Re: PB500 series and PCMCIA module...
Heh lets just see who has a PC Card Cage, let alone a CompactFlash card. The 500 series PC Card things are pretty much non-existant. I've only found one store on the entire internet that even mentions them, although out of stock and when I emailed him about them, he said something ignorant like would you use it for USB expansion and I'm thinking do you even know what you're talking about? How many of you Blackbird owners also have the PCMCIA expansion module? Do you use a PCMCIA/ATA CompactFlash card adapter and boot your PB from it? do you notice battery savings/speed gain versus using the hard disk? ** Lots of hellos from Dan Palka's Quadra 800: The power to be your best. ** -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wanted new PB 190 HD you might know
I just bought a PowerBook 190cs for $50 with 20mb of ram and a PC card modem. For practically nothing, do you mean like that? My company is closing shop and has probably a dozen used 190 PB's that can be had for practically nothing.

Random Notes from the List Mom
It's a sunny, chilly February day in Michigan. Some of the snow is slowly melting. And I'm as caught up with the last 7-10 days worth of list messages as I can be. Due to some configuration changes (specifically changing the IP address of the server itself), I've missed all list messages from sometime Thursday morning until earlier today. I don't know what's been going on on the lists, and one of the nannies is sending copies of several digests to me. Once I receive those, I'll send out a plea for missed digests. I'm working with the nannies to establish more specific policies on when, why, and how we ban and/or block subscribers, deal with violations of list policy, etc. If we decide to make these available to the public, I'll send out a general announcement. If you want to be unsubscribed from a list, change to digest mode, or change your email address -- and the list server is uncooperative -- first check that you are using the same address you used to subscribe. If it still doesn't work, be sure to mention the name of the list(s) you want updated. BTW, there is no automated process for changing your email address. Subscribe from the new address, confirm the subscription, wait for messages to start coming in, and then unsubscribe from the old one. Once our own list server software is up and running, this and other things will be much easier to do both via email and using a browser. We are offering $6/year email addresses at lemlists.com, which is not run on our very own server. The server is hosted by Coleman Web-Internet Services, and Ryan Coleman is the system administrator. More details at http:/lemlists.com/. These addresses are only offered to members of our email lists. We will also be offering email addresses, webspace, and other services using the lowendmac.net domain shortly. We should even be able to handle publication of iCal calendars and provide iTools-like access to your storage space. More details on that soon. Finally, there has been some question as to what is on topic and off topic on our lists. If the question involves a computer covered by the list, it's almost undoubtedly on topic. This includes getting software and printers to work. If it involves politics, it's definitely off topic. Let's try to stick to Macs and the programs we run on them and the peripherals we use with them. Thanks!

The usual cause of this is a corrupt AppleShare PDS file on the harddisk. This is an invisible file at the root level of any shared harddisk. The cure is to use ResEdit or another utility to make the file visible and then trash it. Next time you startup FileSharing it will create a new version of this file. The AppleShare PDS file contains all of the privileges for folders so trashing it will reset them. -- Clark Martin Clark, Thanks for the note. I should have said I tried *almost* all of Apple's suggestions (of which yours was one). :-) I actually first tried a less invasive method that Apple recommends. Here's what I did (from Knowledge Base article 11368): 1. Open Stickies from the Apple Menu, open a new note (any note). 2. Type anything (as long as characters are there). 3. Select Export Text from the File Menu. 4. Name the file AppleShare PDS (capitalization not necessary, but the spelling and the space is important). 5. Save the file on the first (root) level of the Startup Drive. 6. A dialog box will come up asking if you want to replace the file? Yes, you want to replace it. Note: If it does not prompt you to replace the file (step 6 above), then it didn't work. Check the file name and saving destination. Result: worked like a charm! File Sharing came right up.

Re: Are We Underestimating Honda -- Again?
A quote from: http://www.asimovonline.com/ Items of Interest Isaac Asimov's Birthplace Isaac Asimov was born in Petrovichi, Russia, in 1920. Petrovichi is very proud of their native son, and have honored the place of his birth with a memorial stone. A picture was supplied by Alexander Azimov, who is almost certainly a relative of Isaac's.

Well, I would definately check those specs! 40 meg HD? That is extremely small, and could barely hold 7.5.5! Actually, I don't even think it could. My guess is it has 40megs free on the HD. Like John said run Apple System Profiler on it. I am positive it was installed with 7.5.5, but just incase. take it with you on a floppy. When you come back from checking it, out please let us know what it does have. Hope This Helps.

In the 'System Profile' tab, under 'Hardware Overview' it'll tell you the processor type, and the Motherboard Model. (Along with all kinds of other stuff...)

Re: AppleShare PDS
...It just says File Sharing starting up and will stay like that until the battery dies an hour and a half later, if I let it go that long... The usual cause of this is a corrupt AppleShare PDS file on the harddisk. This is an invisible file at the root level of any shared harddisk. Wow, that's a new one for me; never saw that one before. Guess I've been lucky to never have this go bad, but then again I have no opinion on the Honda Asimo either. But a robot to get the paper in the morning or mail--you know, like on the Jetson's (what was the robot maid's name?)--can't be all bad. Heathkit made robots? I remember them as cheesy stereo kits back in the day. Anyway, AppleShare PDS is invisible for security perhaps? If so couldn't someone just trash the Users Groups CP and Data prefs and/or File Sharing CP prefs to delete user access? -David -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

ATA Hard Drives/PCMCIA slot
Fellow PB'ers: Where can I find resources for external ATA Hard Drives that will plug into the PCMCIA card port on a PB 1400c? I haven't seen any at lowendmac.com or anywhere else, yet I've been told they exist. Is it just a matter of adapters and power supplies? TIA, Ken N. * OT: BTW, here's a clip from the Isaac Asimov home page: Isaac Asimov was born in Petrovichi, Russia, in 1920. Petrovichi is very proud of their native son, and have honored the place of his birth with a memorial stone. A picture was supplied by Alexander Azimov, who is almost certainly a relative of Isaac's. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

This is one of those things that's too easy. Wouldn't have thought a visible file could replace an invisible. Remind me tomorrow to try and save a SimpleText document at the root level on my bosses Mac at work and name it Desktop DB. Odds are it won't let you as the Desktop DB files are always open IIRC. But what if say, you were using OS 9, launched Sherlock and told it look for AppleShare PDS (with the invisibles option checked) and then trash it. That might be faster yet, or at least save you from having to trash the new dummy file. Speaking of dummy files, we use this old chestnut at work (not that anybody asked): The System Folders each have a SimpleText document named Servers. Prevents guest users from accidentally successfully checking the mount drive at startup when logging in to other Macs. Oddly enough you can't use Sherlock for this. It will find the file but won't let you delete it. We use the Servers file trick at my daughters' school. I think I've used the technique for other things too as well as locking preference files. Sometimes you have to use a folder or a de-linked alias so it doesn't attempt to read from the file -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
