Re: what to do with a 5300cs
Shreve systems DOES have the 5300/190 power adapters for $10! However, that $18 shipping and handling charge they want to tack on to that makes this not a very good deal after all. Later.Howard Computer n. A pocket calculator with a glandular problem. Hello! I just got a 5300cs. It's power adapter broke, so I'm in the proccess of getting a new one. Is this a good idea or no? If I do get a power adapter, is there a lot of things i could do with the pb??? Or is it not worth the $10? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

PC Card SCSI Driver?
Hi, listers! I recently bought a Panasonic CD-RW Portable with a PCMCIA (PC) Card, that it can be set to 16-bit or CardBus. The card appears in the Desktop as a SCSI Card, but the CD-RW is not recognized. Do I need a driver? I googled it, but can find only Windoze Drivers, no Mac in sight. Any suggestions? (I'm using the burner with a mini-SCSI to PowerBook cable. Anyone knows where I can get 2 or 3 more of this cables?) Best regards.

Re: Experience using memory module/adapter in PCMCIA slots
There is a limit as you say, the general recommendation is not to run VM on flash disks and only use them for software and booting. I would use a small and cheap card for VM with an older system as 8MB carads are peanuts now.

Re: Experience using memory module/adapter in PCMCIA slots
There's a device for the Apple II computers that uses a CompactFlash for a hard drive, and this issue was very much in discussion. After all, what good would be it be if it failed after just being used a minimum number of times? Based on SanDisk info, a CF can be written to 1,028,000,000 times before it's totally unusable. The information about this is at: http://spudboy.dreher.net/CFforAppleII Go down to the CFFA Forum link, go to CompactFlash for Apple II and the General Discussion category.

Re:
I have an HP 1012 which I bought a few months back to replace the HP4ML that I had had for 12 years (it required a repair that would have cost $250). Warning: I had been using the back side of sheets to print and eventually got toner fused to some roller--the moral of that story is It does not pay to do that because it ruins your printer. I like this new HP 1012 printer very much. It's very quiet and very fast in comparison to my old one. It cost me $149 on sale at Office Depot. However, I think the 2300 might be networkable, which this one is not, if you need networkable. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Re(2): PB1400 Questions
Done this with the Duo adapter to my 1400 when the 1400's AC went bad. The Duo's stock ac adapter doesn't put out enough power to charge the battery, but it will run the 1400. Word of warning though, if you leave in the 1400's battery when you use the Duo's adapter, you WILL kill the battery. Don't know why, just happenssomeone with more knowledge here help me out? Chris One more thing... I tried to test the voltage coming out of the Duo adaptor last night before I plugged it in and let it sit over night. I couldn't get a reading on the volt meter, with the Duo adaptor, but it tested a 5300 adaptor just to be sure the meter worked, and that was fine... So, I tried setting the meter to XK under the Ohm setting like I would to do a self test. I connected one pole to the center of the adaptor (o) (in this case, the o) and one to the center prong on the AC side. Nothing on the meter, so I tried the outer two prongs and still nothing. I tried again with the outside of the DC side (o) (the parenthesis, not the o in the ASCII representation), tried the prongs, and still nothing. Am I doing something wrong? The power adaptor works with a Duo 230, but that only leads me to believe that the adaptor could be putting out a bare minimum and thus having little to no effect on the 1400 Possible?

Actually if you look in the archives, many people say the battery life goes way UP with the G3 upgrade- so the power drain would thus be LESS once upgraded. so your situation might be a little better, but still hard to risk your battery. The good thing, since they are NiMH and not lithium, it's not that hard to refurb your own battery (not that it's CHEAP to do so, but it isn't hard).
