Re: Installer Wanted for Global Village Modem/Ethernet PC Card
Hello Jim, the problem is that this would be illeagal. Global village has a copyright on the software. There is a support page online at global village. Make a request. In my case, i needed drivers for my Powerbook 540, the support there was very helpful and gave me the software. The modem in the PB540 is OEM although. A customer just acquired a PowerBook 1400 with a Model A959 Global Village 56 Kbps modem and 10Base-T Ethernet adapter PC card. The card won't work because the correct software hasn't been installed. The Global Village web site only has updaters, not the OEM installer software which is required to run the updater (Catch-22). Does anyone have a copy of the installation disk for this card? Or can you point me to a source for it on the Internet (I couldn't find one). Or, can you e-mail me the installer (I've got DSL, so big downloads are no problem.) Thanks for your help. -- Jim Scott -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Which flavour of Unix/Linux used most OR run better on older model Powerbooks?
Hello, Debian works best on the 3400c. Depending on the chipset the wireless lan works fine. My Lucent card does. Besides, on a Kanga Yellow Dog works best. But only one of the older releases. There is even a software package for powerbooks making all buttons work (brigthness, loudness) and shows them onscreen like on MacOS. Battery works longer then with MacOS :) Sound works fine of course. battery and power status are recogniced. Works fine. Sleep works, closing lid works. CD rom works, but on my drive i can not get audio working. I read somewhere this depends on the drive you have. Cause Unix is a 3 button OS, it is possible to map the missing buttons onto the last two F keys. The grapic drivers for X are not as good as those from MacOS. Fast enough for everthing but to view a movie. Firefox is usable. It is a little tricky to get the right kernel, but then it works flawless. The problem is, you boot the kernel from MacOS and therefore you need the right one from start. Depending on your keyboard you need to configure your X to have all keys. So, dont do it until you have the patience to figure everything out :) I have a howto online, but its german. Let me know if you need some informations, then i ll try to translate it. I needed a Unix back when i did this for network debugging with customers. But to be true, its better to have a MacOS on it and switch to a small intel based notebook for Unix ;) Not everything is ported to PPC and some software does not compile on the PPC. There is a ssh for Mac and even some network tools for ping, traceroute and so on. Today i use a IBM T20 700 MHz with a FreeBSD current. Its small and just perfect with FreeBSD. I have a powerbook 3400c that I use quite often for simple tasks like text / email even some simple browsing etc... It's maxed out Ram and very good battery (1+ hours) with 2gb hdd. I recently bought and start using Avaya wireless and it just gave a whole new enjoyment to it... However, I am now curious, whether I could switch to one of those Unix/Linux flavors out there that can be installed and run on pb3400c (I think DebianPPC, NetBSD are to name but few...) How many people out there has actually tried any of these unix/linux on pb3400? Can wireless be still working? and which flavor of linux/unix is better suited to pb? -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

My Non-Macs are: Setsuna: HP Pavilion a520n, AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Barton @ 2.1 Ghz , SuSE Linux 9.1 Professional and Hotaru: Toshiba Satellite 325 CDT, Intel Pentium I MMX @ 233 Mhz, RedHat Linux 7.3 Publishers Edition As you can tell, I have a habit of naming my computers after my favourite Sailor Moon characters.. There is a AMD XP 2400 @ 2 Ghz running XP and Debian. This is the one for everybody to play games or for me to digitize old videotapes i sometimes buy for an Euro or two :) There is a AMD Duron @ 700 Mhz running a FreeBSD. It is my internetgateway including firewall and [EMAIL PROTECTED], my private mail and webserver and my AppleTalk fileserver. Its always online and is placed down in the cellar. There is a IBM T20 notebook @700Mhz running a Windows 2000 and a FreeBSD. The windows partition is mainly for watching DVDs and for everything you want from a notbook when travelling.

Re: Internet / 1400
Hello, My lower back is DOA. Has been for about a month, and I need to look at another option rather than sitting at this dark desktop machine. sorry to hear about this. I earn my money by sitting in front of a PC. What i can tell you, you are not alone ;) I can get the 1400 online, except it stops at getting online during the last step, where it lets you know when you are on. It just quites and gives me an error message and the modem doesn't finish getting on. The 1400 has 64 megs of memory and doubled using ram doubler. Any ideas. Sitting on this chair, at this computer, is killing my back. You should post the error. What you descrivbe can have many causes. From uncomplete installation or damaged hardware to wrong/not working ISP acount. Some additional hints. If you look straight forward your view should point to a little bit below the center of screen. If not , put something below the screen. Avoid it to stare down to the monitor. Such kills your neck and later the rest of yur back. Get a better chair. After you have set up optimal ergonomic tablehight and position of monitor, the chair is more neccessary as you probably want to belief. My back was killing me for years. I tried out a lot. Medics, massage, gymnastics and what else... Finally i found the japanese way of computing ;) Wich means for me: no chair at all. http://www.ryzom.de.eu.org/pics/DSCF1050.JPG I found this out while trying Shiatsu (i also have a grade in Shiatsu). Sitting in seiza http://www.mkzc.org/seiza.jpg is the most natural way to sit. Beginners might use the small chair. Advanced ones dont need the small chair. This way of sitting needs a little more discipline to sit. After a while your body gets used to it and you will start to sit more consciously. Give it a try. Your back will be thankful. -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Two questions
Hello, 1.- I just realized that I didn't receive the Digest since Wednesday. Anybody here has the same problem? i dont know if there was a problem or if it just was quiet. 2,- I have Quicktime Pro 6.0.3, and a friend gave me a CD with some home movies in the .ASF format. I told her that there was no way I could see them, so she used some program (she uses Windoze) and made them .mpg. However, when I tried to see them, a window pops up that says: The file can't be opened because Quicktime doesn't have a component that the movie needs or something very similar. The same thing happens with my PB 3400c with OS 9.1, my Wallstreet with OS 9.2.2 and upgraded Power Macintosh 5500 with OS 9.2.2. There are a lot of MPG formats out there. The DivX or VidX formats are the most popular out there. Quicktime does not support them. There might be 3 reasons. First is kind of politics. Apple has its own MPEG4 format, which is comparable to DivX and VidX. Second is about license. Third is that on OS X some Unix players exist (MPlayer) which play those files perfect. So nobody is programming VidX codes for MacOS 8-9. There is one solution for older Macs. First get the free DivX codec from www.divx.com for MacOS classic. This codec is somehow bugged and you need another small plugin to make it work. I dont remember the URL to this fix but will post about it later. Anyway. To play larger resolutions ( lets say more then 400X300) you need some power. My PB3400 and my Kanga are not fast enough for a 640x480 movie, but the Kanga does 400X300. The Wallstreet might do it, since there is a ATi gfx onboard. Another solution is http://www.3ivx.com/ Your friend could use this to convert the movies to 3ivx. This codec is quite amazing. There is also a version for Mac. With this you could watch the movies. There is also http://www.3ivx.com/divxdoctor/ With divx doctor you can convert most AVI files tO Quicktime with 3ivx codec. This, depending on the filesize, needs resources and time. Some movies loose sync of audio and video. -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: email through my PC
Hello, some of the PB170 had a internal modem. If you have one use this to receive your mails. Probably you can get one somewhere out there. If not i would say this is close to impossible. With 7.0.1 you will hardly get the same mail client for PC and the Mac. I am not sure if System 7.0.1 can allready read DOS floppy disks. There is no PCMCIA slot for a memorycard (which would be a cool solution). If you would have an older desktop Mac you could build a serial network, but you have a PC. Use the modem or try to get one. You will be fine as long as nobody mails you a movie or lots of photo. Okay, seeing that I'm still having trouble getting my PB170 to let me use it for email, I was wondering if there is anyway that I could simply transfer emails back and furth between my PC and my mac using either floppies or stargate. All I want is to be able to upload the email messages to my mac in the morning, answer them on the move throughout the day and then transfer them back to the PC to be sent. The version of Eudora I have is I believe 2.something (I'm not home right now, so I can't check). I'm using OS 7.0.1 if that matters. Thanks for any help.

Re: Best way to legally copy DVD
Hello, First off, to legally copy a copy-protected commercial DVD you'll have to move to a country where it's legal, currently it's not legal in the good ol' USA. That said: You are not allowed to make any copys ? Is it only for DVD or for just anything. I mean copys of old video tapes and mp3s of music cds one really owns isnt a bad thing. I mean video tapes get damaged easy and mp3 is much more convinient then the original CDs (outdoor for example) I am against piracy but a private copy is no piracy. And what happenes to someone who recorded a movie from tv to his VCR or a more modern DVD recorder ??? If i buy a DVD with a foreign country code, copy it and burn it again with country code 0 or 2 (europe) i guess i broke every copyright law availabe ;) I guess i should check german laws are about this :) About the problem having a number of movies on the notebook for travel... I do only have Macs with OS up to 8.6. But i am wondering if it is not possible to make a disc image of a DVD with OS X ??

Re: Why do used Pismos sell for more than titaniums?
Hello, I am looking at used powerbooks from numerous sources (Baucom/wegener/ebay) and was surprised to find that G3 generation powerbooks seem to go used for more than the earlier titaniums/g4s. By this I mean pismos and arguably lombards compared to 400/500Mhz titaniums. Why is this? I do sorta get the impression titaniums quality is poor--but the extra horsepower and screen size seems like that should offset it. Am I drawing the wrong conclusions/looking in the wrong places? not long ago i had to make a similar decision. What did i want from the notebook ? I wanted connectivity and the posibility to play AVI/Quicktimes and DVD. Although i am happy with my Kanga i really missed DVD and the graphics is to slow for a 640x480 AVI. I do have a fast workstation in office, so the notebook is more a private thing for fun. Thats why one dont want to spend too much money. If you take prices and performance the Pismo is the no. 1 powerpook out there. The Titanums are not bad but just more expensive. I think many people come to this conclusion and try to buy a Pismo. Unfortunately the Pismos are now quite overpriced atm wich brought me personally to a IBM Thinkpad T20. The T20 is really the same league then the Pismo but at half of the price. I do miss the Mac OS classic on it, but by profession i am used to FreeBSD wich runs finde on this notebook. But thats an other story ;) -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Networking question -- OT?
Hello, woohaa. Quite an adventure. If the new modem from earthlink has a private IP then i really tend to say that it is allready a router and not only a modem. Probably everything would be fine if you just plug in a hub or switch and plug your Macs into the hub/switch. In this case the SMC is not needed or even not usable here. Most modern routers have the posibillity to configure the MTU. If not, sometimes the problem are the older ethernet cards in Macs, you still have to use the IPNettuner. I did a little research and decided on an SMC router. Last night I attempted to set up the system and of course, the router can't find the modem. The SMC tech said it was because the modem has a private IP address and said to contact Earthlink and find out how to change the modem to Bridge Mode so that the IP address would become public. I did this and still no dice. Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, should I still need to use IPNetTuner to change the MTU? Any security issues in using Bridge Mode?

Re: 540c to broadband via cable (not wireless)
Hello, I currently have (and am keeping) dialup. However, when I am visiting hotels (more frequently lately), can I hook up to their free broadband service? How? What do I need? depends on the hotel. If they offer wireless, then you have no chance with the 540 only. You would need a small wireless receiver where you can connect your 540 in. If they offer ethernet you just need a transceiver for your 540. You will not need any additional software. Should be a usual DHCP Ethernet connection. -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OT - yellowdog on a 3400c
Hi, i did install a Debian on a 3400 and a Yellowdog on a Kanga. You can not boot from CD on the 3400. You must boot with BootX, the installation kernel and the installation ramdisc. All is included on the CD. The latest Yellowdog will probably not work on older Macs like the 3400. I am in office now, but i can give more detailed informations this evening.

Things that i have tried are removed every thing from the logic board of the bad 3400 and replaced it with the good parts starts straight up shows a 200mhz cpu in system profiler, all fine. put all the other parts on the known good logic board nothing.

Re: PCMCIA card for USB ports
Hi, here is the best Link about topic. You will also find links for USB software. http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/Cardbus/Cardbus.html I bought a lowcost cardbus 2.0 card and gave it a try. You need a sharp knife to remove the nose topview left. With removed nose it fits physically. It worked. Only in USB 1.x but it worked. can use printer and my Fuji camera with this. And it works only when card is inserted when booting. So no hotswap.. The manufacurer is HAMA but i think they only sell in germany. Maybe in europe.. If you get no Apple card thry some cheap cards. The chances are high to get one working. I would like to buy a PCMCIA card to get USB ports on my 3400c. Do you know if I normally need drivers to make it work with my Powerbook? Do I need to make sure the manufacturer supplies Mac drivers? I know the other thing to be concerned about is if the card will physically fit in the slot. Does anyone have a recomendation for a low cost PCMCIA card for USB ports for powerbook? Here's a PCMCIA/USB card on eBay I'm considering.

Re: oldest OS for pb190cs?
Hello, according to http://www.knubbelmac.de/mirrors/til/til8970.html there is no system enabler below 7.5.2 for your PB190. But your 5xx would run with 7.5 I need to know the oldest OS that can be installed on the pb 190cs. Apple says its 7.5.2 whereas lowendmac allows 7.1.1. This would make all the difference to me as I'm looking for a project machine that would be running 7.5 (Russian, so I can't count on updates). I'm wavering between the 190cs and a 5xx to completely russify for both computer tinkering and language learning. So... has anyone ever actually installed and used an os prior to 7.5.2 on a 190cs?

Re: Wirelessly print from OS 9.2 Classic?
Hello, I¹ve got such good advice from you guys before that I thought I would see if any of you had any thoughts on this. I have a Powerbook G4 running OS X.3.8 I have a Canon printer ip4000. It will print from OS X with the print driver and it will print from OS 9.2 through the USB port. Question: How do I get it to print from OS 9.2 wirelessly? It would take a wireless printserver and network capable printer drivers. Probably a Linux solution in combination with LaserWriter8 could do the same. Never done it with a Canon, only with a HP.

I am not sure if there is something on PC that can do this, if not you have to transfer them somehow onto the PB180 and then generate the installation floppies there. It might be better to format first the hd before you install 7.5.3. I recently picked up a PB180 and wanted to wipe the HD and do a fresh install of OS 7.5.3 (which I picked up on Apple's site) - It has 7.1.x now. But the thing is, I looked around and couldn't find out exactly how to do this and as a PC user, I'm new to Mac's. I am able to format disks for it on my PC using TransMac, but beyond that, I'm not sure if I should format first, or if I copy all the bin files to the Mac, it will give me an option before I install the OS to completely wipe and format the HD. I do not have access to a CD-Rom drive for it, but I can make as many floppies as needed. Any help or links I could be pointed to would be appreciated. thanks! -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Formatting and fresh install of 7.5.3 on a PB180
Hello, So, would it not work if I were to just transfer all the files to the Mac HD and run them from there? How would I format the HD? it might. You can try to move all files on the hd and mount them. It is possible to install from mounted diskimages. But this would be no (clean) installation but an upgrade. If you decide to generate the (was it 15 ?) floppies and boot from the first this will boot into a small OS. There you can select the hd by clicking and then format by selecting Initialize from the last menue right side (named Extras if i remember correctly). -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Formatting and fresh install of 7.5.3 on a PB180
Hello, Ah, I get it. Yea, I don't want to just upgrade it. It's 19 floppies, yes. Alot, I know ;) it is. Not too much if disk 18 isnt corrupted ;) I just remembered, though, here in the office we have an old G3 sitting around that I can use. I assume it would be best to format the disks from that and use this diskcopy (?) to transfer the disk images over and then boot from the first disk? Where can I get that? Disk Copy should just be there. (search = apple+f) If unfortunately not, then look on the installation-cd of the G3. Ther should be a folder disktools. I this fails too, ther might be a version somewhere at apple.com. Yes, generate on the G3 the floppies out of the images. If it is a colored case there might be no floppy drive.. This will speed up things. You can boot already from disk1 while G3 is writing disk2. If one gets corrupted you can make another one on the G3 without aborting the installation. How much RAM does the PB180 have ? Probably you would like to stay with 7.1 :) -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Formatting and fresh install of 7.5.3 on a PB180
Hi, Cool, thanks for your help. I will check the G3 shortly. Shoot, it is the ver. with no floppy drive. So I guess that's out. The PB180, right now, only has the base 4mb ram (I was going to upgrade that later though). with 4mb ram 7.5.3 seems to me too much. If you get a full ram upgrade to 14mb it might be ok. If I was to continue to run 7.1 on there, as you suggest, what would be the best way to reset everything to factory? Good question but hard to answer. Best would be you try to get a System 7.1 on ebay or probably here on the swaplist. Although Systems 7.01 and 7.5 are free, 7.1 is not. Dont know why. See, my worry is that I bought this off of someone and I want to make sure all his stuff is completely off there. Since the HD is soo small, I want to start out with as much space as possible. I had thought that, while doing that, I might as well upgrade the OS. Maybe I am thinking like a PC person, who knows ;) But, if 7.5.3 is going to be clunky, I am fine with sticking to 7.1 for now, as long as I can get it clean-as-possible. With 7.5.3 the OS will eat up all your ram and mem swapping would slow down this nice 68k book even more. If you have 10-20 meg free space on your harddrive you have quite a lot of free space. To clean up try following. Old macs do not spread there files all over the machine like PCs or Linux do. In most cases you will find standalone apps with or without a prefsfile in harddrive/systemfolder/preferences Or you will find apps within their own folder and probably a prefs file You can start an unknown application, look what it does and then decide if you delete it or not. You will 99.9% not have any depencies to ruin your setup. No dlls or such. One thing why we all love the old macs :) -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Rebuilding battery on 1xx PBs
Hi, These descriptions on http://macs.freeshell.org/powerbook/index.htm look promising. I have an PB 180c I would love to run on battery again. Has anyone tried these suggestions and perhaps made pics? I have no idea what awaits me if I open the battery case (and how do I do that?). never tried it with PB180 batteries but did rebuild one for my PB 540. Sorry, no pictures available. I would say: If you get it open, there is nothing inside to be scared of :) There are some cells and probably a small circuit board. To open it, it might be that you have to use some force. Then use a really sharp knife and cut it open. Note on a paper how they are connected and rebuild this with new cells. It might be that the two parts of the case will not stick together by themselfes after opening it. Try some adhesive... Try it on a battery that is already dead, so you have nothing to loose. Good luck ! It might be worth it. With up-to-date 2200 mA cells my PB540 keeps going much longer then with an new, original battery. -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: MacPoET
To Clark Martin, Manfred Guentner, and ACFX4501 I would like to say thank you for such quick and informative responses, I will use the router to connect the powerbook. I guess I just have to play with the control panels to get them set correctly. Or are there any special control panels necessary to complete this setup. Thank for your assistance. Brad Hi, all you need is control panel TCP. If you use DHCP on the router set up the TCP like here http://www.starstream.net/support/mac/tcpip/tcpipos8.htm Thsi is the easiest way. If you dont have DHCP on the router then chose: Configure:Manually IP Address: a ip within the range configured on the router example: router has 192.168.1.1 , then use here 192.168.1.2 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Router address: ip of router. here it would be: 192.168.1.1 Name server addr: ip of router if router can do this. if not an ip of a nameserver.

Re: using MacPoET on a Pwrbk3400
Hello fellow list members I am writing hoping to find someone who is presently using MacPoET on a pwrbk. My Pwrbk 3400 is running with 144mb of ram on OS 9.1 with a 2gig harddrive. The reason I am looking at MacPoet is because I am trying run my Pwrbk through a Linksys router via PPPoE. I found a version 1.1 on the Internet and downloaded it then decided to check here before I attempted to set it up. I am looking for any information on how it works, what version is viable and how to configure and troubleshoot it. Thank you for any and all help in this matter. If you are connected through the router then it should be dealing with PPPoE and your computer only needs to access the router using an ordinary TCP/IP connection. In other words you do not need to run MacPoet or any other PPPoE software on you r laptop or any other computer behind the router. Hi, i agree with this. As long as your Router has PPPoE funktion you should use them. If your router doesnt support PPPoE you should think about buying one. Anyway, if you, due to circumstances, want or need to use MacPoET 1.1.1 i can confirm that it ist working fine. The configuration is a little unusual, because the AppleTalk is used somehow as sort of loopback interface. A small guide (german only) is here http://www.netic.de/support/dsl/macos/ But its little to read.

Re: 3400c - I give up again.
Hi, sounds bad. When i leave my 3400c for a week or so it chimes but doesnt boot. When i leave it for a hour with AC plugged in, it comes up fine. Its just a guess, but i think its has something to to with the PRAM battery which is also recharchable. The PRAM battery is connected to the powermanagers locic board. The green thing under the speakers panel. So i would also suggest to reset the powermanager for one or more times. And then again... could it be the battery? Will a bad battery cause these many issues? I simply don't know.

Re: Hi from newbe
Hi, I have just come into ownership of a perfect PowerBook Duo 210. Donated as a toy for my baby daughter. Having spent only a few minutes I have been amazed by what a capable, easy to use and pleasant device this is. Such a wonderful device must of course be made to work at something productive clever and worthy of the Apple name. More than a toy for my baby daughter. I am sure she will thank me this one day :) Not knowing anything about these I have some questions and I hope there may be some users who may know. Firstly, does this device run TCP/IP with FTP, Telnet and maybe an email reader? Does anybody have some software? I guess you can setup TCP/IP on this machine. Which OS do you have installed ? Add there are 68k clients for telnet, ssh, ftp, email and WWW. Secondly, does anybody know how I convert the 'PS2' style network plug into 10baseT? You mean the serial port ? You can plug in a modem to come online. If you can find somewhere a software for SLIP and a fitting cable you can also connect to a Unixserver. Or you can connect to another Mac. Thirdly and most important, can any users suggest a good use for such a lovely device? Reading mails, writing letters, use it as ssh terminal to a Unix- workstation.

Re: Hi from newbe
Hi, I guess you can setup TCP/IP on this machine. Which OS do you have installed ? Add there are 68k clients for telnet, ssh, ftp, email and WWW. This is good news. I would be very interested in getting hold of one of those. My OS is labelled as B1-7.1, with 8MB memory. Is there a good site for software which runs on this OS? Try some google. There are many sites with 68k stuff. Install on your linuxbox the hotlineclient hx (terminal) or gtkhx (x11) then you can get some stuff from my public 68k server fw.mague.org. user or pass is not required. As far as i know everything there is legal. Then you have to enable HFS somehow on Linux to use floppy-discs between Linux and Powerbook. For networking on old Macs you find here a little: http://www2.muw.edu/~kdunk/muwmac/muwold.html You mean the serial port ? You can plug in a modem to come online. If you can find somewhere a software for SLIP and a fitting cable you can also connect to a Unixserver. Or you can connect to another Mac. A SLIP connection to my Linux box is an excellent idea. I really know very little about Apple. This would be a cable connecting from the back-left of the PowerBook? Are cables which connect to a 9-pin PC serial cable socket from an Apple easy to find? I found a free InterSLIP at the university of Berlin http://autos.cs.tu-berlin.de/~unicef/SLIP.html Its in german. Here are the downloadlinks: ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/mac/comm/Engst/interslip-installer.sea http://autos.cs.tu-berlin.de/doku/script.rtf About the cables: I dont know if you can get one easy. Probably not. Try to find a website where the pins are described. Maybe someone here on the list has already a constructional drawing... Does any member know of a CLIP client for this OS? No, sorry not. Reading mails, writing letters, use it as ssh terminal to a Unix- workstation. For your daughter ther are some old games to play. Sounds like a lot of fun. If you know of a good software site I would be very interested. It is fun :) If not, this list would not exist :) Google will deliver lots of them. Many universities have download areas of old and very old macsoftware. Bowser, ssh/telnet and ftp you will get on my hotline. They work all with system 7.5.x . Should run on 7.1 also.

Re: dead BTI battery for PB 190/5300
Powerbooks and Newton's packs used AA NiMH batteries. You can even buy NiMH AA batteries with soldering tabs and refurbish the battery pack, sometimes even using better cells which will last even longer. For more on newton batteries, check out http://www.pda-soft.de he wrote a really good guide to refurbishing different Newton's batteries and some are similar to the powerbooks. Hi, i refurbished a Powerbook 540c pack with modern cells. They should probably have the doubble energy then the original ones. But there is something more. The electronic of the battery seems to calculate with the resistance of the cells. They are all soldered serial and there is already a resistor. Due to this all, the Powerbook 540c doesnt recognize the real capacity of the battery. Until now i didnt find the time, but next will be to measure the resistant of an original battery and then modify the self-refurbished with an resistor. So that the refurbished one has the same reading as the original. Probably then i get more power out of it. -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Early Cardbus cards had no provision for shielding, anyway. Do you have more information about the topic grounding ? I have a D-Link Ethernetcard which is not recognized at boottime. As if the pc-card software ist not loaded. If i boot with a 16bit card and then exchange the cards then it is recognized. I really would like to have the Ethernetcard running because i have to transport large files. -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Most U.S. models have an on-board combo Ethernet-modem card. It does. Its got buildin 10MBit and wireless 11 Mbit. But the other card is 10 times faster. -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Color doesn't matter on the cable. It needs to be what is called a ethernet gaming cable.

D-Link DFE-690TXD Ethercard in Kanga
Hi, i have got a D-Link DFE-690TXD Ethercard. There are also drivers for MacOS 8-9. Of course this is a 32bit cardbus card ! Anyway, i took a sharp knife an made it fitting into the PCMCIA Slot. That worked fine with my USB card, so why not with this one ;) I ejected the Orinoco WLAN card and inserted the D-Link and MacOS 8.6 recognized it. Since the card is not hot-swapable i had to reboot the Kanga. But after reboot the card is recognized 1 out of aprox. 30 times. When i boot with the Orinoco, eject it and insert the D-Link the D-Link is always recognized. Only after rebooting its gone again. When it is recognized it works fine and fast. Any hints why the card is recognized only randomly ? -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: PB520c rebuild
Hello, I've inherited a PB520c. It came in many parts, not one of which was a power supply. I've reattached the screen to the base by rebuilding the hinge posts with urethane expoxy. I boosted the battery to approx. 12V and gerry rigged 12Vs on the supply lines. It boots but, the top half of the screen shows stripped rectangular blocks not the uniform color of the bottom half. Could this be due to insufficient voltage or is there something else I am missing? Hello, i would tend to say its the videocable or the LCD itself. Probably the videomemory.. but i dont think so. If the voltage would be too low, i guess the 520c would not boot at all. Can you use a window to clean away the blocks ? -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The cdroms from 190, 3400, 3500 should fit. But you can install another os without a cdrom drive. Make a boot-floppy with network access and install over the net.

It is somehow faster, depending what you want to do with it. It might be fun. The Hoopper was for a time my only portabel. Its got a wlan-card, a working USB pc-card for my Fuji-cam and even dialup with IrDa and cellphone works.

Let me tell you something about plannedfutureupgrades.html If you want to install Linux on the Hooper i would not use BlueLabel. Try a direct installation on a second partition. On my Hooper there is a Debian Sarge with Kernel 2.4.25 running. Very stable. Everything is supportet, even 802.11b. With BootX you can at boottime select which OS you want to load.
