Re: Shutdown hang with 9.2.2 on PB3400
Ben: I had 9.1 running on the machine with the Airport drivers installed via TomeViewer before I went to 9.2.2. It was fine at that point and didn't hang when shutting down. I think (but I'm not sure because I don't have the machine booted up right now) that I have Time Server set to manual--I usually do. Usually zapping the PRAM will allow it to shut down properly the next time--if that provides any clues. Gary VidaVerde wrote: I have no cards in mine, and it's a completely clean install. But I have a pretty strong suspicion that it is network related - prime suspects are the network time server and os update features. Any thoughts? What are your suspects? Also, Have you tried copying bits of 9.2.2 and running them under 9.1? I've heard of people doing this with the finder and OT extensions, but not tried yet ( I have to use this machine for work as well as playing with it..)

Re: Sonnet G3 Orinoco 802.11b in 1400?
It is odd. I did a clean install of 8.5 which didn't have any trouble rebooting, and I fired up Civilization 1 just to test. Seemed to work, but starting Civilization 1 by double-clicking a save game brought on a hard lock, which it also did under 8.6. Go figure. (Fwiw, I also somehow have color now in Civ 1, which I haven't had in years, having lost the color data disc. It really is a twilight zone episode by now, though the unhappy Civ 1 locks up the computer, hard, when run on my 9.1 Sonnet G3/400. I asked about it a while back but no one replied; I never found a way to be able to run it. Brian -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Daggnabbit, modem card problems
I just bought a 56k PCMCIA card modem for my PB 1400. The card in question is Viking Components PC Card Modem, 56k. First of all, the software disk that came with it seems to be damaged. I was unable to retrieve data off it, depsite the fact that everything came sealed brand new in box. I assume that this is an old item that was just never sold, though, since it came with a brand new AOL 4.0 disk inside. In anyevent, I can't get this little guy to work. The problem seems to be that my computer doesn't seem to recognize its PCMCIA slots. It workwed when I had my GV powerport platinum pro card installed, but the port that i had selected was named powerport PC card. I'm running OS 9.1 Powerbook 1400c/166, 233 mHz Vimage processor installed 64 megs RAM, 15.10 gig HD Oh yes, there was one other thing: does anyone have a clue where i can get a copy of the Vimage drivers for that processer?

archos jukebox recorder v2 and powerbook 3400
Does anyone on the list run anything like this (ie any usb 1.1 external hard drive/mp3 player not an iPod?) I'm running a 3400 under 8.6, using a macally cardbus pcmcia usb. First time I plugged it in, it saw this just fine, mounted on the desktop, I copied files to it, no problem. Second time I plugged it in, the pb asked me if I wanted to initialize the disk because it was unreadable. Won't mount the volume. System profiler sees it and can correctly identify the device on the bus as an archos product. Does not mount in the finder. What to do? I'd been playing with an archos jukebox player 6000, and it was smooth as silk from the powerbook to the desktop iMac (BTW, the ajrv2 won't mount on the iMac either, didn't even mount on first try, gave me the do you want to initialize this? message first time out.) I tried zapping pram, rebuilding the desktop, checking the preferences folder, making sure the extensions were all okay...what I don't understand is why it would mount the first time out and then not again. The device is fine, it boots and plays the way it is supposed to, I just can't make it mount on any of the systems. Which is a bummer because I want to add my own music and upgrade the firmware, but I can't if I can't mount it. The manual says that under mac os 10, it is sometimes necessary to reformat the drive under a dos format. Now I am not running os 10, but I am wondering if this is what I should do. Says it will make the device unable to work under windows, but that's little concern to us. Thanks for your help! -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Anudder PB 1400 question
Would suggest so. I acquired a PowerBook 1400cs and an Ossietech Jack of Diamonds Trumpcard 28.8 card modem thanks to the kindness of a lister. Came with a floppy with software on it, and the website also had a downloadable version which was identical. You need the software as you have to get the modem card icon on the desktop and set it up to recognise the upper slot. Suggest www.newertech.com/. They do have a driver section on their home page.

archos jukebox recorder v2 and mac os 8.6 yay!
Okay, I have learned a lot today... for the posterity of the list, here goes: Does it work? YES! Well, I knew it did, because I got the device to load on my pb 3400 this morning, using a macally usb card under usb 1.1, and I copied files to it. Those files stared at me all day as I tried all kinds of nonsense trying to get any of the macs at home to mount the thing. So finally after posting unanswered help messages to every list that seemed relevant, I just started digging in my reference books and sniffing around in the apple support docs. The whole thing was about having the device formatted with a fat32 format, which pc exchange has been able to deal with since ver 2.1 under mac os 8.1. Well, according to the documentation, the device only works when it is formatted as a fat32, and so it presumably came formatted correctly because I was able to mount it and open it at least once, and I really couldn't imagine that connecting it to my pb just once caused some catastrophic file fragmentation. I know how to unmount media, and I'm very careful about it. So I pulled out the usb card, rebooted the pb, made sure everything came up and that all the right extensions were in place, then I rebooted it again. Re mounted the usb card, then remounted the device. One difference -- I did NOT connect the ac adapter. Actually, I just plain forgot. It took a minute (it's a 20G drive...) but it mounted right up as if nothing had happened. Now the manual says ALWAYS use the ac adapter when connected via usb, and I know that when copying gigs and gigs of data you can have heavy battery use, so I'm going to keep that in mind. But on closer inspection the manual also said the ajbrv2 would only work under 9.22. :P I was also able to get it to mount and trade files with the iMac, but of course that's gossip for another list. So anyways, if anyone is considering a fancy dancy usb 2.0 based drive device, have heart and trust good ol pc exchange with fat32 pc formatted media. H but I repeated this several times, and also got it to work on the iMac. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
