What drive can I upgrade a 3400c with?

[Tom W.]

Just wondering if the 3400c, and 1400c for that matter, will take the
same size hard drives out of the lombards and pismos?
Thanks
Tom

Is there a 3400 or 2400 battery charger?

[Tom W.]

Is there a battery charger that just plugs into the wall and charges
either 2400 or 3400 powerbook batteries?
Thanks

Re: Which PowerBook is for me?

[Tom W.]

I agree with Caleb 100 per cent. A Lombard, for the price, is a great
laptop. I love the 4-5 hours on a battery as well as the speed and I love
how easy it is to upgrade compared to the ibook. It's a little more than
the first poster wanted to pay, but I got mine for $150US for a basic
configuration. They seem to go from $150 to $250 depending on
configuration. Maybe if you wait, you can get an even better deal.

Yeah, spend the $50 on cheap drugs or perhaps a balaclava.
Seriously, I have a Lombard that I got for $150, and I love it. I
would recommend it over a wallstreet because it's much lighter,
faster, has usb and scsi. A good battery lasts about four hours in
mine.
In your price range, you might get a duo with a working battery, but
not much else.
Like Shawn said, good luck!

Can you rebuild iBook batteries?

I am wondering if you can rebuild them yourself, send them away to be

where's the best source?
I am soon to receive an original iBook clamshell with dead battery.

Re: DHCP on System 7 - Bruce?

[Tom W.]

Bruce, oh guru, perhaps you could shed a little more light on this. I 
have a mac/windoze network hooked to the net through a router.
I am trying to add a powerbook 520. I tried with system 7.53. I couldn't 
get it to either talk to my os x computers on the network or the net. 
Although I could see the OS X computers in the chooser, it wouldn't let 
me access them telling me they were using a PAP that system 7.53 didn't 
recognize. I then upgraded the pb520 to os 8.1 and set appletalk to 
ethernet and tcp/ip to dhcp. Using netscape 3, but still won't access 
the net, giving me a socket error or something like that. I can access 
appletalk now with 8.1. The PB520 is plugged directly into one of  the 
ports of the router.
Any ideas on what sendings, both to communicate to the OS X puters and 
access the net?
Thanks for any help
Tom

Re: 1/2 OT: watch out seller _ follow up

[Tom W.]

Feedback is something that you "may" leave on ebay. You don't have to, 
and there are no obligations as to when it should be left.  Therefore, 
nobody "has" to leave it at any certain point.

Many sellers leave positive feedback as soon as the buyer pays. Others 
leave it after shipping the item.

The majority that I deal with, including myself, leave positive feedback 
after the buyer does. My reasons are as follows:

1. When buyer leaves positive feedback, that, in my opinion, is the 
sign  of a successful transaction. He or she has received the item. It 
is satisfactory to them, and the positive feedback they leave is their 
expression of satisfaction.

2. Waiting until the buyer leaves feedback usually prevents "flaky" 
feedback. This may take place when everything was fine, but the buyer 
didn't like something about the transaction. Suppose you mail the 
product the day you receive payment, but due to some glitch in the 
postal system, it is delayed beyond a reasonable amount. If you, the 
seller, have already left pos. feedback, the buyer is then free to leave 
neg. feedback to vent his/her frustration, even though the postal delay 
was not in your control. Is that fair?

3. If a buyer pays in a timely manner, there is very little chance that 
a seller would ever leave them neg. feedback. However, if you, the 
seller, leave feedack first, you have no way of discouraging buyers from 
leaving neg. feedback just because they want to. If a buyer leaves me 
neg. feedback, I do the same for them. The only execption would be is if 
I made some horrible screw-up that was completely my fault.

4. As a buyer, I don't mind leaving positive feedback first, after 
receiving the item, because I know that I have received the item, it is 
okay, and the seller has no reason not to leave positive feedback after 
receiving mine.

So in conclusion, no, I don't believe sellers should be forced to give 
positive feedback after payment is made. IMHO, this would put an unfair 
leverage into the hands of unscrupulous buyers.

Just my two cents.
Tom



Beniamino Cenci Goga wrote:
shouldn't the seller leave the feedback ASA buyer pays?
very frequently they use their feedback as a weapon for unhappy buyers.
I personally think that sellers should be forced to leave their 
feedback ASA money are transferred.

Opinion?

Re: apple

[Tom W.]

I respect your opinion but disagree. Apple should be responsible, and it 
is up to "Apple" to go after ATI, not individual consumers.. Suppose the 
logic board problem is caused by some chip maker in Taiwan (or in this 
case, Canada). Do you not think it is Apple's responsibility to make 
sure they are purchasing good components and installing them into the 
equipment their name and logo is branded onto? Of course it is.I didn't 
see anything about ATI on that website, so whose name is being sullied? 
Apple's, of course.
I didn't find anything wrong with Junior's post, and the link. Wow, can 
we only talk about the good things about powerbooks on this group?
I put two 5300s through REA and have been happy, but I imagine if I had 
invested into an Ibook and then it died weeks after the warranty ended, 
I would be P.O'd too.

Re: 5300c logic board

[Tom W.]

According to an REA service manual I have, your computer doesn't have to
exhibit, all or any, symptoms. Your machine just has to be in the
appropriate serial number range. I would say your dealer may just not want
to deal with it, but you should be able to force the issue, if your machine
qualifies.

Re: 5300c logic board

[Tom W.]

Apple Article # 30425 details the REA program for 190/5300, and I believe
they say it is active until September 2003. It also tells you how to see if
your laptop has already been through the program.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30425&SaveKCWindowURL=http%3A
%2F%2Fkbase.info.apple.com%2Fcgi-bin%2FWebObjects%2Fkbase.woa%2Fwa%2FSaveKCT

andomValue=100&showSurvey=false&sessionID=anonymous|167468933#faq2

Only certain serial numbers are eligible for the logic board replacement.
You can see it in the article.

Having 520 ethernet problems

[Tom W.]

I have a 520 and for some reason, when I try to switch from localtalk to the
built-in ethernet, I get an error message and it refuses to do it.
I have tried zapping pram and re-installing a different system, all to no
avail.
Is there anything 520 specific I need to get the ethernet going?
Thanks
Tom

Re: serial port hijacking

[Tom W]

You are 'Da Man'!
Thanks. I had appletalk turned off, but trashing the preferences did the
trick.
thanks again

printing problems

[Tom W]

I just installed 8.1 on my 520C and hooked it up to a stylewriter II
printer. When I try to print it says "serial port in use by another
application". I tried switching appletalk over to ethernet because I thought
that might be the problem, but it gives me an error when doing that.
Any ideas?
Tom

Can you swap a 5300 mb into a 190?

[Tom W.]

Can you swap a 5300 motherboard into a 190 case? Are there any
considerations or is it a straight swap?

Re: Need recommendation for niece's 1st Powerbook

[Tom W.]

I would recommend a 540C with OS 8.1. You can upgrade it to ppc later if you
wish. It is a good laptop with a nice color screen.

Re: Duo question

Hi Mark,
The drives arrived. Have installed the 250 and it works fine. I will

Will a duo work with a bad battery?

[Tom W.]

I have a duo 280C that if I put a good battery in, it works fine, but if I
put a dead battery in, the duo won't even start, even when the adaptor is
also plugged in. Is that normal?
Thanks for any info.
Tom

Re: PDA's & Powerbooks?

[Tom W.]

If you haven't experienced the joy of Newton, I would try that. It's a
little bigger than your standard type pda, but has a huge screen and awesome
character recognition. The best part is there's a flood of 'em on ebay right
now and you can usually pick one up for $99 or $125 for a 2000 or 2100 if
you keep a close watch. There's some great Mac software to use with the
Newt.
Good luck
Tom
