Orinoco Driver for 1400/OS8.1
Hi Phil. These are the current Orinoco driver links I have. Please note, the FTP Waveland site has been down for about 3 days. I have a email into Proxim support to find out if the site is down for good or not. Also I have links for version 4 4.1 of the same software, just with a OEM name in the installer, if you are unable to make it work with one of these links let me know.

Re: System 7.5.3
FWIW, I have a 165c 4Mb here running 7.5.3, VM on set at 12 Mb. Shows an OS footprint of 2,337K 6,395K remaining. Rick I'm also wondering about the best OS for one of these old 030 Powerbooks. I have a PB145 running 7.1, which I've been happy enough with; it seems to have many useful and pretty features (more um, convenient I guess, than System 6, which I've never installed on a PB), doesn't have a huge footprint, and allows me to contact the outside via email. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Pull the AC off, replace the cord, and it is good for another 25-35 seconds. Each retry is a little shorter. I get the same whether the (shot) battery is in or not. It looks like it runs fine other than this. Anybody know what might be doing that? Some sort of thermal breaker?? I have the totally dead one about half chopped apart, and if I know where to look I might be able to fix or work around the problem. More than likely it's a thermal shutdown circuit in a voltage regulator. The problem is this chip might be 90% of the circuitry and it may be an unusual chip that's hard to find. Oh and it might also be hard to remove. Try using a cooling spray on the circuit to see if it will keep the power supply working. If it does then carefully try applying spray to individual parts. You can get cooling spray at electronics shops or Radio Shack. Failing that, does anyone know which prongs in the machine end of the plug run the machine, and which charge the battery?? I may get desparate enough to whip together a run-only PS using the cord of the utterly dead one. It won't be pretty, but it'll work. And finally, is that confirmed 16 volts to run?

3400 Won't Boot. Help!
Hi, I had managed to get my power troubles worked out. I got a battery that would allow the PowerBook to boot without an A/C adapter and everything seemed fine. I got into class this morning and tried to boot the PowerBook but ended up getting minor drive noise and no boot. I used the reset button. Nothing. I get back home and plug it into an A/C outlet and it chimes almost immediately but I never get display and the HDD doesn't sound like it is being actively accessed. I look at Apples Tech arcives online and follow the instructions to keep the unit plugged into the A/C adapter and hold down the reset button for 10-20 seconds. I do that and it chimes but does the same thing: no boot. I tried holding down the reset button without a battery or power on and it has no effect. When it is sittig with the drive running doing nothing if I press Command-Option-Reset it simply chimes and continues to sit there with the drive spun up and not doing anything else. Can someone please advise me? Thanks Matt -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Problem with 520 Disk Drive
Hi there! I am the proud owner of a Powerbook 520, but I think the disk drive is shot. It will take a disk, but then tells me that it's not a readable disk, asks me to initialize it, and after, that kicks it back out saying that disk intitalization failed. Now, my question is, how difficult is it to replace a 520's floppy drive and where can I find a how to manual on how to perform this operation? Thanks.

Re: System 7.5.3
Are there any big advantages to 7.5.2 or 7.5.5 that justify dedicating more of my measly 8MB of RAM to the System? I'm waiting for delivery of a PB160, and had planned to install 7.1 on that as well. As I recall, I only upgraded to 7.1 from 7.0 because of connectivity issues. I'd like to know what the main distinguishing features of 7.5.x are. Tx. I think the only thing you would really benefit from is OpenTransport networking, which was introduced with 7.5.x. QuickDrawGX and AppleScript were also added, along with a better version of PC Exchange which supported Zip disks. System 7.1 would definitely be faster on a system with such a limited amount of RAM. If you do upgrade, stay away from 7.5.2 no matter what you do. System 7.5.2 is, roughly speaking, the worst OS in computing history, worse even than the first release of Windows 95. I think it was rushed out the door to support the PowerBook 5300, sort of like the 5300 itself. You can get 7.5.3 for free from Apple, and it is much, much better. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
