Re: Would this work on a 3400?

[KG]

If you want to install a Systerm Folder to boot off of, just get a
CF-to-PCMCIA adapter for that CompactFlash card and plug it directly into a
PCMCIA slot on the 3400. Format the CF card as a Mac volume and install the
system on it.

I doubt that there is any way you could get a 3400 to boot off a USB device,
or even install a system on one. I've tried a lot with my 3400, but never
that. Has anyone on here attempted it?

Well, I GUESS you could connect them via Appletalk, and have the empty HD in 
a 1400 w/ a OS CD running it...

DO you have a desktop w/a SCSI port? That would be the easiest way. Other 
than that, where in the USA are you?

Re: Transferring data from PB1400c 166

[Brian]

I just replaced the hard drive on my 1400c 166 with a 6 gig from 
another 1400. The new drive has OS 0S9.1 and I want to transfer 
programs and data off the old drive. Is there any way to connect 
both drives in the one laptop or a way of networking 2 1400 laptops 
together? The old drive has OS 8.5 on it.

Help! I need the data!

The easiest way, if you have a printer cable, is just to hook the 2 
printer ports together and turn on appletalk.  Turn on sharing on 
one, connect to it from the other, drag files around.  You can even 
move bootable system folders around that way.

It's not fast, but it always works (unless your appletalk extensions 
are corrupt) and you don't have to buy the special SCSI adapters to 
let you hook the 2 SCSI ports together (which can be dangerous if 
done improperly!)

HTH.  If you have 2 ethernet cards you can do the same thing (via 
appletalk, only over ethernet) and it's a lot faster.  But the 
printer cable works as well, is cheap, works out of thebox, and is 
reliable.

Fixable? Yes. But it may be more cost efficient to get another 166mhz 
laptop/motherboard from Ebay or the Swap List...

The ribbon HD cable connects the HD to the mobo on the left side of the HD. 
It is tucked in under the plastic border of the bay. When you pull the HD up, 
on the left you'll see the orange ribbon. Try to CAREFULLY work the ribbon 
downward, out from the plastic it is tucked into. After that, carefully remove the 
connector from the HDs pins.

While you're at it, you might as well go on a fool's errand(!) and check to 
see if the 117mhz unit's mobo can in fact handle a 166mhz processor. Some 
117/133mhz mobos were alledged to be able to...

Looking under the heatsink, in the RAM/processor bay, look at the two chips 
on the mobo between the processor connectors, and the RAM connectors. If the 
chips have "203 LOW" and "X204 HIGH" then it cannot handle a 166mhz 
processor.

But if the numbers above are in the 300's instead of the 200's, then you can 
use the 166mhz processor with the C's motherboard.

Re: Best of two PB1400s

[Andrew Noakes]

Ha! PRAM reset was what I wasn't doing. If I do Command-Option-P-R 
after swapping screens I can now get the 1400c base (known to be 
good) working with the 1400cs screen (previously believed dead). I'm 
using it now - and just for the record, for my money the Active 
Matrix 1400c screen is much better, with more consistent colours and 
faster response (less ghosting) than the 1400cs Passive Matrix screen.

I've refitted the 1400c screen (known to work) to the 1400cs base 
(still with me?) and done a PRAM reset, but as before I get just a 
faint image with no backlight. In fact, the backlight appears to 
light in the top right corner during startup, then goes out. No 
amount of brightness, contrast or monitor control panel setting 
changes make it any better.

As both LCDs work with the 1400c, that suggests the problem with my 
dead 1400cs is not the screen but somewhere on the motherboard. 
Anyone know if this is fixable?

If not I'll swap the memory board and (bigger) hard drive to the 
working 1400c. I tried to remove the hard drive earlier, but after 
taking out the two obvious screws it still doesn't want to come out. 
Is there anything else I need to undo first?

Thanks for all your very helpful suggestions thus far, and in advance 
for any further pearls of wisdom!

Okay, I took logic at one time in my 7+ years(!) of undergrad...

All of the above tells me, barring some control adjustments/PRAM resets, that 
something is likely wrong with the cs's mobo..

Joining this discussion late, but if you decide to switch the internals, 
remember that the 117's mobo is different from the 166's mobo. The 1400c's mobo 
cannot use the 166mhz processor.

Anyway, I just finished switching out a 1400c and a cs's mobo & screen. My 
1400c/400 had a 166mhz mobo, and I needed it to use with a 166mhz processor for 
a 1400cs/166 I built for a relative. So I gutted my 1400c/400 and removed the 
screen, installed all of it on a spare 117/133 mobo, then built a 1400cs/166 
on the removed 166 mobo. (If you can follow all of that...)

Did you try zapping the PRAM or setting the monitor settings? When I swtiched 
the c screen (& guts) on the old 1400cs mobo I had, I did notice that the 
colors were set to 256; perhaps adjusting the settings will help?

Re: Will PB 150 top plastics work on PB 170?

[Beniamino Cenci Goga]

The differences for the 100 series plastic, except the 100, which is 
a whole different thing are:

the back of the book: the 150 has way less ports, but you can manage 
to cut the plastic.

the screen has various size (from (8" to 10"), so the frame must be 
choosen accordingly.

The 150 bottom plastic is slightly different because it has to 
accommodate an IDE HD and a whole different logic board, but it can 
be managed easisly to fit a 170 in it.

Will PB 150 top plastics work on PB 170?

[Jack Countryman]

I've got a PB 170 here that has been dropped a few times, and so has breaks
in the plastic around the keyboard, bottom of screen hinges, etc.  I also
have a PB 150 here that seemingly has a dead board...no chime, nada.  So,
can I make a 'frankenbook' by putting the 150 screen and top case half onto
the 170 bottom case half/motherboard, etc.?

Re: Best of two PB1400s

[Richard Adams]

From my one try at breaking one down, I'd say it's pretty easy to swap the 
screens. Just be careful with the two plugs that go into the sockets on the 
motherboard. There's not much room to get your fingers down there to push 
'em in, and on the one I tried it on, they're pretty brittle and easy to 
break.

Re: Best of two PB1400s

[Tom and Lisa P]

I fitted the 1400c screen to the 1400cs, but on start-up the screen 
is dark as though the backlight isn't working. Refitting that same 
screen to the 1400c, it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong?
Make sure you have the cable heads planted correctly in the sockets. 
The screens are 100% interchangable, so it shouldnt be a screen 
problem.

It could be that the original screen was fine, but the motherboard 
had the problem.

Re: Best of two PB1400s

[Tom and Lisa P]

I've pulled the dead screen from the 1400cs, with the intention of 
swapping it for the working 1400c screen.

Just out of interest I opened up the case of that dead screen and 
I've found that there's a tiny reed switch under the LCD panel 
(behind the edge of the case, just about where the Apple logo is) 
and it's broken - literally snapped in two. Can anyone tell me what 
this reed switch does and whether this could be what's stopping the 
display from working? When the machine starts up the display gives a 
little flicker but then stays dark.
That might be the sleep sensor.  When triggered, it should put the 
computer to sleep.

Re: Best of two PB1400s

[nathan]

 Having torn apart my fair share of 1400's the screen swap would be quick
and easy.. Just pop the end caps off each side of the screen. Remove the
screws. Pop the keyboard, carefully **Very Carefully** rock the screen
connection and transplant it over... Simple as that...

Re: Best of two PB1400s

I have a working PB1400c/117 and a PB1400cs/166 with a dead screen. 
Would it be easier to swap the working screen onto the 166 machine, 
or install the 166 internals into the 1400c? Or is neither really 
worth the aggro?

All views gratefully received!
Swapping the screen is much less work.

Best of two PB1400s

[Andrew Noakes]

I have a working PB1400c/117 and a PB1400cs/166 with a dead screen. 
Would it be easier to swap the working screen onto the 166 machine, or 
install the 166 internals into the 1400c? Or is neither really worth 
the aggro?

All views gratefully received!

I would still be intrested in the 3400c.. What would you want for it? Or is
there anything you need for your G3 I could offer as well as a partial trade
or what have you?

Thanks,
Nathan

Vimage Vpower drivers? (was Powerbook 1400 shows G3 33 Mhz in system profiler)

[Andrew in Ann Arbor]

Well it appears that there are no extensions or control panels for the 
G3 processor.
I had a look at the CPU and it was marked "IBM PPC750-EBOL233" so it 
looks like there is a G3 inside.
Two other chips on the CPU card are labeled:

"Vpower PB 1400 G3 233 Vimage Corp."
and
"Vpower PB 1400 G3 M-46209"
So it looks like I need the drivers for the upgrade.
A little poking around on the web turned up this site:

which has Vpower drivers with the following caution:
"I haven't a clue as to if these are the drivers one would need with the 
Vimage Vpower PB upgrade cards. I don't have a Vimage chip and have no 
way to test them. However, I did get them from a site that claimed that 
they'll work with "any of the G3 chips" - whatever good that's worth. If 
someone could verify this and email me at the address on the contact 
page, I'd really appreciate it."

The drivers are in an archive:
" Contents of Vpower_Drivers.sit
Vpower Control (control panel)
vBOOSTER 64-54ver110 (extension)
vBOOSTER 6454ver121 (extension)
Vpower PF G3 Extension 1.1.0 (extension)
VpowerInfo (looks like an application)"
Does anyone else have one of these Vpower upgrades?
Do these look like the correct drivers?
Thanks
