Re: usb, 3400 and OS9 NOT 8.6
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=31132 The Read Me shows a list of the extensions/files added. These are included in 9.1 and higher, but this gives you the list you needed. (The download is only needed to upgrade 8.6 and 9.0.x and says NOT to download if you have 9.1 or higher) You should be able to do a custom install of 9.1 to add the USB function avoiding the work involved in using TomeViewer. David Allen kaldav wrote: Thanks to those who responded about the usb and the 3400. However, my question was specifically about OS 9. Using the Froho url I downloaded the hacked drivers and got a Macally card to work well in the bottom slot of my 3400 with OS8.6 But now with Kanga running OS 9.1 , I tried to install the hacked drivers and the whole powerbook froze right after installation and I had to remove the extensions to get it to book again. Hence, my question about usb drivers to run in OS9, as I know 8.6 works. Therefore, if anyone has usb pcmcia cards running on a 3400 or Kanga with 9.1, would they please send me a list of the names of the extension I need and perhaps I can use TomeViewer to extract them from the system CD.

Re: Incorrect Finder Settings
Try trashing the Finder preferences and restarting. (Can't empty them from the trash until after a restart.) They can corrupt and cause all kinds of problems.

The only bottlenecks are the 33.3mhz bus speed and the limited RAM. The 217 runs comparable to my 7100/G3/217 and the 333 stays with my 7600/G3/300s.

Re: PB 1400 OS 9.1 installation tip
I ran 9.1 on my 1400/117s before upgrading them to G3s. Very slow, but ran. I use 64 meg of real RAM (It ran with 60 Meg also, but prior to upping my real RAM to at least 60 Meg, it wouldn't install.) 9.1 runs well on a G3 w/64 Megs, but it doesn't leave much for working with any apps. Using 68 Meg of Virtual Memory allows using apps like Photoshop, Office 2001, etc. The G3/333 is fairly quick even using VM. The G3/217 is a bit slow, but still usable. David Allen I've got the max--64megs of RAM. But I think your problem is that OS 9.1 requires a minimum of a G3 processor (someone correct me if I'm wrong). -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OS 9.1 on a PB 1400?
First, if this is a bit late for the thread, it's because the cable people took 12 days to get the cable at the pole by my house to work. 12 days since we moved into the new house and 12 days of internet withdrawal I almost went back to dialup. (That would be like a junkie going for a glass of beer because he couldn't find and heroin.) Partitioning is easy and works well for multiple systems. You can start from one to repair the other, etc. I run 8.1 and 9.1 on various Macs in their own partitions. The only problem I've seen is using RAMDoubler while swapping between 8.1 and 9.1. When you go to 8.1, it works fine, but returning to 9.1 , it likes to tell you it wasn't properly imstalled and needs to be reinstalled before it will work. You need to save everything from the drive to another drive or computer (or burn it to CD if that option is available) as partitioning will wipe the entire drive. You can then copy the 8.1 stuff back to its partition and install 9.1 on the other. Be advised that 9.1 needs lots of RAM. You'll be wanting the max of 64 Meg and VM on. 9.1 runs quite nicely on my 1400, G3/217 and fantastically on my 1400, G3/333. A little note: Many OS 9.1 apps actually only need the carbonlib extension. (1.6 is the newest I believe and is a free download from Apple.com) It can be downloaded and dropped into the extensions folder of OS 8.1 and allows many 9.1 apps to work. You can also download Nine 11 (Version 1.3) a free extension that allows using many 8.1 apps with 9.1. (Anyone remember the download URL?) I can attach it to an email if you can't find it online. Drop it in the 9.1 extensions folder. David Allen Spencer Carter wrote: For the past two years, my 1400 has been happily running OS 8.1 with a Sonnet G3 upgrade.

Re: 1400/G3 and Netscape 7 ?
I had 7 running on my 1400/G3/60 Meg +VM for 128 Meg with no problems. I took it out as 4.75 works much smoother and better for most things. (I had to download the 7 installer a couple of times before I could get it to install properly.) There are a few sites that won't work with 4.x anymore and many older sites that don't open properly in 7! For some reason 7 (and Mozilla, on which it is based) have problems with older frames .html code. An example is my company web site. It opens in any other browser as a split screen, but in 7 opens with the right side blank and opens the right side frames as a new page when the links on the left frame are clicked.) For the sites that don't work with 4.7x I use iCab. ( I use the free 2.9.1 version. Very small memory use and fast site navigation.)

9.1 is the best to hope for on a 1400 , (I don't believe the 9.2.x hacks work on a PB.) but unless you have a G3 upgrade and max out your RAM, it runs very slowly. 8.1 and 8.6 work well with the OEM CPUs and don't need max RAM. Any will recognize HFS+ formatting, so your iBook HD should be recognized. (assuming it fits in the1400 HD bay, which requires thin HDs.)

Re: iMac software restore
I've heard there are some hacks available to make it work on a desktop, but I've never even heard of anyone hacking one for a PB. The OS contains only the enabler used by an iMac (#462) and would probably be missing some other PB specific components as well. The price of OEM full install 8.5 or 8.6 disks on the list and eBay is very low. The 8.6 upgrade is a free download from Apple, so 8.5 is all that is needed.

Re: Setting up a powerbook 5300ce for dsl?
1. Is AppleTalk ON (in control panels) 2. Does AppleTalk give an ethernet choice? Select if it does. You don't have the proper card support software if it doesn't. 3. Does TCP/IP (in control panels) give an ethernet choice? Select if it does. 4. Is AppleShare available in your Chooser? Some basic OS installs don't add all of the parts needed for networking. (Had that problem in a 9.1 install.) I had to do a custom install and check the remote access box to get everything needed to network. 5. Is your ethernet card 8.1 friendly or does it require a newer OS? Some need at least 8.5, others need at least 9.1. Info should be available in the card's docs or at the Asante site. Note: My router required that I open the AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels to check them. After closing them on each Mac, that Mac was recognized by the router. If I didn't do that step, they weren't recognized. Must be some sort of ID ping required by the router. (My Asante FR3004LC router only or all? ) http://www.download.com may have an older Stuffit. You might also try downloading the free carbon lib 1.6 extension from Apple. Put it in your extensions folder and restart.

The download is at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120047 The difference between older software and some of the newer versions is the requirement for carbon support.

Re: Memory for 1400
All of my modules (purchased back quite a while ago from MemoryX @ http://www.memoryx.net/powerbook1400.html ) are made by NewerRam. It has never let me down on my G3 upgraded 1400s. You might also do some searching through the http://www.ramseeker.com site, which is a link to current RAM and prices. Decide first if you will need the single 48 Meg module or can use 2 - 24 Meg stackable modules. They work equally well, but some add on cards (such as 3rd party video cards) won't fit with the stacked cards. The 24s are much easier to find and often 2 - 24s are cheaper than the single 48. (go figure!) If you don't have the OEM Apple 8 Meg module, (The 1400 came with the basic 8 Meg on the MB, the 4 Meg OEM Apple module for a base of 12 Meg, or the 8 Meg OEM module for 16 Meg. The OEM module having its own slot, separate from the third party expansion RAM slot.) I've only found the 8 Meg modules on the LEM Swap list and eBay.

If the pauses are new, your hard drive may need defragging. Norton has SpeedDisk, which is a defragging program in Norton Utilities. It would require starting from the Norton CD.

Re: PB 1400 Question
How much RAM do you have? 8.6 needs much more than 8.1. ( 32 or 48 vs 16? Anyone remember exactly how much 8.6 likes vs what the docs say it requires?) I ran 8.6 smoothly on 1400/117s with 64 Meg of RAM (VM off) before upgrading the 117s to G3 CPUs. 9.1 was slow on the 117s, but great with G3 upgrades and at least 48 Meg of RAM. (I still have to use VM or I have memory problems with 9.1 and 64 Meg of RAM, but the G3s handle 9.1 with VM on fairly well.) If you are using VM, how much room is available on your hard drive? Too little room slows VM down quite a bit. The more free space available on a hard drive, the faster VM seems to work. The space reserved by VM is the minimum it needs, but it probably has to search the drive for that space when needed. An almost empty drive accesses easier and faster than a full one. it isn't very noticeable until you compare it to RAM speeds. David Allen John Smith wrote: Haha, yeah, I was :). I've since realised that buying the cheap card and then the driver for it would be the same as just getting a card that works from the start. So, obviously, I did that. Avaya Wireless Gold card (Basically a re-badged Orinoco card) Works, but I had to upgrade to 8.6 to install it. I don't think the 1400 likes that very much, I regularly get a 'pause' effect - Nothing works (except mouse movement) for maybe 30 seconds, then a flurry of disk activity and off we go again. Doesn't seem to be a pattern to it, other than it happened last time I ran 8.6 on it as well. I'll see if I can download some older drivers for the card, then backdate the OS to 8.1, which worked much better.

Re: PB 3400 Power Inverter problem
Try it with the battery removed from the PB. I'm not sure how the battery charging system works, but many electronic devices can't be used with the smaller inverters. I.E. heating coils, some transformers, etc. The inverter sees these as a short circuit and shuts down to protect itself. It might even be the transformer in your AC power brick in which case, you will need the DC adapter to power from the cigarette lighter. I was planning on picking up a small 250 watt inverter to use with my 1400 in the car. The DC adapter costs twice as much as the AC inverter. I guess I'll have to rethink that.

Re: powerbook 1400 stacked memory sizes?
You list six slots on a 1400? What OS are you using? I also only show the Logic Board RAM and the Expansion RAM with OS 9.1. (16 and 48 respectively for the 64 Meg Max.) The only way I've found to check RAM module sizes is by removing and checking the numbers, or removing one of the stacked modules and seeing what difference there is between the original and the new amounts. My PCI Macs show all of the slots, (8 in my 7600/8600s) but my 1400s show only the 2 slots. (Profiler adds the soldered on motherboard 8 megs of memory to the Apple memory card for the Logicboard memory and the single slot into which you can put a single or a pair of stacked 3rd party modules for the Expansion memory.) David Allen Hi Wayne -- I just looked at mine again: it lists 6 slots by name, and indicates the size of the module in each (I tried to copy and paste the list, but system profiler doesn't seem to allow even *that* much meddling.)

Re: 1400 with scsi zip drive
Does your SCSI adapter have a switch ? If so, try it in the other position. One position is to use external SCSI devices and the other is for connecting a PB to a desktop Mac so that the PB is recognized as an additional hard drive. (A form of networking available with some PBs.) On mine, it is called the SCSI Dock switch and the OFF position is used with external SCSI devices. Be advised that sometimes the adapter doesn't sit tightly into the PB and needs to be shimmed up to make proper contact. Put something of proper height under the adapter so that it fits straight into the slot. Using the HDI 30 wasn't one of Apple's better ideas. I've also found adapters with bent or broken pins. It should have 30 pins (6 rows of 5) You might also try a different external device to make sure the adapter works. (The green light being on doesn't always mean the adapter is working properly.) An external hard drive works well for testing if you have one available. David Allen -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: HP DeskJet Portable
The support side of http://hp.com has listings for the manuals and driver software (version 5.1.1 is the latest and supports OS 8.x through OS 9.x) for the DeskJet 310 and 320 PC parallel printers and the DeskWriter 310 and 320 Mac Serial printers as well as spec sheets. (The 310 and 320 are pretty much the same except the 320 prints a little faster.) The words DeskJet 310 (or 320) or DeskWriter 310 (or 320) are usually found to the right of the control buttons. Check the side of the printer unit (the part with the control buttons) for the printer cable port. If you have the round 8 pin port, it is a DeskWriter (Mac) printer and usable with your 5300 via a Mac printer cable. If it has a port that looks like a small SCSI connector, it is a DeskJet (PC) printer. Both versions are color capable printers, but only the deskWriter will work on your 5300. There are parallel to USB converters available, but that would require adding USB capabilites and the converter. The cost wouldn't be worth the effort. I'd recommend selling the DeskJet to a PC user and looking for a DeskWriter for your Mac. (LEM Swap or eBay) The C3005A designation on the bottom of the unit is the part number for the sheet feeder/printer base assembly. The printer unit is actually removeable from the base for an even more compact and lighter printer. With the units separated, there is a battery cover visible on the bottom of the printer unit. This can use an optional rechargeable battery that allows up to 100 pages to be printed without external power. (Great for print anywhere use with a PB) Without the sheet feeder assembly, the paper must be single loaded though. The AC power unit recharges the battery without it needing to be removed from the printer. I find no reference to any PCMCIA slot. Where is it located on your printer? Once the software is installed, it works just like any other Chooser selected printer in a Mac. It has the standard page setup and print commands with some options available after Print is selected.

Re: Pram Battery for 1400c
That's the same price and place I got mine several months ago, but I hadn't seen any on eBay for a bit. I used the battery URL only as a reference as to what type of battery was needed. I wouldn't pay the $39.95 U.S. + shipping quoted on the site either when I know they have been available at $15 + shipping.

Re: 1400c RAM Stacking (was Re: ATA Hard Drives/PCMCIA slot)
32 Meg modules are not stackable. 24s and smaller are. Even though the Max RAM in that slot is 48, it must be done with either 2-24s or a single 48 module. Why? I have no idea, but probably is something in the RAM recognition side of the ROM. GURU shows many combinations of the 4, 8, 16 and 24 Meg modules, but shows the 32 Meg and 48 Meg modules as being only allowed as single units.) You can stack the RAM that allows stacking even if you have the 16 Meg Apple setup. (8 on the MB and 8 in the Apple expansion slot.) I have a 1400 running that way now while my other uses a single 48 Meg, the 8 on the MB and a 4 Meg in the Apple slot. The only problem with the stacked RAM is when attempting to use a 3rd party video card. The Apple 8 bit card can be used in the stacked module 1400, but the 16 bit 3rd party card is larger and will not allow the top RAM module to be installed. (The 16 bit card had to be put in the 1400 with the single 48 Meg module.) Both have G3 upgrades,([EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]) which don't interfere with any other upgrades. I'd love to upgrade the 4 Meg Apple RAM module to an 8, but they are a terrible buy per Meg and not worth the investment for the tiny gain. RAM Doubler has a better bang for the buck, allowing triple the RAM under OS 9.1, without slowing them very much. David Allen -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 1400c RAM Stacking (was Re: ATA Hard Drives/PCMCIA slot)
I've tried VPC 4/ME on both of my 1400/G3s and found that it wouldn't work. I originally assumed that it was because RD is a VM, although much quicker and more efficient than Apple's VM. I since have heard of many people having trouble with PBs that had Sonnet G3 upgrades refusing to run VPC. Whichever is the cause (or perhaps a combination of the 2?) I haven't been able to operate VPC 4 on a 1400. (Perhaps ME is the culprit as it is as memory hungry as 9.1. A different Windoze/DOS version of VPC 4 might work.) VPC 3/95 and OS 8.1 worked fine with 64 Meg and a G3. David Allen Brian wrote: terrible buy per Meg and not worth the investment for the tiny gain. RAM Doubler has a better bang for the buck, allowing triple the RAM under OS 9.1, without slowing them very much.

Re: 1400c RAM Stacking (was Re: ATA Hard Drives/PCMCIA slot)
You must have always gotten the good modules and I the bad. I have never been able to get 32s to stack with 16s. I also have never had a problem with the 16Meg Apple RAM and stacked 3rd party modules that others say they've always had. There must be some real extremes in the production of the 3rd party RAM modules, which is very un-Apple. Perhaps the European specs differed from the US specs? Perhaps those modules lacking the pass through connector are incapable of being used in a stack at all? I've never seen a 32 Meg with a pass through connector, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. David Allen Simply not true. I have configured many 1400 with a 16 and a 32. Some Ram module are not stackable at all, they lack a pass thru connector. I have heard of problems with certain 16 and 32 not working together, likewise people not being able to change the 4MB Apple card for an 8MB one. In the tens of 1400s I've worked on I've never seen these problems but they have been reported often enough on the list to suggest that some Ram modules are problematic.

Re: 1400c RAM Stacking (was Re: ATA Hard Drives/PCMCIA slot)
RD is basically a Virtual Memory program that works better than Apple's. (I'm sure someone can jump in to explain exactly how it does this.) It has the same limitations with opening some apps, although others treat it as real RAM (very slow real RAM!!!) I'd check with people on the LEM Swap list and eBay. RAM Modules show up occasionally. They are available from some of the Mac RAM supply houses, but are very pricey. (I got my 48 from the LEM Swap list and my stackable 24s on eBay.) David Allen What, exactly does RD do? I'm stuck at 48mb without VM on, and with the CF card providing 116 mb additional RAM. but it's too slow (it does prevent total hangs or crashes, though).

Re: 1400c battery
You may have a bad battery, it may need to be charged, the PRAM battery may need to be replaced, or the PRAM or Power Manager may need to be reset. Does the 1400 startup on the AC power adapter? The Help menu should explain how to reset the Power Manager/PRAM. Replacing the PRAM battery is not for the feint of heart, as it requires taking almost the entire 1400 apart and working with very delicate wires and connectors. The PRAM battery is located beside the touch pad in the bottom case.

Re: Powerbook 1400 hard drive
Any IDE 2.5 drive will fit as long as it is no more than 12.5 mm thick. (There are lots of 14mm drives floating around, but they don't allow the keyboard to fit back into the case.) The bracket may not align to mount some drives, but the space is tight enough that it isn't needed. (I have a 9 Gig, 9mm thick drive in one of my 1400s that won't allow the bracket's screws to be used, but it stays in position with no bracket attached.) Remember that some of the older systems wouldn't recognize a partition larger than 2 Gig. (I don't remember the exact cut off OS version, but it seems to me it was back in the 7xx range.)

Re: 1400 G3 upgrade
From what I've been able to find, it appears that the 3400 has no practical G3 upgrade path. The (if memory serves) soldered on CPU and the sharing of the case with the G3/250 PB make it impractical to upgrade the 3400. The differences between the 3400/G3 seem to be (besides hard/CD drives, modem, and some no longer needed 3400 parts.) different logic, power supply, IR boards, fan assembly, bottom case and battery.

Re: Best place to shop for software?
You can probably find an OEM version of 8.6 at the LEM Swap list, through this same list group or on eBay. Don't get a model specific version (I.E. the version that shipped with an iBook or iMac, etc.) as they are designed to install on that specific model only. There are some hacks available that are supposed to allow their use, but I've never been able to make one work. The full install version is the best and will cost about the same as a model specific version most of the time. Max RAM is 144 Meg as you thought. The hard drive is an ATA (IDE) 2 1/2 wide and 12.5 mm thick or less. I like the thin ones, (9.5mm) better as they leave more space between the drive and keyboard for cooling. http://www.otherworldcomputing.com has some new 20 Gig drives for about $100, 30 Gig for about $120 and 40 Gig for about $140. When you put in the larger drive, you can partition it to allow separate partitions for each system and (if you plan on using it for internet access) I like to use a small separate partition for my internet connection apps. They fragment often and are much easier to keep in good shape if on their own partition. David Allen David Marshall wrote: I just got my 3400c from an auction.

Re: a powerless powerbook
BTI makes an external charger (doesn't power the PB) into which you can place the removed battery for charging. Mine can do 2 at once, but it is for the 1400, which uses a different battery. I had one years ago that did a single battery for my old 230 Duo. My present one discharges the battery completely first to eliminate Memory Set and then charges fully. I don't remember if the Duo's did the same. I don't have their URL, but maybe someone else can send you to someplace that stocks them. A charge as low as yours shows is a good indication of a bad battery. The shelf life for PB batteries is not very good. They need to be exercised or they self destruct. I've got several PB battery doorstops (deep sea fishing weights?) for that very reason. I've found that almost every time you buy a used PB, you need to buy a new battery. Used usually means that they weren't needed for a while and weren't exercised. David Allen Jordan Carder wrote: I just acquired my first powerbook, a 180c.

So - several questions. Should it have booted with only 600mA? Is there a way I can modify my adapter to produce a higher amperage, without killing myself or destroying it in the process? Also, does anyone know the correct polarity to use, so I can attempt to charge the battery; even 600mA should be able to give it some juice back, right? If that's not a good idea, maybe charging the battery externally could be an option, too. Thanks in advance, Jordan -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: a powerless powerbook
You don't need a good battery to run on AC. (Some models need a battery in the slot, but it can be dead.) I'd recommend waiting until you get the power brick and check it that way. The 180 is a nice bit of Apple history, but not worth investing much in as the parts cost could very easily equal the price of a newer, more usable with newer software, Mac.

Re: Processor Speed Apple Profiler
Believe the software that came with your upgrade. It is a common problem for Apple Profiler to have odd readouts with non-standard CPUs. My 1400s , #1-G3/217 @ 217 and # 2-G3/333 @ 333 according to Sonnet, Powerlogix and Newertech software ( I've tested with all 3 apps. All were within a 1 MHz spread of the 217/333 respectively.) vs 125/190 respectively, according to Profiler. ) This happens with the Desktop Macs as well as the PBs. My PPC Desktop Macs all show much slower than their actual G3 upgrade speeds, but the speed difference is huge compared to what profiler says it should be. I've clocked as high as 16 times faster operation for the same work with a G3/400 vs the 604e/200, in the same motherboard. It looks like Profiler gets confused if it doesn't find particular Apple factory type readings. David Allen Eric Riedl wrote: I have a G3 400Mhz card in my PB1400.

Re:
The enabler is an extension that recognizes the particular Mac by its model gestalt ID number and allows the OS to operate with that specific model's ROM. (Among other things.) The newer generic (OEM) OS CDs have all previous Mac version enablers included and the installer automatically adds the required one. (I.E. a model brought out prior to OS 7.1 will have its enabler included in OS 7.1, but one brought out after 7.1 was released will not, but can be supported by 7.1 with the addition of the enabler.) Apple Profiler under OS 9.x on my upgraded 1400 says None for active system enabler, even though it recognizes my Model Gestalt ID of 310. My Upgraded 8600, is recognized as Model Gestalt ID of 69, which according to GURU uses Enabler 702. Apple profiler also says that Active Enabler is None for this model. That makes me wonder if OS 9.x uses a different way to enable the Mac than earlier versions. Anyone? Have the Enablers been eliminated for newer models? If you are attempting to use a model specific install disk (I.E. using an iMac install disk on a PB) the CD will not have the required enabler. The Apple.com support area had all of them for download at one time, but I haven't looked lately. I'm told there are ways to hack a model specific OS installer to recognize other models, but I haven't tried them.

Re: renewed book
Just out of curiosity, what did the tech charge for the installation? I've replaced them in both of my 1400s and I know it's a little work to get at, (at the front of the lower case by the touch pad) as the plug is very tiny and the wires wrap under and through metal pieces. It is not a job for the faint of heart nor the mechanically challenged, as there are lots of parts packed in the 1400 case. Working with tweezers and a lighted magnifier are almost a must. (at least for my old eyes and fat fingers) Some people have just replaced the batteries, which requires some soldering, but the entire plug-in battery module is well worth the extra money. I found a wire frayed from rubbing on the metal framing on one of the old modules. I'm not sure what would happen if it were to ground out the battery, but it couldn't be good.

Re: Maxing out 1400 (CD-R drives)
My Yamaha external 6416 worked fine with Toast 4 on a G3/217 upgraded 1400/OS 9.1. I didn't try any fast speeds, but it worked fine with 2x burns. The 7600/604e-200 that I normally use for burning works at the same speeds, The slowdown appears to be the hard drive. The CPU can handle much faster speeds. I tried a burn from a 7200 RPM SCSI 3 HD via a SCSI 3 PCI card in the 7600 and the burn speeds went up to the 6x max that this burner allows. Disk to Disk was limited to 1x-2x, but that may be because of the SCSI 1 parts of the external chain to which the second CD drive was connected.

Re: Module Carrying Case?
I use pieces of foam rubber cut from a camping ground mat. (I buy the blue foam camping mattresses sold at Walmart.) Cut 2 pieces slightly larger than the size of the modules, cut 3 pieces to act as spacers along the sides and bottom, glue the pieces together with superglue or epoxy so that you have a pouch into which you can slide the module. Superglue or epoxy velcro straps to close the opening and travel without worry. 1 mat is sufficient for a few dozen cases, so you may want to look around a hardware store to see what else you might find that will work with less waste of material. I use the excess for shelf pads, etc., so I don't have any waste. It makes a great shock absorbing material for anything that needs to be transported. I lined my computer shelves in an 18 wheeler and carried my old 840 AV, 13 Sony monitor, modem, HP printer and Visioneer Paperport over the road for years.

Re: Can't turn VM off ???
I use Ram Doubler 9 with no problems on OS 9.1. It allows triple the installed RAM, (192 Meg vs the 1400's max of 64 Meg) but runs slow even with a G3/217 upgraded 1400. (Much faster on my partner's G3/333 upgraded 1400) I might note that it runs at least as fast for the same memory allocation on my PBs as VM. One thing I've noticed is that RM doesn't steal anywhere near the room on the hard drive that VM requires. This can become very important when using the small capacity OEM drive. The only problem I had with RM 9 was on a desktop PPC using OS 8.1 and OS 9.1. When installed on both OS drives, it would work with either. When I'd swap to 8.1, RM would work, but when I went back to 9.1, it wouldn't without a reinstall. It would continue working on the 8.1 drive no matter how many times the OS was swapped.

You have 2 options for obtaining that functionality: 1) ClickPad II control panel - software solution emulates a tappable trackpad and intercepts certain taps on the pad, translating them into clicks. In my experience, this software works unreliably and inconsistently. It works, but not very well. 2) Get the entire trackpad assembly (including cable!!) from a PowerBook 190 series (which HAS a tappable trackpad). This works flawlessly - I'm using it in my 5300ce without any trouble after lots of bungling around w/ ClickPad. Hope that helps, Drew -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OS considerations for newly acquired 1400c
I find 9.1 works fine in my 1400s, but they are both upgraded to G3. 9.1 may be slow with a stock CPU. I like 8.1 on slower Macs. Much less memory use, faster and less bugs than 8.6.

Apple Presentaion System ?
I picked up an Apple Presentation System. (complete, new and still in the plastic wrap) I plan to use it with my PB 1400/G3-217/60Meg RAM, OS 9.1 to link my Newertech Viewpowr 1400/16 video card to a big screen TV via the video input on a VCR. (VCR on and set correctly. TV set to VCR default channel, etc.) Everything appears to work properly, correct cables, green light on the Focus box, Monitors Control Panel shows 2 monitors, but no signal shows on the TV. The docs say tht it needs a VGA output, (the video card does that) , but it says screen resolution of 640x480. (My PB 1400 only offers 800 x 600, but when I tested the video card with an external monitor, It allowed me to set a screen resolution on the external monitor to 640 x 480, but with video mirroring ON the external monitor matched the 800 x 600 of the PB's built in resolution.) Apple's site was of no help. It just mirrored the docs that were included with the Presentation kit. Any help will be appreciated.

Re: 1400 CS Screen
It's a peculiarity of the older LCD screens, both active and passive. The pixel modules have a memory and take longer to fade than a CRT. The fast refresh rate of newer computers is faster than the fade rate and so gives ghosts. The higher the screen quality, the less ghosting. Passives ghost more than active displays. Check some of the PC laptop screens. (even some of the expensive units) You'll be very happy to get back to the Mac's screen, as it has much less ghosting than the majority of PC screens.

Re: Battery recharges while in PB165c?
The battery should charge while in the PB, with the PB running or not. The icon is the charge indicator. It should be solid when the battery is completely charged. If the battery shows charged, but doesn't work with the adapter removed, it is one of two things: 1. Bad battery, a very common problem.

Re: pc card modems and lan cards on 5300/190's
I use a GV 56k Modem Ethernet card (Model A959, which is also usable with PCs) for my on the road needs and have the side benefit of being able to connect to my network via Ethernet. The 10BaseT networking capabilities are worth the price of the card as they allow me to transfer data and programs directly over my network with a simple plug in of a Cat5 cable and a couple of control panel/chooser settings. I bought mine through eBay for $40, which might be a bit high, but it was guaranteed not DOA and worked great after I downloaded the version 3.0.2 upgrade (includes a full installer) and then upgraded to the latest version. (3.0.6) It uses a single card slot. (I'm not sure if it is a Type 1 or Type 2 size, but it doesn't block the second slot, so it's not a type 3.) It has very low power draw (I noticed no difference in battery life with it running.) and doesn't need an external power supply.

Re: Where to buy 56 MB RAM Module for PB 5300 for less
I'd keep an eye on eBay. I've been picking up RAM to max out my 1400s for 1/2 to 2/3rds what I've found was the cheapest listing at http://www.ramseekers.com. (24 meg for about $50 each and 48 Meg for about $100 each.) (I only bid on the new in sealed antistatic bags or guaranteed not DOA) David Allen Daniel Morales wrote: Anyone know where I can get a 56 MB RAM Module for PB 5300 for not that much money? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Need software for Global Village 56K Modem/Ethernet PC card
Look for version 3.0.2 as it has the complete install. Also download update 3.0.6 to bring the installed 3.0.2 up to the latest version. There is also a firmware upgrade that needs to be downloaded and installed if you are using O.S. 9.x. (The firmware upgrade will not install if you don't have 9.x installed.)

Need software for Global Village 56K Modem/Ethernet PC card
I just picked up a Global Village 56K Modem/Ethernet PC card for my PB 1400's PCMCIA slot, which came without software. Does anyone have the installer software that they could attach to an email (off list please) or a source online where I could get a download? I can receive large files, so that isn't a problem. I checked the GV site and they have the upgrades, but not the installer software for download. I've already tried an installation from my GV teleport disk and got a message that it was thr wrong software for my modem. The GV store is no longer operating, so I can't buy the disk from them. GV is the only modem company that that I've seen that doesn't offer software installer downloads for their products. I would be willing to pay a reasonable charge for the original disk.

SUMMARY: Need software for Global Village 56K Modem/Ethernet PC card
My thanks to the respondents. Several said to download the latest update from GV, which was in fact a full install version. Did that with no success. (Version 3.0.6) I then did some searching and just for kicks downloaded the previous version. (3.0.2) That's the one. It is a full install, which can then be updated with the version 3.0.6 download. My little card is happily connecting to my network and the internet. Thanks to all for the help David Allen -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
