Currently, I'm running a PB 1400c/166, 64 megs RAM, OS 8.1. I am wondering a little about some of the options I have. First of all, I saw a PCMCIA card in a macmall catalog- USB 2-port PCMCIA Card- it says that it works with any 32 bit, type II Cardbus slot. I'd like to be sure though, since I don't know much about PCMCIA cards- will this work in my PB 1400? Second, I recently read about using compact flash cards to extend the memory on this computer; is this true, and could somebody explain how this works in laymen's terms please. Third, and most important, I am having a little difficulty with my PB- Norton Utilities say that i need to repair the disk because the free block count is incorrect. I don't think it's a major problem, Norton says it can repair it, but it needs to do it while my intyernal HD is not the startup disk. Tried the CD, for some reason it freezes when i Use it. The only other option I can think of is that I use a Zip disk I have made with a system folder and norton utilitieson it. The only problem is that I can't get my computer to boot up on the zip disk. This disk is an old standard of mine that i use to use for big disk repair jobs, and works well on other computers via an external zip drive, but for some reason it does not work through the internal VST zip drive on my PB. Slecting it as the startup disk via the startup disk control panels does not work. Any help? Thanks in advance. I realize that I have little to offer, and alot to ask, so assistance is appreciated.
