ALI chipset.

No data cables included.

Accepts two standard USB connectors.

USB at 1.5/12/480 Mb/sec.

Accepts one each of the two FireWire connector types, for a total of two.

FireWire at 100/200/400 Mb/sec.

Includes an adapter which allows you to power the card from an attached 
USB device.

Can use a customer-provided 12 volt "wall wart" with a 3.5mm dia. and +12 
volts on the "tip" and its return on the "ring".

Re: PowerBook 3400 CD-ROM Issue

[Dan Palka]

Yes.. if CD-ROM discs dont show up then you probably dont have the 
CD-ROM extension in the system folder.

Which may make sense for a computer that did not ship with a CD-ROM 
drive.

You  need to get it off a system install cd.

How do you know that the module is recognized by the 3400?  Usually, 
CDs not appearing on the desktop is a symptom of not having a CD

PowerBook 3400 CD-ROM Issue

[Mousehurd]

I have recently acquired a nice PB 3400c/180, OS 8.1, 3GB HD, 32MB RAM,

do not appear on the desktop. I have tried removing the module, zapping the

USB 2.0 *and* FireWire for Wallstreet (and, perhaps, for Kanga)

[ACFX44501]

There is a new "Combo" USB 2.0+FireWire card on the market, which is a 
good option for the Wallstreet, as this is the last PowerBook which 
doesn't have USB.

Two USB 2.0 ports and Two FireWire ports in a single card.

PPA International is the manufacturer. Bar code 33250-00111. About $49.95 
at Fry's Electronics.

I have tested this card in my Wallstreet II under MacOS 9.1, in USB mode, 
and it works as advertised.

I have not yet tested it in FireWire mode.

The card is a sell-out at Fry's, but it is not stocked in Fry's Mac 
section, only in the generic (that is, PC) section.

Incredibly, the product's package documentation says nothing about MacOS 
9.x support, but it is there. You will see that only after loading the 
support CD-ROM.

Only MacOS 10.1.5 and later needs the supplied driver CD-ROM. Earlier 
MacOSes are supported right out of the (retail) box.

I will be modifying my "Kanga" to accept Cardbus cards, as a direct 
consequence of this success.

Re: PowerBook 3400 Problems (can't locate the 68HC05)

[ACFX44501]

>That's because it has ROM code in it that 
>is protected by copyright, just like the system ROMs.

The "circle M" protects the microcode (firmware, in most cases). The 
"circle C" protects the overall chip.

If Apple bought the microcontroller "macro", then there could be no 
"circle C" for the microcontroller, as the license includes unlimited 
reproduction rights, and, at that point, the microcontroller is not 
separable from the Apple logic, anyway.

Nearly every microcontroller from a 4-bit to a 32-bit is available this 
way.

The most popular imbedded micrcontroller may be the (Zilog) Z80, but the 
(Intel) 386 is also seen in imbedded applications. Even the (IBM) PowerPC 
is available in several imbedded variations.

Apple probably bought the 68HC05 "core" from Motorola as a "macro" to its 
design automation system, and then had whomever make the composite chip 
for them.

Nearly every microcontroller can be had that way (even PowerPC), and 
there is no requirement for the composite chip to be made by the 
originator of the microcontroller.
