Ethernet for 2300c

[tbrock]

Is it possible to connect a 2300c to our school's network. The unit I'm
getting has a duo dock with the modem pass through only. Thanks for your
reply.

Welcome Joey.
Seriously.

I guess it's a 165c you're talking about, yes? If you find yourself any 
old Mac monitor (try GoodWill or something) plus a cheap PB monitor 
adaptor, you can use the 165c, regardless of the screen.

You can then network the 190 and 165 using a standard mini-DIN8 (Mac 
serial/printer cable) which costs about $5. Then exchange data via file 
sharing.

It's better to replace the floppy; the 190 modules can be replaced by 
5300, 3400 or Kanga G3 floppy modules. These are pretty widely available 
from places like smalldog.com and powerbookguy.com. Also try pbparts.com 
Probably $20-25? for a new floppy. Someone on this list may have spare.

Cheers,

RD

PB 1400 Question for Mad Dog

[John McGibney]

 I went to your page for more info only the Apple links are no longer vaild
could you explain in more detail what the following patches do? and are they
necessary with Os 8.5 or above, or were they rolled into the install CD that
came with the last batch of 1400S?

There are a few files from Apple associated with the PB1400 that implement
small bugfixes: 

PMU fix (fixes problems using the brightness and contrast buttons):
 http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n10764

PB 1400 ATA Flash Extension (fixes some problems with PCMCIA cards):
 http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n10804

TIA 

John

I wouldn't believe it.  Try a new battery.

No such powerbook as a 175c, not even a 175 anything.  How about a
165c or 180c, or a Duo 270c.  In any case, the floppy drives aren't
interchangeable with a 190 (AFAIK) but should be the same as a 5300.
The orange blotches sound like a 165 display I have, but it's worth
changing the display, if you can find another junker 165c or 180c (displays
are interchangeable, just different processors) on ebay.  Easy to change,
BTW.
Paul

Re: PB 5300 battery

[Judy Perry]

Sue,

Hmmm... I had a seemingly similar problem with my 5300.  After going
through 2 or 3 batteries and a new poweradapter or two, it finally worked
itself out.

Not a pleasant thought to ponder, "How many batteries & power adapters am
I gonna need to buy before this thing finally works itself out?"

I know this probably doesn't help...

:(

PB 5300 battery

[Sue Mirlo]

OK, I have an annoying problem.  My PB 5300 doesn't like any battery, it doesn't like 
to work without a power adapter.  After running for about 20 minutes with battery (no 
power adapter), the PB shows the message that I am running out of battery and it will 
be shut down in X secunds (?).  I cannot read the message because it happens in 1 
second.  And the PB shut down with the losing of all my open documents.  This happens 
with my old battery and the new one.

If I restart the PB with the power adapter, I notice that there is still about 2 hours 
of batter.  What is the problem with this PB?  I do not think that it is a problem 
with the batteries, maybe the power?

Any advise will be appreciated.

Sue

New PowerBook User

[Joey Kelley]

Hello All!
  Just wanted to introduce myself, I am Joey
Kelley a high school student who has just come into
not one, but two PowerBooks.  A 175c and a 190. 
Obviously I know which is the better one, especially
considering the 175 has big orange blotches in the
screen.
  A question for you all:  Will the floppy drive
from the 175c fit into the 190? The 190 drive is bad,
and unless I get the ethernet card working with out
any additional drivers, I can't get anything on or off
of it as I don't have another workable mac besides the
175.
 Any suggestions on this matter, and any others,
such as what are the practicle uses of a 175 with a
bad screen, or just what I can do with a 190, would be
appreciated.
  Thanks!
  cya, Joey Kelley

Chris, 

Did you solve your problem?

I was checking into a different problem for myself and found some other items 
that you may want to look for. They may not relate to a 1400, but someday you 
may have a new Mac to use also. 

I ran into an Extenstion called DVD AutoLauncher and another item with 
Monitor in the name. They run in the background and are not seen by you and 
me, but can tie up a port or processor cycles. 

I used an app to monitor the processor cycles to find out what was running in 
the background about the time of my problem, and víola! I caught the dirty 
rotten extension in the act. I used PPC LoadWatcher, it is not the best, but 
it gets the job done.

Hope you solved the problem earlier, but just in case,

Brent

Ah, so that would be it then: I can replace the 5300 trackpad with the
trackpad from a 190!  I do faintly recall something about them being
different mechanisms...

Peace,

Drew, 

What you doing on this coast?

I have sent several 5300s thru the REA  program for the second or third time. 
But I did not send that one thru. 

I need to get up in 41/2 hours and can not remember about the tappable, but I 
will try to look and see if I kept anything on that this afternoon.
