No, just hook up one of those trickle charge solar panels and set it in

I have a NuPower PPC upgrade in my 540c running at 166MHz. I've never 
opened her up to take a look at it but it is very steady and reliable so 
far. I've had this PowerBook for about 4 months running OS 8.1 without 
any problems. Google the NuPower PPCs...you'll probably find the info 
you want.

Yes, I see what you mean. I guess I go by...Whatever gets the job done, 
whether it be orthodox or just by luck. Having no formal training in any 
of this, I'm lucky that I can almost always fanagle stuff to come out 
with the desired effect.

Thanks Fabian.I wish I would have seen this back when I was trying 
to make my floppies! I had very little idea of what I was doing, being a 
total Mac newbie at the time! IIRC I was having to reformat each floppy 
as I went along cuz they were all IBM formatted.  ;-)

One other thoughtwhich version of DiskCopy are you using? It may be 
that you need an older version than the one you currently use.

It's been almost a year ago that I did it...IIRC I had to download them 
in order because you have to have the first one  (smi.bin) in order to 
do anything with the others. D/L #1-19 each on their own floppy and when 
you go to install you have to create a folder on the machine you want to 
install to and transfer each disk into that folder and then start from 
the #1 smi.bin. I remember it took me quite a long time to figure out 
the process with alot of going back and forth but perserverence paid 
off. If you seriously need this let me know and I'll try to reconstruct 
the process in depth for you.

Rob,

I have a copy of that (7.5.3), as well. Made the same way as 7.5.

I haven't followed this thread entirely but if the question is about the

540c floppy drive bad?

[Fran Dollinger]

Hi...
List of symptoms:

Initially reads the floppy just fine
Cannot read it after it has been ejected and reinserted
Floppy disk cannot be read by any other computer after it has been 
initially read by my 540c

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Fran

Re: file sharing...now what?

[Fran Dollinger]

Thanks for the details and yes, after further inspectionit is the 
wrong cable (18"). I was initially just trying to link the two so I 
could get a decent browser installed onto the 540c. Fortunately, I found 
my Stuffit Deluxe and was finally able to open the downloads taken from 
my 7300. As of this morning the 540c is running OS 8.1 using Netscape 
4.8 on a 'broadband' cable modem. Thanks for all of your help! Now , I'm 
off to find the right cable! I'd like to have all of my options covered!

My badfound the section that talks about termination. Unfortunately, 
I haven't a terminator for DB-25. I'm off to eBay again, I guess!  I'll 
be back with more questions in a week or so.

Re: file sharing...now what?

[Fran Dollinger]

Here's the link to the Manual I was using:

http://manuals.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/powerbooks/0304451APB520540CGS.PDF

Line 6 & 7 talk about the other SCSI devices and the termination.

I have nothing, other than the keyboard & monitor attached to the 7300 
and nothing attached to the 540c.

Any other ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Fran

To expand on this.Yes, I have the right cable (the dark one) There was no mention 
of 'termination' in the manual that I read...I may be blind, though...
I did go through the Powerbook Setup and it is set to SCSI ID#2.
Do I need to disable the Apple CD Player? The manual mentioned disabling any other 
SCSI devices...
Thanks,
Fran

file sharing...now what?

[Fran Dollinger]

Hi all,

Ok, I have the HDI-30 to DB-25 cable to hook my 540c to my 7300. I went 
to the Apple Manual site and read the process to do the Disk Mode setup, 
tried it out and got nada. The SCSI symbol that is suppose to come up on 
the 540c screen did not appear, but no error came up eitherjust 
blank grey screen. Any speculations or extra help appreciated!

Thanks,
Fran

Re: was: file sharing, now: cable adapter

[Fran Dollinger]

and try that out!

was: file sharing, now: cable adapter

[Fran Dollinger]

Ok, so, anyone have a name or config or P/N for this cable that I can 
use with my PB540c to hook up a SCSI CDRW?? Also, Craig W. what is SCSI 
disk mode? (Oops, ingnorance hanging out everywhere!) What is it? What 
does it do? How does one do it? And maybe you have a 'link' to somewhere 
that I can read all about it!
Thanks,
Fran

Re: File sharing....

[Fran Dollinger]

Back atchya! Hey, do you know what I'd need to hook up an ext. CDRW or 
if it's even possible?
I figured I could keep most of my misc. junk off of the HD that way...
Thanks,

Fran

Re: file sharing....

[Fran Dollinger]

Yeah, it's just called sharing... in the OS 8.1 menu. Went there did 
that and still the HD was a no show in the Chooser. But I think you may 
have something about Appletalk and the Printer using the same 
port..I'll check that out tomorrow. Also, someone mentioned the 
PRAM being bad could cause a problem.
Thanks for the help!!

file sharing....

[Fran Dollinger]

Hi,

Just got a great deal on a PB 540c, 1gig, 40mg RAM, PPC upgraded, 
running OS 8.1. All the core programs were removed before the auction 
(not eBay or online). No CDROM. I haven't been able to get a small 
enough browser to put on it...well, I have Internet Valet w/ Mosaic on 
it but it would not browse, it would however retrieve mail, go figure. 
Anyway, I thought, ok, I'll hook the PB to my G3 upgraded 7300 with a 
printer cable (am I wrong here?) and tried out file sharing. I get all 
the way to the point of going into the Chooser to 'select the file 
server' and nothing is showing in the box.I've gone to the 
threemacs.com site and followed all of the directions...please email me 
off list with any help, Thanks,  Fran
