Re: Quicktake 200 lithium batteries

[Jamie Pruden]

Hi Chuck (et al,)

The charger that Grizzlygiant mentions below is an excellent unit. I 
have 4 of these charging a variety of NiMH batteries here at my house. 
They do a very nice job of charging and keeping the batteries charged 
without burning them out. I use the NiMH batteries in just about all of 
my remotes and cordless phones around the house and they just work.

I can also recommend Thomas Distributing as a vendor for batteries... 
I've ordered over 100 NiMH batteries from them and they are very 
reliable.

As far as the memory cards go, I need to do some digging, I guess. I 
have a QT200 with extra memory cards *and* an AC Adapter that I haven't 
used in some time. I even have the original box for it...

I'll get back when I find it.

smiles,
Jamie

would recommend the charger or perhaps look at alternative models.

Hello Chuck:

 I haven't done a lot of
checking, but this looks pretty good to me.  I like to stick to 1 Amp 
or
greater chargers.

Make sure you check out _all_ of their deals to see which one fits you.

In return (please?) could you tell me where I might find the 2 MB or 4
MB SmartMemory cards for one of these?  I bought one without the memory
and have had a bit of a shock at the situation for these things.
Sincerely yours, Grizzlygiant

Please reply offlist.

Take-apart for clamshell iBook?

[Jamie Pruden]

Hi all,

I'm looking for the Apple Service Source or a website with take apart 
instructions for a clamshell iBook. Basically, the plan is to replace a 
bad modem, but it would be nice to have the full manual in case there 
are other problems.

Thanks in advance.

smiles,
Jamie

Re: 520c screen conversion

[Jamie Pruden]

Considering the price of an active LCD, you'll probably be better off 
selling your 520c and buying a 540c...

Re: wireless for 3400 and 1400

Hi Gene,

I'm using a WaveLAN Silver card in my 1400... connecting to Earthlink DSL

MCE has such a device...

Too bad they don't sell the adapter separately.

Re: 1400 Crescendo 466

[Jamie Pruden]

Actually, these instructions are included in the box with the accelerator.

I purchased a 400 MHz model and had to follow the exact same 
instructions. I did the normal power manger reset and the unit did not 
work.

I managed to get the button held down with a screwdriver and some tape. 
24 hours later, I had a working unit.

Re: VST Tri-Media Reader and Zips and CF PCMCIA--ooops

[Jamie Pruden]

Start up one machine.
Turn on AppleTalk. Choose Ethernet.
Start up the other machine.
Turn on AppleTalk. Choose Ethernet.

You may have to restart the first machine. Maybe not, though.

That should be it. You can now mess with the File Sharing control panel 
to choose who can access and what they can access.

Select Chooser on one machine.
Click on AppleShare.
Choose the other machine.
Type in the name and pw for the machine.
Click OK.

Now you're connected...

Jamie

Re: Appleworks question

[Jamie Pruden]

Hi Donna,

Type 2 errors typically mean one of two things:

Extension conflict

or 

Out of RAM

Try restarting your machine with the extensions off (hold down the shift 
key until it says "Welcome to Macintosh. Extensions off.") Do what you 
did before. If there's no problem, you'll have to try to figure out what 
caused the problem.

It seems you know about allocating more memory to AW... you can try 
setting it to something obscene (like 200,000K) and try what you were 
doing before. If it doesn't crash, you may have just run out of memory...

smiles,
Jamie

I had the same experience with MacZone which is why they are off of my

Hi Tom,

I'm not sure where your low end starts, but my vote is for the 1400. Very
