Re: PowerBook Trackpad Climate Control

I have a PowerBook Duo 2300c and a 190cs, and both of them suffer

Trackpad Climate Control extension, but this "makes the mouse less  
response" and seems like a cheap band-aid solution.


Was a newer revision of the trackpads in these machines released?   
Would replacing it with a new repair service item solve the problem?


The 2300c is really really bad, and it's a shame because I use that  
every day...


As one who bought a PowerBook Duo 2300c upon introduction back in  
1995, and still own it, I vaguely remember installing a Trackpad Fix  
extension update from Apple.  This was reported in TidBITS Issue 312  
(January 29, 1996) as follows:


"MailBITS/29-Jan-96
PowerBook 2300c Trackpad Fix -- Last week Apple released the  
PowerBook 2300c Update which is supposed to ensure the PowerBook's  
trackpad works correctly. Your PowerBook 2300c may already have this  
extension installed, but if you don't have a file called PowerBook  
2300c Update in your Extensions folder, you can download it from  
Apple. These URLs may change; Apple appears to be reshuffling their  
PowerBook software. [GD]



"


The above two URLs no longer work.  I may still have the extension on  
one of my numerous old ZIP disks, but it would not be easy to locate it.

I have two PowerBook 3400c with Kanga logic boards.  Back in late  
1998, not long after Apple had officially discontinued the Kanga, I  
had a unique opportunity for acquiring two brand-new Kanga boards,  
and I grabbed them for replacement, with no regret to this day.  The  
3400c/Kangas are still going strong.


Even if you can find a Kanga logic board in excellent condition now,  
which would not be easy, you need to know that not all 3400c RAM  
modules are compatible with Kanga boards.

Checking or installing a RAM module in the PowerBook 3400c is  
relatively simple.  It is detailed in the User Guide. If you do not  
have the manual, it can be readily downloaded from the Apple Support

Replacement of the PRAM battery is more involved, but not too bad.

I have not followed this thread carefully, and do not recall the  
specific need of the original inquirer.  I vaguely remember some  
discussion of a broken cable.  The above vendors charge $24-40 plus  
shipping for the PRAM battery.  For not much more than such amounts,  
one can probably buy a complete used PowerBook 3400c.


As the owner of several 3400c/Kanga, I have a few extra new PRAM  
batteries.  Anyone who has a real need for such battery is welcome to  
write me offlist.

Today's question concerns my PB100.
From what I've been told, this machine has sat for

the left. There was harddrive noise, so obviously an

I've tried several different ways to reset the PMU,

While you did not provide the model number for the NEC printer, I 
assume that it is one of their Windows printers.  By "cable out is a 25 
pin," you probably mean a typical PC parallel port.  Your best bet is a 
PowerPrint adapter package, which includes a parallel/serial cable and 
software.  There are usually a few auctions on eBay.

Since you have visited the HP website, you may already realize that  
this is a known problem that HP claims to be working on.  Have you  
tried their suggested "workaround":


Your case may be further complicated by the fact that you are going  
through a USB PC card, rather than direct connection to a USB port.   
Does your USB card come with specific driver?  Does it show up on the  
desktop?

The HP DeskJet 350 is known to be problematic with pre-USB PowerBooks.   
The very similar DeskJet/DeskWriter 340 works well when connected to a  
serial port, which your WallStreet has.

Some balance between largest and fastest with emphasis on fastest.
Cliff:
If a dead hard drive is indeed the only problem with your WallStreet

"2.5-inch drive".  That website often lists "limited-time" deals, some 
of which may involve a little rebate hassle.  From the "deals" that 
show up, you can then make a balance judgment among capacity, speed, 
brand and price.  My own last purchase of a PowerBook drive was a 
Hitachi/IBM drive from MegaMacs.com, on a "deal" that I learned through 
DealMac.

2. Best replacement drive?

For Keyboard Shortcuts under OS 8.5, 8.6, and 9.x:

4. Assuming the HD is the only problem, what is such a PB

You should really check "completed items" on eBay for yourself.  When 
live units in excellent conditions go for about $200, I would suggest 
that your dead one of unknown ailment or specification is worth less 
than $100.

floating around than normal. I Googled a bit for third party 
batteries, but I came up empty. I thought there was a company making 
them, but I was unable to find them."

I therefore appeal to someone on this list who might point me in the

If you had searched for "ClickPad II" instead of "Click Pad II," it 
would indeed be the first link.  Sometimes it is difficult to judge

"Word Perfect" versus "WordPerfect."  Most of us have probably been

In response to previous similar inquiries, I wrote about my experience

interchangeable, while a 64-Mb module in the second unit was not.  A 
technician at DT&T Macintosh Services told me that the incompatible 
module had different jumper setup.  I believe that it was a matter of 
different brands, and not capacity.

At the time it was not a big issue for me, since I had planned to 
replace the 64-Mb module with a 128-Mb module to max out the RAM.

Among other considerations, the PowerBook 3400c does not support Mac OS 9.2.x, 
even though some folks manage to install such with patches.  See the following

that won't work in a Mac), it can find you what is probably the best 
deal on the 'net.  And really that applies to all sorts of components, 
not just HDs.  And they even catalog some Mac stuff (though there 
aren't often any deals to be found by looking for devices marketed 
specially for Mac users).
I use PW once in a while.  It is not as easy to navigate through for 
some items.  DealMac often lists limited-time specials, that have to be 
pursued quickly.

You might need some digging to find what you need, though.
This was my point.  Certain posters seem to assume that some of us have 
all the information stored in our heads.  In order to assist them, we 
often have to do a little, or a lot of, "digging," which they could 
have done themselves.

Good drive, decent price ($2.33 per GB), So-so speed (4200 rpm). Very
small buffer.
I just ordered a Samsung 40 GB. Great price ($1.99 per GB). Great speed
(5400 rpm). HUGE buffer (8 MB). Others have reported good results with
this drive.
If someone is in the market for a larger replacement hard drive for a 
Kanga, or another PowerBook, but not sure what to get, he can go to 
, and do a simple search for "2.5-inch drive."  
Numerous deals for different brands, and assorted sizes, will show up.  
He can then search the Dealmac Forum, or general Google, for user 
experience.

Seagate is not particularly known for the quality of its laptop drives.  If I were in 
the market for a new drive now, I would rather consider a well-regarded IBM/Hitachi 
TravelStar drive, such as the following special deal for a 30-gb drive, even though it 
is 4200-rpm.

The procedure for "digitizing" cassette tapes and long-playing records,

Because I gave away my Toast 4 sometime ago, I do not recall whether it 
included "Spin Doctor."  Even if your Toast 4 does not have this

Coaster might do what you want.

At least, it can record AIFFs to disk from an external source.  The 
rest is up to you...
But then he still needs Toast or similar program to burn a CD.

If the main issue in your lengthy discourse is the missing disk for WordPerfect, it

Not quite.  Netscape 7.0 and even 7.1 do run under Mac OS 8.6 and 9.1,

You can install OS 9.0 or 9.0.4 or 9.1 directly onto any PowerBook

Have you consulted Andy Baird's authoritative resource on the QuickTake 200 as follows?


It has a thorough discussion on adapters and readers for the unique 5.0-volt 
SmartMedia memory cards.  As suggested in that website, I bought from LiveWarehouse 
the inexpensive Lexar Media "universal' USB card reader, which includes a PC-card 
adapter.  I do not have a PowerBook 5300, but the adapter has worked well on a 
PowerBook 3400c, as well as IBM and Sony Windows laptops.

We have two PowerBook 3400c on a wireless network with not only Mac desktops, but also 
Windows desktops and laptops (Sony Vaio and IBM ThinkPad).  Because I did not want to 
bother with driver hacks or patches, we use MacWireless 802.11b PCMCIA cards, which 
have worked flawlessly out of the box.  With this card, your OS does not matter, as it 
supports OS 7.5.5 through 9.2.2.

This issue has been discussed numerous times on this List.  Others have successfully 
used PC cards of assorted brands, most of which cost less than the MacWireless card.  
You may wish to search the List archives.

Expansion-bay CD-ROM drive modules, specific for PowerBook 3400c and Kanga models, 
with 6x, 12x, or 20x speed, are offered on eBay from time to time.  Last year I put up 
an extra 6x unit on the LEM-Swap List, and it was taken very quickly.

HDI-30 to DB-25 SCSi adapters or cables for your external SCSI drives should be easily 
available.  If you cannot find one quickly, write me off list.

Broderbund PrintShop runs flawlessly on my PowerBook 3400c with OS 9.1.  A full 
PrintShop installation requires over 500-mb of disk space.  Did you install all 
essential files?  By today's laptop standards, the PowerBook 3400c does have a small 
screen; but I have never had problems with full-screen display of PrintShop calendars, 
or any other applications.  There are a few things you can easily check.  Did you set 
the monitor resolution to "800x600 with thousands colors" as instructed for PrintShop 
designs?

Back in May you made the same inquiry to this List, and received similar responses, 
including mine, suggesting that you search  for shareware/freeware 
calendar programs, and asking you to explain your needs more clearly.  Perhaps you 
forgot?

It seems that, having bought The PrintShop, you already have a good application, with 
nice calendar features, which you are not using correctly.

Are you somehow dissatisfied with the onboard Ethernet, which has 
served me well for years?  If it is Ethernet speed that you wish to 
improve, you may find that a PowerBook 3400c, with nice design but 
seven years old, has other limitations.

While I have an all-Linksys wireless network, I doubt that they even 
have Mac drivers for your card.  You may wish to try a more

Not too long ago MacResq.com had a clearance sale of PowerBook 3400c

It is unfortunate that you have received conflicting "kind suggestions" from 
"experts," who may or may not have personal experience with systems identical with or 
at least similar to yours.

For years I have had three PowerBook 3400c's, all running OS 9.1 and all using VST Zip 
drive expansion-bay modules.  I have also read repeatedly on this List the "myth" 
about "native" support by OS 9.1 for Zip drives.  With my PowerBook 3400c's sitting 
near me at this moment, and their System Folders open, I can assure you that OS 9.1 
installed the following:
(1) Applications (Mac OS 9)/Apple Extras/Iomega Folder, which includes Iomega Tools 
6.3.1, of 1999 vintage but working flawlessly
(2) System Folder/Extensions/Iomega Driver

There is no need for you to download and install anything else, Iomega or VST.  If you 
remove the above Iomega items, as one "expert' suggested, then no Zip drive modules 
will ever work.  While I have no specific knowledge about your PowerBook 3400c, or 
your Zip drive expansion-bay module, I would suggest that you try the following:
(1) Reset the PRAM once or a few times
(2) Trash the Iomega Driver Preferences file in the Preferences Folder in the System 
Folder, and restart

Good luck!

Re: 5300 memory allocation- VM or RamDoubler 2?

I have a powerbook 5300 with OS8.1 and 24 mb memory (8 mb + 16 mb ram

were updaters that need to be installed for it to work with OS8.1? I 
can't find the Connectix site to get any updaters, if they exist.
Secondly, would it be better to use RamDoubler2 to set the memory 
allocation to 48mb, or better to set the Virtual Memory Control Panel 
to 48 mb?
Thanks.
Right now you can buy RAM Doubler Version 9 from Software-Blowouts.com 
for $5.95.  It supports your PowerBook 5300/OS 8.1 system, and triples 
the RAM.

A quick search of the website of any of the numerous third-party inkjet cartridge

Re: Powerbook 3400c usb palm pilot and zio smartmedia card reader

These seem to be two different issues, neither of which is related to your very, very 
long quote of the other posts, complete with all trailers.

You did not mention the model of your "Palm Pilot."  If it is one of the original old 
Palm III, V, or VII models, which "wants to use the modem or printer port," there were 
Macintosh adapters for "hotsync" connection to the serial port on a PowerBook 3400c.  
In that case it is no longer a USB problem.

If you must use the USB card reader, for uploading images from your SmartMedia memory 
card, then you are into the CardBus issue, which has been discussed numerous times on 
this List, including several recent threads, which can be found by searching the List 
Archives.  However, there are inexpensive non-CardBus PCMCIA card adapters for reading 
common memory cards (CompactFlash, SmartMedia, etc.)  LiveWarehouse.com comes to mind 
as a vender for such adapters.

Assuming that I understand your inquiry, no card will add "usb compatiblity" to your 
PowerBook.  If your PowerBook is already USB-capable, or somehow USB-enabled, then 
this or other comparable cards will enable you to connect USB devices. 

I use several Belkin Busport USB cards with PowerBook 3400c's, which already work with 
other USB cards, such as the Macally.

First I apologize for the previous blank post, which somehow got away from me.

It is interesting that you are just now responding to a message from February 9.  In 
any case, answers to your questions about the Kanga or 3400c can all be found at

My Zip drive expansion-bay modules have always worked flawlessly in several PowerBook 
3400c's.  A quick check of Extension Folders has found Iomega Driver 6.0.6, dated 
1999, which presumably was installed along with OS 9.1.  You may wish to try one or 
more of the following:
1.  Trash the Iomega Driver Preference file from the Preference folder.
2.  Reset the PRAM several times, which sometimes helps with the operation of hardware 
devices.
3.  Download and install IomegaWare package 4.0.2, the latest from 
.

I do not see why (3) would be necessary, but you never know.

With requests for assistance such as this, it is generally helpful to know the OS 
versions, and what drivers/extensions have been installed, whether through the OS or 
separately.  It is unlikely that the "problem" is due to the PowerBook model 
difference.

Since I first suggested on May 1 that you try the generic IomegaWare for Macintosh 
PowerBooks, out of curiosity I have just now attempted to download Version 2.1.1 (file 
maciom21en.hqx, for Mac OS 7.5 to 8.5).  No problem at all with the download or 
expansion.

While I have not read every response in this thread, I vaguely recall others 
suggesting that your difficulty may lie elsewhere than the Zip driver.

The following Apple Support document provides a complete listing of drivers for all

One has to use the appropriate driver for each printer model.  It is not a matter of

If you do a search for "Calendar" at , you will find
