Re: Which kind of Audio file does a Windows user use bydefault?
He/she could also try a shareware app called SoundApp (among other probably) that will translate Mac's sound files to .WAV for PeeCee's.

PB 520c and 3com PC Card Speeds
Hi Listers, I have a PB 520c and am trying to use a 3com Megahertz 56k Global Modem PC Card (Model #3CCM156). I consistently get speeds of only 31,200 even though on the same line with my other mac I can get as high as 48,xxx. I am using the Megahertz v.90 Modems modem script found on the 3com site. Any ideas on why I can or cannot equal the speeds of my other mac? Thanks, MaxTek -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Orinoco Antenna?
I believe they were one of the companies I called them before I bought my Netgear and they said their units do not support AppleTalk protocol but then very few wireless routers do and that may not be a problem for you anyway. If you're just needing TCP/IP then you're fine with any wireless router that supports the 802.11b. Now for the PC Card to go into your PB you'll need to make sure there are Mac drivers available which is why I went with the Orinoco card but there are others. Just make sure the card you buy (besides having Mac drives) is 802.11b just like the router. Or, if you want to use the newer 802.11g standard then make sure that both the wireless router and card are that same standard. -tom -- From: Donna Hood Pointer Subject: Re: Orinoco Antenna? _Does the D-Link brand stuff work well with Macs?

Eric J Quite true; I was under the impression that George's friend had, at least, sound capability, which on older PCs would mean a sound card would HAVE to be present (I believe..). Integrated audio on a PC is a fairly new (and not terribly satisfactory) addition on the consumer market, iirc.

Not so, 'windows speaker driver' will let you play .wav files (badly) without a sound card by pulsing the speaker line fast enough to generate audio tones. see : http://www.agsci.kvl.dk/~jerejej5/pcspeak.htm for more info ( download links) Ben. I mentioned that in a previous post. I have it(straight from Microsoft's download site) installed on a machine here. When I installed it, there was a calibration screen that froze so I couldn't use it at all. After restarting, the driver was installed and played the usual Win95 startup sound. What came out sounds absolutely nothing like the file played through a proper sound card. Also, when playing a sound the driver requires so many resources that the computer can't do anything else while playing a sound. This worked out for me because the machine I installed on is a monitorless print server and I just needed to know when it was done booting. For any *decent* sound with any significant clarity, a sound card is *required*.

Woes of an Uncharged Battery.
I have two 1400 batteries one charges, one isn't recognized. I put my VST and Original Battery side by side and did some Multimeter testing. On the OB, I get a reading of about 10V from the first and last pin when it's Dead. On the VST, I get a reading of about 2V from the first and last pin, it always seems dead. So, I assume that I just need to get 8V or so into the VST Battery and my PB will recognize it again. Is there any safe way I can do this? Charge the OB and connect 'em? Or is this something a desk jockey at a Battery Store is better off doing? Thanks for any Replies. -Jim -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: ide to scsi drive convertors
well, checked with my source and he's out right now, but expects some in a few days. i'll ask him about quantity, and some of the other questions, if he has answers. his grasp of english is marginal, which is one reason i'm buying one first to run through it's paces. i may well have to put it on a faster scsi bus on a laptop to have any idea of it's speed, but that's a small problem. i'm also trying to find a drive cheap to test it with, since i don't have a lot of money to waste if this is a dry well. i've found a small one, but there has been a suggestion (though it's from a highly, highly questionable source..) that drives over 8 gb might be a problem, but i'm hoping to pick one of those up on ebay, particularly since i won't have the adapters for awhile. with testing, mailing payment, shipping the first adapter, i probably won't know more for 2 weeks sadly, but i will let you all know if it works well or mostly works (i.e. if it only works for small drives or has problems formatting or something). i plan to be rather cautious with this, but if the first one works at all i know i can use it at least (though i'm paying a lot more for just one of course, but i really don't need a box if they aren't very good). i'll definitely see if there's an identifiable model number (assuming they weren't oem for someone), i'll also see how much of a continuing supply i can get. think good thoughts. I could go for two or three myself, but I would like to know about your experience with testing one when you get a chance...

Hi all, once again, my request for help, this time looking for an obscure supraExpress modem software, I got several responses-- and indeed, the modem is up and running. Thanks to all. THis little mac village is populated by a very neighborly, helpful bunch of fine folks. Sid Barras -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 1400 Dead/Dumb Battery?
Jim Lind wrote: Just got my Powebook 1400cs out of storage, etc. I put the VST battery in and the X over the battery (that signifies there is no battery) stays there. Anybody have some helpful hints? ETC. -Jim Hello Jim: I have had a similar problem with my Duo 230s. It was solved by simply restarting with the battery _fully inserted_ into the bay (I once forgot to fully seat the battery). I also had a similar problem with my PB 540 BTI (Battery Technology Industries?) battery. I took the PB cover off to find that the BTI latch was about 2 mm shorter than the Apple battery latch and would not allow good contact of the battery terminals (I kept having cycling charge problems, charge, then no charge with no net charge occurring). I took the battery latch cap off and stuffed some cardboard between the battery and the cap to make the battery travel further into the bay before the catch latched. This all occurred because I disassembled and reassembled my PB. The battery had worked fine before that. I must have moved the motherboard over 1-2 mm. I hope this helps. Good luck!
