Powerbook 5300ce Ram Limit
The stated ram limit for the 5300ce is 64 megs. I have noticed that are ram upgrades for the grayscale and cs 5300 in th configuration of 48, and 56 megs. After looking up these ram modules, I was informed by a web based ram dealer's site that these modules are not compatible with the 5300ce. This seems odd to me.

Re: Powerbook 5300ce Ram Limit

I have a few firewire drives I want to play with on the 3400c but not sure if I want to spend the $100+ for a firewire card just to have it not work. I got USB working, not sure about firewire. Any input is greatly appreciated. I've got a Newer FW2Go card and it works on my _non-upgraded_ 3400s, with the caveat that I had to trim the end of the card to allow it to fit into the cage. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/3400cardbus.html I haven't tested lots of devices, but I do recall for sure it working with a Lacie 60GB desktop drive. I've got a bunch of other FW devices but heck if I can remember if I tried anything else. Been weeks since I played, I'm afraid my memory has many fawlty circuits. hth, Dan . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
