File Conversion Question
This isn't a power book question per se, but since I am trying to do it on a 3400c, I thought someone here might have an answer. Simply put, I need to convince Quicktime that a QIF file is not a Quicktime file, but is a Quicken file. Is this a job for Resedit? Or is there something simpler?

Find a file of the proper type, open it using ResEdit, do a GetInfo from the ResEdit menu, not the Type and Creator codes. Then do the same to the problem file. Make the problem file the same as the good file. Ken -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I like to use FileBuddy. But regardless of the bogus creator field, you should be able to just open the file from within Quicken. - Dan. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I was given a Mac Power Book 145B. It has System 7.1 and Microsoft. I need some guidence on how to get files from my PC to the floppy drive on the Mac. I have some stuff I have dowloaded but I am having a hard time understanding it. I think the earliest OS that can read PC floppies is 7.5 or OS 7.6.1. I know OS8+ can. I could read PC floppies with an Apple-supplied utility in OS 6. PC Exchange was introduced with the advent of OS 7.0. As the PowerBook 145 shipped with OS 7.0.1 (and we still don't know which OS the OP's (David's) 145b actually runs, it could be as far up as 7.6.1), this may be somewhat OT, but I remember using the Dayna DOS Mounter CP/CDEV way back then, probably in OS 6, too. It was a utility that originally came with the DaynaFile which was a SCSI-connected external drive for PC disks IIRC, manufactured in various 3.5 and 5.25 and combined configurations allowing the Mac to read DOS disks instead of spitting them out automatically (remember MacPuke?), but could be purchased separately for 89.95 US$. Some basic information can be found at http://users.eastlink.ca/~pspencer/mac/dayna/dayna.html; file exchange between Macs PCs is treated in many places, one I found is http://www.upenn.edu/computing/printout/archive/v08/5/exchange.html. I should be able to dig out my early version of the DOS Mounter if need be, and Dayna Communications have been out of business for more than ten years now AFAIK, so please... Note that there was a better (so they say) software called AccessPC and that DOS Mounter was developed further, so get informed and make your choice: http://www.tidbits.com/tb-issues/TidBITS-059.html and http://www.biotech.ufl.edu/EM/data/zipmac.html.

Non-Working PB 540c Display
Hi all, I've just bought the back panel for a PowerBook 540c. The hinges no longer attached to the back of the old plastic panel. After swapping out the LCD and the two circuit boards and placing them in the new back panel, the LCD stays dark. The backlight comes on, but the display stays blank. All the ribbon cables are in tightly, I can't imagine what could have gone wrong; the display worked perfectly before. Ironically, I also replaced the back panel of a PowerBook 170 and the display works perfectly. Also ironic, the 170's display was so full of grime and dirt that I figured if anything, that display would have been the one to fail. I did clean both LCDs with a Read Right CRT cleaning pad. The displays were both cleaned to the metal frame, maybe this did the 540c's display in? Thanks for any input, -Shaun -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
