Alright... Tried that.  The OS (8.6) is definitely frozen.  No force quit

In no particular order:

Re-install the OS
Re-install the card drivers
re-order the card extension(s) (put it/them to the top of the list or 
the bottom)
Use the minimum set of extensions that will boot and allow use of the card.


maybe I should just give up and get a 3400... :)


Better yet a Kanga.  You can use Airport software with Orinoco Gold 
and Silver cards.

3400c Button

[Dan Palka]

Well so I broke my trackpad button on my 3400c and need to buy a new 
one.  I know its probably unlikely i'll find anyone that just sells the 
button, but rather the whole trackpad and palmrest.

Sun and PowerBook Guy want too much though, I think.  Are there any 
other parts resellers where I can get one?

Re: Whats the best System for a PowerBook 145b?

[Donn Haven Lathrop]

>>It has System 7.1 on it already, but will System
7.5.3/.5 run good on it? 8MB RAM, 80MB hard drive<<

Simply, no.  Maybe, 7.5.3.  Howsomever, 7.5.5 on my IIci--standard
extension set takes up 4 MB RAM, 7.5.3 on my PB 190, standard extension
set takes up 5 MB RAM.  7.1.3 on my PB 145b, standard extension set
except for Sticky Click, uses 1.4 MB.

My PB 145b has max RAM--14 MB--and a 320 MB HD.  It's still bog-slow. 
I've had it online and it's sort of OK for e-mail, but really slow (even
with a Best Data 56K modem online at 50666) doing anything with a
browser.  NN 2.2 is about the best you can hope for.  NN 3 has a
horrible memory leak--needs about 24 MB assigned to it.  NN 3.04 Gold is
a little better, but with the 1 bit screen graphics on Web pages are
pretty bad.

RamDoubler definitely helps with everything if you only have 8 MB of
RAM, but you really wonder if it's worth it when you double-click on a
folder, and the wait-a-bit-watch appears as the folder opens.

Re: Whats the best System for a PowerBook 145b?

[Robert Eye]

I ordered a PowerBook 145b off of eBay a few days ago, I did'nt get it
yet, but I'm thinking already.  The specs on the machine are: 25Mhz
68030, 8MB RAM, 80MB hard drive, 1.44MB SuperDrive, and the 1 bit
passive matrix screen.  It has System 7.1 on it already, but will System
7.5.3/.5 run good on it?  I want to have the maximum amount of
compatibility without taking a huge dump on the speed factor.  Would an
application like RAM Doubler help in this situation?  What about RAM
Charger?  Thanks.
IIRC, a 68030 will run everything up to 7.6.1. I ran 7.1 on my IIci 
for a while, but went to and settled on 7.6.1, but I had 28MB RAM and 
a 230MB HD. 7.6.1 might be a little much on an 8MB Mac. Not sure how 
much of a lift you'll get past 7.1 - it ran pretty well on older 0x0 
Macs. I don't think 7.5.x will take up much more RAM, although 
running OT instead of MacTCP will take more RAM. Since 7.5.3/.5 are 
free from Apple for the downloading, it should be pretty easy to try 
it out and then go back to 7.1 (just keep the 7.1 System Folder 
around by doing a Clean Install).

You can also add items to 7.1 to make it more like 7.5; see here

http://macfaq.org/software/macos.shtml

and scroll to the bottom for more info. You can also add the 
following 3rd party apps to improve 7.1's capability:

BeHierarchic
extensions manager
pasteitnotes (like Stickies)
Scrollability
superclock
windowshade
RAM Charger seemed to actually help more than RAM Doubler on the Macs 
I've used it on, but YMMV. RAM Charger lets you allocate less RAM 
initially and then the application can take more if needed (and if 
it's available). RAM Doubler uses a type of VM with your HD to get 
the extra "RAM" - with the corresponding hit in speed. You can use 
them together - they are not mutually exclusive. Real RAM is always 
better, but I don't know if the 145b can take more than 8MB.

Well i would say no.  Besides 7.1 can do a fair amount of stuff anyway

some games

Re: Palm and PB 1400

[Donna Hood Pointer]

Can you print? Do you know your serial port is OK?
You have to make sure nothing else is using the serial port, for 
instance AppleTalk, fax settings. AND if you get the Palm hotsync 
working make sure to turn off the setting which makes it monitor the 
port, which says something like turn hotsync on at startup. otherwise 
you won't be able to print after hot-syncing. There is only one port on 
the PB's and it is used for modem/printer. Sometimes the connections on 
the cradle go bad. Try holding the Palm in the cradle very firmly. 
Sometimes your computer is too slow to do the sync. David Pogue's book 
on the Palm is excellent for troubleshooting hot-syncing. And for loads 
of info on the Palms. What you do for your very first hot sync is 
different from subsequent ones. Sometimes you have to do what is called 
a "slow sync". I have a iiixe. I used to successfully sync it with my 
PB190, which I don't have any more.

Does anyone else recall that?

You might try AIMM -- http://aimm.emuscene.com/

Not sure if that's PPC only or not; fraid I'm still waiting on my AUII connector for 
my 520.

You might also try some Java implementations.  I found three on sourceforge.net:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaimlib/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/joustim/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bim-im/ (looked interesting, but appears to need Java 
1.3)

Unfortunately you're only going to be able to run ones targetting Java 1.1.x, which 
means you might be out of luck.  If you don't get any to work, though, bug me at this 
email; I might be able to tease something workable out of one of those projects.

Okay, quick update, I checked out bim-im, which looked nice on OS X.  I'll see what it 
needs to go 1.1.  Let me know if AIMM works, though!

Re: Farallon SkyLINE Wireless PC Card and 1400 RESOLVED!

[Daniel Garcia-Rivera]

Well, It works.  Here's how I did it:

Following jerry's instructions, I deleted and reinstalled the software for
the card, rebooted, and crossed my fingers...
I plugged it in, and...
...it froze...
and I was pissed!  I had become sick of the entire issue, so I (slightly
violently) removed the PC card by the block antenna...
...and it thawed...
My computer started responding again, so I decided to see if it would stop
when I reinserted the card.  It didn't.  I reconfigured the TCP settings,
and fired up the World's Worst Web browser: IE 4.
Success!

So, in summary, I now have a slightly flaky wireless card hooked up to a
slightly flaky laptop.
Thanks to everyone for their help.

Re: Powerbooks as webservers?

[Andrew Kershaw]

On the contrary, I am aware of no real heat issues.

I ran a 5300cs for weeks at a time as a router (running personal web 
sharing as a VERY light webserver) with no problems besides what you 
would expect with a 5300... ;-)

It was painfully slow at webserving, but perfectly fast at routing!

A higher-end PowerBook ought to work admirably.  The Wallstreet can 
even run AppleShare IP (it's supported by Apple, even).  But anything 
PowerPC can do basic webserving like a champ.  You don't need a lot 
of horsepower unless you do a lot of PHP crunching or database 
intensive lookups (or intend to have lots of simultaneous 
transactions).

If you don't expect to ever have more than one or two visitors at a 
time, a PowerBook will work fine.  The hard drive is a significant 
bottleneck - access times are slow and throughput can be quite pokey.

There are no display issues - allow your display to turn itself off 
after a short period.  Heat issues aren't issues if you aren't 
irresponsible - don't close the lid, don't set the PowerBook on top 
of a deep shag carpet or thick blanket, etc.

Or do you guys think I'd be better off just buying a Beige G3?
Well, of course!  If you want to have serious muscle, go with a 
desktop with a fast disk and LOTS of RAM.

Peace,
Drew

Re: 3400c & Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws

[Dan Palka]

I never tried any of the cardbus cards with 7.6.1, and I'm pretty sure 
they wont work.

If you're 3400c is like your main or only machine then maybe you should 
stick with OS 9.  however if you really want to make it seem fast and 
you  have other machines to use instead of the 3400c I very much so 
enjoy system 7.6.1.

Its good for when i take the 3400c to starbucks or my college library 
or somewhere i feel another computer user may be interested in finding 
out what it is I'm using.  System 7.6.1 keeps it fast and impressive 
feeling (speed wise).

I have a (now antiquated) Farallon SkyLINE Wireless PC Card (PCMCIA, 2Mb/s)
that I am trying to get to work in my PowerBook 1400.  I installed the
proper software, and am having difficulties.  The card works fine in my

definitely NOT a cardbus card, so it should work fine.  But it doesn't.
Stats on 1400:
1400c/166/64meg RAM/8x CD
Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

Thanks

I have the same (or similar) Farallon card in a 1400/133MHz/56 MB RAM/ OS 8.6.

You didn't mention, but Sys 7.5.5 is minimum for the card.

I had problems because I put the card in before installing the
Farallon software.
The solution was to remove/trash ALL the Farallon related software
(*wireless* preference file also),
remove the wireless card, restart, then reinstall the Farallon software.
Restart the 1400, insert the wireless card ... Configure the Farallon
"Wireless" control panel for your situation, then ...Open AppleTalk
and press Š command k ...
In the configurations window, make a set named "wireless" and make it active,
in the AppleTalk window ;
Connect via : choose Alternate Ethernet,
make sure AppleTalk is active, then save changes !!
Open TCP/IP, press Š command k ... again make a set "wireless", make it active.
In the TCP/IP window ;
Connect via : choose Alternate Ethernet
Configure : using DHCP Server
the rest blank ... click Options (go Š edit menu Š user mode Š advanced Š OK),
click : Active Š OK
Save and close TCP/IP
*Alternate Ethernet seems specific to PB 190, 1400, and 5300 ...

Hopefully that gets it working.

To remove the wireless card while the 1400 is running, you must open
AppleTalk and change the Connect via : setting to something else , or
Command k and choose "Default" (will be modem/printer port if
original) then close the AppleTalk window ...
then drag the card's icon to the trash or try Command E ...
When you put the card back in, reinstate the AppleTalk "wireless"
configuration w/ Alternate Ethernet ...

Re: Powerbooks as webservers?

[Jacob Hunter]

Ok, thanks. I was specifically looking for PHP and mySQl hosting 
actually. So I need something a little more powerful. I like os X and 
the apache installation that so I'll probably stick with it. Looks like 
a beige it is!
I think there's the heat issue, display issue, plus the laptop HDs 
aren't made to run 24/7.


an SE/30 will do a bang-up job :)  perhaps with NetBSD on it but 
NetPresenz would be OK for light stuff, and I don't know of any 
security issues with it (as long as you limit cgi's)

Palm and PB 1400

[nhj]

Does anyone know how I can get a Palm iiie to work with my PB 1400 running
8.6 and Palm Desktop 2.6.3, connected through the modem printer port with a
serial cradle and serial adapter?
It acts like it's going to sync and checks identity and then the Palm tells
me it lost connection with the computer.

Thanks,
wayne

Alright... Tried that.  The OS (8.6) is definitely frozen.  No force quit
dialog, no nothing.  ... Any other suggestions?

maybe I should just give up and get a 3400... :)

A mix of 9.1 & 9.2?

[macnifico]

Hi!

I had a hard disk crash on my main desktop computer, where I had my 
archive of this list.
And now I have a question. I read a few weeks ago that someone had the 
Finder and the Open Transport pieces of 9.2.2 on a 1400 running 9.1.
Is this true, and if so, does it work well?

Best regards.

From: Andrew Kershaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: RealPlayer for 68k?
Does it still exist?  I know at one time RealPlayer did exist for
68k, but the Real website doesn't have any links to it (that I could
find, anyway).
Also, the only references to it I could find on the web seemed to say
that it required an FPU (so no hobbled 68LC040s).
Is there anyone out there running it on a 68LC040 with a tool like
Psued040 or SoftFPU?
I'd like to get it loaded up on my Duo 280c, so any advice or links
to downloads would be much appreciated!
Peace,
Drew

Hi Drew - While going through some old MacAddict discs, I found 
RealPlayer 5.0 for 68k and PPC. If you want I can get them to you via 
email, they are 620k and 1.5MB, respectively. It's on the June 98, Disc 
#22 if anyone else is looking...
Which brings me to why I'm searching these - older version of AIM,

Powerbooks as webservers?

[Jacob Hunter]

This should probably go to the G3 'books list but the query is equally 
valid here.
Basically I was thinking of setting up a simple web server (using some 
kind of old powerbook, possibly a low end wallstreet). But I'm not sure 
about running a laptop essentially 24/7 as they have heat issues...Does 
anyone have experience of running a powerbook all the time?

Or do you guys think I'd be better off just buying a Beige G3?

Thanks,

Jacob

One general purpose tool for checking frozen is to hit 
Command-Option-Escape to see if you can force quit.  If it the window 
comes up fully the OS hasn't been completely munged.  If it doesn't 
come up fully the OS is hosed (in RAM).  You might want to try it 
when things are working normally so you know what it looks like, just 
hit Cancel when the window comes up.

Re: Powerbook 500 Series Battery Charging

[lesher]

If the battery doesn't have a full charge it prabably won't boot. Are you
getting the charging icon (lightning bolt) in the menu bar and control
strip? Should also show % charge in the strip.
I have intermittent missing lightning bolts on a Wall Street.

It's plugged in. The Control Strip tells me it's plugged in [i.e. no time 
'til death shown] but the lightning bolts are often not there.

Unplug, control strip changes ASAP, (the battery is only good for 30 
minutes or so now...) and the red strip creeps down. Plug back in, it goes 
back up but still no lightning bolts. Then, sometimes they just appear.

Oh Well.

Re: Powerbook 500 Series Battery Charging

[Ric]

(how do you reset the power manager on a 500 series)?
Remove the battery and power adapter. Let it sit for 5 min.
Hold down Control, Command, Option, Power On buttons for 5-10 seconds.
That's it.
The other problem I am experiencing is loosing connection with the battery.
Try cleaning the terminals on the battery.
If the battery doesn't have a full charge it prabably won't boot. Are you
getting the charging icon (lightning bolt) in the menu bar and control
strip? Should also show % charge in the strip.
I recently had to switch adapters because the plug was so worn that
there was only an intermittant connection on the charge side. Ran the
book fine but no battery action unless I wiggled the plug.
