PB backlights

2003-10-15 Thread Tom Lee
You can get backlights for powerbooks from DigiKey. In turn, JKL
supplies DigiKey, so you might just want to contact them:

http://jkllamps.com/

In general, they specify these things by length and diameter. So, pull
out your old CCFL, and have a ruler handy while you talk to their tech
support folks. They'll hook you up with the right tube. (Just make sure
it's really a dead tube, and not a bad inverter.)

--Cheers,
Tom

Re: OS 5300

2003-10-15 Thread J Sand

OS 9 and the 5300 don't work well together. You can make it work if you max
out the RAM and don't mind very sluggish performance, but yes, you are
definitely better off going no higher than 8.6 on a 5300. In fact, if you
can get by with 8.1, that's the best choice.
Will 8.1 be satisfactory for Office 98?

Well, I'm running Office 2001 under OS 8.1 on a 5300c/100. It's sluggish but
it does work, so I would have to believe Office 98 would work fine.

Max it out to 64 and be patient, because both of those programs are going to
be slower than molasses on a cold day in January if you run them on a 5300.

Yeah, you'd be better off with Illustrator 6. I ran that on my 7100/80 
with no problems. I'm not sure which version of Photoshop would be best 
though. Absolutely don't even try to use Illustrator 9 with a 5300 
though, it will be too slow.
