Re: OS 9 for PB 1400?
Would a G3 400Mhz upgrade make OS 9 feasible for a 1400? Running 8.1 now with 56Meg RAM. It works great on my 400MHz 1400 with 60 RAM. Very responsive. The accel. boards were on clearance/sale at Sonnet not long ago; I paid well under $200 for the 400MHz board. The system plus a tons of extensions, takes up 19-24 megs depending on how many apps I have running. There are bugs with 8.6 and quicktime (especially) so I'd jump all the way up if you jump up at all. B -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 3400c miscellany
I've got two Li-Ions batteries and one will give me about almost two hours and the other only about an hour to hour 15 minutes. At least once a month I try to completely discharge them all the way using them instead of the AC adapter and then let them charge back up. I got the PB3400 and the batteries used so I don't know how they were treated previously. The Li-Ion batteries are pricey new and I don't know if they really give any better performance than a standard NiCad. Can anyone comment on the differences? Your PB might still have an internal modem but it won't be any faster than 33.6 and frequently they won't connect any better than 28.8 which might explain the PCMCIA modem, especially if it's a 56K.

Hi, Just a couple of questions about the 3400c: What is the average battery life? Mine looks like it will struggle to get an hour out of it's Li-ions. Assuming I need a new battery, what am I roughly looking at? Also, did all 3400's have that internal modem? I sort of assumed my 3400c/200 would have one, but it arrived with that PCMCIA modem in tow, so now I'm unsure.

Re: Problem installing Asante FriendlyNet PCMCIA Card into PB1400
Below find Asante's instructions to me when I had difficult getting my FriendlyNet card to work on my 5300. Also included are the Asante Tech Support numbers. They are very responsive and helpful. Good luck. *** Sounds like you have a TCP/IP problem and are using OS/8.5.1 or OS/8.6. Open the TCP/IP control panel, in the 'Edit' in the tool bar, select 'User Mode and click on 'Advanced, close this box. Now in the control panel click on the 'Options' radio-button and in that next box make sure that the X is removed from the 'Load only when needed 'BOX'. This prevents TCP/IP being loaded until a program call for it, like Netscape Communicator(tm), which assumes that TCP/IP is loaded when it attempts to contact the Internet. According to a MacWindows article found on the web, there is a known problem with OS 8.5.x and 8.6 that causes network transfer rates to dramatically drop after upgrading when AsanteFast 10/100 PCI cards or Farallon cards are used. OS 8.5 and 8.6 installer copies a file called Apple Enet into the extensions folder when you have one of these cards. The Apple Enet is the driver for an Apple Ethernet card, and interferes with the performance of the Asante cards. Apparently all versions of AsantéFast 10/100 PCI card is affected by this problem. The NIC-PCI may also be affected, although the article does not indicate this card specifically. This problem includes time-outs and other strange performance and is not related to the drivers in use with our card. The most likely cause of this is the SLPPlugin extension installed with the OS. We recommend that this extension be disabled in Extension manager and then the system restarted. Description: After upgrading to Apple OS 8.5, network performance drops dramatically. Transfer rates can drop down to 100 Kbytes per second in some cases. A clean install to a previous OS improves performance. If the computer is a client, the client only will experience network performance degradation. If the computer is a server however, some or all of the clients may experience a decrease in performance due to the decrease in server performance. Resolution: To help resolve the slow performance on the 8.5.1 systems try the following procedure which includes the following steps: Turn off the following in the Extensions Manager and then reboot the computer. Apple E-Net extensions DNS Extension SLPPlugin Extension Personal Web-Sharing An Apple TIL file (#24691) describes the new Mac OS 8.5 Network Services Location (NSL) Technology. The NSL is made up of a Manager and a set of plug-ins that gather data via particular network protocols such as DNS. As noted on the MRP, Mac 8.5's SLPPlugin (Service Location Protocol) and DNSPlugin (Domain Name Service) extensions are NSL plug-ins. If you have Virex virus software running then you should either temporarily disable it, or get the upgrade version of Virex for OS 8.5. I believe the latest version is 5.9.1. This will cause problems with the network. If these items do not produce significant results then you may try the following procedure: Create a folder on the desktop and name it Old Prefs Note the TCP/IP and/or MACTCP setting on paper, Then: Move the following items to this folder: AppleShare PREP AppleTalk Preferences ASLM Preferences MACTCP Preferences MACTCP DNR TCP/IP Preferences NOTE: Again it is suggested that you save the TCP/IP and/or MACTCP address information in an external file in the Temp folder or write that information on paper to speed the restoration of your Macintosh's TCP/IP settings (if this is necessary). If this procedure does not help then try Zapping the PRAM on the system, re-establish the parameters effected and then test. Please call us if you need additional information or support, or please be sure to include all previous correspondence to your replies, thanks.

Best older QT for a 1400?

Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 17:59:43 -0500 From: Aly [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fascinating. Yes, it makes me wish I had one of these hanging about in the basement. If anyone comes across an available one, do please post the news. Sometimes these sorts of machines are left in trash heaps at big places like universities, but I didn't know of any the last time our U purged one of its departments. It used to be an all-Mac campus; now, sadly, that's changing. If you find a Laptop which just buzzes (instead of bonging) and then throws garbage on the screen at start up, and doesn't start up, I can fix it. That's a sign of corrupt EEPROM. Of course, you can't run teh installer that writes teh EEPROM unless you can boot up the machine. I bought some blank EEPROM chips and got them burned with good code and they're in sockets, so they're fairly easy to replace. Some 1 MB SIMMs will corrupt the EEPROM for some reason. I mention this, because I'd hate for someone to find one and then discard it thinking it is dead when it is easily fixable. Oh, and there is a port on the side that looks like it is for a VGA monitor, only hooking a monitor to it will kill the power supply. It's just one diode, and the thing will still run off of battery power (I think), so that's pretty easily fixable too, except that the power supply (the internal bit) is a pain to get to. Oh, one last thing. Let me reemphasize that the Outbound Laptop is a fairly different animal from the Outbound Notebooks. The stuff I wrote is about the Laptop. I don't have a Notebook.

Re: Getting 190 Up To Hyperdrive
Greetings All: DON'T use 3-in-1 oil on your 190's squeaky lid hinges unless you want shorts and a new machine! Use a drop of liquid graphite. True Value carries it. I'm really confused now!! I'd appreciate any recommendations for locales with the best price/value for a new HD for my PB 190, and tips how complex an operation changing HDs are. 2.5 inch 20 gig ATA/IDE notebook drives for $70 @ Dirt Cheap Drives Doug Other World Computing has always given me good prices on memory and drives. They'll even haggle over competitors prices. They have installation sheets too. Try them. Emery Soledad Thanks for the info and savings!!! I am currently using file sharing to backup files on my OS 9.1 1.2 gig (soon to upgrade) 6320 to my OS 8.1 PB 190 so I can stop using my EZ-135 as a backup machine. I am using Simple Backup for backup because all other free/shareware backup utilities out there are PPC only, not 68k. Apple's File Synchronization control panels on both machines crash and burn so I just don't use them. Any help would be appreciated. Download File Synch 2.2 from O.S. 9.2.1 from Apple Care in the main Apple site. Does 6840s like FS 1.1 in O.S. 9.1. V. one last thing; my file sharing is only one way via PB to 6320 because I don't possess nor have access to long lost OS 8.1 file sharing files. If any one knows of an archive update source where I can pick up OS 8.1's file sharing files I'd be most appreciative! Make a download request on the forums at MacFixIt or MacAddict . Someone's bound to have a 8.1 CD thry can rip for you. Doug A null modem's way faster! Jake Chamberlain Thanks all. JimWG -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Mac Portable - Strange Card
This message written: Monday, 12 August 2002 19:54:32 PDT Obtained my second Mac Portable today ($5). Inside I found an odd card. In the PDS(?) slot was a card that said (Mac Portable 3mb RAM Card) made by Sunland Micro Systems. It had no RAM card in the RAM slot on the logic board and when I finally got enough juice in the battery to get it to boot, it shows only 1mb RAM. The hard drive was toast (made a LOUD squealing noise when it finally came on), but I swapped it with a known good drive from another machine and it booted OK. Any ideas what this card might be and how to put it to use? Ken Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 190 cs
Victoria-- It should be fairly straightforward to transfer the connectors from one mb to the other. I've done some surgery of this order--you have to be careful, but it can be done. My tools of choice are a 15-watt grounded iron (for static electricity safety) from Radio Shack and the finest rosin-core solder they carry, something in the range of 1.5mm diameter, I think (.032 here in the US of A). You will also need some method of desoldering the connectors from the mbs in question. I would warn against desoldering braid, as it seems to require high-wattage irons and usually leaves residue, but a solder sucker should suffice, as will other more primitive methods like melting the solder on both terminals and pulling _carefully_ until you get the connector free. If you're not familiar with soldering techniques, you should be able to find manuals at whatever the UK equivalent of Radio Shack is. Or just rope in a techie friend of yours--I wouldn't try this if you're at all uncomfortable with soldering. There's also a fair chance of destroying the board, so be careful at any rate! Best wishes, Jesse -- Hi Ok i need help from the group of you that strip boards and solder like (mad dog) if he is listening. My problem is the power connector on my 190 the psu is totally shot and i need to replace it but the cost in the UK is silly so i have an old 150 mb that is shot (nice big crack) can i take the power connector of this board and solder it to the 190cs then use the 150 psu to power the 190cs, it does not have to charge the batterys as my 3400 can do that . any ideas and help would be gladly accepted.

190 cs SCSI disk mode
The internal HD on my 190cs is formatted using Silverlining 6.1, and when I try to boot it into SCSI disk mode, it shuts down as soon as the HD drivers load. It's not the disk mode adapter, 'cause it works on a Duo. Any suggestions? I've already tried resetting the PRAM. Thanks, Jesse -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Bad screen or bad pram?? any ideas?
I tried to get my portable (520C upgraded with Newer to PPC 167 running OS System 8.5) going last night and it wouldn't show anything on the screen. So i tried zapping the pram , but i couldn't get it to do that, after numerous tries i thought i was doing it wrong, so i held the option-command=r-p and power key on. it didn't reset the prom but it did show the screen. so i took my hand off the buttons and at the bottom of the screen you could see the screen indicator go from bright to dim and then you can't see anything on the screen. OK, so i did this again but after awhile my hands got tired of holding keys down, so i released the option+command+ r and the screen stayed visible because i was still holding the power+p down. I then released the power and the screen went dark. I redid this and kept holding the power key and p down, after computer loaded everything, i had it rebuild desktop and then attempted a restart. Still no screen. I tried running norton while holding power+p, but it hung up about half way through. I unplugged it and took batteries out, retried it--no screen. I did this and left it unplugged last night, plugged it back in this morning- no screen. You can hear it load and it does load everything because i can hear the voice telling me so. Has this anything to with the pram battery ? I know that the date was off and it has been off before when the computer has set for quite awhile. It also has been setting plugged in for 12 hrs. but still no screen. I was able to mount this on my desktop and run norton on it had a few minor problems which were corrected but still no screen. When doing the option+command+r+p, it won't do it or you can not hear the restart chime. I have tried this also. PowerBook 500 series 1. Remove the AC adapter and the battery. 2. Let the PowerBook sit without power connected for 3 to 5 minutes. 3. Simultaneously press and hold Command-Option-Control-Power On for 5 to 10 seconds. 4. Reinstall the battery and, if necessary, reconnect the AC adapter. any help appreciated. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Mac Portable - Strange Card
Thanks for the reply. However, I do have the service manual. Understand about the memory issue for normal memory cards. However, this card is in J12, which is labeled PDS. The connector is configured much like the PDS slot of an SE (suprise). In that slot it would have to have some special use. Something like an automatic RAM disk, or some such? It must need some sort of special driver as it is not seen by the machine in a normal 6.08 boot.
