PB-150 external mouse?

2003-02-19 Thread Manuel Cercós
I have an old powerbook 150 and because of a problem with the motherboard 
the trackball does not work. I would like to know whether there is any 
possibility of attaching an external mouse. Thanks.

Yeah come to think of it I don't even think anything in the PowerBook 100 
series qualifies for smallest.

only the Duos, 2400, 12" G4 and white iBook qualify

Re: Powerbook 170 acting funny

2003-02-19 Thread RaceCivicR
Thanks for the reply. The rated input voltage I was supplying was a bit 
higher than what it was designed for (states on the Powerbook 7.5V 2A max) 
and I was giving it just under 10v (using a battery pack that supplied a 3A 
max supply). Normally semiconductors are a bit more tolerant to a bit more 
voltage but you might be correct. As far as the amperage deal. Simple 
electronics specifies that a unit will only consume as much current as it 
needs. So supplying 10A of power would net the same results as supplying 2A. 
There are a few exceptions to the rule, such as a AMM meter which is set 
inline of a lead. But for the most part components won't be damaged by 
excessive current.

Anyway, I'll tear it down again and go component by component testing to see 
if any are bad. Maybe the extra voltage did fry the computer. If it did, 
anyone interested in parts? I'm moving in the 2 weeks and need to clear out 
some of the stuff here, so if I can't save it, it might be best to get parts 
into the hands of people who can use them. I'm still gonna see if I can get 
it working again but if I can't anyone wanting parts write me. Just cover 
shipping and a little for gas to get me to the post office (ya, I own a 
Honda, but it's more a racecar than a gas friendly compact now). 

As far as the details, it's a 170 with a 140 screen, 4megs ram, 40meg HD and 
even the modem option. Again, everything worked until I turned it off. I just 
tested the battery and after a long night of charging, seems to be holding a 
7v charge after sitting all day. Hope I don't get torn a new one for not 
listing this on the LemSwap, but this is just in case I can't get it working 
again and only seems fair to hook you guys up on it first!

Re: ethernet

2003-02-19 Thread Tom Roth
The plug in the back is a dual plug for modem or ethernet.  If you got all the pieces 
with the 3400 you would also get a splitter plug that allows you to use both modem and 
ethernet at once.  When I take my 3400 to work with me I use the ethernet to connect 
it to the network.  When at home I use the modem plug.  I'm going to get cable or DSL 
at home soon though so the modem will not be used after that.

Yes, you could get a PCMCIA ethernet card and if you wanted to do 100mbps you would 
have to but otherwise you might as well use the built in ethernet.

>PowerBook Duo (mono): 1.4" x 10.9" x 8.5" = 129.7ci

Yes if the Duo was a perfect rectangular prism as the AluBook almost is, 
that would be true.  However for anyone that has owned a Duo, they will 
tell you that the top of the lid doesnt quite extend far enough to cover 
the entire bottom casing, which gives the Duo a shorter stance when open. 
 Not only that, but it has a rather significant curve to the top of the 
lid as well, so the ends are even shorter than the middle when open.  Not 
to mention that the front of the bottom casing is not angular, but a 
perfect semi-circle.  And the sides of the duo are beveled a lot as well, 
to the point where only two small strips along the center of either side 
actually reaches the Duo's maximum width.

No. 2.1 is only for the MP2000 and MP2001 and the eMate, and is the one 
that allows ethernet connections. The MP130 was the first system 
shipping with 2.0, iirc.

>

Via a rare and costly ROM transplant, IIRC, and a 2.0 MP120 is mostly 
notable for running 2.0, as in 'it's not notable how well the pig 
dances, but that it dances at all'. You're really seriously RAM starved 
on a 1.3 MP120, which I think only shipped with 1 or 1.5 MB of memory. 
2.0 MP120's shipped with 2 MB and the 130 has 2.5.

These days, MP2000's and 2100's are back to ~$100+ on eabay and not a 
lot of them, though there was a glut of them a while back that really 
depressed the price, but that glut has vanished. (stupidly, I didn't 
grab one at the time.)

Nope. The eMate has an ARM710a CPU, and runs 2.1 just fine.

Yes. Ethernet (and by extension, 802.11b) support requires NIE2 (Newton
Internet Enabler v2), which in turn doesn't run on NewtonOS 2.0.

NIE1 runs fine, but doesn't support Ethernet.

> Also, I thought the Newton MP 130 could be upgraded to 2.1 and that

Nope. Newton's OS is in ROM, and can't be upgraded. There were patches
issued, which reside in (Flash)RAM, but other than that, no go.

> And the 120 can be upgraded to 2.0, can't it?

Yes. A very rare upgrade, requires a ROM to be swapped out. As in a physical
ROM chip.

ROFL "You will work politely"...love those machine translations.

Alas this is only for use with the rare PPC upgrade for the 
540...frankly, not worth the cost anymore, and certainly not worth this 
much work.

Well, let me put it this way: if you don't understand what has to be done
from the Babelfish translation, you probably don't want to embark on such a
project at all.

I doubt it will work with the Newton.

Powerbook 170 acting funny

2003-02-19 Thread RaceCivicR
My oldest Powerbook, a 170 which I saved from scrap a bit back was a little 
toy I played with when I got bored back in the day. Pretty much everything 
didn't work. But after much time and effort the only things I could never get 
working was the battery, trackball and the space bar. So after that it sat in 
my room collecting dust until today when I pulled it out. 

Anyway, I never had a power supply for the thing so I fabricated one from a 
step down transformer which I normally used to give the battery a little 
juice which allowed me about 5-10 minutes of fiddling time. But this time I 
tried using a 12v car battery to power it and it worked. The OS was all 
screwed up so I did a fresh install of 7.5.5 and gave it a go to actually use 
it again. Ok, now here's the odd thing. Everything was working great until I 
shut it down. After I did, I could never get it started again. No bong (or 
death tone), no hard drive activity and the screen got these weird bright red 
lines across it (even though it's a 1-bit 140 monitor). It also won't even 
react unless I plug power to the back and put the battery in. Any idea's 
guys? It would really be a shame to scrap it after all this time and work, 
thanks.

Well, it is. The 12" AluBook is the smallest Apple computer ever:

PowerBook 100: 1.8" x 11" x 8.5" = 168.3ci
PowerBook Duo (mono): 1.4" x 10.9" x 8.5" = 129.7ci
PowerBook Duo (colour): 1.5" x 10.9" x 8.5" = 140.0ci
iBook (dual USB): 1.35" x 11.2" x 9.1" = 137.6ci
PowerBook (12"): 1.18" x 10.9" x 8.6" = 110.6ci

So, the top five smallest PowerBooks are:
1. PowerBook 12"
2. PowerBook Duo (mono)
3. iBook (dual USB)
4. PowerBook Duo (colour)
5. PowerBook 100

Lost the Chooser

2003-02-19 Thread cyber corsair
Hi all well as I said last week I was tryig to set up my ethernet with  a Asante 
Frendlynet Adapter and  some how i killed the Chooser wile i was trying to get my 
system to see one of  my PC systems but it would not connect.

After  I changed a setting I went back to the Chooser and all that comes up is a small 
top of the bar about this size -->| .

I went on my trip and a few people there were techs at the same Apple Plan i worked 3 
years ago. They think I may need to reload the whole system but I don't have the OS 
just the powerbook. 

(BTW this is a 520c with the 1.44 superdiver running 7.5 on a 320meg SCSI drive)

I really like to this to work so any idea would be of great help.

what we did try so you all know is rebuild the desktop(twice)
moved the prefs to the desktop(this just made it hard to put them back)
turning off the extensions but this didn't not work at all.

If anyone  on the list is in the Sacramento area maybe we can hook up and I could get 
a copy of the chooser file?..for My next trck is to hook up a 28.8/33.6 USR Sporter 
Modem  but it looks like I need to hunt down a cable.The 520c has a modem but it's a 
14.4 and  my ISP won't  connect at that speed  but will suppot the 28.8 -33.6.  


Ok thanks

Exactly because the limitation is the 1400's ROM, not the size of the
upgrades. You can stick as much RAM into a 1400 as you want, it still will
only see 64 MB.

There are tricks, like using a FlashRAM PC Card for VM, but nothing, short
of reverse-engineering and patching the 1400's ROM, will make it accept more
than 64 MB of real RAM.

Short answer: no.

You're in luck; this is one of only two PowerBook 1x0 models that uses
cheap, readily available IDE hard drives (all other models use hard-to-find
and expensive SCSI drives). You can stick any standard 2.5" IDE HD in it. Go

Yes, 9.1 fixed a few nasty bugs in 9.0.x. Especially for Sonnet G3 owners
(like myself).

And also a nice touch is that with every release, there is less 68K code in
the OS that slows things down due to emulation overhead.

That's one of the reasons people are trying to get OS 9.2.2 to run on older
machines.

Yes, to most of the questions. The Orinoco Wavelan Silver works with 
any powerbook with a PCMCIA slot: from the 190 up to the TiBook.
Works with OS 7.5 up to Jaguar (OS 10.x needs the Opensource driver: 
check out versiontracker to find it).
The card works with most PC portables too. Don't know which OS, but 
IIRC Win 95 and up (or down, depending on your perspective).
It's a nice card for shared Mac-PC wireless networks.
It also works with Airport software on, IIRC, G3 and G4 powerbooks; 
don't know if anyone's got it to work with non-G3 powerbooks and 
Airport software.
Also works as Software Base Station in compatible PB.
Also is rumored to work with Newton (there's a web site detailing 
same; do a Google), but, IIRC, only with the Newton 2000 and 2001.
Also, there are alchemistic sites detailing how to flash the Silver 
card to turn it into Gold (higher WEP: 128-bit vs 64-bit, IIRC).

All in all, a great card that you can usually find selling in the $40 range.

Re: OS9 vs. OS9.1

2003-02-19 Thread David Allen
I'll have to agree. 9.1 is much more stable than 9.0.x and runs beautifully on my
1400/G3/217 and 1400/G3/333.  I gave up on attempting to get 9.2 to even install
on either, so I couldn't tell if it would have been as good. 9.1 also worked quite
well (if slower than 8.1) on both 1400s in their original 117 speeds.

I recommend as much RAM as possible. It runs fine and allows lots of other
programs to operate well with the 1400's 64 Meg Max under 8.1, but I had to use
RAM Doubler to boost to 192 Meg with 9.1. This was a bit slower than 8.1 with the
117 MHZ CPUs, but very quick with the G3 upgrades.
