Re: PB 1400 + USB?
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 11:24:49 -0800 Subject: PB 1400 + USB? Is there a PC card that will allow me to have a USB port on a PB 1400? I'm planning a trip overseas and need it so that I can connect a SONY Memory card reader and download photos. Any ideas? Experience? Someone already pointed out that USB won't work. Another option may be to find a PCMCIA card reader for whatever media your camera uses. I use a Compact Flash reader and a 64M CF card as a RAM disk in my 5300. Perhaps one is available for the media you want to use. IIRC the memory stick by Sony could be put in a floppy disk reader, but I don't know if that works with Macs?

Re: PB 5300cs Questions?
Did your PB 5300cs come with 16 MB on the motherboard (16 m-board + 32 module = 48 Total)? I thought all the 5300cs models only had 8 MB on the motherboard (which, when adding a 32 MB card, would give you 40 MB, not 48 MB)? I don't know if it came with it, or that's what it left the recall program with. But yes, I have 16M of RAM when no module is in the RAM slot. J White Buy American S.O.S.

Re: help
Almost. Command-Option-Shift-Delete is the one you're looking for. For those of us who are uninitaited/uninformed/clueless, what exactly does this command allow? It doesn't allow anything. It prohibits booting from the internal hard drive. Great. Then it allows you to skip the internal HD when booting. Thanks... I just resubscribed to this list and didn't catch any of this thread, but from what I read here it may be something I'm interested in as well. I'm thinking of upgrading my OS on my 5300cs from 7.6.1 to 8.1. Can I put the 8.1 install on en external HD and boot from it to see how I like it before I install it on the internal HD? Is the SCSI bus roughly the same speed as the internal IDE(?) bus? If it matters the drive will probably be a 1.2G Quantum pulled from an 8500. Thanks, J White Buy American S.O.S.
