Re: Digital camera for 3400
I use a new Kodak DX4330 which is great camera. Primarily it's plugged into my G4 using the Dock, but for my 3400 I bought a PC Card adaptor on ebay for £18 that takes everything except compact flash - those readers are even cheaper. Speed is about the same as USB and it works a treat. The files are straight JPEG's and I use JPEGView or Picture Viewer to view and Photoshop 6 to edit. Don't feel you have to buy an older camera just for the connectivity. A serial connection is hellishly slow anyway.

Re: 3400, or all powerbooks, was: 5300 battery
I just leave my battery in all the time on my 3400c and mainly run it off AC. I bought it second-hand and the battery seems to give about an hour - they're much better than the so-called intelligent batteries in the 500 series and seem to suffer less problems. Batteries for the 5300 will also work in the 3400 but don't last as long. -- WOPR - Now that was a computer... -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: PB 540c modem gone bad??
Try here for the GV software http://63.104.169.60/PNF:byName:/PowerBook%20500%20Series%20Items/ Rick I was given a PB 540c that was having a consistent (Epson) printer connection issue.

We reformatted the HD, then installed 7.6. A new problem seems to have arisen - we don't seem to be able to use the modem. Previously we used AOL 3.0 and it accessed the modem fine.

Re: 3400, or all powerbooks, was: 5300 battery
There's been a lot about batteries on this list so if you can access the archives you'll find a wealth of information. But to summarize it, at least once a week (once a month at the very least) unplug the AC and use the battery until you get the warning message that the computer is about to go into a forced sleep mode unless you plug it in. Then let the battery fully charge.

Great, now I have directly conflicting advice. It IS a li-ion, so I shouldn't let it discharge??? I should just keep them plugged in all the time unless taking it somewhere? Or let it work on battery once a month and recharge? Where is the certain point? I did go to the archive but there is so much there that I get distracted and miss lunch before finding the answer...

Digital Camera and Powerbook
Hi. Normally I'm pretty quiet because I don't really have a lot of Mac wisdom to share, but here's my digital camera situation: I have an Olympus D-40. It is small, cute, works like a charm, and I'm the envy of all my digital photographer pals (which kind of makes up for the fact that I didn't really get a good deal pricewise on the camera...) My 5300 does not have usb, so I knew I was going to have to use a pc card or floppy adapter. I don't know anything about pc cards, or where to get them, so I focussed on the floppy adapters, which seemed to be available everywhere. First I bought the Sony floppy adapter that was referenced in the Olympus documentation. When I got it home, I discovered that it doesn't work in on PPC's, which rules out my PB. I was also then shocked to find out that I couldn't hook the camera up thru the usb to my desktop system (which is a PPC 6500) because my desktop system's usb hardware wasn't factory installed. It just refuses to work. So I went out and got the Fuji floppy adapter on the advice of one of my pro photo pals. I was in a panic again when I found that it couldn't be used on the 5300. Sigh! Luckily, the Fuji floppy adapter works with my desktop system, and that is how I port pictures in. What's not so good is that the floppy adpater only handles smartmedia up to 64mb, while the camera will take the larger cards. This has been okay, it gets the job done. It's slow, I can't use some of the neaty keen features on my camera, but it does do the basic job. I don't really have an easily portable or direct way of getting my pictures on the pb, which is kind of what I intended all along. I'd love feedback from anyone who actually has experience using a pc card smartcard reader or hooking a newer camera to an older pb with a pc card usb. A pro photographer I know says that she refuses to use pc card media readers because they fry her cards and make them impossible to use in her camera. Knock wood, my floppy adapter hasn't done this to me yet. But what she said made me a bit wary of spending good moolah for another kind of adapter. Pook 17.

I've no clue what's wrong with your friends system, but I've NEVER had a problem with my $12 Sandisk flash pcmcia adapter on either a 5300 or a 540C, nor have lots and lots of other folks including professional photographers. Highly recommended. Also, if the card is usable on the Mac, it would be usable in the camera...she may have to re-format the card in the camera. Smartmedia tends to be flakier in general than flash...I personally wouln't buy a camera that used it, especially that 'secure media' drm crap they're foisting on consumers.

Re: 5300 battery
On Sunday, January 5, 2003, at 01:42 PM, victoria brandon wrote: How long should a battery be able to keep a sleeping PB going without running out of juice? (snip) Hi Victoria. As you know, I recently got an Apple- refurbished, sealed 5300cs, so, presumably, the battery could have been sitting in the carton for 5 years. After a few reconditioning cycles, I think it's a good as it'll be and I get (using Jeremy's CSM) an average of 1 1/2 hrs. of use including a few floppy disk accesses interspersed over an average of 24- 48 hrs. of sleep time. Because I have the luxury of a back- up battery, I never plug it in unless recharging overnight after the battery depletes. I'm kind of fastidious when it comes to batteries and back- up as you might gather as you read on;) So this morning, after about 12 hours sleeping (not plugged in), it woke up OK on the battery, but only lasted ten minutes or so before running clear down to nothing. Is this at all normal? I don't understand the reporting system used by either Apple's or Jeremy's CSMs and wether their respective accuracies (or lack thereof) are because of the limitations of the software or because of difficulty forecasting these NiMH batteries, but I also will get flaky time remaining and percent full reports. Often, while the battery is showing anywhere from a 30- 70%, I will suddenly get the low battery warning and then I know I only have a minute or two to save my work and the PB shuts itself down abruptly. The same applies to my new battery, but everything (life left, time remaining when I get the low battery warning and the accuracy of Apple's estimated time, etc.) is doubled. Anyway, using Jeremy's historical time remaining is pretty dead- on accurate in seeing how much time I have left. It's been my understanding that it's bad for the battery to keep the adapter plugged in all the time, but if it's going to run down so quickly just sitting there what choice is there? Have you tried Apple's Battery Recondition utility? They recommend using it every month, while e-batts.com, which is where I got my new battery from, recommends it every 2 weeks for maximum life. BTW this battery was bought new (I suppose it was actually new-new quite a few years ago) last August: please don't tell me I've got to shell out for another one quite yet! But what *should* I do? If anything? If you do, I highly recommend e- batts.com http://www.eBatts.com/product.asp?part=B-5892/ HManufacturer=25descrip=PowerBook_5300CS and getting the 3.5 Amp hour battery. While not exactly a bargain- basement deal, they're pretty much in line with other retailers prices for brand- new batteries and the 3.5 Amp hour rating is the highest I've seen and costs about the same as what I see other places selling their 2.2 or 1.8 Amp hour batteries for. They also sell the lower capacity battery http://www.eBatts.com/modelselect.asp?Model=998355 for competitive price and their CS is excellent if you have any questions. The difference in the higher capacity one is amazing when you're used to such short charge spans. In fact, the time I get from my new battery is often longer than my husband gets on his new iBook, albeit I'm only running 7.5.3 with 8 MB of RAM whereas he's running Jaguar with 256 MB RAM and burning CDs every now and then. BTW, I'm not affiliated with e-batts.com other than a satisfied customer. Good luck, Cathy -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
