Playing sound files on Pb190
Hello all! I have 2 questions. 1. Can I play mp3 (or wave, or...) sound files on my Pb190? (Mac OS 7.5.3) 2. If yes, then: where can I find such a software for download. I tried to find somewhat on the net, but all I have found, they're work only on PPC machines. Thanks for any suggestions! Johnny -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Playing sound files on Pb190
1. Can I play mp3 (or wave, or...) sound files on my Pb190? (Mac OS 7.5.3) No. Not on any 68K Mac. But you can decode MP3 (slowly) to AIFF (lots of disk space) using SoundApp 68K. 2. If yes, then: where can I find such a software for download. I tried to find somewhat on the net, but all I have found, they're work only on PPC machines. The cheapest portable MP3 jukebox would be a PowerBook 5300. Works well. Mine did.

Re: weird problem with Powerbook 520
I had the same experience (no hard drive spin up, just clicking) when I inadvertently fried my old HD. I knew right away, tho, what the cause of the HD melt-down was--I forgot to install a SCSI terminator. This was easily, albeit a bit expensively, fixed. I would hold off on popping your new HD into your PBook and get the old one tested at your local shop--if it's dead, you need to find out why before you torch your new one; if it's not, you've eliminated one potential source for your problem. cheers, Don Silver = __ Do You Yahoo!?

How much faster speed does ultra wide give you, or is it a matter of being able to use more current devices? The 520/540/550's external SCSI port is limited to 5 MB/sec. This is often referred to as Narrow SCSI. There is a variant of this 8-bits-wide SCSI called Fast SCSI. This is used internally in the 7500 and other similar Macs. This is 10 MB/sec. But, on machines so equipped, the external SCSI port is still 5 MB/sec. And, this external port is on a separate SCSI bus controller chip on many Macs. An UW-SCSI port is 16-bits-wide, and is, consequently, capable of faster aggregate transfers. Certainly 20 to 40 MB/sec, unless it is forced into 8-bits-wide mode by the device. There is a 160 MB/sec variation. I believe the PCMCIA UW-SCSI cards are from Adaptec, but there could be others. Most servers use UW-SCSI. Current LVD (low voltage differential) SCSI drives are generally compatible with single-ended SCSI, such as Narrow, Fast, and UW-SCSI. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It's very prudent of you to wait rather than force your 280c open. There are some small plastic eyelets that are very often broken off in the process of cracking open this or any Duo. They're right under your right palm, at the front, right, corner where the top and bottom meet. I would strongly recommend downloading a service manual for your Duo and follow the steps carefully. Unfortunately I don't have a link to follow. Pretty much all the Duos can be upgraded to a PPC by swapping out the logic board with that of a 2300. Everything else will match up. However you will need one of the high output AC adapters (36 watt rather than 25) and there may be an issue of heat if the stiffener/frame/chassis inside doesn't make good contact with the processor. With the PPC upgrade you can install a much larger, cheaper IDE drive (which will require an IDE ribbon cable). As to your sound problem, the speaker gets power from the same ribbon cable that goes to the LCD screen. Perhaps the connection at the speaker, or where the video cable connects to the logic board is not properly seated. Or it could be a software problem (sound out selection in control panel etc.). You may try to zap the PRAM and see if that resets any defaults related to sound. HTH, -makmac -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: VST Tri-Media Reader and Zips and CF PCMCIA
. Well, tonight I tried to get the PB online. It does get online through my dial-up ISP that I am about to turn off in a few days, but now I can't get the Netscape browser to work. Did you try reinstalling Netscape? What version are you using? So there's an old old version of (pooey pooey I HATE to even say this) AOL (v. 2.7!) that I decided to try. My mother-in-law has an account that I can access. Well, no go there because the account name has more letters in it than version 2.7 will allow. So that's out. Sotell your mother-in-law to add an account name to her account (she's allowed 7 names) that is 7 characters or less. Then try to access THAT new name which will be useable in that earlier version of AOL . She signs up the name with a password she tells you. YOU sign in with that new name and PW. You will be sharing HER main account. I share my account with my sister--and she lives in another state. The only caveat is that we cannot be signed on simultaneously. You will be able to send and retrieve email but the browser in that version is extremely limited in function. You can run AOL version 3 on earlier computers (the browser is somewhat better). You cannot run the latest version because it requires a PPC. I can't remember whether version 4 requires PPC or not.

Do you have PC Exchange turned on in the system? If it is turned on it will recognize that CF card as a PC disk. If not, it will ask you if you want to reformat it, because it cannot recognize it. that's how you can reformat CF Cards. They are PC format as you buy them.

How much faster speed does ultra wide give you, or is it a matter of being able to use more current devices? The 520/540/550's external SCSI port is limited to 5 MB/sec. This is often referred to as Narrow SCSI. There is a variant of this 8-bits-wide SCSI called Fast SCSI. This is used internally in the 7500 and other similar Macs. This is 10 MB/sec. But, on machines so equipped, the external SCSI port is still 5 MB/sec. And, this external port is on a separate SCSI bus controller chip on many Macs. An UW-SCSI port is 16-bits-wide, and is, consequently, capable of faster aggregate transfers. Certainly 20 to 40 MB/sec, unless it is forced into 8-bits-wide mode by the device. There is a 160 MB/sec variation. I believe the PCMCIA UW-SCSI cards are from Adaptec, but there could be others. Most servers use UW-SCSI. Current LVD (low voltage differential) SCSI drives are generally compatible with single-ended SCSI, such as Narrow, Fast, and UW-SCSI. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: weird problem with Powerbook 520
Thanks for the tips, I appreciate them. I thought the PPC upgrade was just a chip replacement, I don't know if I'll bother with it if it's a lot more involved (probably better for me to just get a 2300 or better on E-Bay at that point - then again, I wanted the Duo largely 'cause I drastically prefer trackballs over touchpads). It's handy to know that the same cable goes to the LCD and sound output - the display looks fine, so that cable is probably OK. I've only tried to get sound through the Control Panel alarms setting and the Jigsaw puzzle (and, of course, I don't have a start-up chime). AFAIK, the volume settings are all on and up to max. Thanks again for the help! Ciao, Richard From: makmac [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PowerBooks) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (PowerBooks) Subject: Re: weird problem with Powerbook 520 Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 14:33:56 -0500 Richard Adams on 10/17/01 2:13 PM wrote: Also, I assumed from my lack of sound that there's probably a minor hardware problem (I'm betting a simple broken or disconnected wire) in my Duo.

It's very prudent of you to wait rather than force your 280c open. There are some small plastic eyelets that are very often broken off in the process of cracking open this or any Duo. They're right under your right palm, at the front, right, corner where the top and bottom meet. I would strongly recommend downloading a service manual for your Duo and follow the steps carefully. Unfortunately I don't have a link to follow. Pretty much all the Duos can be upgraded to a PPC by swapping out the logic board with that of a 2300. Everything else will match up. However you will need one of the high output AC adapters (36 watt rather than 25) and there may be an issue of heat if the stiffener/frame/chassis inside doesn't make good contact with the processor. With the PPC upgrade you can install a much larger, cheaper IDE drive (which will require an IDE ribbon cable). As to your sound problem, the speaker gets power from the same ribbon cable that goes to the LCD screen. Perhaps the connection at the speaker, or where the video cable connects to the logic board is not properly seated. Or it could be a software problem (sound out selection in control panel etc.). You may try to zap the PRAM and see if that resets any defaults related to sound. HTH, -makmac -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

No Line-In sound on 540c...
Does anybody have a small app I can try on 7.6.x that would allow me to test the Line-In on a non-PPC PB540c? I get sound from the speakers but can never play anything from the line-in regardless of control panel setting . I've tried a different motherboard and that that doesn't seem to be the issue. I would just like to be able to play my CD through the cheezy 540c speakers rather than have to setup a separate set.

Re: VST Tri-Media Reader and Zips and CF PCMCIA
Donna suggested: Did you try reinstalling Netscape? What version are you using? Can't reinstall it. Don't have it on floppy. And I don't have a floppy drive hooked up to my iMac to make a floppy version from the CD version I have. Can't d/l it because I can't get online with a browser to d/l it. Catch-22. tell your mother-in-law to add an account name to her account (she's allowed 7 names) that is 7 characters or less. Then try to access THAT new name which will be useable in that earlier version of AOL Believe me, I know more about AOL than I care to. Was one of the very first subscribers years and years and years ago--1991 I think. Already thought of this option, but my mother-in-law is vacationing and away from a computer for another month or so (can you believe being offline for that long??!!!). Anyway, that option will not work right now. Yes, I could call and get her password, but her user name is also too long. So going the AOL route is just off the list of possibilities right now. And no, it's not worth installing AOL on my iMac and calling her for her account info and me setting up another account on her account while she is away.That's just a lot of futzing. I think I have a much easier workaround. At this point in time, I am just going to wait for the Compact Flash card and USB CF/SM reader to arrive Just got the PCMCIA CF adaptor today. It seems to be a far smaller headache than taking the PB directly online at this point. The CF card and CF/SM reader are due to arrive Thursday or Friday, Saturday at the latest. So I just have to hold tight until then. Patience...ugh! If I want to make the PB capable of being online at some point in time, updating browsers and such will be far easier via and CF card, I think. I am a little concerned that the USB CF/SM reader is a reader only and not also a writer, but I did a little research and it SEEMS that I should be able to drag and drop over to the reader from my iMac. I am keeping my fingers crossed, anyway. If not, I'll just sell this reader and get a reader/writer. I only paid $10 for this one, so I know I can sell it and get back what I paid for it. Once I finally get the CF card and reader, I'll report in on how it all works out just in case someone else on the list is interested.

Re[2]: DVD expansion

Ok, here's a poser - does the encoder card take up enough slack to allow other PB's to play DVD's as well? I can see a 170mhz (?) PPC upgraded 540C having enough oomph if nothing else is running. The PCI ones for schm-Intel boxes say they'll run on a 133mhz so I think Mac might do better. Or am I an idiot in need of a village. ;-) More importantly, are these DVD cards 16 bit, or CardBus ?
