mac G3 with System 9.1 and PCI USB card won't wake up
by balesmachine » Thu, 15 Jan 2004 03:06:45 GMT
I have a problem. I have a solution. I have a Mac G3 with a added PCI
Card to allow USB devices to be used. I have been running System 9.0.4
for ever, and had no problems. I have several USB devices plugged in
to the to PCI card, including a printer, optical mouse, external USB
CD Burner (SONY), flashcard reader, etc. When I upgraded to System 9.1
from 9.0.4 I noticed a problem. More often than not, I could not get
my Mac to wake from sleep. I had to reboot to get it to come back to
life.
I accidently discovered a work around. Seems if I turn off my Sony CD
Burner with the power button on the front of it, my mac will ALWAYS
wake up. I don't now why this is, but since I don't use the burner
much at all, it is no problem keeping it turned off, and this solves
the sleeping problem.
Thought you might like to know this.

2.Problems over G3 266 Mac OS X 10 and PCI USB card
Can someone tell me what's wrong with my PCI USB card. Everytime I shut
off my usb printer strange things appends
with my iPod and my memory flask usb key - they simply won't mount.
They do in my iBook G3.
I don't want my printer to stay on for days and months as it drys my
ink cartridge and because I don't print often, want to save energy,
etc.
Is there a way to struggle this with UNIX command - in the Terminal,
flushing cache, etc. Do I have to change PCI slut possitioning (I think
it's on A1), is there a better place to connect my printer - say at the
end, if there is one to the PCI Card (a StarTech) and finally does
power supply is affecting by the fact that I have 3 IDE drive
connected.
Any advice is well appreciated
Thank you

5.802.11 PCI card for PowerMac 6400, OS 9.1?
I have an old Umax C600 (clone of a PowerMac 6400) that I'd like to put
on the net. It's running a basic OS 9.1 system very well. I have a
802.11b wireless router in the house (D-Link DI-614+). It's got three
open PCI slots. Can anyone recommend an 802.11b PCI card that actually
has a driver for OS 9?
