Looks like Apple have pulled that bloke's site. Maybe they have an update almost ready... BTW, the patched .kext really works ;)

They don't currently show up in the Network window. You have to click on 'Go>Connect to Server' and type in: smb://domain_or_workgroup_name;computer_name/share_name or smb://domain_or_workgroup_name;user_name@computer_name/share_name So to connect to the XP box I use at work I type...

If you're using your computer to output DVD to a TV then whatever format the computer is set to output (PAL/NTSC) is how the DVD will play regardless of the format of the DVD. I stayed with friends in the US last summer and we watched several PAL DVDs on an NTSC TV through her Pismo. :)

Most modern SECAM TVs should be able to display a PAL picture though. IIRC, the main difference between PAL and SECAM is that PAL displays odd and even lines alternately and SECAN is a sequential scan (it displays the entire screen in one pass). They're both 625 line/50Hz systems.

Unfortunately SMB shares are not available to Classic apps. All Sharity does is to provide browsing services to the SMB part of OS X so that you don't have to use the Connect To Server menu. AFAIK the only way for Classic apps to access Windows machines is via SFM.

And is actually a black & white TV system with colour 'bolted on'. NTSC runs at 525 lines of resolution. As it was designed from the start to be a colour TV system (no Tint/Hue control required). It's also worth noting that modern PAL TVs aren't restricted to 50Hz scan and many can easily...

Those themes are nice, but it'd be nicer to be able to have the ease of use of OS 9 themes. :)

I definitely agree on the subject of themes. It was one of the reasons I bought my first Mac just over a year ago. PLEASE bring back themes, Apple! :)

IIRC, I just enabled a checkbox on the Win2K side (right-click the connection and select 'Properties') and a dialog popped up telling me that I had to set the client computers to use DHCP. I just set the Mac to use DHCP over Ethernet and it worked. Myself and a friend were able to...

Worked fine for me with a Win2K machine and an OS 9 machine :confused:

Ahem! ;)

I had the same problem on my Pismo recently. What you need to do is boot into OS 9 and use the Keyboard control panel from there. That should set it back to the behaviour you want. :)

Here's a copy of the feedback I just submitted to Apple:

Found a possible solution over at the Apple discussion forum. Someone there suggested copying the modem script from my OS 9 partition (System Folder:Extensions:Modem Scripts). Seems to be better, although I have recently rebooted. Time will tell...
