1400/9.1/appletalk won't start

[Brian McEwen]

Hi all;

I've had this problem once before, but I can't remember nor search  
the fix this time.


I have a 1400/G3/9.1 with a working Orinoco gold 802.11b card or a  
3COM ethernet card for connectivity.


For whatever reason, the appletalk is not loading, I can't even get  
it active enough to try a serverIP connect.


Opening appletalk cdev and picking the wireless card give an error,  
"an error occurred using Orinoco, please check your network settings  
are correct".


Someone here posted last time the name of a hidden (invisible) file  
to delete that I think cleared this; either that, or I did another  
clean install of OS9 and copied all my system stuff back over.I  
hope the former!!


I've trashed all the regular prefs but it hasn't helped.

Thanks for help;

Brian

Hi,


The battery has 6.7 Volt and the manual i downloaded from apple  
says 14, so, the battery is death. What is the funcion of the  
BATTERY RECONDITION software my powerbook has?


It charges/discharges batteries to deal with memory effects. However,  
you battery has dead cells, and this won't work.


How can i connect by ethernet (The powerbook has and expansion  
ethernet card) my powerbook 1400 and my Pentium III XP direct by  
net cable without a hub?, i read that if i run linux i can use  
SAMBA, so, MAC 8.5.1 (Or 9.1) to XP?


No. For OS 8 or 9 you'll need DAVE from Thursby Systems to connect to  
a PC  on the Mac or PC MacLan tinyurl.com/8afg4> on the PC.


If you have a linux system to serve as an intermediate, (though  
you'll need a hub or switch) you can have a common share point on the  
system, simply use netatalk  for  
the Mac share and Samba for the PC one. We do that here for one  
shared volume on our network.


I have not test the ethernet card yet, how can i do it without  
connection?


You really can't. If you plug it in and it's shows as a chooseable  
ethernet connection in the TCP/IP settings, there's not much more you  
can do to test it except connect it to a network.


How can i uninstall a program? (remember, I am a WINTEL user, until  
now :-))


Drag the program or it's folder to the trash...VASTLY easier than  
Wintel.


On my old compaq contura 386 laptop and my toshiba satellite 2100  
CDS, if i put on starting the F10 key i will run SETUP to configure  
and set the BIOS, i bought an ibook powerbook 10 gb hard drive on  
eBay and i need to know how configure it before installing or the  
powerbook 1400 do it by itself?


No, it should just plug-n-play. There is no BIOS as such on Macs.

I also bought a Compact Flash 56K PC Card Modem Kingston  
Technology, i will wait until i receive to ask for help.


Compact flash or PC Card? May not work; the 1400 has PCMCIA slots,  
not a PC Card slot, IIRC. That said there are lots of PCMCIA modems  
around. If it does fit, then generic Hayes Modem settings and it  
should work.

I should get something like that. My scsi scanner is on my G3 so when I 
scan I have to email the .tif to myself. By times I can connect to my 
pcs with OS X but that is spotty.

Well, maybe; maybe not. The only external cd drive the Powerbook 1400 could 
use would have to be SCSI, but not an internal laptop cd drive.

Also, there are external (non-portable and slow, however) SCSI cd-rw drives. 
There are also some external portable ones, but most of them are either USB or 
firewire, something the 1400 cannot do.

The cd-rom on the Powerbook 1400 came in 6x, 8x, and a 12x speed variations. 
The 12x is the only one where the cd-rom can be removed and replaced with a 
faster cd-rom; there is a webcite that explains how to put a 20x laptop cd-rom 
drive in the 12x Powerbook 1400's cd-rom carrier.

I have no experience personally with this operation, but I know a guy in my 
local Apple User Group that once tried to put a slot-loading dvd+-RW drive in a 
1400 using the method above. I think he had limited success, but I am sure it 
was limited by the 1400's speed and RAM limitations (compared to modern 
machines) and the drive would not be able to use the DVD (other than a ROM 
drive) 
anyway.

>F: A 56K modem should work in the PC card slot without any special

I can attest that the Global Village and 3Com modems and ethernet cards I use 
in my 1400 and 5300 both require software.

Hi there
I have a lombard 333mhz and it seems now that every time i want to use 
the machine, i have to press the reset switch round the back first, 
before pressing the power button. Otherwise it will just sit there 
with a black screen.
Someone suggested it might be the pram battery, while another said it 
was a common problem with Lombards running 10.3. Does anyone else had 
trouble turning on their Lombard laptop?


That sounds like a bad L2 cache. If you'll check the G-books list, I've 
got a thread on there asking if there are any issues with the Lombards, 
because I've got one coming in. I remember reading about this one, and 
I'm enclosing that message.
