Re: Installing OS on 1400c
Good result today, a CF adapter I'd won on eBay turned up. I now have a 64MB card to use as VM for the 1400 Problem is, every time I try to use it the control panel suggests that there is not enough room. When I use 'Get Info' on the card it reports as having 62MB available What gives? ian, i too have had troubles using mem cards as VM. i'm using a SD 128mb card. it works ok until i let my 1400, 166 go to sleep. it has a hard time waking up. the issue you are having w/the card is that it's formatted. try lowering the VM to 60mb if it will let you. if not then you will have to find a larger CF card. c __ Yahoo! for Good Donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Hard drive makes whining noise
i've been able to get almost any drive i stuffed into my 1400 to work. Just make sure it fits. I had a heck of a time getting one of those newer low profile drives to connect to the internal cable. the only thing you might have to do is partition the drive into smaller partitions if it is a large drive. i think there is an 8 gig limit to the 1400. give it a shot. c --- John Perkins Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Would a Seagate Medalist Pro 2520 (ST52520A) work? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Powerbook 520c
List newbie's first questions: I just a picked up a working Powerbook 520c for my Kindergarten-aged son to mess around with -- it was less expensive than most toys at only $14. I'll probably spend a fair amount of time getting it up to speed. A few questions: Is 7.5.5 the best OS for this machine? Are there any ways to recondition batteries? The one it came with is dead and the ones that work on eBay are $80-$90. Will I be able to transfer files from an OS X machine to this if I can get an Ethernet adapter? I can't seem to find my old AAUI-10 base T adapter, might have tossed it. I'm in Grand Rapids, MI. Does anyone know a place where I may be able to pick up flea-market type RAM upgrades, parts, an extra power supply? Are the PCMCIA card adapters and Power PC cards pretty much non-existant? My wife was just commenting on how this machine still looks pretty good for being 12-13 years old.

Re: Is anyone interested in Fickle Kanga
How much would you want to sell for, Chuck? Chris Subject: Is anyone interested in Fickle Kanga About three years ago I bought a Kanga w/64 meg card = 96MB RAM. I used it for almost two years with no problems whatsoever. This past Fall I bought my dream 466MHz DVD Clamshell and put the Kanga in a drawer. It sat there until this past weekend when I decided to sell it to a cousin. I figured it would be a good idea to plug it in, charge the battery and remove personal info before she picked it up. It won't boot completely. Sometimes it chimes and does nothing else. Sometimes it boots but freezes when the desktop begins to show icons. Once it even made the same sound as a baseball going through a grandparents living room window - something they still remind me of. I never heard that sound in a computer before and thought the screen blew up. It didn't and seems to be the only sure working item on the laptop. I've tried everything ever mentioned on the list and can only say, I fought the Kanga and the Kanga won. I can't justify any more time spent with it and now only wish to part with it ASAP. I removed the 5 gig hard drive and it worked in a Wallstreet. I swapped out every part except the logic board and suspect it to be what suffered drawer death. If anyone is interested in buying the entire laptop then please email me off list. If nobody here is interested then I'll part out the known good components on eBay. Here's what will come in the laptop: 5 gig hd 64 mb ram good 1+ hour battery Here's what can be negotiated into the sale: Extra 1+ hour battery power supply g/v 56k v.90 pcmcia modem w/dongle Here's some basic info on the laptop: The case is in excellent condition with almost no signs of being handled. The screen is perfect. The keyboard had all keys removed with a thorough cleaning of entire unit. The laptop is clean as when new. It used to be a perfect working laptop. Maybe it's just mad at me for selling it to my cousin. Please feel free to ask all the questions which come to mind. Shipping will be from Seattle.

Re: Re(2): PB1400 Questions
Done this with the Duo adapter to my 1400 when the 1400's AC went bad. The Duo's stock ac adapter doesn't put out enough power to charge the battery, but it will run the 1400. Word of warning though, if you leave in the 1400's battery when you use the Duo's adapter, you WILL kill the battery. Don't know why, just happenssomeone with more knowledge here help me out? Chris One more thing... I tried to test the voltage coming out of the Duo adaptor last night before I plugged it in and let it sit over night. I couldn't get a reading on the volt meter, with the Duo adaptor, but it tested a 5300 adaptor just to be sure the meter worked, and that was fine... So, I tried setting the meter to XK under the Ohm setting like I would to do a self test. I connected one pole to the center of the adaptor (o) (in this case, the o) and one to the center prong on the AC side. Nothing on the meter, so I tried the outer two prongs and still nothing. I tried again with the outside of the DC side (o) (the parenthesis, not the o in the ASCII representation), tried the prongs, and still nothing. Am I doing something wrong? The power adaptor works with a Duo 230, but that only leads me to believe that the adaptor could be putting out a bare minimum and thus having little to no effect on the 1400 Possible?

Powerbook 1400 SD card

Re: Powerbook 1400 SD card

Re: Setting up a powerbook 5300ce for dsl?
Check your Appletalk setting (modem port, printer port or Ethernet if you use a Ethernet card) and restart. Chris I finally sat down last night to set my 5300 for use on my home network, only to realize that I don't know what I'm doing. This is a bit embarrassing, as I have set up hundreds of pc's for this same thing, and had no trouble at all doing so with my eMac, in both classic and ten. I found the tcp/ip control panel pretty easily, set it to dhcp server. the ip address doesn't display, although it says it's getting it from the dhcp server, in this case, the router? I set the router address. Still nothing. The little lights on my asante ethernet card are blinking, so i don't think thats the problem. I'm running 8.1. I have a copy of 8.5 and the updater for 8.6, but it's on cd and i need the ethernet connection to get it on the hard drive. I went from System 6 to Win 9X to OS X, and quite honestly, i feel a bit lost in 8.1. Much of this stuff I only vaguely recognise. Can't seem to find a version of stuffit that will run on 8.1. Gah!

520 dead?
Hello all... new subscriber here. I recently got back a Powerbook 520 that I had given away some years ago. It is in pretty bad shape, with the hinges broken and the screen completely off. I was looking to repair this machine, simply for the nostalgic value. My problem is this, when I press the power button, I get nothing. At first I thought that it was the batteries, but it also happens when the power cord is plugged in. Is there some type of motherboard battery or something that could be dead and causing this? Or is there some way to reset the machine? I have tried this with the screen attached and detached... and get nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Can you please Cc: me as I am on the digest version. Thanks so much, and I look forward to learning a lot about these classic portables.

wobbly G3's a/c adapter
I was gifted a 250 Mhz G3 Powerbook (Kanga?/Lombard?) which has an intermittent Power problem that I would like to solve. The power adapter's shielded bayonet style plug is wobbly when it's socketed and needs to be wedged at an angle to make a connect. It's a pain, unreliable and I don't look so cool goofing with this in front of women! I guess this problem is common, but how do I fix it?

Power Adapters
Greetings: My friend recently gave me a Powerbook 145B. Unfortunately, batteries and auto adapters are difficult to find and expensive. I read the specifications on my AC adapter, which said the output was 7.5V, 2.OA. What I'm wondering is if I could use a generic universal auto adapter with my Powerbook, and also where I could find batteries at a low cost. After all, a laptop that isn't portable may as well not be a laptop. Thanks in advance -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

V-memory question
I have a Powerbook 3400c (200mhz, 64mb ram, 3gig HDD) I recently installed a piece of software that requires me to turn of virtual memory when it's in use. (Reason 2.0, if you're wondering.) Reason works ok with 64, but I'm wondering if it's worth my time and effort to keep switching back and forth whenever I use my 'book for other stuff. Is VM (or RamDoubler, which I usually use) worth it? Or should I bite the bullet, buy a 128 chip and leave VM/RD behind me? --Chris (DJ doktorboring) http://www.mp3.com/c6h6 http://listen.to/vektor7 AIM: doktor242 Yahoo/MSN: doktorboring I'm so bored of cowards who say they want love but then can't handle it --Björk: Five Years -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: ethernet card summary
I have this card I am trying to get to work on a Powerbook 1400 running 8.6. It is by Dlink, see link below. No luck yet but does have mac driver disk in the box. Instructions say it works with only newer powerbooks like 2400, 3400 etc, web says works with 1400 also. Can't find drivers on the web. At this site the card is not badly priced. It is a 10/100 card and has a 56k modem. And is dongleless. Maybe you will have better luck getting it to work than I did. If anybody tries this card and gets it to work on 1400 please let me know. Maybe I am just doing something wrong. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/akidacomputer/dlinpcmci10m.html You did leave an important brand off of the list however and that is Kingston. Many of their cards had mac drivers in the box as well as on the web. I am currently using a Kingston EtheRX IC PC Card in my Powerbook 1400. Box included mac and pc drivers when I bought it several years ago. Has worked flawlessy for me. Also I believe Dayna had compatible cards.

Re: networking problems (1400 and iMac)
Good thought though. I like that idea and may try it myself, Thanks Alternatively, you could get a 1400-compatible PCMCIA wireless card. The Lucent Silver card has had good reviews and costs around $45-50 from OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/specials/MailList.cfm You could then get an airport card for your iMac. I'd seen them going for around $50 at various places on the web, but can't remember now. Give Sherlock a try.

Re: Attn: Chris Boring (Previously - Re: Music Mac)
From: Sionnach Aisling [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was thinking of using my 3400 for music as well. A friend of mine about a year ago gave me a copy of Opcode's (now obsolete) Music Shop (a midi program for Mac in case you aren't familiar with it.) I was thinking of picking up a MidiMan as well... My problem is that I play Guitar, not keyboard... and neither of my guitars is setup with Midi ports as keyboards standardly come with. I'm assuming I can run some sort of synth or something between the Guitar and the Midibox to get the midi output that I need. Do you have any experience with this and could you recommend any hardware? Well, it's a pretty expensive proposition: you need either a guitar with built in MIDI (which is old and hard to find) or you need to mount an audio pickup on the guitar you have, and connect it to a MIDI capable guitar synth. Either way, you're looking at a several hundred dollar outlay. I rather like Roland GR series of guitar synths, take a look on Ebay. I'm not really familiar with musicshop, so I couldn't really say what I think of it. But I'll give my heartfelt recommendation to Propellerheads REason, I do most of my tracks on it, and a minimal track will run fine on your 3400. -doktorboring http://www.mp3.com/c6h6 http://listen.to/vektor7 AIM- Doktor242 MSN+Yahoo- doktorboring Of course you cant trust what people tell you on the web anymore than you can trust what people tell you on megaphones, postcards or in restaurants - Douglas Adams _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Music Mac
What you need is some kind of MIDI interface. A MIDI midi interface plugs into your modem/printer port and will give you MIDI input/output. You will also need some kind of MIDI sequencing software. MOTU, MIDIman and (formerly) Opcode mkae MIDI interfaces. MOTU, Steinberg and EMagic make MIDI sequencing software. Hope this helps. Entire books could (and have) been written on this topic.

This sounds like someone installed MacOS from a Wallstreet or later G3 disc, so you have an internal 56k extension on your disk... this also happened with my 3400 (unfortunately I don't have the OS 7.6 disk that came with it.

Re: PB 520 shuts down when it should be asleep (long)
- Original Message - From: Don Silver [EMAIL PROTECTED] As for the AC connector, I think the 5xx has a less frequent but still annoying version of the PB 5300 AC port problem. If you have charging/power problems that you can't solve by resetting the power manager, reconditioning and and using empathy on the batteries, replacing the on-board battery (PRAM battery?), then a poor AC port connection is probably your problem, especially if you've ever had to prop up the AC plug to get any power. My experience was, after experiencing unsolvable power problems with my 520, I finally sent it in to Sun Remarketing for a motherboard replacement (apparently the motherboard is soldered directly to the AC port). This completely cured the problem, although it was a bit expensive. The next time this occurs with my PB, I'll probably take it to my local Mac shop and tell them to just flow some solder around the AC port/motherboard connection. I've also had this problem with my 3400, and in the end, it needed soldering. -doktorboring [still in mourning for my city's skyline.] AIM- doktor242 MSN Yahoo- doktorboring www.mp3.com/c6h6 Magic to me is something from nothing, which includes rabbits out of hats, it includes the creation of the universe from a quantum vacuum It's all of this.

AFAIK, 5300, 3400 and G3 'Kanga' batteries can all be used in the 3400. I'm not sure if the 1400 had the same form factor, but I'd imagine if it did, you could use it as well in your 3400.

Re: Which PB for $450 USD?
- Original Message - From: mark baker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PowerBooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2001 5:11 AM Subject: Which PB for $450 USD? Hello, I have managed to convince my father to purchase an older PB rather than some old PC laptop he spied at a local used PC shop. Now, of course, I have to help him find one. He can only afford to spend about $450 USD. I thought that the best option would be a PB 3400, which one can find on eBay for a little less than that. Another option would be to purchase a 1400c or 1400cs and a sonnet crescendo, also on eBay. I myself have the latter option and am quite happy with it, despite a small problem with freezing. My question is which of these options do you think would be best? My father is barely computer literate, so I want to get him something quite simple to operate [I will have about ten days over christmas holidays to teach him how to use it]. He wants to use this machine to do email, surf the web and do some word processing, while away from home. If you have any other suggestions besides these two options, please suggest away! I just want to find him the best machine for the money. Thanks, I have a Powerbook 3400, which I use for those purposes, and for some light audio work. It's a fine machine, and I recommend it highly. BUT. you MUST make sure that the PB he gets has a ram upgrade inside it! 16 mb is just not enough! I currently have the 48 mb card, and still feel a bit ram challenged at 64mb total ram.

massive 3400 overhaul... pt. 1
(This is in 2 parts because of the list's 10k message size limit) I'm having massive problems with my 3400c, which I'll outline below. Any suggestions would be appriciated. problem one: The AC adaptor connector came loose from the logic board. I moved the harddrive, keyboard and ram from my 240 mhz machine to my 200 mhz parts machine's chassis. It works fine, for the most part. Is it worth soldering the piece back down and ropping the drive and ram back in the other 3400? Does 40mhz make a big difference? Does anyone know where I can get an original G3 (3500) logic board so I can really turbocharge this baby? problem two: the infamous Powerbook 3400 loose battery issue. When the battery is jostled, sometimes the power shuts off, and I need to re attach the AC adaptor before the Powerbook can be turned on again. I've tried calling Apple to get the gasket kit to fix it, but it's ALWAYS busy. Any other solution? Also, sometimes, the battery drains, and the green blinking sleep ligt goes solid. When this happens, even plugging the 'book into AC doesn't help, i need to let it sif for 10+ hours till the light goes off, only THEN can I run it from AC. problem three: I'd like to add a USB PCMCIA to this machine. I'm shit outta luck, huh? problem four: I'd like to find the 128mb ram card for under $140. I'm shit outta luck, huh?

Aliases are unaffected. problem six: TCP/IP issues. I'm currently using AOL 5.0 as my ISP, as my folks pay for it, I'm poor, and none of the free services offer a Mac version, AFAIK. I can dial into AOL with no problems, and I'm able to use any aol services (email, instant messages, chat, et. al.) However, any time I attempt to connect to the web, either with AOL's internal browswer, or with Internet Explorer 5 or Netscape 4, I get an error: unable to connect to http://www.XX.com. I'm thinking it's a problem with TCP/IP, but everything is ok. (Incidentally, I use a US Robotics XJ5560 56.6k modem, NOT the internal 33.6k modem.) This system worked fine with AOL and IE5 up until 2 months ago, shortly before I damaged the power connector. I haven't installed anything new lately. I have installed all the patches available from Apple, but to no avail. I believe what I really need to do is a clean system reinstall, but unfortunately, when I was given the computer, it didn't come with the special system 7.6 CD that the 3400 requires. I have access (through a friend) to the apple developer library of disk images, so I can easily upgrade the 3400 back up to OS 8.6 when I'm ready, but first I need the 3400's specific version of 7.6. Does anyone know where I can download a disk image, or would someone perhaps be willing to the burn me a copy? And for that matter, is it worth uprgrading from 8.1 to 8.6? What are the big differences? Do you lose a lot of resources? Thanks so much, I know the knowledgable people here will be able to help.

This is all strongly reminiscent of the heyday of Communism and Socialism, when the bourgeoisie were hated from both ends: by the proles, because they had all the money, and by the intelligentsia, because of their tendency to spend it on lawn ornaments. Microsoft is the very embodiment of modern high-tech prosperity--it is, in a word, bourgeois--and so it attracts all of the same gripes. - Neal Stephenson -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: hello...
Thanks a lot! I'm interested in learning about all things Mac at this point, as I'm a fairly recent refugee from the dark side. /me shifts back into lurk mode for a bit.

WallStreet Hinge Replacement Info
Well, I'm very thankful to this list. Shortly after the last thread on this topic came up a couple of weeks ago I finally heard the 'snap of doom' from my display. It had been loose, and I knew it was coming, so I paid special attention to the thread. Someone mentioned that a company called PowerBook Parts (www.pbparts.com) offered a custom made hinge that was good quality steel, as opposed to the cheap metal used originally by Apple. I checked Pre-Owned Electronics (www.preowned.com) and a replacement Apple hinge was around $200 ($99/hinge). Now, I like PreOwned, but I'm a cheap bastard ;-) I backed up my hard disk and shipped off my WallStreet after getting an RMA from PBParts. USPS Priority Shipping with insurance and tracking was about $25 and took two days to get from Atlanta to Arizona. Two days after they received it I got an invoice in my email, and promptly paid via PayPal (my best option). I also asked if they thought I needed a new drive bay eject mechanism - my left battery bay doesn't seem to want to maintain contact if I flex my PowerBook too much, and we're not talking bending it, just lifting one handed or something equally stupid. The reply, was a no. The case screws may just be over-tightened. They 'passed' up an easy sale! Gosh... Honest sales people... ;-) Two days later (today) I received my PowerBook. THE HINGE IS AMAZING! It's like brand new! In fact it's probably a bit stiffer than it originally was. I'm very impressed with PBParts... A great job and service. -Chris Waldrip -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
