Hi I have a pb1400cs/166 running a fresh and clean 9.1. The machine has a Dayna Communicard Plus pcmcia card fitted with an adaptor that allows ethernet and modem. Its running the most recent Dayna s/ware (altho dayna went bust a while back)
The ethernet side runs fine, but when i try to use the modem (ARA) I get the 'port in use, check for other applications etc' message. Naturally i have tried turning off appletalk. I have no fax software at all. After the clean install I went straight to the ara (after installing dayna software) and did not even attempt to use the ethernet side. This card has never worked as a modem because of the 'port in use' problem. Dayna diagnostics software gives this report ------------------- PC Card information socket = 0 ( it gives card name and ethernet driver version 2.3) PC card information, socket =3 Card is in use, unable to read information ---------------------------- I would dearly love to use this machine as a back up, but without a modem its no good to me. Im not too keen on paying £80UKP for a new card. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Id go back to 8.5 if it would help, but would it? I can supply much more info from the diagnostic program if required but its a few pages worth so I wont post it unless asked Thanks Nick -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
