I have two questions regarding my Pismo PowerBook G3:
1) Is there a way to make the battery monitor's percentage gauge go over 100% when you have two batteries inserted into the two media bays? I made pictures of what I want the percentage gauge to look like, and offer a bribe at the following URL: http://www.installstuff.com/ (click on the top link) or just follow this URL: http://home.austin.rr.com/redsully/installstuff/powerlevel.htm .
2) I can't seem to make my PowerBook go to sleep automatically after 1 minute, like I was able to in OS 9... the minimum time limit allowed is 5 minutes... doesn't make much sense for a powerbook user, as 5 minutes is a good portion of battery life. Can I use terminal to edit this setting to under 5 minutes? I mainly want the hard drive and display to turn completely off after one minute and the computer itself after 3 minutes... And not to be greedy, I only want this done when running on the battery(-y ies), and to not sleep at all when on power supply. Am I just asking for too much from OS X and my PowerBook?
