Re: Orinoco Driver Loop
Hello, i had the same problem. A manually installation solved all problems. Well, Listers, I should have researched the archives for my answer! I know that Ken Vann's macwireless site http://home.earthlink.net/~macwireless has been mentioned often here. Turns out that my loop problem is addressed in his FAQ's. The first suggestion there is to install the files manually. I will try that and report.

Pismo...upside down logo

Re: Orinoco Driver Loop

I attempted to install a driver I downloaded from the Orinoco site (version 7.2) which is designed to work with OS 8.6 which I'm using on the 'Book. (This 'Book has been upgraded to a 233MHz G3, has the small HD and has 64MB of built-in memory.) When I attempt to run the installation I enter an eternal loop: Clicking Install leads to the License Agreement - clicking Agree leads to Install - clicking Install leads to the License Agreement - clicking Agree leads to Install - clicking Install leads to the License Agreement - clicking Agree leads to Install - clicking Install leads to...well, you get the picture. I've e-mailed Orinoco Support about this but have had no response except to say that I will get a response! I did track down an earlier version of the driver and am using it but would like the features of v7.2. Anybody else ever confront this problem? Thanks for all past, present and future expertise! -Bill I have documented a problems similar to this on my wireless FAQ site. See question 5. Try the solutions listed. Download same version of the installer from a different location. Additional locations listed on my web site. This problem is only with the early PowerBooks which use card and socket services v2.

Re: PB 1400 Screen-Swap
Just for clarification. I swapped the whole screen assembly on the 1400, not just the LCD which cannot be swapped without the correct active-matrix cable from what I understand. It's a lot easier to swap the whole assembly anyway. It helps to take the CPU out first so the monitor can be plugged into the 2 connectors on the board of the 1400 which can be a little tight to get to of you have big clumsy fingers like mine. Never did a swap on a 520 with a 520c screen so I can't say if it will work. The 520 to 520c conversion probably has more to swap since it's a black and white video to color video.

Re: Pismo...upside down logo

Junkyard 1400's
SNIP
My experience is somewhat similar, Ron. I got my first PowerBook 1400 for
$10 (including a carrying case and power supply), and it worked like a
champ. I then bought a supposedly non-working PB1400 for $6 to get the
bookcover (my original did not have it). Found out AFTER bending the pins
in the socket that the display cables plug into on the MOBO that it
actually did work (although the display was then punked out). Salvaged
pieces off that one to repair three more PB1400's that I got for $20,
$10, and $5, respectively. So, for $51, I have 4 working Powerbooks and a
partial parts machine. Can't complain too much about that.
Ciao,
Winfidel

Cool moniker Winfidel. And this is all very interesting.
But I am learning nothing about what parts combinations vis a vie Pismo (
remember the PB mentioned in the subject line?) that I should avoid. And
any trickiness to assembly..

Adrian
No help on that here, Adrian, sorry, my top machine is a 3400C (which I got
at a better price than the 1400 - a friend gave it to me because it wouldn't
power up. Turned out it had a bad power supply, nothing more). So I'm afraid
I don't know much about the Pismo.
Good luck with your FrankenPismo, Doctor. Didn't mean to 'semi-hijack' your
thread ;^{D
Re-titled subject line, accordingly.
Ciao,
Winfidel

Re: 1400 vs 2400 vs 3400 keyboards
I own a 1400and I LOVE the keyboard, it is actual standard size and the keys are great. I took two pictures. . . http://venvision.org/images/1400_key1.jpg http://venvision.org/images/1400_key2.jpg If you are considering a Power Book for keyboard I would go with the 1400, however the 2400 is smaller but with a lack of internal drives.

Re: Pismo...upside down logo

Re: 1400 vs 2400 vs 3400 keyboards
Dan, I write a lot of text as part of my work. The keyboard on the 1400 is fabulous, perhaps the best keyboard of any powerbook, ever, far better than the spongy one on this TiBook I'm using to write this message... I tried a 3400 and didn't like it. Don't know the 2400 from experience. Rick On 27-May-05, at 7:27 PM, Dan Palka wrote: I absolutely hate the 3400c's keyboard.
