OK... I have a bit of an oddity going on here... I have a Kanga, a #1 G3 Powerbook looking like the 3400. I know that it will only display 256 colors. I know that it will not support the PCMCIA cards. LAST NIGHT I installed 10.2 on there. the screen in thousands of colors, not 256. AND the PCMCIA card cage RECOGNIZED (according to MacOS X) there was a Lucent WaveLan card in there. a dumb thing then happened.. then I told the machine to update to 10.2.8 and stuff.. then the PCMCIA card failed to work. I attempting to re-install it now... I just wanted to know if anyone out there had a similar experience with these odd macs? -p -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

PCMCIA cage works fine on my 3400. Kanga is a newer model so I don't see what's peculiar here.

Re: XPostFacto
ok.. maybe I was not making myself clear.. with X, it was not supposed to show more than 256 colors, AND the card NEVER worked. in fact, when I upped my system to 10.2.8 it stopped seeing a card installed into the machine. Either my card has always been a bit shifty, and the second one also has been faulty OR something else was up not alloing the card cage on the kanga to be sen in MacOS X Basically my only experience with them Not working before is them not working before. then they did. it surprised me. SO.. has Kanga (according to XPF) always been able to do thousands of colors, even though it says only 256 works? and it has always been able to see PCMCIA cards in the Kanga? so why did I lose that ability to see the PCMCIA carrd when I upped it to 10.2.8 and worked again when I went down to 10.2 with no updates? AND should I bother to try thiswith 10.3 in thousands of colors or should I just let it float working at 10.2?

Re: XPostFacto
Didn't anyone get the OP's critical point, that the PowerBook in question is running OSX and many things on the Kanga don't usually work in X? dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Well, I found a copy of Stuffit5.5, which Allume says will run on 7.5.2. However, it's a .sit file, which the web says is yet another compressed format, so I still can't do anything. Also, apparently most mailers silently convert binaries to .hqx, which is a binhex format. If I can read that, I haven't found any way yet. I don't have any browser, much less IE, on the 190. I eventually found out that the previous owner had selected the double-click operation to silently start the recommended application. When I selected the ask useroption, it turns out that Acrobat Reader was the only system-recommended application for anything not recognized. I still don't know how to change the application association -- even if I had an application that would do the job :-(. John Perry -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: New 190cs troubles
Ge' wrote: Hi John, Screen reset: I'm not sure what happened there...! My 'tip' was just a shot in the dark. E.g., Command-Backspace to trash a file doesn't work on OS 7.6 or earlier. Well, even though I much prefer to know what's going on, I'm not going to quarrel with success! If you trashed something else, and hopefully didn't empty the Trash since, you can put it back by opening the Trash folder on the desktop, selecting the file(s) by clicking once, and choose Put Away from the File menu. I can't find anything in the trash but what I put there myself knowingly (school stuff from the previous owner). I don't recall having emptied the trash since I got the machine. If you trashed the correct file, it has already been re-created automatically: It's a small file that stores the screen settings when the computer is off. Because it was not there when you restarted, the OS created it anew, filling it with default values, and that is what set the screen brightness to an average level. I've scoured the hard drive, looked at every file, and the only ones I can't see (because they're system files that can't be opened), seem to have names that make good sense in other contexts. The only display related files are those regarding an external monitor, and the one telling how many colors to use. For the 7.5.3 update: I'm not sure if the update will work with files on your harddisk. At the very least, you'll have to change the filetype of the installer program to APPL, which can be done with many file utilities. I'll delve in my archive if you need one. So it's not enough to change the extension? If I need yet another conversion utility, keep in mind that it'll have to be in pure binary format, unless you can tell me what I can use to decode it.
