Re: Internet Explorer For Macintosh
I never really liked IE anyways. Between iCab, FireFox, Safari (my least favorite of these) and Shiira, there's little need to have anything from the Evil Empire websurfing for me. I'm probably going to be unpopular for saying this, but I actually liked IE5 on OS 9 and preferred it to the other alternatives (I alternate between Netscape 4.8 and IE 5 on my OS 9 machines).

Re: 1400 Mac OS 9
I've tried OS 9.1 on all three of the 1400 flavors and even with 64MB of RAM they don't run nealry as quick as with OS 8.6. I have always put OS 8.6 back on the 1400's because it they were too slow. Without a G3 upgrade in a 1400 it will not handle OS 9 very well. Agreed. However, with a G3, I *do* recommend OS 9, especially if you have full RAM. I ran 9.1 on my 1400+G3/333 and it wasn't too bad. -- - personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ --- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Please dispose of this message in the usual manner. -- Mission: Impossible - -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Good luck, and questions on NuPowr upgrade
Thanks for the input, Cam. Does OS9 have any really compelling features that would make the upgrade irresistible? I don't know if I would call them really compelling, but 9.1 adds improved file security, additional shortcuts in the Finder, IP-based AppleShare without using AppleShareIP, improved Sherlock, Software Update control panel, and better multiple-user support. There are also some USB enhancements, like USB printer sharing over TCP, but this is irrelevant on a 1400, of course. Myself, I prefer 9.1 to 8.6, but it's because I'm used to all the little niceities. I would still upgrade to 8.6, though. 8.6's nanokernel improves performance quite a bit. -- - personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ --- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Anything that can be put into a nutshell belongs there. -- F.

Re: Installing OS on 1400c
Good result today, a CF adapter I'd won on eBay turned up. I now have a 64MB card to use as VM for the 1400 Problem is, every time I try to use it the control panel suggests that there is not enough room. When I use 'Get Info' on the card it reports as having 62MB available How much RAM is in your 1400? Pre-OS X VM minimally requires the amount of physical RAM, plus the amount of virtual RAM (which is always at least 1MB), to be free on the swap device. If you have 60+MB of RAM, then VM will require at least 61MB be free on the card (and the 62MB figure may be only an approximation or rounded up). -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

It's a long weekend up here north of the 49th, still no hockey so I thought of asking everyone what Macs they own. Lots of powerbooks, for sure, but what else? Maybe ppcs and up? Powerbook Duo 230 (braindead) , 7200/90 , G3/333 beige, three 3400c pbs(2 complete and 1 for parts) for me (plus about 30-40 Apples, apple clones, early macs - no originals but a few SEs, SE30s, Classics etc. as well as a quadra 950 etc. ) Winner gets 24 hours of bragging! I'd say you win, but here's my list of Macs I own: Mac Plus Mac SE/30 Mac Portable (original sans backlight) 2 x IIsi 3 x IIci LC 3 Q605 PowerBook 540c 7100 (with a G3) PowerBook 1400 (with a G3) 2 x 7300 (both with G3s) Network Server 500 (with a 200MHz 604e) Network Server 700 (with a 150MHz 604e) Beige G3 (out on loan) G4/450 Sawtooth dual 1.25GHz G4 MDD The Plus, two of the IIcis, the Q605, the 1400, both 7300s, the ANS 500, the G4/450 and the MDD are all in service.

Re: OS 9 on pb 1400
I wouldn't advise it with that little RAM. I run 9.1 on a couple of 1400's with 64 MB, and it takes up about 16 MB. What if I use Virtual Memory? I presume that's with VM turned on. On my 60MB 1400 with Apple VM on, 9.1 used around ~18MB. RAM Doubler 9 helped this quite a bit, but it still takes a hit. Don't run 9.1 on a 1400 that isn't at max RAM. On the other hand, I needed the features of 9.1, so that's why I run it, and with RD9's help, I can still run a great deal of applications at once without unduly thrashing to disk. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: 1400 'upgrade' tips wanted - from a new user
-using OS 8.6, 9 (.1 and 2.2) and OS X (maybe somebody got this far...) I run 7.6.1, I think, in mine. I don't use it for much, but basics - I don't even surf the web with it. Interestingly, my 1400c running 7.6.1 crashes less than my 3400c with 8.5. Unless there is something you really need, I wouldn't use anything above 8.5. The 1400 won't support 9.2.2, that I am aware of. Stops at 9.1. PPC 603e doesn't support OS X. You have to put in a G3 accelerator card. With the OS 9.2.x hack installers, you can get 9.2.x installed on a 1400, but for 9.x of any sort, a G3 is recommended. OS X won't presently work on *any* NuBus machine, even one with an aftermarket G3 (including the 1400). [...] -Ram Doubler Ram Doubler, the application, is redundant with System 7 virtual memory. The more virtual memory you turn on, the more the machine has to hit the hard drive for data, the slower the computer will - generally - run. Strongly disagree. Apple VM before OS X is an absolute dog and dreadfully inefficient as far as speed and HD utilitization. OTOH, RD uses compression and reallocation techniques so the hard disk needs to be hit less, and requires less HD space when it *does* hit the HD, to boot. RD9 was a great upgrade for my 1400 and is a significant improvement over Apple VM. Incidentally, my roadwarrior 1400 was a 1400cs/117 which has been turned into a c screen with a G3/333, 60MB RAM, external video option, 3Com 3C589 Ethernet PCMCIA NIC and BestData 56K modem running OS 9.1 with RD9.

I didn't quite pick up on the hardware in the beginning of the thread, but if you don't have the full 64 MB real RAM in the 1400, it's going to be a real pig.

Re: What am I doing wrong?
If you have a printer cable - you connect through the print ports of the two machines. It'll be slow but you can do it that way. I sometimes connect my 1400 to my G3 that way. You need a Ethernet hub or switch to use 10/100 ethernet. direct lines computer to computer doesn't work - I never heard of a gaming cable before. It should work if it's a crossover cable, although on some systems because of AppleTalk's intelligent [sic] detection system, it can be tough to get AppleTalk working this way because the ad hoc network won't be up until both machines are, and AppleTalk won't talk to Ethernet until there's a network there.

Re: Processor Upgrades for PowerBook 1400
problems started popping up. Even though the upgrade was great, all in all I would never buy from Sonnet again (personally I hate them)! For some reason I wasn't able to use any OS after 8.5 (that means no 8.6+). And even 8.5 was unstable, it would crash on occasion. Using 8.6 or higher would only allow me to use the computer for a few minutes before it locked up. When I called the company they pretty much told me to shove it and that it was an Apple software problem and not there's. 9.1 works just fine. I use it on my 1400 with a Sonnet G3/333. Myself, I'm looking at a 466, since I use this laptop a lot, and I don't really feel like getting another. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: 1400c RAM and 1400c Hard Disk
As stated, the PB1400 supports up to 64MB of RAM. If you 'Book came with 12MB as new, then it will only support up to 60MB (unless you can find a replacement Apple 8MB card to swap for the 4MB one that came with your machine). Actually, even this won't work reliably. If you have multiple stackable cards installed with the 8MB Apple module in a machine that originally had 4MB, you'll get multiple inexplicable RAM errors at startup. This is why my 1400 is stuck at 60MB, too -- it was a 1400cs/117 originally and that's exactly what happened. Others on this list have also observed this phenomenon. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: 1400c RAM
RAM doubler doesn't actually double your RAM. It just uses hard drive space as ram. You can already do that with the Memory control panel. Not quite true. RD9, at least, also can compress memory, and RD has always been able to steal RAM allocated to other applications that aren't using it. After all these fail, then it falls back on hard disk virtual memory, but even that isn't quite the same: The Apple version is slower, but also free. RAM Doubler is slightly faster. ... in addition to being faster, RD does not require a baseline VM allocation on the disk, i.e. Apple VM will require 1MB of the hard disk per MB of real RAM, plus an additional 1MB, to enable VM at its lowest setting and RD does not. On my 1400cs/G3+333 with 60MB physical RAM, Apple VM required 61MB of hard disk space just to give me the minimal VM allocation of 1MB (in other words, just simply to turn it on with -no- extra VM!) RD has no such restriction, and I was able to instantly reclaim that space (a boon on smaller hard disks) in addition to its faster paging algorithm. Nothing will come close to actual RAM.

Re: 1400c RAM
I realize that you're talking about physical ram, but what about RamDoubler? I've got it installed in my 5300 and the system profiler tells me that I have 56meg installed with 112meg available. Would that help his memory problem? RD is very handy on the 1400 (I use RD9), but it is most useful for a situation where you have a large number of applications requiring a cumulative amount of RAM, as RD can rob Peter to pay Paul in those cases if applications are inefficiently using their respective allocations. However, RD's RAM redistribution can't help a situation where one large application requests a large memory space; in that case, it will either compress memory (depending on the version of RD; RD9 can do this), or it will fall back on its own VM algorithm, which is faster and more thrifty of hard disk space than Apple VM, but still sucks. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: PCMCIA USB 2.0 card for Powerbook 1400c?
I'd be interested in this too, but I don't think it's possible. Apparently the PCMIA slot on the Powerbook 1400 isn't fully cardbus compliant, so USB simply won't happen. In practical terms, correct.

Re: PowerBook with Sonnets 500mhz G4 Questions Galore
So I finally got my Sonnet Crescendo WS/G4 500 today into my 266 wallstreet YAY! I have some questions: 1: How do I know if AltiVec is enabled? I ask because when I run the AltiVec Test program by Dean Dauger it says AltiVec is detected and the pictures fly by, but Final Cut Pro 2 (which I really need AltiVec for) seems mysteriously to be doing things roughly half as fast as my 900mhz G3 tower, when it should I would assume be much closer to par.

Re: PB 1400/G3 - Problem #1 - brief success, then back to Square 1
Anyway, at first everything worked great! - booted up fine, showed the Sonnet - Simply Fast! message, and Metronome said the L2 cache was working. Shut down and rebooted a few times to make sure everything was all right, and I was a happy camper. This tells me the L2 is fine. But then, I couldn't leave well enough alone ... the 1400/133 had more RAM in it (two stacked 24 mb modules) than the 1400/166 (one module). I had not wanted to mess with that while I was working on the G3 card, but now that I had everything working right, I decided to switch the RAM out. And - you guessed it - as soon as I switched the RAM modules, the Sonnet Upgrade extension started freezing again! See what you get for pushing your luck? ;) Now you get to meet the other issue with the 1400: RAM voodoo. What modules are in the system now? My 1400/117 kicked and screamed with stacked modules until I had the original Apple 4MB module re-installed (upgrading that to an 8MB apparently broke the bank). Subtly different timing between stacked modules can also cause this problem to manifest, and it can be maddeningly difficult to track down. The G3 is a little more sensitive to this because it likes faster RAM, so it's not too surprising it only shows up with the Sonnet. Since the G3 worked fine with your original RAM configuration, I actually doubt the Sonnet card is at fault per se. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: PB 1400/G3 - Problem #1
There have been reports of incompatibilities with Sonnet cards and 8.[56] [...] upgrade to 9.1. Yes, well I heard about that. Actually, someone (on another list) insisted that this incompatibility applies only to 8.6, not 8.5 ... but let's just say I'm bringing my question here because I haven't been satisfied with the answers I've gotten elsewhere ... As it happens I'm such a low end mac'er that I don't even own any 9.x installers. But I do own 8.1. Should I try a clean install of 8.1, and if that works, break down and invest in 9.1?

Re: PB 1400/G3 - Problem #1
I recently got hold of a 1400/133 with a Sonnet Crescendo 333 mhz G3 card in it, running OS 8.5. In general it seems to be running fine, but I am having two problems. This post covers Problem #1, namely, that altough the G3 card seems to be working fine, I can't seem to put the Sonnet Upgrade extension in the system folder - whenever I do, it causes the powerbook to freeze during start-up just before the icon parade, i.e. right when the Sonnet extension is trying to install. [...] If someone can tell me how to get the extension to work right I'd be most appreciative. There have been reports of incompatibilities with Sonnet cards and 8.[56]. In order, to try, 1. download the most current Extension from Sonnet. 2. upgrade to 9.1.

Re: PB 1400
Wonder if the list can help me with this problem. I have a 1400 hooked to a modem. When I want to print, I have to unhook the modem and plug in the printer. Is there any kind of splitter that will allow both to be plugged in at the same time? There are a number of 8-pin mini-DIN switchboxes that will do this (just turn the knob to whichever you want). MemoryX sold a few on clearance, and I see them at Fry's now and then.

Re: PB1400 G3 question
This is kind of off topic from your wireless questions, however seeing that you have the same set up as I do I have a couple of questions. What did your 1400 start life as? 117, 133, or 166? The reason I ask is that the Sonnet G3/400 I have makes the machine crash whenever I try and turn on the extension for the backside cache. Some have suggested that it might be the difference in the 117 logic board vs that of the 133 and 166. Have you ever had any problems with the machine crashing due to the Sonnet extension? What version of the extension do you use? I haven't had any trouble with my cs/117 upgraded to a G3/333 and a c screen. I don't remember the version of the Sonnet extension, but it's been rock solid under 9.1 (the rest of the stats: 1400c+G3/333+512K, 60MB RAM, original 750MB disk). It might be something about the /400, but I can't imagine what. I'm planning to get a /400 in the near future myself. I have a 117 upgraded to a Sonnet G3/400 running 9.1, the original 750MB HD, and 54MB RAM. I have 64MB, but the 8MB Apple Module crashes with both of the piggybacked 24 chip modules in (maybe logic board related too??). Did yours start with 16MB or 12MB? Mine was a 12MB (8MB plus 4MB Apple module), and upgrading the 4MB to an 8MB Apple module caused no end of trouble which went away when I put the 4MB back in. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: HP LaserJet 4ML printing (Was Re: )
Specialty papers often have a top and bottom side since the top has clay or other substances present to make it very smooth. But for regular laser paper stock that's not an issue. Actually, this isn't true either, especially for older assemblies. Laser paper is supposed to have an imperceptible curl to compensate for the curl introduced by the fuser. When loaded correctly, the paper with its baseline curl goes through the fuser, gets curled the other way, and comes out with the two curls cancelling (i.e., straight). When loaded wrong, you get a double curl and a jam. This happened incessantly with my otherwise excellent LW 16/600 and I was about ready to go buy new rollers and try to repair it (at moderate expense) when someone recommended I just turn the paper over. Suddenly, it started working perfectly! While this may make no difference with modern assemblies (dunno), it *does* make a difference with older printers, believe me. As a result, I only buy sided laser printer stock, and load it into the printer as it directs, and the LaserWriter just purrs now. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: 1400 oddness
I've had a problem with my PB1400 lately that I don't understand. The Startup Disk control panel keeps crashing when I try and set a new startup disk. I have tried reinstalling the cp and trashing the prefs. I also zapped the PRAM but it still crashes. Should I try a different version of the cp? SYSTEM: PB1400 with NUPower 233/g3, 64Meg RAM, 4 Gig HD, VM set to 108Meg, Running OS 9.1 Yes. You need the 9.2 Startup Disk control panel (I think Apple has it available as a download).

Re: The 1400 vs. The 3400
I have a slew of older PBs, ranging from a mint PB 100 to a PB 1400 (G3-333 upgraded). I am thinking of getting a newer 'Book, and am leaning seriously towards a 3400. Specifically, what a the real advantages of the 3400 over the my upgraded 1400 (64MB RAM, OS 9.1)? I only plan on spending several hundred bucks, so the 3400 seems like the logical progression. Of course, I am keeping my 1400, as well. The 3400 seems like a really great PB from everything I have read, so I would like to hear more about it. IMHO, there's two advantages that I've found of the 3400 over a G3-based 1400: it takes more RAM (up to 144MB), and it's at least somewhat Cardbus-capable (see http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/Cardbus/Cardbus.html ). On the other hand, a G3-based 1400 (especially a 333MHz+ one) would probably eat the 3400 for lunch w/r/t raw performance, even factoring in the 3400's 40MHz bus speed. It would be interesting to see the numbers. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: Old PC games and virtual PC 3...
I was just wondering if one could use say a PB 1400c/133 boosted to max RAM to run Virtual PC to play old Sierra games that haven't been ported to MacOS (as far as I know). I'm looking for a small platform to play games like space quest or king's quest. Of course I could buy an old laptop PC but then I would be off topic... ;^) I think it would be far too slow, actually (and Windows loves RAM, of which a 1400c maxed out has only 64MB).

Re: OT: My favorite PowerBook
I am interested in reading which PowerBooks people like most. I like the 1400, it has a sturdy, simple, and intuitive design, and a really nice keyboard. Sure it's cobbled together from a 68030-based I/O bus attached to a processor that never was anything spectacular, with limited ram and screen size, But it holds a certain charm that most PowerBooks lack today. Anyone else have a favorite 'book? I'm a big 1400 fan as well. My 1400c+G3/333, which started life as a lowly 1400cs/117, has done so well and upgraded so splendidly that I'm going to buy it a 466MHz G3 rather than saving for a new one.

Re: Fast PowerBook?
Heck, I have a Commodore 128 on my desk (granted, next to a dual 1.25GHz G4, but it's still on my desk). I'm *proud* to unleash my sleek 1400 with a wacky design on the top cover on an unsuspecting world. The loud custom top usually gets people to come over and check it out. I'd LOVE for a way to network my Amiga 500 with either my PB 190 or 6320! This is getting off-topic kinda but what the heck. My 128 is wired into the apartment Ethernet via a device called a Lantronix UDS-10, which has a modem mode allowing you to dial IP addresses with standard Hayes AT commands. To connect to my Unix host (a Mac running NetBSD, natch), I just type ATDT256.256.256.256/23 (insert your address here), and it opens up a telnet connection that any terminal program can use. This works with anything with a serial port. I'm not sure if there's an Ethernet solution for the A500 (I have an A500 myself with a GVP accelerator), but I know that the A1200 accommodates PCMCIA cards, and there are some with AmigaOS and NetBSD/amiga drivers. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: Fast PowerBook?
I have a 1400c with Mac OS 9.1, a Sonnet G3 333 MHz/1 Mb, 64 Mb, 16-bit Video out card, a 3 Gb Fujitsu HD, and a Global Village 56K Modem/Ethernet PC Card. This is very similar to mine: a 1400c, also with a G3/333, 60MB of RAM, an Apple 8-bit external video card, and a 3Com EtherLink III. This is my main (and favorite) computer. I use it mainly for internet browsing, and a little Photoshop editing. I can get, for a reasonable price, a Kanga, with Mac OS 9.1, a G3 250 MHz/512 K, 48 Mb, internal Video out, a 5 Gb HD, internal Ethernet, and a MegaHertz 56K PC Card modem (plus the internal 33.6 K). My question: Would the Kanga is faster for what I use it? I know it has a faster bus (50 MHz, the 1400 is only 33 MHz), but the 1400 has a faster CPU... Advantages? Disadvantages? Opinions? You didn't post the price, but IMHO the Kanga's only major advantages over the 1400, besides the better video and bus, is RAM ceiling (you can go up to 160MB). If it were me, I would probably stick with the 1400. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: PB 1400c PRAM Battery / Floppy Drive
Battery only, I'm afraid, though you don't have to shut down a 1400 to change the drive in the right bay, sleeping it before swapping will do fine. I've been told this is an absolute never do under any circumstances no no. I've done what you suggested myself, but read not too long ago (a few months maybe, either on LEM or an apple discussion board) that you never load a bay into the book without shutting down first. If someone else has an opinion on this, please, feel free to prove me wrong, I'm just stating what I've read. No, you can sleep a 1400 to swap drives. You just can't do it with the machine up and running, but it doesn't have to be totally shut down either. It's best, of course, to unmount any CD or floppy in that drive before sleeping it and taking the drive out. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: PB 5300 OS Installation Problems...
I installed 9.0 on my 1400, and RAM sure is tight. Higher than 9.0 would be even worse. On the other hand, if you have a G3 in your 1400, I strongly recommend 9.1 (granted you'll need to max out RAM and turn VM on). In fact, due to the problems that the Sonnet extension has had with 8.6 and the 1400, it may not even work *without* 9.1 (although it does work in 8.1, so that may be an option for some users). I use 9.1 regularly on my 1400 with 60MB RAM, and it does pretty well. The fact I have a G3/333 in it does help. :) -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: PB 1400 using a CF card
When I hear it spin up, I usually go to the Control Strip and spin it down. Anyone have any ideas on why it spins up to begin with? MacOS probes mounted disks occasionally to make sure they're still running. This is why having a CD in a 1400's CD drive and mounted, even if you're not playing or accessing it, wastes more power than not having a CD in it (or having the module totally out of the unit).

Re: 1400 RAM Question
OK, I am now at a loss. I recently just received another 24MB chip to bring my 1400 to 64 MB. When I installed it, everything booted up, but when the OS 9.1 Loading screen appeared, after a minute, I received an error message saying that the Memory Testing detected something with the memory (I do not remember the exact wording other than the fact that it recommended me to see a technician, etc). The system then booted up fine. Looking in the ATM, I see that only 8 out of the 24 MB are recognized (48MB total instead of 64MB). Upon realizing I may need to Zap my PRAM, I did so. This time when i tried booting up, it kept giving me a bus error and forcing me to restart recommending a start up without extensions on. [...] This actually sounds like a manifestation of bad 1400 RAM voodoo. The 1400 seems to have some issue about how many modules it can have installed at a given time. In my case, mine started as a 117MHz. This has the 4MB Apple module, and it came with 8MB in the stackable slot. This works. I then upgraded the 4MB Apple module to an 8MB pull from a 133. This works. I then bought a 48MB stackable module to bring it right to 64MB. Got the same error you did. Scratched my head, called the company. Replacement did the same thing. In desperation I started pulling and replacing RAM. Eventually yanked the 8MB Apple module and it gave me 56MB instead of 8. Scratched my head and put back in the original 4MB module. 60MB. Put in the 8MB module again. Scream and whine. For whatever reason, especially in the 1400s that didn't come with 8MB Apple modules stock, there seems to be some limitation on how modules can be installed together. In my case, I had to downgrade to a 4MB Apple module to get at least 60MB seen all told.

Re: PB 1400 OS 9.1 installation tip
9.1 ran more reliably than 9.0.4 and 8.1 did for me on _my_ particular machine. I'll second this. 9.1 has been much more stable than 8.1 on my 1400+G3/333. However, without a G3 and without maxing out the RAM, be warned it will really drag. If you're still using a 603, stay on 8.x (9.1 is just too glacial). -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Re: PB 1400 to control a radio receiver?
I'd like to use my PB 1400 to control a shortwave radio receiver--namely a JRC NRD-525. The radio connects to a PC with an RS-232c connector. I have tried using my SCSI/Dock adapter with the RS-232c, but the receiver doesn't show up as a SCSI device in the Apple System Profiler. Also, when using Zterm to try to talk to the radio, it only looks for serial port devices. Wait, is this a SCSI device, or a serial device? RS-232c is NOT the same pinout as the Apple 25-pin SCSI, and you'd better make sure nothing is damaged! You'll need to use a Mac mini-DIN serial to RS-232 converter cable. These are easy to find and fairly inexpensive, especially at car boot sales. This will connect to the modem/printer port on the back of your 1400, and to the RS-232 port of your shortwave radio receiver. I'm hoping nothing is damaged ... :-/ -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So. Calif., USA * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Coffee. Delight. Border.

Re: Floppy problem
I use a PowerBook 1400cs a lot. But if I take a floppy I use on it and put it in my wife's iMac USB floppy, I often get the floppy needs initialization message. But I can read floppies fine on the PB which my wife makes on her iMac. Why would that be? Funny, I have another 1400 floppy disk weirdness story. A disk formatted in a Windows PC is readable on my 1400. If, after putting it in and letting it churn and create its resource fork repository, I put it back in the Windows PC, the PC will no longer read it. (The 1400 still reads it fine.) For that matter, this happens with my DOS 486 laptop as well, so I don't think it's Windows at fault (for once). If I write protect the disk so that the Mac can save no changes, it survives. Very odd. Incidentally, my dual G4's USB floppy will read the disk both before and after the apparent munging by the 1400. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Any suggestions?

However, why won't 9.1 let you turn VM off? How much RAM is in your 1400?

Re: New PB 1400 owner questions (and a IOXperts 802.11 driverquestion)
Anybody with an upgraded 1400? Are Sonnet's claims of 30% more battery life with upgrade close to accurate? That'd be a pretty neat fringe benefit. Yes, they are accurate. Since switching to a 333MHz G3, battery life has extended out. I did a stress test with Battery Amnesia and the numbers I got weren't too far off from Sonnet's. Any recommendations for a USB PC card? Yes, don't. Unless you find a mythical 16-bit one, all USB PC cards are CardBus, and the 1400 isn't. Any other general pointers? I've owned a PB 150 and now have an iBook 500 (which I'm selling soon; thus the 1400 purchase), so I suppose I'm just looking for general 1400 pointers. Max out the RAM ASAP. Putting 60MB in mine has helped immeasurably, and I can even run OS 9. (I wouldn't recommend this with the 117MHz CPU, though.

Re: Best OS for a 5300
What notable features does 8.6 have that 8.1 does not have? Better power management, greater efficiency, better memory management, Carbon support to name a few. Actually, Carbon will work in 8.1 (very early versions). It just doesn't work that well. :-P I used it with my 1400 before I swept on to 9.1. -- - personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong. -- Oscar Wilde -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Mac Portable (or PB100?) PS connector
I'm now the proud owner of (an apparently) backlit old-sk00l Mac Portable, original case and two batteries of variable but not charged condition. What I'm not the proud owner is a power supply to match, or a manual. Does someone know the connector specs and power requirements for the AC adaptor, or for the PB100 adaptor which is allegedly compatible? -- - personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Don't have a spazz-o. -- Nabiki, Ranma 1/2 --- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
