Color Stylewriter 2400 breaks in Ukraine

2001-10-26 Thread mark baker

Hello all,

My Color Stylewriter 2400, which had been working like a dream here,
yesterday, when turned on, began making a clacking news during the start
up.  I opened it up and cannot see what could be obstructing one of the
gears. I think I will have to take it apart.  Does anyone know whether I
can get the manual or at least an exploded view on the WEB?  Is this,
perhaps, [hopefully], a known problem that can be easily fixed?

I cannot work here without a printer.

thanks,

mark

Which PB for $450 USD?

2001-10-06 Thread mark baker

Hello,

I have managed to convince my father to purchase an older PB rather than some
old PC laptop he spied at a local used PC shop.  Now, of course, I have to help
him find one.  He can only afford to spend about $450 USD. I thought that the
best option would be a PB 3400, which one can find on eBay for a little less
than that.  Another option would be to purchase a 1400c or 1400cs and a sonnet
crescendo, also on eBay.  I myself have the latter option and am quite happy
with it, despite a small problem with freezing.

My question is which of these options do you think would be best?

My father is barely computer literate, so I want to get him something quite
simple to operate [I will have about ten days over christmas holidays to teach
him how to use it].  He wants to use this machine to do email, surf the web and
do some word processing, while away from home.  If you have any other
suggestions besides these two options, please suggest away!  I just want to
find him the best machine for the money.

Thanks,

Mark [still in Lviv, Ukraine]

PB 1400cs in Ukraine?

2001-08-25 Thread mark baker

Hello,

I have a PB 1400cs and want to get it running in
Ukraine.  The voltage here is 220.  Do I need to buy a
voltage transformer to run the machine, or can I just
use a little mechanism to adapt between american
plugins and Ukrainian?  In case it makes a difference,
have an iBook adapter and the mini-adapter that Apple
recently recalled.

How about my Stylewriter 2400?

thanks in advance,

mark

 Sorry--I thought you might be familiar with the Type 119 error that Apple
 introduced in OS 9. Go to http://www.akua.com/  and look at the software link.
 You will have to click more and then scroll all the way to the right to
 download Nine11. There is also a discussion of the error there.
