The slot in the 3400 is not physically compatible with Mini-PCI cards. The slot may be electrically compatible (same electrical signals, etc), however, so if you are good with soldering, you might be able to come up with some sort of adapter connection for standard Mini-PCI cards. As for drivers, there aren't ANY for Mac OS. However, there are plenty of Linux drivers for Prism based Mini-PCI cards. You could conceivably run Linux on your 3400c, compile a copy of the driver for PowerPC, and install some sort of hacked card in your PowerBook to get Wi-Fi. But that's quite a hack, and probably not worth your time unless you are a Mad Hacker kind of person. Peace, Drew vick's Lombard -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Where to get PowerBook 1400 CD-ROM Module and PCMCIA SCSI card?
Andrew McCall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wanted to know about SCSI PC card adapters for a PB1400.

Re: PB 540c
Mattox, Thoma [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: What is the largest hard drive that I can use in this? I have a 1GB hard drive that uses the IDE to SCSI adapter. I would like to go larger, but not sure how large I can go... Also, what are the specs on what hard drive I need to look for? I know IDE, but anything else I need to look for? With your 1GB drive you can go up to ~8GB, the size limited by the ADTX adapter's controller. You can use any size drive, but larger drives will format only to that ~8GB limit. Using another adapter you may be able to go larger, the pair of Century adapters I've got have a 32GB limit. I've got 30GB travelstars attached to mine inside PPC/167-powered 540Cs, and they work dandy.

This means I cannot use a desktop (which might have made things easier). So far, I have avoided the option of getting a proper surveillance apparatus. Is there any other Mac-ready option (HW or SW or both) that might be useful? Doesn't matter the source (serial or USB), if using QuickTime as the underlying transport you cannot have more than one video input at a time per Mac. Your's is an interesting problem and I'm curious to see how you solve it. My thinking, given the one-camera-per-Mac limit, is to use multiple inexpensive PBs to do the capturing. IIRC, Digital Radar can run on any 68030 or better, so even a PB500 or 190 would do the trick. A PB500 has built-in ethernet _and_ video out, but uses (small) SCSI HDs and has no PCcard slots. The PB190 has PCcard slots and uses ATA drives but lacks video out and built-in enet . . . sigh. Another idea - I've been seeing stand-alone IP-based cams for around $100, eg: http://www.pimfg.com/product_detail.asp?master_desc=secondary_desc=part= IC-300 and w/audio: http://www.pimfg.com/product_detail.asp?master_desc=secondary_desc=part= IC-301 more money, more features?: http://www.pimfg.com/product_detail.asp?master_desc=secondary_desc=part= NC-1000S more more features, and wifi connected to boot: http://www.pimfg.com/product_detail.asp?master_desc=secondary_desc=part= NC-1000W Might something like one of these be an option? Interestingly, you can probably run a QuickCam on your 3400 while simultaneously accepting an IP video feed. Another (more costly) solution is conventional video surveillance hardware, with video cameras feeding either into a time-lapse VCR or into a Mac-based video digitizer. The key with these setups is using a multiplexer, which lumps several video feeds into one. I'm sure you've seen security screens where there are, for example, 4 individual pictures on one TV monitor. IIRC, a four-up multiplexer ain't cheap ($300?), but it may be possible to source something pre-owned. BTW, if theft is the problem you face, aren't you a tad concerned the thieves will make off with your carefully crafted surveillance setup? :-P dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Possible to use two Connectix QuickCams using one PowerBook?
Hello Ben (and Dan), Of course, I am still living in the cables and wires era. Yes, a wireless cam would require a wireless card for the 3400. I have a lot of testing to do. To describe the problem further: seemingly random break-ins, always at night, at my country home that trigger the internal-only motion detector. I am left with an increasingly damaged wooden doorway and wooden door. Lately, I am left with using 3 inch screws to re-attach the lock and clasp mechanism. What I am hoping for is that in this remote area, the SW mentioned will only activate the cam(s) when the next intrusion occurs. Then I will have some photo evidence and/or a car licence number, etc. If the police are helpless (as before), I might just splatter the thief's data all over the neighborhood as a 'repellant' (photocopies on utility poles, that sort of thing). The intrusions were limited before to late fall or late spring, but the latest occurred about two weeks ago. As before, any input is welcome. --- VidaVerde [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I missed the start of this one, so I might be completely off-target here, but are you aware of d-link's wireless little video camera that serves its image to a web-page that it generates?

Re: Possible to use two Connectix QuickCams using one PowerBook?
Hello Ben (and Dan), !snubbed! :) What I am hoping for is that in this remote area, the SW mentioned will only activate the cam(s) when the next intrusion occurs. Then I will have some photo evidence and/or a car licence number, etc. If the police are helpless (as before), I might just splatter The way both these softwares work, the camera is always on, and the software actually captures a picture when the image changes (the degree of change that prompts a picture is configurable). So you are going to be working with a singular Quicktime-based camera, no way around that, if you go with quickcams. The camera has to be providing an image for the motion detection, so it has to be on, so you only get one quickcam per computer. I set up the Digital Radar perhaps 1.5 months ago (thanks to the list for help with that); to get it to take pictures as I needed, the sensitivity is such that it takes photos with the light levels changing (as in, dusk getting dark, dark getting light, etc). Under 1 meg a day with 24hr monitoring. So even though they are small size images, they do add up over time, you would not want to leave one of these for too long without examination and pruning, especially on older powerbooks which are going to be limited in HD space. You can of course limit the hours to try and capture, but that's not a good idea, there's no reason for this to be happening at night from your description. In terms of neat A/C powered standalone cams, I'ved used Axis cameras a lot and they are very nice. They even have some that are 802.11b, do motion detection (via changes in the image) and will email you photos, etc. They had a bad rep. due to popups but www.x10.com has quite a variety of wireless cam ideas- $70 maybe for floodlights with a camera in them with IR motion sensing, that send video to a cheap receiver on a hidden VCR, that sort of thing, or small sensors around the outside that turn on cameras inside, many ways to do it. Given your situation this type of IR-based motion sensor linked stuff around might be useful. You can have sensors in one place that trigger cameras elsewhere, that sort of thing. the x10.com site has a handful of plug-n-go items. But those need A/C power. You indicated in one email that power could be off, but in the original IIRC you were going to have them send images remotely (which means coolcam, DigitalRadar won't do that) so the two conditions seem mutually exclusive :) (no internet or remote sending without power!) I'd suggest maybe $100 worth of stuff from x10.com saved wirelessly to a garage sale VCR that was well hidden, or if you do have internet available, an Axis cam that will email photos to you would be the best all-in-one solution. You could hide the wireless base station very well pretty easily, and they are down to $30 now. I've not checked the cheaper Axis cams but they have come down a whole lot in price for the higher end models that I was looking at. I think you're more likely to lose your gear if you are using powerbooks/quickcams, since you can't separate the two very well- it's hard to hide them. A floodlight over each door is pretty much going to remain untouched, and you can really hide a VCR if you try (one X10 wireless image receiver can talk to and record a handful of cams, and whichever cam gets triggered via IR most recently will be the one that is recorded. You can also hide voice-activated tape recorders (or CF recorders) around the place. I would not be surprised if X10 or Axis didn't make a cam that was motion-activated that would record to removeable media by now, but haven't seen one. That would be nice if it exists. HTH. Oh and a lot of cheap cameras, quickcams included, don't work well (no live image) near or below 32F, something to keep in mind as well.

Re: Possible to use two Connectix QuickCams using one PowerBook?
Hi Brian, Excellent advice. Thank you. Some quick points: I hope to avoid light exposure(s) triggering the cam(s) by using a light-sensor light bulb (so the amount of light stays fairly constant). One of the cams will be in this porch-like area where the front door is located. The other cam will ideally be in an adjacent tree, ready to snap the license plate number. The night-time lighting in this area comes from a floodlight (also darkness activated). But more and more it looks like some fancy equipment is needed. But testing will tell. I could use the built-in modem on the 3400 to dial-in and use remote desktop SW (I think I have a copy of that SW, somewhere) to check up George --- Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote partially: I set up the Digital Radar perhaps 1.5 months ago (thanks to the list for help with that); to get it to take pictures as I needed, the sensitivity is such that it takes photos with the light levels changing (as in, dusk getting dark, dark getting light, etc).
