Re: Where to get PowerBook 1400 CD-ROM Module and PCMCIA SCSI card?

[Dan K]

Andrew McCall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wanted to know about SCSI PC 
card adapters for a PB1400.

I'm not clear on why one would need or want such a thing for a 1400, the 
obvious answer is to use the built-in SCSI port.

Eh?

Also, 1400 CD expansion bay modules are widely available even in the UK . 
. . again going for the obvious, how about eBay? 6x and 8x modules sell 
for (USD) $15 to $50, 12x for $20 to $60, keep a continuous watch for a 
bit and ye will be rewarded with a bargain. A dead 12x (_cheap_!) is 
almost always the best deal, as a replacement Teac 24x CD-224e drive 
mechanism (eBay, usually new) can be found for under $20.

You'll find some details here:

I recently scored two "NEC 16-bit SCSI interface" PCcards, but neither have 
the cable adapter, however.

I have never tried it out on anything I have, but I assumned a driver would 
not be needed; just an app to help out like SCSI Manager or something...

The CD drives can be hard to find, it took a while for me to find a

For some reason I think there's an issue getting PC Card SCSI working.  
Drivers?

Anyway, it will have to be non-cardbus for certain, so you're looking  
for an older card.  AND, to top it off, the 1400 can only support the  
"old" SCSI manager, which also limits you.  The only shipping Adaptec  
card with SCSI drivers is cardbus, so that's out for starters.

I have one such (older) card that I use in all my ancient Win98 laptops  
(P100 era) but it doesn't get recognized by the 1400.  I never looked  
for other models/manufacturers as a result.

A quick google shows only one guy with a FAQ saying PC SCSI cards could  
work on the 1400, but no model #s listed.  Personally, given my  
experience, if they don't list a known working model #, I don't believe  
it yet :)

Adaptec's page for the 1460D say it works with just about everything on  
the planet except Macintosh.

Hi,

The PowerBook doesn't have a CD-ROM drive at the moment, and as it is badly
in need of an install I really need one!

I have tried eBay.co.uk and some suppliers of old Mac's in the UK, but
haven't managed to come up with one yet - can anyone else give me any ideas
where I can get one?  Does anyone on this list have one for sale?

I also was wondering if any PCMCIA SCSI cards would work with the old-style
PCMCIA slots on this laptop?  I have seen an Adaptec 1460D that would go
nicely with the 1400cs!

Thanks,

Andrew McCall
