slower dimming on powerbook
Hey all, is there any utility that will allow my 1400 powerbook to stay lit longer before it goes into shutdown mode and the dimmer kicks in? What I mean is, it dims permamently a good 20-30 minutes before the battery runs completely out, which is annoying. I've tried Threshold by Jeremy Keezer, but that doesn't really work. 117 mhz; System 8.5.1. Thanks, Denny -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: clock battery prob on 180c where to find it?
Bill, Mine is a PB 280C duo, so I'm not sure if the issues are the same, but it does sound like the PRAM battery to me (performs the same basic function as a CMOS battery on a PC). On the Duo 280, it's two watch-type batteries (I believe they're actually welded together), surrounded in a sheath of plastic, with a couple of wires coming out, if I recall correctly (been a while since I had the Duo open, and I am admittedly far from an expert). On the Duo, seems like it was under the keyboard and close to the hard drive.

Re: How to with a 5300c?
Howard We gave the scripts/drivers on a floppy. Contact offlist with adddress and we can send you a copy Gerald Jennings it came with a Global Village PowerPort PlatinumPro card. I'd like to use it with the ethernet connection for our home DSL, but when I have the card in the slot, OS 8.1 (which can on the machine) tells me that there's no drivers installed, and just gives me a generic modem icon. I've tried the GV website but nothing there seems to be the drivers I need. Anyone have any suggestions? Like I said, I'd like to use this with the DSL. Thanks! Later.Howard Computer n.

3400c Internal Modem Confusion!
It would be simply splashtastic to use the 33.6 Modem/Ethernet combo port on my 3400c. However I cannot seem to get the modem to work (although the Ethernet works fine - and its the same port!) I select 3400c Internal Modem in the modem control panel, but I hear no connecting noises. It says Connection failed: Modem is not responding properly. This is strange I think since it works fine when I hooke it up to the network. What am I doing wrong? In almost a year owning this thing I have never been able to get that to work. Always had to use a clumsy PCMCIA modem. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Anti-static bags
but I've used plain, old ziplock plastic bags, Those seem to be protective enough for shipping. Normal plastic bags DEFINITELY kill electronics. Honest! Sellotape is just as bad, by the way. The anti-static bag is to protect against static dirt/water. You can get a similar effect though by wrapping it in aluminium baking foil.
