Re: Locked scsi disk
You need a formatting utility other than Apple's. I've used LaCie's SilverLining for years, but I'm not sure of the current OS requirements. You can download the current version here: http://www.lacie.com/download/drivers/LaCieUpdater_654.sit It's described as an updater, but I think it's just an installer. Also, you try ATTO's tool, ExpressPro-Tools, again, the OS requirements may be too high for your situation: http://www.attotech.com/software/app1.html#macos9 You need to register (free) to login and DL. You'll need to move the drive to a SCSI-Manager 4.3 compliant desktop Mac to use either of the above tools IIRC. OW, I'm not sure what other freely DL-able formatting utils are out there. dan k -- . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Reading a burned 700MB capacity CD R on a PowerBook 3400
I've had very poor luck with 700MB disks in older CD-ROM drives of all sorts, so I wouldn't be too hopeful about the faster 3400 drives (all from the same era.) You might try even other different 700MB media with the slim chance that some 700MB media may be more compatible than those you've tried. Best bet is to burn 3400-bound disks to tested-for-3400 650MB media. An alternative of course would be to use a modern USB or FW external drive through a cardbus adapter. dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 2300c internal ethernet?
tr0x [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: Hi, is it possible to install an internal ethernet card, removing the internal modem? I've heard about scsi-ethernet converters, but i've always found external ones... Do you have some links about this? The internal modem's connector only supports a modem. The signal lines just aren't there to turn it into an ethernet port.

Re: Is there a 3400 or 2400 battery charger?
Malcolm Cornelius [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 95% sure that I have a VST one and that it uses either the normal 5300/190 or the normal 3400 adapter. I've a vague feeling that this has been discussed on the list before a couple of years ago and we decided that there were several distinct chargers. Right you are Malcolm. Ok, here's more info than any of y'all really wanted to know . . . VST (now SmartDisk) made at least three versions of the 190/5300/3400 chargers. The first is for NiMH 190/5300 batteries only, the VST Charger 5000 (SCH5000), with the 190/5300-style power input socket only. For the PowerBook 3400 VST produced a new model, the VST Charger 3400 (SCH3400) which can charge the 3400's lithium batteries along with the older NiMH packs, and it added as well a second power socket for the 3400's power supply plug. With the arrival of the 3500 VST produced a new revision of the SCH3400 charger which can handle charging the higher capacity Kanga batteries. Confusingly, the 3500-capable model carries the same VST Charger 3400 (SCH3400) model name. I can't recall if there is any externally marked revision number difference, might be, been awhile :-P However, I do recall that the earlier rev SCH3400 cannot charge Kanga batteries. Somewhere I have another make charger, 190/5300-only IIRC, might be Absolute-brand come to think of it . . .

Re: Which PowerBook is for me?
list of items including: Internal CD-ROM drive that can read CD-RW This is an impossibly tough brief, $50 for all . . . however, while going a bit over the original pricepoint . . . I'll suggest a 1400 over anything before Lombard, for the simple reason that it can be equipped with an internal modern optical drive. The 3400/3500/WS series cannot have their optical drives upgraded, and those old opticals have loads of difficulty reliably reading CD-R/W disks. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/ebms.html#3400sled _If_ you can get a 1400 12x CD-ROM drive, you can upgrade that drive to a modern optical: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/ebms.html#1400_12x However, at this point at a minimum (with a bit of savvy shopping) you are probably out: 1400 barebones - $50 12x EBM- $25 new optical- $20 near enough $100 Still, the next available 'Book which can be set up to reliably read CD-R/W disks is a Lombard, for which one can expect to pay at least $200 or so. Add to that the required replacement optical, so total will be around $225 minimum, though probably more. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/PB_99_2K_EBM_sled.html 'Course, that's a enormously overall more competent machine, IMO well worth the extra scratch. Hmm, about to send this when I just thought of - a 3400 (or 3500 or WS, they just cost more) can use an external FireWire drive, using a cardbus FW adapter. Figure $75 for a barebones 3400, $25 for the FW adapter, and roughly $50 - $75 for the external drive. Well actually, if one were to use an external SCSI CD-R/W drive, one could include most any PowerBook. Heck, with an internal ATA-SCSI bridge (~$60 or more) you could plug a duallayer DVD-R/W into a PowerBook 100. :-P mmK, I'm done thinking now, hth, dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

That said, OS 9 has much more native PPC code than does OS 8.6. With lots of RAM and a faster-than-original HD (for speedy-ish VM) OS 9 is faster in use than any other classic Mac OS. PPC code uses more resources (RAM HD space) than 68K code, so you'll not be happy if you have less than 48MB, 64MB is better still. OS 9 does take longer to boot than earlier systems, just takes longer to load all that extra-sized PPC code. FYI, you can use up to OS 9.1 on the nubus-based 1400, the 9.2.x updates require a PCI-based Mac. There's always those folks who prefer the lighter weight of the earlier systems, with their faster load times and generally snappier GUI response. I prefer the more modern amenities of OS 9, plus the overall speed of things like file copies, as well as OS 9's wider availability of compatible software. I use OS 9.1 on my 333MHz G3/64MB/20GB 1400C and I'm happy. Actually, I use OS 9.x over 8.x whenever possible, eg: my PB540C PPC/167/40/30GB loves OS 9!

I suspect you have an ADTX adapter (such as came on the OEM Apple 1GB drive.) If so you can only use the first ~8GBs of the drive, anything beyond that will be (or will become) a scrambled mess. Here's my page on the subject of adapters: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/pb_scsi_ata.html Running system 8.1 I have a pcmcia cage but it is a revision b is the cage from another mac able to be swapped because if so i have a pcmcia flash drive 512.mb and an orinoco card that i can use. AFAIK, you can't use a rev B on a PPC 'Book, but give it a try anyway, might work after all. Here's a couple of replies to some of the other suggestions you've received. First, you can use a network access disk (NAD) to install stuff over an ethernet network, but you'll proably have to roll your own NAD for a PPC PB500, here's my helpful page on the subject: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/nad.html Secondly, I'll suggest (if you have the installer) using OS 9.1, which I have on both of my 167MHz PBs 500: http://members.aol.com/dankephoto/ppc_upgrade/86patch.htm I love using 9.1 on a PB500, though others may disagree. You've got the drive space and pace, as well as well as (I assume) maxed out RAM. It's really a good thing to have a SCSI cable and a CD drive for your 'Book. Cost is low, value is high. dan k dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Best way to legally copy DVD
It's not the copying that's illegal, it's circumventing copy protection that breaks the law.

Re: Best way to legally copy DVD
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: I haven't found any Mac tools that can do what the freeware win32 app DVD Shrink can do, which is, in one step, copy an entire DVD (including all menus) so it fits completely on a DVD-R. It offers a host of options including variable compression, region choice (or no region), macrovision removal, removing P-UOPs, etc., it's super easy to use, it outputs very nice looking movies, and it's free. I _could_ use it regularly to make working copies of my 5 yr old daughter's DVDs. When she inevitably destroys a copy I _could_ just haul out the original and burn her another copy. Not that I _do_, just that I _could_, you see what I mean don't you? If you don't have access to a win32 PC, then spend $50 and buy one. I hate using a WinPC for anything, but it's little gems like DVD Shrink, unavailable on a Mac, what makes it well worthwhile to have a Wintel box around the joint. Not that I _do_ use it for such things, but I _could_, if only it was legal. Legal, legal, legal . . . such backups are apparently quite illegal here in the states. Man-o-man, having to _describe_ this like I just did _above_ seems quite _un-American_, somehow . . . dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: MORE! PowerBook 1400c Memory Problems
PBs 1400 are notoriously RAM flaky. The 1400's memory controller is especially sensitive to timing variations in the RAM modules, and adding additional RAM usually makes things worse. The longer circuits (with additional modules) add capacitance which affects how the RAM and memory controller interact. If any part of the total RAM package is even close to being out of spec the mess can be useless. This also explains why RAM may work in one arrangement and not in another where the modules are not identical. The piggybacked module is further from the memory controller and is thus loaded with longer circuits. I've found the Sonnet G3 upgrades to be especially sensitive to RAM issues, where modules which work fine with a standard processor fail with the G3 installed. Some of this is explained in the PB1400 addendum devnote: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintos h_CPUs-PPC_Portable/PowerBook_1400_Addendum.pdf dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo...upside down logo
Anyone see this thread as a tad silly . . . errr, no? Hmmm . . . right then . . . I think cutting out the old logo, the new hole being a larger 'upside down' . . . err, right-side-up logo is the cleanest solution. As for the 'insert' to use in the new larger hole - I've checked all the 'Book display-back Apple logos from clamshell iBook to 17 AlBook and none are large enough to cover a WS/Lombard/Pismo's old Apple logo's outline. Everything I have from dual USB iBook and first gen TiBook up to the revs A/B 12 and 17 AlBooks are identically sized, but the clamshell's Apple is the largest of all by a small margin. Therefore, unless there's some 'Book I've overlooked, one would likely need to fabricate a new larger Apple insert for that factory look some of y'all seem to crave. How about using the Apple logo inserts from the side of a B+W form-factor desktop? Now there's a statement! Sadly, color choices are limited to blue and a couple shades of gray. Hmm, I don't have any recent Apple desktop displays, are any of those logos appropriate? Just had another (silly) thought or two . . . if one cut out the old Apple's surround as a circle, one could fab some sort of spinning/rotating thinga-ma-bob where one could turn the Apple anytime to any orientation one desired. Now how's that for a complete solution?!?! G Oo, oo, how about having it motorized somehow, so that it turns 180 degrees when you open the lid!?!!? And back again when you shut it?!?!?! Or even just constantly whirls when ever you have the lid open?!?!? Alright, nobody steal that idea, that's a winner that one is!!

Re: Junkyard Pismo ?
The problem with constructing a 'Book (or any 'puter really) from bits is that without a complete correctly working unit in which to test parts it'll be very frustrating not being able to figure which part(s) is causing the inevitable problems. Though it runs counter to the OP's original proposal, it's much better to first buy a complete, working unit, then patiently source the bits for the second unit. Trust me (hard-won-lesson), troubleshooting without known-working spares is a total headache. Thus the rock-solid-totally-logical-can't-argue-with-common-sense reason I always have wy more Macs than I _really_ need. :-) dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: DVD Playback for Kanga, et. al.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: snipped introduction A Kanga was configured with an external SCSI drive, an EIDE/UATA DVD drive converted as described above. The Apple DVD Player 1.3 software was installed on a clean install of Mac OS 9.0. A Wallstreet DVD decoder card was inserted into the Kanga. The decoder card was recognized. A DVD was inserted into the drive. The DVD would be recognized as such, but would not launch the Apple DVD Player. Launching the Apple DVD Player application manually resulted in a missing hardware warning, followed by an orderly application termination. I was gonna suggest using MacsBug to try and figure exactly what hardware component is 'missing', but IIRC DVD Player won't run if there's a debugger installed. :-( How the heck can one discover exactly what is missing? What does System Profiler say? This is one of those mysterious things where I could never figure out exactly what was missing, at least not without alot of PITA trial and error testing. I sure wish I had a Kanga, I'd try your same setup using an internal DVD-ROM drive, not that it would likely make any difference.

I realized yesterday that linux can read just about any filesystem out there, so I looked through the man pages, and, sure enough, there was the hfs filesystem -- it just wasn't turned on in the default configurations. So I recopied all 20 files onto floppies that I'd formatted on the PB. I now have 20 files of OS7.5.3 in native format on my PB hard drive. Following the instructions, I double-clicked the first .bin file. Adobe Acrobat reader came up and said it couldn't open the file. In fact, it did the same thing when I double-clicked on the .info.txt file, hoping to find some relief there. I thought maybe all the exra dots might be a problem (some filesystems can't take extra dots), and changed the 7.5.3 in the middle of the filename to 7_5_3. Acrobat Reader still comes up. Won't open the .info.txt file either. I can't find any help on changing (what Windows calls) file associations, either in the 190 menus or in the 190 user manual. What do I do now?

Re: 2300c Question
Not necessarily slow, OS 9.1 can be quite satisfactorily speedy on a 2300C, caveated (!) :-) by two things: 1) you must have _real_ 56MB ram (2300's maximum) and! B) you gotta replace the puke-slow original HD with a modern, fast drive (say 8 or 10 GBs at least.) With those two conditions met you _will_ be satisfied with OS 9.1. If you can't do either, then go with the other recommendations. dan k (once again, couldn't resist being an OS9-pushin' troll!) . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: MasterCook
what does this program do and where did you get it, or where is it now available? This sounds like a good use for my old PB. I have a 170 that I keep in my kitchen to store recipes on. It uses an old version of Mastercook. MasterCook does everything but cook, it has recipes, the ability to insert your own recipes, get recipes online, figure measurements, calories, ect, make shopping lists, meal planning, search recipes, and print your own cookbook. Each version is a little different in features but I found the old ones works fine for what I need. I use MasterCook Deluxe 4. This version, if I remember correctly, contains both a Mac and PC version on the CD. I don't know if there are newer versions for Mac, I've only seen PC versions after 4. I found my copy at a thrift store. They are pretty common and you should be able to find one easily on eBay. I have all my tried and true recipes in MasterCook. I can insert notes or adjustments on the fly. Or search for all recipes using a certain ingredient. I have some special categories, like Thanksgiving, so choose the meal plan and have it make a shopping list for me. Very fun : ) I tried a lot of the recipe shareware programs but couldn't get them to work on both the PB 170 and my G3. I need the software to run on my online computer so that I can download new recipes or be able to email them to friends. Laura -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: better browser for OS9.2.2
Under classic Mac OS I used Netscape Navigator 4.08 until it simply could no longer connect to the sites I use most (bank, PayPal, eBay, etc.) I used icab and Nav 408 together for a bit before discovering the wamcom Mozilla port. http://wamcom.org/latest-131/ I've yet to discover anything to stop it, and it's fast and stable. Lately, it's the browser I've been pushing on customers, friends and family. So far so good . . . In X I use both FireFox and Safari.

Isn't it strange how input devices really haven't improved since circa 1990? I've tried all sorts of mice/T-balls/T-pads and KBs, but I've not yet found anything superior (or even equal) to the above combination. With 'Books, I use a USB Kensington Orbit. While not tiny, it's just compact enough to slip into a 'Book case. The ball is smaller than the billiard-sized balls I so love with my desktop, but large enough to be unfiddly, unlike some other portable trackballs I've seen. Cheap too, I think I paid $12 or thereabouts for a pair of 'em (brand new!) on eBay. I confess, it's mostly for gaming, ever play a FPS with a T-pad?!? When bopping about however I still mostly use the trackpad, it does rather defeat alot of the portability thing dealing with a dangling T-ball.

Re: Lucent Silver to Gold
Alex Wenzel [EMAIL PROTECTED] opined: A PC Card won't fit into an internal Pismo Airport slot. to which Drew Kershaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (correctly) replied: I beg to differ seeing as how I'VE DONE IT. which prompted Beniamino Cenci Goga's [EMAIL PROTECTED] query: I thoght that was the solution. Will an iBook G3 accomplish the same thing? Ought to. The Dual USB iBooks have enough room to temporarily install a PC card and I'm pretty sure (though I don't have a clamshell in front of me) that the earlier iBooks have plenty of room as well. Another alternative would be to use an AP-slot-equipped desktop to flash a Lucent-chipped PC card to 128 bit encryption. The key point is the card must be in a _real_ AP slot to use Apple's 2.0 update flasher. That rules out non-AP-slot Macs (eg: Lombard, Wallstreet, etc.), but includes Pismo, G3 iBooks, TiBooks, and any PM G4 Sawtooth or later, plus most slotload G3 iMacs, though I'm not sure about how easy it would be to get a full-sized PC card into that AP card area. dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 1/2 OT: watch out seller _ follow up
OTOH . . . I've been an eBay buyer and seller since July '98 with 100% positive rating of 450 on 526 feedbacks (dankephoto.) I treat my buyers as I would wish to be treated and they've reciprocated in kind. As a seller I _always_ leave positive feedback once the item has shipped. The buyer has done their part by paying, else why would I have shipped the item? If the buyer has a problem with the item, I make it right based on my guarantee of satisfaction, rather than an implied threat based on so-far unleft feedback. Similarly, I never leave feedback for those from whom I've bought until they leave feedback for me. I consider my obligation finished once I've payed, if the seller is too cynical to leave feedback, well then I say they don't need mine. The idea that I'm obligated to be _satisfied_() before the seller posts feedback is the height of arrogance on their part. I'm not interested in rewarding such people for their presumption. In response to the OP's question - the seller doesn't have to leave feedback, and nor do you. If you feel they have not treated you courteously you are entitled to withhold any positive words you otherwise might have written. dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

1400C Sonnet G3/333/512 got HOT!!
Ouch! I just grabbed my (sleeping?!?!) 1400 to check the benchmarking results of a Viper 340mb PC card drive . . . Wow, the whole base is burning hot! It's been sleeping (?) for at least a week hooked to a PS. The battery isn't very hot, but the heatsink is waaay too hot to touch, it's scorching hot!! I didn't notice if the sleep light was on prior to opening the lid, but I'm thinking it wasn't. I'm sure it didn't help whatever happened that it was inside a stack of other 'Books. I'm thinking I had a similar problem before, but can't recall now if it was with this processor or with a 183.

Re: Viper PCMCIA Harddrives
Walt Nicholas [EMAIL PROTECTED] reports: I saw an item that peaked my interest enough to buy one. Surplus Computers of Santa Clara has three sizes of Viper PCMCIA Harddrives, 170 meg, 240 meg and 300 something. They fit in my PB3400 through the dual size PCMCIA slot. The info says they're a type 3 card. They initialize, and format and I've loaded 8.0 and 8.6 on one each for trouble shooting. I bought one of the 340MBers for US$19.50 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=6701021474 pretty nifty. I benchmarked it in a 1400/G3/9.1 using TimeDrive 3.

Re: Where to get PowerBook 1400 CD-ROM Module and PCMCIA SCSI card?
Andrew McCall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wanted to know about SCSI PC card adapters for a PB1400. I'm not clear on why one would need or want such a thing for a 1400, the obvious answer is to use the built-in SCSI port. Eh? Also, 1400 CD expansion bay modules are widely available even in the UK . . . again going for the obvious, how about eBay? 6x and 8x modules sell for (USD) $15 to $50, 12x for $20 to $60, keep a continuous watch for a bit and ye will be rewarded with a bargain. A dead 12x (_cheap_!) is almost always the best deal, as a replacement Teac 24x CD-224e drive mechanism (eBay, usually new) can be found for under $20.

Re: PB 540c
Mattox, Thoma [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: What is the largest hard drive that I can use in this? I have a 1GB hard drive that uses the IDE to SCSI adapter. I would like to go larger, but not sure how large I can go... Also, what are the specs on what hard drive I need to look for? I know IDE, but anything else I need to look for? With your 1GB drive you can go up to ~8GB, the size limited by the ADTX adapter's controller. You can use any size drive, but larger drives will format only to that ~8GB limit. Using another adapter you may be able to go larger, the pair of Century adapters I've got have a 32GB limit. I've got 30GB travelstars attached to mine inside PPC/167-powered 540Cs, and they work dandy.

Re: Possible to use two Connectix QuickCams using one PowerBook?
I wrote: AFAIK it's not possible to use more than one Quicktime camera with any Macintosh, at least not under a classic Mac OS as QT can't deal with more than one video source at once. to which George Mogiljansky [EMAIL PROTECTED] replied: Thanks for that. I should have mentioned that I will be attempting to use either or both CoolCam and DigitalRadar apps. The camera(s) will only be activated (I'm hoping) when a certain set of conditions is met (probably involving night-time darkness). The powerbook will be unattended for long periods of time (probably weeks). I am searching for a 3400-compatible USB PCMCIA card that will provide enough power to connect a Kensington USB cam as a second camera (if that's possible - to use both the Connectix and the Kensington). Power failures are common in the area, so the Li ion battery will have to take over and keep things humming until the power comes back on. This means I cannot use a desktop (which might have made things easier). So far, I have avoided the option of getting a proper surveillance apparatus. Is there any other Mac-ready option (HW or SW or both) that might be useful? Doesn't matter the source (serial or USB), if using QuickTime as the underlying transport you cannot have more than one video input at a time per Mac. Your's is an interesting problem and I'm curious to see how you solve it. My thinking, given the one-camera-per-Mac limit, is to use multiple inexpensive PBs to do the capturing. IIRC, Digital Radar can run on any 68030 or better, so even a PB500 or 190 would do the trick. A PB500 has built-in ethernet _and_ video out, but uses (small) SCSI HDs and has no PCcard slots. The PB190 has PCcard slots and uses ATA drives but lacks video out and built-in enet . . . sigh. Another idea - I've been seeing stand-alone IP-based cams for around $100, eg: http://www.pimfg.com/product_detail.asp?master_desc=secondary_desc=part= IC-300 and w/audio: http://www.pimfg.com/product_detail.asp?master_desc=secondary_desc=part= IC-301 more money, more features?: http://www.pimfg.com/product_detail.asp?master_desc=secondary_desc=part= NC-1000S more more features, and wifi connected to boot: http://www.pimfg.com/product_detail.asp?master_desc=secondary_desc=part= NC-1000W Might something like one of these be an option? Interestingly, you can probably run a QuickCam on your 3400 while simultaneously accepting an IP video feed. Another (more costly) solution is conventional video surveillance hardware, with video cameras feeding either into a time-lapse VCR or into a Mac-based video digitizer. The key with these setups is using a multiplexer, which lumps several video feeds into one. I'm sure you've seen security screens where there are, for example, 4 individual pictures on one TV monitor. IIRC, a four-up multiplexer ain't cheap ($300?), but it may be possible to source something pre-owned. BTW, if theft is the problem you face, aren't you a tad concerned the thieves will make off with your carefully crafted surveillance setup? :-P dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Blackbird 520PPC
Mattox, Thoma [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: The PPC cards created for the Blackbird were made by 2 companies...Sonnetts (sold as an Apple upgrade) and Newer Technologies. Both companies used the PPC 603e processors. Sonnetts ran around 117mhz with 8mb ram and Newer had at least 2 different upgrades. One ran at 167mhz with 8mb ram and the other ran at 182mhz with L2 Cache and 25 mb ram (I think). I've never before heard that the Apple PPC upgrade was made by Sonnet. My understanding is that Newer made all the PPC upgrades, including the 100mHz Apple-branded item, as well as the Newer branded 117, 133, 167 and 183 upgrades. The Apple item includes 8MB of ram on the upgrade card. The 117, 133 and 167 upgrades were available with on-card ram in quatities of 0MB, 4MB and 8MB. AFAIK the 183 (a much different design than the earlier models BTW) never shipped with the promised 24MB on-card ram. There may be a few 183/24MB dev units out in the world, but apparently some technical difficulty and/or parts shortages precluded actual shipping product before all PB500 upgrade production ended. All PB500 PPC upgrades speeds are hardware set, any ASP-reported discrepancies between an upgrades reported speed and its actual speed are the result of ASP's inability to deal with non-standard hardware. The 183 upgrade _does_ need the init to enable its cache, however it still runs at 183 even if the init isn't present. An additional _major_ function of the init was to ensure ASP correctly reported the upgrade's speed. Before the init was released, customers were complaining in droves that ASP was reporting wrong processor speeds (usually low!) A utility like Newer's Gauge PRO will correctly report the processor speed even when ASP will not.

Re: SCSI DVD ROM or PB1400c
PBs 1400 can use an expansion bay DVD-ROM drive using a 12x CD-ROM EBM shell and interface board. Laptop/slim DVD reader mechanisms are _very_ cheap. I tested a slim DVD-ROM reader I had laying about and it worked fine reading DVD-ROMs. my page on 1400 optical EBMs: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/ebms.html#1400_12x While PBs 1400 can access data DVDs, they cannot play video DVDs (AFAIK), the video hardware just ain't near-enough powerful. Hmm, unless there's a SW decoder that will work with a G3 upgrade under classic Mac OS. Which I've never seen. But about which I'd gladly learn. :-) Any PCI desktop Macs can use an ATAPI DVD drive through a PCI/ATA adapter. In theory (haven't done it myself, near as I can recall) such a video-DVD-capable display card as a Radeon Mac Edition or R7000 can do the trick under both OSes 9 and X. Might require a bit of hackage to get installed and running, I'm not exactly familiar with the details. hth, Dan K . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: PB 5300 using a 3400/Kanga battery?
As Roger points out, a 5300 cannot charge a LiIon battery (AFAIK), but can indeed run on one. A couple of eons (errr . . . years) ago, I tested a 5300C with a 3400 battery. I recall that at full clip (no powersaving at all) it got something over 4 hours of runtime. Not sure now how much over, might have been 6 or 8 hours or some crazy amount. I DO remember though being VERY VERY impressed, especially since I was used to my 1400 batteries lasting at most 1.5 hrs on a _good_ day. Long time ago, old brain leaks, y'all understand (hopefully. :-) Dan K . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 1400 CD drive options?
Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: Is there any way yet to put a faster or -RW drive in a 6X carrier? The last I read you could put a 24X -RW drive in, but only if you had the 12X CD module to start with. And that concurs with the guy who is always selling the 24X -RW internals on ebay... I'm not aware of any CD-RW device using the same physical interface used in the 6x/8x 1400 CD drives. The easiest, simplest and probably cheapest path to a modern optical drive is to acquire a 12x EBM with its standard mechanism interface connector. see my EBM page for more infos: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/ebms.html One could however use a 6x/8x EBM as a HD EBM: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/pb1400_hd_ebm.html Mad Dog Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] chimed in: As far as I know, no one has sucessfully been able to burn a CD using an internal CDR/W/ on a 1400. You can put one in (I forget the model), and it will read fine, but not burn. IIRC. I've read (Japanese page of course! :-) that B's Recorder Gold can burn to a 1400 EBM CD-RW. However I haven't been able to track down that sw myself, so can't confirm or deny. and more from MD: Now, again, IIRC, you can replace the 6x with a TEAC 12x mechanism, the 8x for a 16x TEAC, and a 12x for a 24X TEAC. Not exactly sure about the 6x swap though. MD, I'm not aware of those other mechanisms to which you refer, but I see no reason an 8x mechanism wouldn't fit a 6x EBM. Not that that matters a whole heck of a lot. If those faster Teac mechanisms (with that particular IF) are out there, they are likely not very common.

Re: PB3400c ADB chip ?
Tom P aka Mad Dog asks: Does anyone know which chip on the 3400 controlls the ADB ? Opening the PB3400 devnote . . . the Architecture block chart on page 11 shows the PMU IC with ADB responsibilities. Then on pages 15 and 16 we find this helpful info: quote Power Management Unit The power management unit (PMU) is a 68HC05 microprocessor that operates with its own RAM and ROM. The PMU IC performs the following functions: controls sleep and power on and off sequences controls power to the other ICs controls clock signals to the other ICs supports the ADB scans the keyboard controls display brightness monitors battery charge level controls battery charging /quote does any of that help?

Re: PB 520c track pad the same as the 5300????
Drew Kershaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The trackpad mechanism itself may be swappable, but I'm pretty sure that it isn't. I believe the 5x0 series used a 1st generation trackpad, the 5300 a 2nd generation trackpad, and the 190, 2300, and 1400 all used a 3rd generation trackpad. The connectors on each should be unique. Anyone with a 5300 and a 500 series care to take a look? Yes, the 500 and 5300 TPs should be swappable (same PCB part number, chips and connector.) Haven't done it myself though, at least not that I can recall. :-) The 2300, 190, 3400, Kanga and Wallstreet pads should all be interchangable (exactly the same-shape PCB and same connector.) I've used 3400 TPs in 2300 and 190 TPs in 3400. The 2300's pad is the only one that's _not_ 'tappable'. Wallstreet's TP is nearly identical, but its PCB's model number is TM1002 vs. model TM1001 on the earlier TP (with one chip having a similar PN difference.) I've not used a WS TP in other 'Books so I can't say for sure if it'd work or not, though I bet it would. hth, Dan K . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iDVD a Pismo?
pace [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: Has anyone found a way to get iDVD to work on a G3 Powerbook 2000, firewire/pismo? Is there a way to get one of the superdrives to work in these, that let iDVD work? The only solution of which I'm aware: attach an iDVD-compatible DVD-R to the expansion bay bus. I haven't done this myself, but I did supply an empty EBM HD case to someone who then built a adapter cable from the EBM's interface connector out to an external iDVD-compatible fullsize ATAPI DVD-R drive. iDVD then worked fine according to the fellow's report. Kinda not-very-portable though . . . I've got a couple of EBM DVD-R/W drives, neither are usable with iDVD (Matshita UJ811b, Toshiba 6012 (??something like that).)
