Re: 1400 a Sonnet G3 400Mhz Upgrade
Can you tell me what your setup is using that Silver card? I've got a PB1400 (OS 8.6) with an Orinoco Gold card (Version 7.2 drivers), Siemens router with an Airport Base Station hooked into it, and DSL. My card sees my wireless network, but I can't get it to connect to the internet for the life of me. My iMac, QuickSilver, and iBook 500 connect just fine through my wireless network.

Re: ship 3400 with battery in?
kaldav, I shipped PB's both ways, and have received them with everything installed, but my comfort level was best with filler in the battery port and everything elese wrapped seperately, I shipped everything in the same box. Roger kaldav wrote: Hello, I want to ship a powerbook 3400 from Australia to the US. Should I leave the battery inside it to ship, or send it separately? Inside it's heavier and there is a possibility the computer could start up, but shipped separately that right side of the powerbook doesn't have support for the wrist plate plastics if there is stress on it.

Re: D-Link 810+ with Airport Base Station
Esver Camacho wrote: I just received a D-Link 810+ ethernet wireless adapter. I want to allow a PowerBook G3 (Lombard) that only has an ethernet connector to connect to my wireless network and surf the web. Unfortunately, the only way this device allows my computer to surf the web is if I turn off Access Control on the base station (allowing anyone to connect to my airport network) and if I disable WEP. If any device is listed under Access Control then the D-link doesn't surf. Even if the device listed is the D-link. Does anyone have any experience in this area? Not yet, but we're getting a couple of them into the office in the near future. I'll poke around at them and see.

I am considering buying the following drive from Googlegear.com because of positive reports on it that I have seen here. I am just making sure this is close to the one reported, if not the same.

3400c PC-Card Eject/SuperDisk USB
I installed a Belkin Busport Mobile (m/n:F5U022) PCMCIA USB adapter in my 3400c, upper card slot. It showed up as an icon on the desktop but my Imation SuperDisk USB drive does not show up when I attach it and insert a floppy disk. I used the Eject command to remove the PC Card. The icon disappeared but the card remained in place. I have rebooted several times and the adapter icon still does not appear on the desktop as when I first installed it. How do I get the card out of the slot without damaging anything? Has anyone had success with the Imation SuperDisk USB drive connecting to a 3400? BTW: The SuperDisk drive works fine withe floppies on my Beige G3 (never tried a SuperDisk since I don't own one. Thanks! Eric -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

dead 3500 mobo
I recently bought a 3500 parts machine. While it was clearly sold as dead, I just _have_ to try and bring it back to life. I just cant help myself from trying. Here are the symptoms: When I power it on, the area around the power board makes a very slight humming/hissing sound. No bong. At first, I thought it was obviously the power board. I swapped a known good 3400 power board in, and no change. I then tried the 3500 power board in a 3400, and it booted just fine. So we can cross off the power board as the problem. I resoldered the AC jack; another common problem. Still no go, and to check, I metered the pads with the AC in, and it was getting the juice. I blew out the ports in case there was a short. Still no go. I removed the comm board (I have seen dead comm boards prevent a boot), still no change. I noticed that when I use the reset button, the 3 LED lights on my keyboard flash. Could this be a sign of a dead ADB chip, which if I recall correctly, has something to do with the startup ? Or, could it be a dead capacitor making the sound near the power board ? This is _really_ similar to a GLOD 2400 in the sound and symptoms it makes. thanks, Mad Dog -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 1400 a Sonnet G3 400Mhz Upgrade
Hi Jonathan, If you upgrade the drive on your 1400 to something larger than four gigabytes, do not connect the 1400 to your G4 in SCSI Disk Mode (aka HD Target Mode). Pre-G3 Powerbook models have a hardware ROM bug which can cause loss of data when using a drive larger than 4 GB in this mode., so stick with ethernet.

I have heard that a 1400 would see a huge speed benefit from such a HD upgrade, especially sided with a chip upgrade.

I have thought of turning this little thing into a storage for my MP3's that I can connect to my G4, either through SCSI (if possible) or ethernet.
