Subject: Re: Can't get WEP/128-bit encryp to work on my TrueMobile wireless card At 9:49 PM -0400 10/25/05, Gary F. Daught wrote: Greetings. I'm slowly getting things configured on my PB2400c (180Mhz/80MB RAM) running OS 8.6. Wired ethernet via my GlobalVillage PowerPort Platinum Pro pc card appears to be working fine. I'm using the v. 3.0.2 driver (any updates I should consider?). Wireless connection via my Dell TrueMobile 1150 also works great on an UNENCRYPTED network using ORiNOCO v. 7.2 driver software. However, when I turn on 128-bit encryption on the Linksis wireless router, and enter the 26 digit WEP key, I can't connect (although it registers great signal strength). It is my understanding that the TrueMobile 1150 (a Lucent/Agere card) is a GOLD card that is supposed to support 128-bit encryption. Any ideas as to my problem/solution? On Tue, 25 Oct 2005, Clark Martin Replied: What are you using as a Key. Specifically is it text or Hex (numbers 0-9 and letters a-f or A-F). If it's text then you are likely running afoul of the different way different hardware / software turns a text key into a hex key. Down in side the router and wireless card use a binary key. This can readily be displayed as a Hex key and all equipment works with this without trouble. Most wireless encryption systems have a method for inputting a text key and converting it to a hex key. This makes it easier to write it down or remember it. Problem is the text to hex conversion process gets done differently. What you need to do is look at your router setup and get the hex key. Then enter this into your laptop. I don't know about the Orinoco software specifically but most have a method for signifying that you are entering a hex key (since a hex key could also be interpreted as a text key). With Apple's stuff you prefix the hex key with a $ (dollar sign). If you are still having problems I recommend turning off the WEP on the router to verify you can connect. Then try turning on WEP to get it working. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway I would like to add the that if using a hex key in the Orinoco software, put a double quotation mark () in front of the hex key. No space between the double quotation mark and the key. Make sure that your use key 1 on both devices. You might want to try 64 bit WEP first, as the key is smaller and easer to work with. Once you have been able to get WEP working in this mixed enviroment, then change your key to use 128 bit WEP. The Orinoco v7.2 drivers will show a signal streingth, without connecting via WEP. The only way to tell if the WEP key is good, is to look at your TCP/IP control pannel and see if you have a valid IP Address. Compare you IP Addres with WEP off, to that of WEP on. Your card should say Encryption 128RC4 on the back. If it does, it supports 64 128 bit WEP. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Re: PB 1400, OS 8.1 and Wi-fi
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 10:01:24 -0700 From: Roger Andre [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: PB 1400, OS 8.1 and Wi-fi Hi Kenneth, Thanks for the help. Here is what I know/see: - I have never setup a pcmcia ethernet card in this machine, as I could not find drivers for either the Linksys or Belkin cards that I have. I did setup a Linksys 56k modem however. - I do not have an Alternate Ethernet connection option in my Appletalk Control Panel. All I have are: Ethernet, IRTalk, Modem/Printer, and Remote Only. - When I choose Use DHCP Sever in my TCP/IP settings for Ethernet, I do not have the option to specify a DNS server. All I have is a box that says Search Domains in which I could put an entry. I've been assuming that means something like earthink.net, or globexplorer.com, but am not sure. - Finding the WaveLan Version 6.00.4 driver wasn't easy, and it was the only one I ran across. Do you know where I could find a v6.3 one? - I would love to update the OS on this machine to 8.6, as I believe that I could use the 7.2 Orinoco driver with that OS. However, as lame as it sounds, I haven't been able to find an 8.5 install CD locally, and as I understand it, I need to load that first and then install 8.6 over it. If I'm wrong there, please clarify. I don't know the Mac OS extremely well, and I don't really know what to buy from the descriptions I see on eBay. Alot of the CD's seem to imply that they are restore CD's for specific types of machines. - Thanks for the info on what to do with the hex values in the wi-fi settings. I had no clue there. Regards, Roger Hi Roger. Ok let's start with the easy questions. OS 8.6 is available as a full install cd. No need to purchase OS 8.5 and then upgrade. You would be better off with a Retail version of the OS 8.6 vs a machine specific version. Post a want to buy on the LEM Swap list or check out this link to ebay. http://computers.search.ebay.com:80/OS-8-6_Operating-Systems_W0QQbsZSearchQQcatr efZC6QQfclZ3QQfgtpZQQfposZ23452QQfromZR2QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQlopgZQ QsacatZ80256QQsadisZ200QQsaprchiZQQsaprcloZQQsaslcZ2QQsatitleZOSQ208Q2e6QQsbrfto gZ1QQsofocusZunknown How much ram do you have? If you go to OS 8.6 You may need more ram than you currently have. Also read the section on my Wireless FAQ for Known Issues with v7.2 of the Orinoco drivers. The AppleTalk and TCP/IP selections may have been named Ethernet instead of Alternate Ethernet in OS 8.1, so that should not be a problem. In the TCP/IP control panel, put those DSN numbers in the Search Domains section. If the OS 8.1 TCP/IP has a selection that says Alternate Search Domains, then in that one put earthlink.net As for v6.3 of the software, their are links to it on my web site. Here is a direct link. http://ftp4.de.freesbie.org/pub/misc/wavelan/software/ORiNOCO/PC_Card/MacOS/ You want the file MacOS_63.bin. Use Stuffit expander to uncompress the file. This file adds a control strip module which lets you adjust the software settings. I want to remind you, that I do not have a computer using OS 8.1, so everything I say is from my old memory. If others are stilling using OS 8.1, please jump in to help. Its important to note, that your modem software installer may have placed something into the System file. While this is highly unlikely, if it did, then you will need to do a clean install of the OS. The Orinoco software does not like any modification to the System software. Sometimes it will complete its install, but nothing will work. This is covered on my Wireless FAQ. The key to solving your problem is to get wireless working before adding WEP. As I understand, you need 128bit WEP to access the network at work. It has been my experience that getting wireless to work on a PB 1400 or any other PB that uses card and socket services v2 is difficult. Don't worry about that, because it's in the ROMS and you cannot update it. While difficult, wireless can be installed on your 1400. I am typing this to you on a PB 1400 that I have set up with wireless. I can use either the Orinoco card or the Skyline card. I prefer the Skyline, but it only supports 64bit WEP. Just a note to others following this thread. It has been my experience that the Proxima/Faralon Skyline card software v3.1 is much more mature and user friendly than the Orinoco software. If you don't need WEP or can live with 64 bit WEP, then try the Skyline card. Be sure to read Derek Miller's great site to see how to install wireless on older PowerBook computer. http://www.penmachine.com/techie/airport1400print.html#top I hope this helps.

Re: PB 1400, OS 8.1 and Wi-fi
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 11:45:57 -0700 From: Roger Andre [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PB 1400, OS 8.1 and Wi-fi Snip I have set my Appletalk control panel to Connect Via: Ethernet, and the TCP/IP control panel to Connect Via: Ethernet as well. Aside from that, I'm not really sure what to do next. My IT staff at work has the following type of info listed on our support page: Hi Roger. I have never set up the Orinoco software under OS 8.1 but lets give this a try. First off, have you ever installed a PCMCIA ethernet card? If so, then that software for that card will keep the wireless card from working. To fix that problem you will need to do a clean install of the OS. See my FAQ page for more info on this. If you have not installed a ethernet card, lets see if this will help. First select the AppleTalk Control Panel and select Alternate Ethernet. You do not have to turn on AppleTalk, just point it to the Alternate Ethernet. In the TCP/IP Control Panel, Seclct Connect Via: Alternate Ethernet, Configure: Using DHCP Server. Then make sure you have Name Server Address listed. You can use 207.217.120.83, 207.217.77.82, 207.217.126.81. These are for Earthlink. Your IT Adminstrator may have given you other numbers, if so, use them. When you want to set up the WEP Pasphrase, enter the Hexadecimal value in the WaveLan software, with a $ (Dollar) sign in front of the Hex value. Use the first HEX value your IT admin gave you. Make sure you set the channel on your card, to the same channel you want to connect to. You may want to try to update your WaveLan software with v6.3, which ads a control panel to assist you in setting up a connection. This control pannel should let you see the signal you are trying to connect to. As for testing your card, it would help if you could go to some public wireless area, and see if you can connect to their signal with out WEP. If a friend has a laptop with wireless, he could set up a computer to computer connection (called Ad Hock) and you could try to connect. You need to make sure the card and software package are working before you work on the WEP. As I said before, the Orinoco software seems to work better under OS 8.6. I am sure others on this list have made it work under OS 8.1. I hope this helps. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

My understanding is that the popular Lucent/Orinoco cards require OS 9 or higher. Thanks, Spence Hi Spence. The Lucent/Orinoco will work from OS 8.1 to 9.2.2, but seem to work best with OS 8.6 or above. To use with OS 8.1 you will need v6 and or v6.3 of the Orinoco drivers.

Types of suitable Wireless PC cards for Powerbook 3400c
On Wed, 03 Aug 2005 ,Sorular [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asked 1) Would Netgear WG-511 work on my pb3400? The Netgear product site doesn't say anything about MacOS9 compatibility (http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WG511.php) but this model is the cheapest I could find on the market. Is there a way to get it working on my pb? I'm aware that I'll need to shave-off the the pc card a bit to get it fit into the pb IOXperts and Macsense have drivers that will work on your 3400 as long as you are using OS 8 or above. You will find links on my Wireless FAQ site to these drivers. Check their list of supported cards before you buy. You say you will have to shave off the end of the PC Card. This indicates you are looking at a cardbuss card. This type of card is not supported with these drivers. You need an origional 16Bit card. The specific card you linked to is 802.11g and will not work on your 3400 under any condition. You will be limited to 802.11b, unless you want to use a ethernet to wireless adaptor. It kinds of makes your 3400 less protable, but could be useful if you are using the pb as a desktop. If you are running OS 8.6 or above, you can use the AirPort v1.3.1 drivers. Andrew Kershaw has some great info on installing AirPort software on your PowerBook 3400. You may want to spend a little more money, and get a card which works with these drivers. Both Andrew's web site, and description of AirPort compatable cards are linked on my FAQ site. Their are at least 4 types of the Orinoco card that will work with the AirPort v1.3.1. Pictures and discriptions available on my FAQ. If not, than any of the cards listed on my FAQ will work with your PB. Are you planing to use WEP encryption? If so, what have you chosen to use, 40/64 or 128Bit? Some of the 16Bit cards support both, some only the 40/64. 2) Flash card on powerbooks been talked to death all over the internet but not quite in terms of its advantages and whether it's worth spending much funds on that (that I could find!). 1GB Compact Flash cards are selling local (local to me) for about $70. US. I use some in a PowerBook 1400 to switch out OS and test different wireless cards. A bit longer battery life. Cant tell if the preformance is better. But I like using them. Ram Doubler is a better solution for vm than compact flash cards. Hope this information helps. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Re: D-Link (wireless) for Powerbooks?
You may be able to use it with the software from MacSense or IOXperts. I beleave your PowerBook uses Card and Socket Services v3 which is required for these software pacakages. Both have free limited time use before you register. You should be using OS 8.6 or better with this software. Please let me know if it works. Software Links on my FAQ Wireless Page.

Wallstreet wont charge
Hello All. I thought I would pass a long my solution for my Wallstreet II (PDQ) that was not charging the battery. After replacing the charge card, power card and other parts, I found that the RF shield on the right side hinge of the PowerBook was just touching the outer shield of the power plug, when the AC power supply was pluged in. When I removed the AC power supply, the withdraw of the plug would pull the shield back into proper position. The shield is a small piece of copper tape with a glue backing. With age, this glue dried out. Sealing the shield to its support with some contact glue solved the problem, and the PowerBook now charges fine. The moral to this story: Read the repair manual before taking it apart. This symptom and the repair was in the manual. I just did not catch the problem because every time I had the book apart, the shields seemed to be in place. I hope someone can learn from my mistake. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

I've e-mailed Orinoco Support about this but have had no response except to say that I will get a response! I did track down an earlier version of the driver and am using it but would like the features of v7.2. Anybody else ever confront this problem? Thanks for all past, present and future expertise! -Bill I have documented a problems similar to this on my wireless FAQ site. See question 5. Try the solutions listed. Download same version of the installer from a different location. Additional locations listed on my web site. This problem is only with the early PowerBooks which use card and socket services v2.

Re: Powerbook 1400 Weirdness

If it is shut off when I plug it in, it starts automatically without me hitting the start button. SNIP Thanks. John John, the problem sounds exactly like a low PRAM battery. You said that your put in a new PRAM battery, was this battery new or used? I have purchased a used but good PRAM battery and it did not help. I finally put in two new PRAM batteries (the 1400/166 uses two). This solved my problems. I also had a Wallstreet acting weird, and when I replaced the PRAM battery, all the weird went away. Ken Vann Thanks for the reply. The pram battery is used and I was afraid of that. Would the lack of a good main battery have an effect on the power manager reset? John Hi John. In my expierence, the lack of a good Main battery will not affect your problems. A new PRAM battery will cost you about $16.00 plus shipping. By the way, even with two new PRAM batteries in my 1400/166, I cannot change the main battery while in sleep mode. The Apple manual says I should be able to, but the computer will not fully wake up from sleep. I figure that while both were new, one was fresher than the other. I did buy one off ebay, and one from an Apple Service Dealer, ( nice dealer, most wont sell you a part). My 1400/166 now keeps the settings for TCP/IP and AppleTalk between shutdowns, and between main battery changes. I did put in a Sonnet G3 accelerator, but that made no difference in the original problem. Some of the desktops also act weird when the PRAM battery is low. A person I met at last night user group meeting has a Blue White G3, that she is afraid to shut down. It takes forever to start back up. She has been putting it in sleep mode for 5 months. I advised her to get a PRAM (1/2AA Lithium) battery also. These are available at her local Radio Shack, but way overpriced at $15.00. However when you only need one, then it does not make sense to ship it in. You can get new fresh PB PRAM batteries from here at a good price: http://www.powerbookguy.com/1400.html I hope this helps.

Re: Powerbook 1400 Weirdness
From: John Kocijanski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Powerbook 1400 Weirdness My newly acquired PB 1400 is acting a bit weird. If it is shut off when I plug it in, it starts automatically without me hitting the start button. When it comes up all the way the screen goes black and I have to press the brightness button to get it to come back. All this happens after I zap the pram with Tech Tool. The reason I used Tech Tool is because I can not zap the pram using the keyboard. When I try that the screen goes black after a restart and the sleep light comes on steady. After I reset the power manager it works fine until I unplug it. When I plug it in again the sleep light comes on steady and I have to restart it with the power manager button. If I leave it plugged in all the time it starts up fine. I have reset the power manager several times with the battery in and out as well as plugged in and unplugged for up to one minute. I also replaced the pram battery. The clock does not reset itself but other settings like the memory cache and highlight color get reset sometimes. I'm not sure what else I can do.

What is the name of it? Thank you, Bill Hi Bill. For your EtherNet card, look for a Farallon EtherMac PCMCIA Ethernet card. They come up all the time on ebay, run about $10. Drivers are available on my web site for them, or drivers are available here. http://www.proxim.com/support/all/maccard/software/index.html You will want the one with the Red Arrow on the front of card (model 595a). This is the later version and more compatable. There is one with a Blue Arrow on the front, and it will work, but I have only used the 595a model. By the way, this card was made by 3Com, so if you have a 3Com dongel, it will work with this card. Its 10baseT, but with the approiate 3Com dongel, you can connect to a Thinnet or Thicknet network if nessary. For your PCMCIA Wireles card, my web site will have tons of information on cards that are compatable with your PowerBook. If you are running OS 8.6 or above, you can use the Apple Airport drivers v1.3.1. and a compatable card. Their is a list of Airport Compatable cards on my wireless FAQ site. Otherwise, any Orinoco compatable card will be useable. The Skyline card is also a good choice, but only if you dont have the need for 128 bit WEP. It only supports 64 bit WEP. For a USB Card, I have used the early Belkin (USB v1.1 only) with the Apple drivers. Others should be able to guide you on this topic as I don't have you model of PowerBook.

Are there any WiFi cards that are compatible? Please help. Caleb The Proxim Skyline Documents (v3.1) state that the 190 is supported. The Orinoco Documents (v6.00.4) states that the 190 is supported. Based on my experience, the Skyline v3.1 software is more mature for your 190 than the Orinoco (v6.00.4) when using OS8. If you are able to run OS 8.6, only then would I recommend the Orinoco software. Please note that the Skyline software only supports 64Bit WEP, while the Orinoco supports 64 128Bit WEP. You can find links to the software and manuals for both cards on my Wireless FAQ Site. As for dial up modem, any full PCMCIA modem is usable. It must be a full modem, not a WIN Modem. I have had good luck with modems by Zoom and Supra. The Zoom is still available new, but the Supra is only available used. Also any stand alone modem will work, again it must not be a WIN Modem. You just need a Mac specific cable. As for EtherNet card, a Farallon EtherMac card works well under OS 8. They are available used on ebay.

Re: PB1400 Wireless Answers
On 2/27 Fluster [EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted answers I submitted to the group about wireless on a PB 1400 back in January. I have found out that some of that information was wrong. Listed below is the quote and a correction to that quote. Ken Vann Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2005 16:51:38 -0500 From: Fluxstringer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fwd: PB1400 Wireless Answers Here is a post on this subject from January this year. Snip The Skyline card software is more Mac like. The Mac compatible Skyline is available New and used. It supports many models from OS 7.5.5 to 9.2.2. I recommend System Software 8.6 and Skyline software v3.1 for your PB1400. When purchasing a Skyline, you must get the correct one, as there are some Skyline wireless card's that are for Windows only. The Proxim Skyline card also supports 128 bit encryption. Correction: The Proxim Skyline card, for Macintosh, only supports 40/64 Bit WEP encryption. Version 3.1 of the Skyline software only supports HEX passwords that are 10 characters long. The Skyline software will correctly translate a plain text password that you put into a original Graphite Base Station, (or a Snow, if set to 40/64 Bit WEP) so you don't need to know what the Network Equivalent Password is. When connecting to a Airport Base Station, and using a HEX password provided by the Base Station Administrator, the Skyline software Does Not require a HEX Escape before the password. I hope this error did not cause any problems. All other information about the Skyline for Macintosh is correct.

Re: WEP Encription with Orinoco Software
From: Beniamino Cenci Goga [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: WEP Encription with Orinoco Software Has any one had a similar experience? I am beginning to think that the Orinoco v7.2 software does not support 128 bit encryption. It does, I use it on the 5300ce with the Silver upgraded to gold according to my web page. I guess it is a problem of digits: did you check the Airport utility to get the exact WEP string? Did you reboot the Mac after changing the string? Let me know, Bengi Hi. I got it working.

WEP Encription with Orinoco Software
Hello All. I have a problem and need your assistance. I have received a used Snow Base Station and I am trying to connect to it via wireless with my PowerBook 1400 and the Orinoco v7.2 drivers. I can connect and surf the web with WEP off, or with WEP set to 40/64 bit encryption, but not with it set to 128 bit. If I change PCMCIA cards, the result is the same. I have a Lucent WaveLan Gold, and a DYI Wireless. Both are marked as supporting 128RC4 encription. When I use them in my Wallstreet with the Apple Airport software v2.0.2, I can connect with the WEP set to 128 bit. Everything works great. If I change start up disk, and start up from a disk with the Orinoco software, then the Wallstreet has the same problem as the 1400. The Equivalent Network Password works fine with 40/64 bit encryption, but not with 128 bit. The Orinoco software requires a HEX excape before the password, but I have put that in (zero-x). I have retyped it several times with no success. I have also checked and made sure I use a Airport password of the right length for WEP. 5 letters/numbers for 40/64 WEP and 13 for 128. I used the JAVA Base Station configuration software to look at the Snow Base Station and check its WEP password. The only difference in it as compaired to the Airport Software was that the Equivalent Network Password is in lower case when viewed with the JAVA tools, and in upper case when viewed with the Airport tools. Does that make a difference? Both PowerBooks are running OS 9.1. Has any one had a similar experience? I am beginning to think that the Orinoco v7.2 software does not support 128 bit encryption. By the way, the Skyline software does not support 128 bit WEP encription. Thank for all your help. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Wireless for 2400c
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 09:21:31 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Wireless for 2400c I've equipped my trusty 2400/180/80/6G/9.1with a Dell TrueMobile 802.11b wireless card. After letting the Orinoco installer do its thing, the card is recognized as a Gold card and the signal from my Airport Extreme base station is picked up, nice and strong. Unfortunately, however, that's where I was and still am: I haven't been able to go on the net. Any time I configure TCP/IP (either through DHCP or manually), after an attempt to connect, I find the settings changed: it looks as though the book itself puts in some weird IP address, subnet mask and router address. Any ideas as how to overcome this problem? Thanks, Peter Dijkwel Ok lets see if this will help. First, check the Orinoco control strip. It must have green bars, (that look like a signal strength meter on a cell phone), to be connected to the Wireless Network. If not then WEP may be your problem. Next you need to put a DNS server address in the bottom of the TCP/IP Window. This will be in the field that says Name Server Addr.: Your ISP will give you this number. A common DNS server is 207.217.120.83 for Earthlink, and 204.127.129.1 for ATT. Use the numbers your ISP gives you. Then you Set up the rest as follows: Configure using DHCP Server: DHCP Client ID: leave blank IP Address: Will be supplied by server Subnet Mask: Will be supplied by server Router Address: Will be supplied by server Additional Search Domains: Leave Blank unless you ISP says otherwise. Give it about a minute for the Apple Base Station to serve you an DHCP Client ID, and then you should be able to go on the internet. Ken Vann == Old Macs have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Wireless for 3400
Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 19:18:22 -0600 From: Jared Noska [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Wireless for 3400 Hi- Could some one direct me to some good wireless cards for the 3400? Do they make just B cards or G as well for them? I'm new to this wireless, as I just got my first Airport card, so excuse my ignorance here :^). Thanks-Jared Hi Jarred Take a look at my Wireless FAQ. Any of the Lucent WaveLan (or most oem versions), MacWireless and the Skyline will be a good choice. You will only be able to use a b card. If you get a Lucent WaveLan Gold, Lucent Orinoco Gold, Agree Orinoco Gold, Proxim Classic Gold or a YDI Diamond card, you will be able to use the Airport Software v1.3.1 on your 3400. If not, then the Orinoco v7.2 will work just fine. This assumes that your OS is at least v8.6. The Gold card is 128 Bit Encryption.The Silver is 40/64 Bit. The Silver can be upgraded, but why go through the process if you haven't bought one yet. Be careful when buying Proxim Orinoco Gold cards, only the Clasic version supports Mac. The Farallon Proxim versions of the Skyline cards are a good choice also. The Proxim versions support 128 Bit Encryption, the Farallon versions have a flasher to upgrade to 128 Bit. Both version support OS 7.5.5 through 9.2.2 with v3.1 of their software. You have to be careful to get a Mac version of the card, as some were made for Windows only. Detail's on my FAQ site. MacWireless is pricer, but they have a 16-Bit high power card (and a regular power card) available that works on the Classic OS from 7.5.5 to 9.2.2. If you are looking for more power, the MacWireless high power is the one to go with. The MacWireless people origionaly designed the Farallon and Proxim Skyline cards. Their are some links on the bottom of my FAQ page for where to buy including a link to a retailer who has the Mac version of a Proxim Skyline card in stock, new in box. Hope this helps.

PB1400 Wireless Answers
Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 23:42:34 -0500 From: Fluxstringer [EMAIL PROTECTED] I changed the subject line on this spinoff thread as someone should have a while back. So perhaps the one concerning the 1400 can continue. I'm interested the 1400 relevant wifi and tired of reading posts aimed at the other models. Forgive my ignorance here. It is hard for me to know the overlap of what will work from model to model as i don't have a stack of powerbooks in the closet. So more concerning PB1400 under the former subject line please. Well to start with, we should choose a software which will work on your older PowerBook. If you don't already have a wireless card, their are 4 choices. Orinoco, Skyline, Asante, MacWireless. Software for all of these will work on a PowerBook 1400. Orinoco and Skyline are the most common but out of production, Asante is out of production, MacWireless is in production. This email will cover the Orinoco and Skyline as they are the most common. The Asante is hard to find, and the MacWireless cost more. For help in installing wireless on a PB1400 ,start with my Wireless FAQ Page. There you will find all the software links you need, and my personal experience on the problems I encountered putting wireless on my PB1400. You can also read Derek Miller great site about his experience with a PowerBook 1400. Its the first link on my site. The PB1400 can be tricky to get to wireless if you have ever installed software for a PCMCIA or Internal Ethernet card. This is a problem with all PowerBooks that use Card Socket Services v2. CSS2 can not be updated, it is in the Roms. Most any of the Lucent WaveLan, Proxim Orinoco Classic Gold and OEM/clones listed on my FAQ will work. These cards are available new and used. I recommend System Software 8.6 and Orinoco software v7.2 for your PB1400. Several people have reported that the Orinoco installer will not complete the installation on a PB1400. This is covered in the Troubleshooting section on my Wireless FAQ. Also if you chose to use this card type, make sure you get one which is 128 bit encryption. The back of the card will say 128RC4 somewhere on the label. The Skyline card software is more Mac like. The Mac compatible Skyline is available New and used. It supports many models from OS 7.5.5 to 9.2.2. I recommend System Software 8.6 and Skyline software v3.1 for your PB1400. When purchasing a Skyline, you must get the correct one, as there are some Skyline wireless card's that are for Windows only. The Proxim Skyline card also supports 128 bit encryption. See my FAQ site for photos and a FCC ID Number for the correct one sold under the Proxim Skyline name. I don't have Photos or a confirmed FCC ID Number for the one sold as the Farallon Skyline. This card is still available under the MacWireless name as they provided the software to Farallon. It's a bit more expensive if you buy it new from them versus shop on ebay for a new or used one from Proxim. Both of these software and card packages will connect to any 802.11b or 802.11g base station. Both are compatible with the Airport Base Stations. And you can configure a Graphite or Snow Base station with the Airport Base Station Utility or Java configuration tools on your PB 1400 using eithor card. If you need help, you may contact me direct. I will be glad to help you with it. By the way, for those list members who know about my Wireless FAQ site, I have updated it today. New phonographs of many of the Mac Comparable cards, updated Proxim Wireless info, Updated links to Farallon EtherMac and Farallon NetLine Ethernet Software.

Trying to get my PB1400 working on a wireless system. Thanks, Wayne Hi Wayne The 802.11a/b/g combo cards are not supported with the older PowerBooks under the Classic OS. Any of the Lucent WaveLan or OEM of Lucent will work well on your PowerBook 1400, with OS 8.6 and Oricono v7.2 software. However I do perfer a Farallon Skyline, or Proxim Skyline wireless cards for older Macintosh Powerbooks (pre G3). Their are servial different models of Skyline cards, but only a small number of them work with Macintosh. The software is much more Mac like than the Orinoco. See my Wireless FAQ for info on how to identify the correct Skyline card. Be sure to read my Wireless FAQ Troublshooting sections on the PowerBook 1400. It is my own expierence troubleshooting mine and my friends Powerbook 1400's. The 1400 is tricky to install wireless (only tricky if you have ever installed a Ethernet card) but once you have it set up, it works great. Ken Vann == Old Macs have new uses with WiFi.

Re: New PowerBook 1400cs/133 with floppy problems
On Dec 7, 2004 Kirk Z wrote: I recently obtained a great condition PowerBook 1400cs/133 from a local trash bin. I have both a CD-ROM and a floppy. I think the floppy may have been working before although I cannot remember. I used the CD-ROM to install Mac OS 9.1 as my copy of 8.5 had problems (download copy). Everything works great except when I insert the floppy I get an error saying, The correct software you need to use the PC Card in the Expansion Bay is not installed. Do you want to eject the card now? Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get this to work? Thanks. The error message you have is usually when the software for a PCMCIA PC Card is not installed or damaged. I have never seen it occur with a floppy disk, but I have the following suggestions. Your PowerBook must be in Sleep Mode, or OFF, to change the Floppy Expansion Bay Module. If you are getting this error message when inserting a floppy disk into the floppy drive, then either the floppy disk is bad, or your install of the OS is bad. Switching between Floppy and CD-ROM Expansion Bays can sometimes be troublesome if you have Energy Savings set to low. Use you Apple System Profiler to see if it sees the floppy drive. If not then check the contact on the rear of the Expansion Bay Module and see if any are damaged or missing. Also check the contacts in the PowerBook and see if there is any damage. Last but not least. The PowerBook 1400 only accepts Expansion Bay Modules in the Right Hand Bay. A extra battery may be installed in the right hand bay for storage, but it does not charge in that bay. If it is the floppy disk, e-mail me off list, as I have a extra good working Floppy Expansion Bay Module. Ken Vann == Old Macs have new uses with WiFi.

Re: Help needed with proposed airport network
This is one way to do it, but prehaps not the correct way. As you want to use the 7600 as you router, you will need a software router (IP Net Router) to make that work. You might have to add another Ethernet card to the 7600 unless you are using a modem to connect to the Internet. A better way to go is with a stand alone hardware router, like the Snow Base Station, or other, which will let you share your internet with both the wireless and wired machines. As the 7600 and iMac are not portable machines, this should not be a problem. This is should work with either dial up or DSL/Cable. The cost of the IP Net Router and a used Snow Base Station is about the same. If it is not practicable to run wires between the 7600/iMac and the Base Station, then a Ethernet wireless adaptor should work. There are some links on my FAQ to a Dlink product that will work under OS 9. You might be able to find one of the PCI adaptor cards for the WaveLan PC Card you already have. If so, this could be used to put the 7600 on wireless. Farallon/Proxim also had a Skyline PCI Card which used the Skyline PC card to put a PCI slot Mac on wireless. If you found a Farallon/Proxim PCI adaptor, then you could use the Skyline PC card you already have, and convert the PB5300c to use one of the extra WaveLan Gold cards. Please let me know what your final solution is.

Re: 3400, browser, JS and no PayPal - confused!
Paypal and its parent eBay upgrade their software (the new eBay 2.0) on or about June 5, 2004. They no longer fully support Mac OS 9 browsers. Their new eBay 2.0 is designed to work with Windows computers only. They wont admit this, but that is what has happened. Here is what I have found out that does not work with Paypal. iCab, cannot change funding source, it gives you a new page asking to add a new bank account. Unable to complete payments because of this. Cannot send a trouble report by their web based system, buttons don't work when you try to send the report. Prior to this upgrade, iCab worked in all functions. iCab version 2.9.7 2.9.8 IE, pages don't load, buttons don't work, this varies from day to day as Paypal changes the coding on each page. Unable to complete payments because of this. Prior to this upgrade, IE works in all functions. IE version 5.1.7 Opera, will work but I don't like it. Opera v6.0.3 Netscape, have not tried it, but was advised by Paypal support that it has problems also. Netscape v7.02 In iCab, eBay will lock up computer with large amounts of disk activity and expand ram usage ( from 3-4mb to 40+ mb) when you have more that 3 tabs open. This experience was with a PB1400/G3/466 upgrade and OS 8.6 9.1 and an iMac/rev a, with OS8.6 and 256mb ram (with iMac its about 5 tabs open before I get problems). With more than three tabs open, it can take up to 5 minutes of disk activity to open or close a tab. When I created filters to cut down on some of the advertisements, ebay started downloading 5k and 10k PDF files which were the ads I was trying to block. I guess this is what push advertising is. Push the adds to the viewer no mater what. I deleted my filters and deselected the PDF viewer in iCab to stop this. No other web site I have been to has ever done this. Prior to eBay v2.0 upgrade this was not a problem. Its important to note that of all the browsers for the Mac and OS9 or below, only iCab is still being upgraded. A good reason to support shareware. There are thousands if not millions of Mac users with G3 and G4 machines running various flavors of OS 9 or below. These users do not want to upgrade to OSX, some cannot upgrade, but their Mac's are fully capable of surfing the web. There is no reason not to support these users. This is not a problem where your machine is underpowered, this is a coding problem. They are using HTML to preform functions as though it was an application. Please call Paypal customer service line and let them know you want them to support Mac's and OS 9. PayPal US toll-free at: 1-888-221-1161 or please call 1-402-935-2107. Avrage hold time 30 minutes. Ken Vann Hello, all, I'm hoping your joint expertise can puzzle this one out. Our 3400's have always been hideously slow - to the point of choking - on some websites such as ebay. In particular, https seems to kill things. In the end I found that using iCab turning off JS made ebay bearable. But now, all of a sudden, I can't pay for anything with PayPal. I'm not aware of any changes that I've made , but its been a few months since I last tried. Any one else got this problem or is it just me? What happens is that it fails at the last 'review and confirm' screen - I click pay and it returns me to the same screen , or back to the start of the payment process in Ebay. Doesn't make any difference whether I start from ebay or paypal to do this. Looks like a JS problem? Except that its still no good even with JS on. Now I'm not sure if its either a problem with my particular machine, or all old macs/browsers. I have tried IE 5 and Communcator 4.7 with the same effect. Any ideas anyone? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Airport setup
Hi. Bruce. You should be able to control and configure the ABS from the wired or wireless side. I think this link will tell you how to configure the ABS via the Ethernet port http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58584 Apple's Base Station configuration software will run under OS 8.6 if you use version 1.3.1. However some times it wont let you set all the settings. Some choices may be greyed out. Be sure to check out the Java utilities that let you configure the ABS. With MRJ 2.1.1,and above,they will work on OS 8 or above. I am at work so I don't have access to all my links, but you should be able to find a link to the Java utilities from here: http://www.vonwentzel.net/ABS/index.html or here. http://edge.mcs.drexel.edu/GICL/people/sevy/airport/ I have been playing with the Java utilities for a couple of days, and I like them. The Airport Base Station Configurator sets the WEP to a HEX password, so you may have to put 0x in the front of any password on the PowerBook's. For the Graphite ABS your HEX key should be 10 charters plus 0x, for a total of 12. You may want to be able to have the base station to dial out the modem from the wired side, so check out the ABS Modem Utility here http://www.catsincharge.com/programs/ I find it easer to control the dial out over letting it auto dial when I launch a browser. I wonder, are you going to try an put you 540 on Wireless?? Ken Vann From: Bruce Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Airport setup Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 11:58:23 -0700 Hopefully these lists have the answer...

Re: which Netscape for PB 1400 G3 OS 8.6??
Hello all Thanks for all your help with the 1400 for my Dad. Glad its working. How does he like it? Then I started from WirelessOS and installed the Orinoco 7.2 driver and it worked perfectly with the YDI wireless Diamond card (P/N 012606/B). You will like that card, if you ever upgrade your Dad to say a Wallstreet, that card will work with the AirPort Software in OS 9. No more partitions. Now I'm loading software and am wondering if I should go for Netscape 6.2.2 or if Netscape 7.02 would be better. 7.02 has some nice features (pop-up blocking and better security) I was thinking that 7.02 would take more RAM (I've only got 64 MB) but after installing 6.2 on the 1400 I see it takes 28 Mb which is the same as 7.02 takes on the G3 Lombard. Is there any reason not to use 7.02? I would use the Netscape as a back up only. Or even IE 5 as a backup. Use iCab as your main brouser. It will run in much smaller ram requirement. You can add filters to stop ads, and control the java scrips that open those pop up's. iCab does not support CSS3 yet, and it does have problems with ebay and paypal (those pages are resource hogs) on small memory machines, but you should be able to use it in most cases. The tabs feature is great for the small screen PowerBook. I use it in about 95% of the sites I go to on a daily basis. For email, I use Eudora 3.1. Very small ram requirement.Runs in OS 6.05 to 9.2.2. Spellchecker for Eudora, I use Spell Tools. Arocbat Reader, v4 or 5 your choice. If you can find a copy of Ram Doubler 9, that works great in OS 8.6 and will give you some more headroom. And then if you have a copy of Claris Works/Apple Works 4 or 5, then that should cover all other needs. If you want to get fancy, you can configure a shareware dock, like A-Dock, to do the same functions as the Launcher (or the Dock in OS X), and take up less screen room. I have mine set to as small as possable, when the mouse passes over it, it pops up. Ken Vann -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: PB 1400 and internal ethernet card
Hi Andrew. You can use a wireless card with a PowerBook 1400 and also have it set up for wired Ethernet. It just takes a little different configuration to make them coexist with each other. If you have already installed software for a Internal or PCMCIA Ethernet card, you will have to do a Clean Install of the OS to get the wireless card to work. On PowerBooks that support Card Socket Services 2 (the 190,1400, 5300 and perhaps the 500 series) they will only support one alternate network at a time. The wireless software installer writes data to the System File (modifies the System File). If you do a Update of the OS, this data is preserved (or supose to be). This is why you have to do a Clean Install when you have wired Ethernet already on the PowerBook. Once the Orinoco v7.2 software is installed, you should see the selection of Orinoco instead of Alternate Ethernet in your AppleTalk Control Panel. After completing the installation, shut down your PowerBook, insert the wireless card, and restart your PowerBook. If all goes well, the driver will load, the icon of the card will be green/white and the Control Strip will show you have a card installed. In my case, with my PB 1400, I have set up a compact flash card with a clean install of the OS and the Wireless software. I use alias to link to files on the hard disk. I also get longer battery life when using the flash card, and have Eudora and iCab on the flash card. A 250mb flash card will hold all of the software you need to get on line, and have space left over. If you are realy tight and dont install things like speech, then you might even be able to set one up with a 128mb flash card. I know a 128mb is roomy with OS 8.1, as I set one up for my buddy/s PB1400/117. Instead of using a Compact Flash card to be a start up disk, you could partition the hard disk to allow two System Folders, and use the Start Up Disk Control Panel to choose between the two. Install wireless software on one, and the wired software on the other. Or you might be able to make a copy of the unmodified System file and replace it with a modified copy of the one for wireless, and do the same with the wired Ethernet. Replacing the System file requires you to restart each time, so I don't see any advantage in doing this over the use of a Compact Flash card, other than the cost of the card and adaptor. Installing the Orinoco v7.2 wireless software can be tricky. This past saturday, I installed the drivers on a flash card and the installer locked up. I found that if I started up from a disk other than the flash card (the one I wanted to install to), the installer ran fine. This was in OS 8.6. Also, I have noticed that sometime the Orinoco control strip shows a X through it even though the card is installed and working. This happened on some when the PC Card is inserted after startup. It does not happen when the card is inserted before startup. About Ethernet cards, I use the Farallon PCMCIA Ethernet card, and I know the installation of it's drivers will prevent the wireless software from Asante, Skyline, and Orinoco from installing and working. I do not have a internal Ethernet card, but it's drivers may stop the wireless drivers from installing. If its is a Apple internal ethernet card then try removing the card before you do a Clean Install. Try this only after you have done all else, and see if it will let you install the wireless drivers with the card removed. One other note, the wireless card does not have to be in the PowerBook to run the installer. Please keep the list posted with you results about installing wireless on you PB1400. I am sure there are others that are intrested.

Subject: Re: Wireless options for 1400 with G3 and OS 8.6?
Hello Andrew. Glad to see you got the PB 1400 up and running for your dad. I use the Proxim Skyline card and have some info that may help you. The Proxim Skyline Wireless card works well with the Apple Airport Base Station. The only problem you will have is you cannot configure WEP over the wireless network unless you have the Apple Airport software running on a Mac with a Airport card or a Compatible Lucent or YDL Wireless card. I think you can configure the base station for WEP if you hook it up via a Ethernet cable and use the Airport Base Station Software on a Mac without Airport. This is a problem I need to look into this weekend. I also will be trying some of the Java utilities to see how they work with older PowerBooks. Once the Base Station is configured for WEP then the Skyline card will have no problems. Just when configuring your Base Station, be sure to write down the HEX equivalent password, so you don't have any problems connecting with other wireless software in the future. The Skyline will take the ASCII password you put into the Base Station with out problem. If you don't want WEP then no problems. The Skyline card has very good software, a Mac like interface, and connects without problem every time I use it. The slim antenna make it a good choice if using a compact flash card to extend battery life, or memory. Just remember, it is impossible to get a PB1400 to support wireless and wired Ethernet at the same time. Has to do with card and socket services v2 (There are ways around this, if needed). My FAQ has links to the Skyline Orinoco docs if you want to check them out. This E-mail is sent from a PB1400 with a Skyline card and Sonnet G3 accelerator under OS 8.6.

Re: Wireless PCMCIA cards
The Proxim Skyline Card, model 473a, will work fine in a G3 Powerbook running OS 8.1 to 9.2.2. Shareware or freeware drivers are needed to use in OSX. The 473a card is a 16-Bit PCMCIA card. You can identify the 473a card by the FCC ID # PD5LMWP100 on the back label of the card. Also it should have a sticker on the back of the antenna that says Copyright 2000, Proxim Inc. Not all Skyline cards are Mac compatible. The majority of Skyline cards on eBay are not mac compatable. They use a different chip set and drivers are only available for Windows computers.

Re: PRAM Batteries for PB 1400
New PRAM batteries can be had new for less than $20.00 each with the wiring already made up. http://www.powerbookguy.com/1400.html The PB 1400 takes eithor 1 or 2 PRAM batteries, depending on your model. Remove the expansion bay cd rom/floppy and the main battery, look up into the top of the computer and you will see eithor 1 or 2 black plastic parts, this is the PRAM batteries. They are under these plastic covers. A pain to change, but it can be done. I have done two. My first, I bought the battery from a Apple dealer, $50.00+ each, my second, I bought the batterys from powerbookguy.com. Live and learn.

Wireless PC Card Compatability List
Hello All, I have a request. Listers who have Powerbook's which were not made for Apple's built in Airport card, how about sending me information on the wireless PC card you use. I want to build a list of cards that are copies or clones of the Lucent/Agree/Orinoco/Proxim cards that will work in older Mac's. I want to be able to identify compatability by FCC ID number, and eliminate guesswork when trying to purchase a new or used card. If someone knows of such a list, or already has one, please point me to it. Please follow the format of the Diamond card I listed below. Be sure to include the FCC ID # off the card and what software you use (OS and software to control the card). With the FCC ID #, I can look up the card manufacturer and fill in missing information. FCC id look up page: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ It's possible that cards with different names, sold in different markets, or private branded cards, will have the same FCC ID # and thus be supported by the Airport or Orinoco software. Please send all PC card information to me direct. In about 30-60 days I hope to have a list of compatible cards for use on older Macs. PC Card Information Example: Card Name: Diamond Card Web site: www.ydi.com Vendor: YDI Wireless Vendor Address: 8000 Lee Highway, Falls Church VA 22024 Vendor Phone: 703-205-0600 Vendor Part #: 012606/B FCC ID #NM5-A2400S Description: 16-Bit (PCMCIA), 128 Encryption, Rom#8.52 Compatible Drivers Under OS 8.x - 9.x: Yes, Orinoco Compatible With Airport Drivers under OS 9.x: Yes, (Tested 2.0.2 2.0.4) Compatible Drivers under OSX: Not Known Compatible With Airport Drivers Under OSX: Not Known Thanks to all.

Problems with Wireless on PB 1400 (Update)
Hello. I have been away from my email for about two weeks. Too much work in my life. However all of you which are having problems with wireless should review the following which I sent some time back to the list. I bet some of the problems are due because, at some time, you had a wired ethernet card and its software installed on the PB1400. Card and Socket Services v2 will trip you up every time. I have used the Skyline and Orinoco cards and software. While the Skyline has a lot more Mac Like interface, the Orinoco will work. I have only used the Orinoco on a Wallstreet as I saw no need to use it on my PB1400 once I bought the Skyline Cards. However, others have used the Orinoco software on PB 1400 with out problems. Check out this link: http://www.penmachine.com/techie/airport1400.html I hope this helps. If you need more information into how I fixed my problem, email me direct. Ken Vann Best single URL I've found: http://www.penmachine.com/techie/airport1400.html Hello all. I have my PB1400 up on wireless. The link above is great, but some extra things you need to know about. It took me about a year of trying different things until I was sucesful. 1) If you have a earler powerbook that uses Card and Socket Services 2, (I beleave the 190, 1400 5300 only) then you can only support one alternate ethernet network at a time. My PB 1400 supports only Localtalk, IR-Talk, and only one ethernet at a time. If you install software for a PCMCIA ethernet card, then remove the software and install wireless software, it wont work on wireless. You can remove the wireless software and reinstall the ethernet software and your PCMCIA ethernet card will work again. If you install software for a diferent brand of PCMCIA ethernet card, having removed the first brand of PCMCIA ethernet card software, the second card and software wont work. With Card Socket Services (CSS2), The installers write data to the system file, and the only way to get it to change is to clean install the OS. Update the OS won't do it. A special thanks goes out to Asante tech suport for this information. I purchased one of there cards, and they refunded my money when I could not get it to coexist with wired ethernet. There is a workaround listed below for this problem. 2) The Appletalk Control Panel in my Powerbook 1400 has the folowing selections, Remote Only, Infrared (IR Talk), Modem/Printer Port and Alternet Ethernet. If you have installed a version of AOL dial up software, you will also have a listing for AOL Link Enhanced. This AOL software does not affect your ability to add wireless. 3) Not every configuration of software, OS and wireless cards will work. I was unable to get the software from Proxim/Orinoco for Lucent based cards to work on my PB1400. The installer would only install the installer log and nothing else. I tried to manual install the componets, and all it did was lock up my PB1400. The best guru at my local Mac User Group could not figure it out, even with a identical PB1400 up on the Proxim software using a Dell wireless card connecting to the user group wireless network. 4) Try a different card using a Prism2 chipset. The Faralon brand of Skyline cards, Proxim brand of Skyline cards (Proxim accuired these from Faralon), and the MacWireless cards all use this chipset. I dont know what chipset the Asante cards use, so email their tech support if you need to know. Both the Faralon and Proxim brand of Skyline cards are out of production, so shop around to find them. Asante and Macwireless are in production and available. 5) The people who started Macwireless are former Faralon employees. Try their software and see if it fixes your problem. This tip from Macwireless Tech Suport. 6) Workaround for both wireless and wired ethernet. I have set up two PB1400 with wireless and wired ethernet using the following workaround. Partition your hard drive into 2 volumes and intall system software on each volume. One partition suports wired ethernet, the other you install the wireless software. Switch back and forth as you need using the Startup Disk Control Panel. Or use a Compact Flash card as a start up disk with the wireless software installed and keep your hard disk set up with the ethernet wired software. If you don't need or don't want wired ethernet capbility, then you do not have to partition your drive, just try a card and software based on the Prism chipset. 7) Details on PB1400 setup expiernce. On one PB1400/117, System 8.1, 16mb ram 750mb hard disk, and Faralon PCMCIA Wired Ethernet Card. I used a Viking 128mb compact flash card with OS 8.1 and the Skyline v3 drivers. Used the Proxim version of the Skyline card. Worked great. On the other PB1400, System 8.6, Sonnet G3/466, and Faralon PCMCIA Wired Ethernet Card. I use a 1gb Viking compact flash card, with OS 9.1 and Skyline v3 drivers. Used the Proxim version of the Skyline card. Worked great. On both of these machines I use the Proxim version of the Skyline card

What do people think of the SkyLine software?
What do people think of the SkyLine software? I was thinking about adding a comparison of the software and cards to my FAQ. Maybe I'll pick up a SkyLine card at some point and do an Apples-to-Apples comparison. ;-) Peace, Drew That would be great if you could do a report and post to your FAQ here. I would also be intrested if anyone has had the SlyLine card working under OSX (slightly off topic), or a compairson to the MacWireless software. I have been told that MacWireless was formed by former employees of Faralon, the origional developer of the SkyLine card. I have used both the Orinoco and the SkyLine v3.1 software the SkyLine is much easer to configure that the Orinoco. I have not used the Airport software so no compairson available. I helped a friend configure a Orinoco Gold card ($89.00 @ CDW, She did not ask me before she purchased) and it is NOT rock solid reliable. With a clean install of OS 9.1 on a Wallstreet, she must have the card inserted for startup. She still can not get it to see her Belkin wirellss router at home, but I think that is a configuration problem. When ejecting and reinserting the card, computer sees card but refused to connect to my card. Restart and all is well. Connected her laptop to my PB1400 with no problem when I got it working. I use v3.1 of the skyline software and it works great. I run it on a compact flash card, with OS 9.1 on a PB 1400 with Sonnet g3. Its interface window is much less confusing that the Orinoco. I have set up the same card on OS 8.1 and OS8.6 with no problem, other that making sure that software for wired ethernet had not been installed. This problem is specific to those PowerBooks which use Card and Socket Services v2. (I beleave the 190, 1400 5300 only) Proxim has a beta version of the SkyLine software specific to OS 9.1 posted, but its not likely its still being developed. When I tried it this weekend, I froze my PB1400 when the computer started up with the card removed. Froze when ejected, and just messed with my OS so much I nuked and paved the CF card and started from scratch.

Farallon SkyLINE Wireless PC Card and 1400
Hello. It sounds like the skyline software is bad. The fuzzy images of the card icon is the key. What version of the skyline software are you using? In the Appletalk control panel did you select Alternet Ethernet? Did you run the installer or just drop the bits into the system folder? Run the installer, deinstall the software, restart OS, then run the installer again, restart again and try card. The PB 1400 uses Card Socket services v2.1 and requires that only one ethernet software be installed. If you have ever installed software for a wired ethernet card, this could be your problem. To fix this do a clean install of the OS, not an update. Can you do a clean install of the OS and then a clean install of the software? I have a Proxim version of the Skyline card running on OS 9.1/64mb ram and another one on OS 8.1/16mb ram. Runs well without problem. Uning Skyline software v3. Both cards are on a PB 1400 Ken Vann Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks --Dan G-R -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I too have been having a serious problem with system freezes and random program crashes with the Sonnet cache enabler loaded. As with Metts' machine, mine starts up fine and even works okay for a little while if I haven't used in in a couple days...but then, right when I get rolling, something crashes or the whole system freezes and I have to reboot. Without the cache enabled, the 1400 is surprisingly stable. I recently installed 9.2.2, which seems to have increased stability, but without that L2 cache, everything is just too slow. I have tried all versions of the Sonnet cache enable 1.x through 2.x. I tried PowerLogix and NuPowr controllers, but I couldn't boot with either. I'm using good RAM...Is this merely a failure of the L2 cache? Has anyone had this problem and recovered from it? I've been struggling with this for months now, and I'm on the verge of giving up and getting a Lombard or something, which is a shame because this 1400 could be truly an acceptable and low-cost machine. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Subject: Interesting battery issues
Yes it took me at least 6 times to bring my battery up from 20 min to about 1 1/2 hour. By the way, I set up a compact flash card just to do batteries. When it does a hard shutdown, it only takes a minute for it to go through Disk First Aid and be up and running. By the way, I drool over you PB1400 users that get 2hours plus out of your batteries. Even the new batteries (third party company) are only good for about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours. Of course, I dont do lite computing. Ken Vann I downloaded battery amnesia, and ran it for the first time tonight, only for the computer to shut down for lack of energy at %83 discharge. Is this normal?

fixing up a pb 1400c
-- Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 10:39:02 + Subject: fixing up a pb 1400c From: Denny Phelps [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I'm new to this list so I hope my questions aren't too annoying, but I could use a little advice. I just got a 1400c (117 mhz) and I'm wondering about a couple things. Hello. I have a PB1400c/166 I have upgraded over the last year. Some suggestions for future upgrades: Max out the ram. Use RamDoubler 9. OS 9.1 seems to be faster than OS 8.6. Sonnet G3/466 upgrade, or NewPower acclerator (on ebay or LEM swap list). The Sonnet G3/466 boost the bus speed from 33 to 66mhz. If you do get an Sonnet G3 upgrade card, try this extension from http://www.x.r8.com/updates Mach Speed Control v1.4.3. I use this in both OS 8.6 9.1. The Sonnet extension does not work well with OS 8.6 on my PB1400. Also, the Mach Speed Control let me boost the L2 Secondary Cache from 186mhz to 233mhz with no problems. The default setting with the Sonnet extension is 186mhz. 24 Speed CD Rom to replace 12 speed (if you have one)(on ebay or Wagnermedia) PCMCIA Compact Flash Card as a hard disk or virtual memory storage. PCMCIA Ethernet Card (I use a Faralon) PCMCIA Wireless Card ( I am testing a Skyline (old Faralon) by Proxim.) Main Battery Backup Battery available at Wagnermedia (new avalable for less than $50 $15) The 1400c you have, has the better screen. I use mine every day. As for your track pad, Wagnermedia or Microdoc USA can help you with repairs. Parts are still available. An ADB mouse can help until you get the trackpad repaired. If you have the trackpad repaired, be sure to replace the backup battery at the same time. You have to take it out to replace the trackpad. Your track pad could be giving you problems because its dirty, bad software, or because the 117mhz processer is overtaxed. Have you installed a new OS yet? Choosing software can also make the PB faster. iCab, Eudora Lite, BBEdit Lite, Claris Works 4, Battery Amnesia (to break the memory on your old battery), Power Print, ect can help out with your speed problem until you are ready for a upgrade card. With a little time you could find all of these upgrades at a resonable cost and turn you PB 1400 into a workhorse. Contact me off list for more on what I did to my PB 1400.

Re: Where'd my battery recondition go??
Hi. You will have to do a custom install of OS9 or use Tome Viewer and just install the utility. Also check out http://www.kezer.net/ for Battery Amnesia. Ken Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2004 16:45:37 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Where'd my battery recondition go?? Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recently, in my slew of upgrades for my 1400 I got a new 15 gig HD with OS 9.1 preinstalled on it. The system works well, however, I was hoping to recondition the batteries I have, but can't find the utility. I looked on my OS 9.0, 9.2.1 and OS 8.5 install disks, but didn't find the utility there either. Did it dissapear from apple OSes at some point?

Powerbook 1400 back up batteries.
Hello all. I have a question for the expierence powerbook repair persons on this list. I have a Powerbook 1400 with the following problem: When in sleep mode, with out ac adaptor pluged in, if I change the main battery, the blinking led light will go dim. When a fresh main battery is reinstalled, the led lignt returns to full brightness but the powerbook will not wake up from sleep. Please note: the computer does not lose date, time or mouse settings. The owners manual said I should be able to change main batteries when in sleep mode. A service tech friend said that with 6 years of age on the backup battery, I should change it to start with. Sounds relible to me. I want to replace the backup battery. A dealer looked it up and said I need one part number 922-2429 backup battery. Now as I get ready to install, I find there are two batteries. One under the left palm rest, identified as 922-2429, one under the right palm rest, part number unknown. The copy of the apple service pdf I have for the Powerbook 1400 shows the battery under the left palm rest, but not the one under the right palm rest. If you have a Powerbook 1400, you can see the batteries if you remove the main battery and the floppy drive. They are attachet to the underside of the upper case. I found a tech note on apple web site that list two part numbers for Powerbook 1400 batteries. Tech note #11751. System battery 922-2420, Backup battery 922-2429. In another tech note #16168, I find a battery listed by service part number 922-3078, also known as M4507 M4915 I think that this is the main 9.6v Nimh battery. So now I am totaly confused. I did a Goole search for 922-2420 and come up with a reference for a 9v Nimh battery at a third party battery company. Are the batteries under the palm rest both the same? Are they both 922-2429? Thanks for all you help. Ken Vann -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Supra PCMCIA Modem Upgrades.
Hello everyone. I need some help with a Supra PC Card Modem. I have one I use in my PowerBook 1400 and I suspect it is 56k Flex only. The Diamond Multimedia site no longer has any support information or files. I am wondering if any one has one of these and can tell me if it can be flashed to v90? If so does anyone have the program to flash the roms in the card to v90. Below is listed the results when I sent the modem the various ati 1-4 comands. I am able to connect to my ISP and use the fax feature (Thanks to Value Fax shareware). My ISP no longer supports 56k flex, so a v90 upgrade would be best. I though about purchasing a new v90 or v92 PC Card Modem, but most of the ones at local store are Winmodems (software only) and not true modems. I know Zoom makes some PC card modems with Mac software bundled in the package for v90 and v92 but they are not available local. Am I just wasting my time trying to upgrade the flash rom (if so equiped) in this Supra modem? Should I just buy a new modem? All help will be appreciated.

Slupra PC Card Modem V90 upgrade
Hello Everyone. I have found more information on the upgrade for the flash rom for the Supra PC Card Modem. I went to webarchive.org and found this information http://web.archive.org/web/19981205232856/www.supra.com/products/firmware/56k/56 macfirmware.html From what it says i need a the flash file that will upgrade the roms from v1.000-00 to v2.061-03 The name of the file is Supra56KPCCardFlasher.sea.hqx and their were at least two versions of it. The file that I need is dated 5/19/98. If someone has the flasher to version 1.120-05 dated 12/14/97 then that would be a step in the right direction. All my searching sends me back to dead web pages as Supra and Diamond Multimetia are not in business any more. I do have some ccl's for this modem and it currentely works, but at a lower speed.

Re: Power Book 1400 PCMCIA Cards
I would like to thank everyone who sent me info on using the compact flash and smart media cards in a Powerbook 1400. I found them priced for as little as $3.00 and up. If any one is intrested, i desided to purchase them from Walmart because of their return policy. Here is what they cost. Viking SSFDC/ADAPT (Smart Media Adaptor) $27.92 Viking CF128M 128 MB CompactFlash Card for $32.87 Viking CF-ADAPT (Compact Flash Adaptor) for$18.98 I dont know if one brand is better than another, but with the return policy, I dont think I will go wrong. I have an old Richo digital camera that takes Smart Media cards, so I have plenty for now. As a side note, beside modems, ethernet and the above cards, what else are the readers of this list using in their PCMCIA slot? What have you found handy. I take my powerbook to work. The primary use my co-workers use there laptops for is to play microsoft solitare. They still think the mac is a toy. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
