10:01:15 UT

We have an Intel G5 and several G4s. The Intel unit and the old eMac both
see and use our cable supplied Netgear modem, however the other G4s will
only communicate to a Cisco router, one the Canon wireless printer doesn't
recognize.

It's not a major problem but it would be good to get them all on the same

Apologies: this was posted *before* the subsequent replies had estalished
that the monitor was okay. It got held up (for moderation?), so appeared
much later than it should have.

Can't burn disc skipped operation.

I have a G5 Dual 2.7 with 10.5.8 and when I try to burn a DVD with disk Utility I get an error that states "can't burn disc user skipped operation" I can burn using Toast 7, 8, and 10. The burners I have are Pioneer 118L . Anyone else seen this?

Agreed: that's almost certainly an issue with your monitor rather than the
GFX card itself. Try the calibration route first, and if that doesn't fix
it, the problem is possibly a failing backlight.
If it turns out that it *is* the GFX card dying, I think I have a
spare Rage 128 lying around that was pulled from my Cube. You're welcome

Try swapping the connections at the video card. See if the darkness moves to the Intel Mac. If it does it's the KVM or video cable. If not it's the settings on the video card.

yeah that would be my next thought, but graphic card signals are digital, not analog, you can't switch between Black and Gray without a different digital signal.

Try connecting it directly to the monitor instead of through the KVM. That would be the quickest test.

Tried recalibration - no change
Monitor is hooked up to 2 computers via a Dr Bott KVM switch & the
monitor looks fine in the newer Intel Mac.
Maybe I should jiggle the KVM connections?

It's a PITA to get to it, but, in Mail, for example, you can press ⌘-t to bring up the Fonts dialog, then click on the gear icon and select Characters. Then select View 'All Characters' and go to Technical Symbols. Then you can go through them, where they're names, and the fonts containing those symbols are listed below and way down in the corner is a little 'insert' button to insert the character into your message.

The symbols are Option=⌥ (unicode 2325), Control=⌃ (unicode 2303),
Shift=⇧ (unicode 21E7), etc.=&c (ampersand c), and ...=…

I run OS 10.3.9 on my G4. 10.4 was installed and I was shocked when it absolutely would not talk to my SE/30 file server. No warning provided. Getting back to OS 10.3 was painful.

10.4 did support Ethertalk for use with printers. The necessary code was there but Apple deliberately disabled it for computer to computer use.

What are the symbols for Option, Control, shift, etc....?

I see shortcuts all the time. but I don't know what those symbols mean (other than Command).

Also, what keys do you press to type them?

Per HP <[link]>

For Win7 (and probably Vista) you need to use the "HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PostScript", for older versions of Windows use the postscript driver here, I'll bet it works:

Yup. 10.5 only supports AFP over TCP; the old network discovery protocols
are gone.

I don't like it either. It feels like Trotsky getting erased out of Stalin's
photo album.
