3400c Li-Ion Battery?
I have one that seemed to have discharged itself and
now won't charge. All 4 green lights come on however.
Is it a gonner or is there a chance to save it?
Wouldn't charge in a dual charger either. It tries to
charge but seems to give up after about 10 seconds.
Same thing happens in the Powerbook.
Thanks

3400c startup problem
Has anyone seen a 3400c chime on startup, the HD spins up but all you get is a corrupted display, no startup icons, no boot? I'm thinking RAM but I know the logic boards fail alot on these machines. The PRAM was ok 2 weeks ago when it booted up fine. Had a good LION battery in it all this time. Today I plugged in the powersupply and it chimed without hitting the on button so I knew something was up. Just didn't think it would fail to bootup at all. Thanks.

No but my guess is it's either the RAM or the 3400. Try it again first in the 3400 making sure you have a good seat on the motherboard. If still @64 then the fastest diagnosis would be to try it in another 3400. If no others close by you might have to eat the postage to someone that would test it for you. __ Do you Yahoo!?

I started an auction tonight (OS 8.6) and could only get it done with IE (5.1.7). iCab (2.98) couldn't even get past (load) the category selection page and Mozilla (1.3.1) couldn't upload a pic. After trying, Mozilla wouldn't do anything else. Kept saying I was offline or some nonsence. When I went over to IE, eBay even remembered the title & description I did with Mozilla and let me finish from there. ___ Do you Yahoo!?

Maybe that's why I have less issues with eBay and PayPal on IE & iCab. ie, no Flash. The only real issue I had and why I originially posted was Gmail (ActiveX). And Mozilla took care of that. Yahoo mail is even doable on iCab now although not perfect. I did try downloading one of the Yahoo iCab bits for the Filter Manager from Rob's site but it didn't seem to make any difference. There was an instruction to go to a yahoo mail URL only once to get it to work: <http://us.f528.mail.yahoo.com/ym/BetaSwitcher?&switch=1&src=beta&dest=current&nof=1> but I didn't understand the logic even though I tried it. Maybe I didn't have all the identity settings right but if that was the case I would have thought that Rob would specify the correct settings if it mattered.

Kingston PCMCIA Digital Media Adapter Card
I just received a Kingston 4 In 1 PC Card adapter
PCMCIA card which allows a PC to read various digital
camera cards (I have Smart Media cards). The
instructions say it needs OS X or OS 9.2.2 to work so
no suprise that my Powerbook running 8.6 couldn't
mount the card onto the desktop although it was
trying. My question: is there a "piece" of OS 9.2.2
that I could install into OS 8.6 that would allow the
card to mount? If not, anyone have a 9.2.2 OS for
sale or trade?
Thanks

Powerbook 5300c Startup Problem
My 5300 started acting "PowerManager funny". The startup button won't start my 5300c Powerbook from a fully charged battery (I just get a static type noise). The startup button does work when the charger is plugged in. The machine will also startup from just the battery by using the reset button. It also charges the battery fine. Tried a second charged battery, no better. Tried the PowerManagerReset Utility but it didn't fix the problem. Any ideas on what to try next? Is the Power Manager still corrupted but the utility can't reset it? Thanks __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

PB 3400 Power Manager Board?
My PB3400 decided to ignore the battery the other day. Won't boot off a charged battery and if you boot off the AC and later insert the battery, it recognizes that the battery was inserted, tries to charge it but the charge level drops quickly to zero and never gets any charge. It's not the battery for sure (tried others and they all work on other Powerbooks). The PRAM battery is new. Do I need a new PM board? Thanks __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

5300cs Part II
OK, I've read over the comments and have a few more questions. First as much as I can figure out to tell you about it at the moment: It is a 5300cs (what is the cs for btw? I thought color screen at first, but then noticed that there was also a c) It's Running Mac OS 8.0 It has a 750 meg HD (HD Question: It seems I have two different answers about max size of HD allowed, but it may be more just a question of OS. One of the people that responded had mentioned putting a 20 gig drive in but I recall reading that there may be problems with drives larger than 8.2 gigs on versions lower than 8.6. Is this correct?) I assume from the 750 meg HD and the fact that it has 48 megs RAM that I have 16 Megs of Ram onboard and 32 in a Module (which raises my next question, is another memory upgrade worth the cost as I would be essentially be paying $103 for 16 megs more memory) It is running at 100mhz (To the person who had the 5300ce motherboard, how complicated a swap is that, and what [other than speed] is the difference between the ce and the cs?) Bruce mentioned an internal video board replacement that at 8 bucks seems like a great idea, especially with the 10-base-T Ethernet port. My only question on that one is: Is this something that I would be able to do on my own, or should it be handled by someone with more experience (I have a reasonable amount of experience with upgrading WinTel machines) To Vicki: Thank you very much for the offer, but I would have to see a picture to understand what you are talking about when you speak of painting the plastics white (I am a total n00b at all that is mac) -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...

There are a few different wireless specifications- 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g are the important ones. 802.11a is pretty much legacy, I think. 802.11b is the most common, supporting 11Mb. This is probably what's $30. 802.11g is the new standard- and it's pretty new, I don't know if the standard has been finalized yet- but it's 55Mb. Well, $30 is a pretty good price, and I think 11Mb is faster than cable (and indeed faster than the ethernet ports on any of my Macs), so I'd go for that one- provided it met my other needs. I'd want a NAT (network address translation) firewall if I didn't already have one, to protect the computers a bit more. I don't know about the wireless cards. One neat feature is to be able to use an external antenna- apparently you can get pretty surprising range with them. Whatever you decide, please use the security features of the station.

It isn't cheap, but Starry Night Pro apparently does this, and to a lesser extent Starry Night Backyard. I gave my mother a version without the satellite tracking and she enjoyed it (but lost the license in a hard drive crash! Waah!). There was a version for 68k macs, I think you'd have to ask them directly. For MacOS X, a look at freshmeat.net yeilds some interesting results: something called Celestia has a MacOS X port, and it looks promising, another project called Satellitarium looks more focused, but it's based on the X Window System and early beta. SaVi looks pretty promising, but I couldn't immediately see a MacOS X port. It uses TCL/TK, so porting might not be bad. Stellarium has a MacOS X port, but I didn't see anything about artificial satellites... I didn't see the OpenGL based simulator I was specifically looking for- I wish I could remember the name.

I doubt this would work- the ROM which does the disk mode would have to know about USB, and I doubt it. If the USB card were bootable, perhaps its ROM could dance with the Disk Mode ROM and make it work...

Anyone have one of them? I think I am pretty much stuck. I haven't heard of any SCSI host to USB device adapters. With a 540C, I'd suggest trying to find one of the SCSI disk mode capable cables, which would let you mount the entire 540C as a drive on a different machine. > I can install over the network but how do I format the disk and then > attach to the network?

It leaves out some of the standard OS stuff, like printing, so it's a small system. You should be able to mount appletalk-exported disks on the desktop though, and format the drive using software stored on the remote machine. I have a special disk image on my 540C containing a small system based on the network install disk, which I use when I feel like booting from a RAM disk (for extra battery life).

I tried to get MacMinix on one of my powerbooks, but unfortunately it doesn't like 32-bit memory addressing! MacOS 7.5 doesn't have a switch to turn it off, and 7.0 doesn't work on my Duo- so I pulled out another Duo with 7.1, but decided to look at MiNT. It doesn't seem to mind 32 bit addressing (woohoo! I can still use more than eight megs!) and everything else seems to work-- after I got it installed. The installation script of the version I have had some problems- it seems to assume that some functions are already there, when they aren't. It isn't an impossible install, I just had to poke around a bit. Like Mac-Minix, it doesn't do TCP/IP. GCC is available, as well as a bunch of other languages (a couple lisps, modula, and others). I restarted my Duo with MacOS 7.1, set 24-bit addressing and restarted, and MacMinix seems to do well. It has a much more complete set of commands (programs) out of the box, and seems nicely Unixy. MiNT seems to be a better choice than MacMinix, unless you want to study the OS code-- Minix was designed to be easy to study and understand, after all. MiNT only seems to be single user. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...

(*) What I think I remember about Minix-- it was developed when AT&T stopped letting colleges use the actual Unix source code for classes. It was originally designed for early PCs (8088s and up!) and designed so that students could recompile their systems with two floppies and no hard drives. The complete source code is in the developer's book, which I think was called _Introduction to Operating Systems_.

Somewhere around the Appleshare 3.8 series Apple changed the way the
default password encryption works. With the older versions, you'd need
a special file for dealing with the default DHX method, but the newer
ones have built-in support. My 540C isn't here, so I can't see what
version of Appleshare it's running, but it does support DHX and
randnum encryption without any extra files. Have you tried updating
the 190 to 3.8.8? I think it may lose the ability to save the
passwords between sessions but it should work.
Or, if you can find a file called something like "DHX UAM" or
something about a Diffie-Helmann exchange UAM, create the folder that
it's complaining about not finding ("Appleshare UAM" under extensions?
I don't remember what messages I got) and put it in there. It should
work, but I couldn't find a copy through google when I looked.

I'm going to assume that you want to use DHX, because that seems to be the new Apple default. Well, there's a mechanism whereby you can add different little subprograms into a folder, and they'll handle the authentification. Until a couple of releases ago, DHX needed one of these modules but now it's been rolled into the main Appleshare release.

I've got a 8.1 540c with a GV powerport mercury, and I've been having the same symptoms. I've found that if I click "connect" again after getting the "in use" notice, I get a different error message-- this one about not getting the correct response from the modem- "please check connections." Oh yeah-- it's not too difficult to check what kind of modem it is, if you're careful and have a #8 torx screwdriver. The modem card is underneath the memory expansion card, which is underneath the middle metal cage underneath the keyboard. Two screws, a bit of fiddling, and you're there. Mine was marked on the top. I've tried the express modem software recommended by the person with the swell name (Dana, but not me) but my startup freezes on the express modem extension. I looked around a bit on the web, and apparently my mercury is a software modem, meaning that it uses the 540c processor to handle the regular modem tasks-- so it needs pretty specific software to run it. Global Village Fax Center 2.5.5, I think. It'll probably slow programs down a bit.

Re: 5300 and digital photography
I've been using a Kodak DC3400 for a little while now, and it has a regular Mac-type serial port. Unfortunately for me, the software provided needs a powerpc- so I got a scsi compact flash reader. They have them in the reconditioned department of the Kodak online store for $250, as well as a 1.0Mpixel for $150-- the DC215 also speaks Mac serial. It looks like the DC5000 can also use a serial port, and it looks a little more rugged than the 3400-- I'd go for that one. Another option is to get a compact flash based camera and use a pcmcia adapter-- the 5300 has pcmcia, doesn't it? They're about $10. pook la roux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I'm just getting into digital photography, and I was > thinking I might as well buy a camera I could use with > the 5300.

Re: BIOS? and Mac?
I don't have any experience with dynamically repartioning, I've always just either backed up and reinstalled, or thrown another hard drive in. I haven't tried Gentoo, but I've tried a number of other distributions. SuSE: weird instabilities with a recent X86 distro (2.4 kernel 7.1?) on a couple of machines. I feel a bit burned. Mandrake: Freshest big PPC version out. An older version had a misconfigured log-rotate that created a *bunch* of tiny files... (I actually ran out of ext2fs inodes!) The new X86 distribution (8.2) is very pretty, and on my home PC and a disk server I just built. X86 at least comes with OpenOffice, which is nice. linuxppc: I tried installing on a couple of G3 powerbooks (Pismo and Lombard?). Both times the video wasn't yet supported. That was a year or so ago the last time. In my opinion, just about the most trouble-free distro I've used-- for any architecture-- has been Yellow Dog. I've put it on one of my personal work computers, a dedicated dvd-ram writing box, a log server (a 4400 that's been up nearly a year-- one process shows about a month's cpu time!) and one of the powerbooks mentioned above. It's really a sweet distribution. http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/ There was a slashdot thread when Mandrake's PPC version came out a few days ago: http://slashdot.org/apple/02/04/23/1532254.shtml To boot from a cd, press the 'c' key while booting. -- Dana Rottach [EMAIL PROTECTED] "hope and the anchor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > In regards to this, I'm planning on installing one of the PPC linux distros > on my 3400c.

However, starting with the G3 machines (I think) more of the startup functions were left to the operating system. To allow for this, a new layer was added, called "open firmware." This seems to me to be the closest analog to a x86 BIOS. The machines with this layer are called "new world" as opposed to "old world" machines. I'm almost certain that all G? *books are new world, and older ppc ones are old world. Nubus macs, I believe, are not called old world, but are similar. This is just my understanding gained when installing Linux and MacOnLinux on a couple of machines. -- Dana Rottach -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...

Re: Unix on a PB5300

LinuxPPC and PPC netBSD both require openfirmware, not present on the early Powermacs. You could also run MacMinix on top of Mac OS, I believe, but MkLinux is much more powerful. It looks like MachTen would also supports the 5300, but it isn't free in either sense. I used MkLinux on a PM7100 a few years ago-- I don't remember how much memory it had but I don't think it was more than 64 Megs, and it ran fine. At that point, support for expansion cards and such was pretty poor, but that might not be a concern for a laptop. http://www.mklinux.org/ A more complete listing of the free Unix clones is here: http://www.azstarnet.com/~jemorrow/choices/html/macppc.html -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
