Re: Latch broken on my PB1400!

One thing you could do (without having a 1400 in front of me to look at) is get some epoxy, and some fine gauze (preferably plastic or fiberglass if you can...model supply stores might carry the latter) or bit of tyvek (from a CD sleeve or something) and wrap the latch piece in a single layer of gauze/tyvek and smear it with epoxy. You can do the same thing with superglue, but im my experience epoxy works better. That should reinforce it sufficiently that it'll be stronger than before. NB: I have not done this to the latch per se, but if it's similar at all to the latch on my 540 that should be doable. I have used this technique to repair a variety of small, hard-to-replace plastic bits...the windshield wiper lever on my Honda is still going strong after this type of repair...beat spending several hundred dollars to replace the entire switch unit! -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: best OS for 520c
I would have to say OS 7.6.1 for this one. If you have enough ram, 8.1 would be a good choice. My dad's is using 7.6.1. I would love to bump his up to 8.1, but the last time I was down there I didn't have the adaptor to hook up my external cd to it. Being 800 miles away makes it a bit difficult. 7.6 is more stable than 7.5. I have also heard that you can install the presentation manager? from 8.1 into 7.6 allowing you to put pictures on your desktop. I am not sure of the name of this component or the procedure invovled...perhaps someone could shed some light on this? God Bless, Rick -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Just FYI, if you can connect the 520 to another Mac via ethernet you can do the install. I put my OS8.1 installer CD in my iMac and shared it. I then connected via ethernet to the iMac and mounted the CD to my PB190's desktop (the 190 has an '040 processor). Then I just ran the installer from the CD and upgraded from 7.5.5 to 8.1 just that easily. -makmac -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Powerbook 1400c
Hello all. I'm in the process of buying a Powerbook 1400c with a G3 Upgrade off eBay and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some questions I have. I've been perusing the used items for a few days now while I'm anxiously awaiting my new Powerbook 1400/G3 and I'm confused on how the memory works. For one thing, what's the REAL memory limit? Apple lists it as 64, but I'm seeing Powerbook 1400's on eBay with 80mb of RAM! At first I figured the Sellers were listing the virtual memory instead of the real Ram...but I've also seen auctions for 32mb memory cards for the 1400 that are stackable...two of which, plus the stock ram, would give theoretically give the machine 80mb's... Has anyone tried doing this or have done it? Also, are ALL 32mb chips stackable? I believe mine has a 32mb chip in it already (if what the seller says is accurate)...so I'm wondering if I can get away with just buying another 32mb chip to get to 80mb I just bought a 10 gig hard drive so I'm okay for hard drive space, but that RAM limitation is a killer. I really don't want to live with 64 mb unless I have to. Anyone have any background on this? Tony Smith, Anxious Mac Pappy P.S. If anyone has any PB 1400 items for sale, please email me privately. I may be interested. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
