Hi everybody, I have Kingston CF card 512MB with pcmcia adapter in PB3400 
slot but first I reformatted it using SilverLining v5.6 to HFS format on my
G3 Beige, always recognised by my 3400, no problems, very stable, mike.

Hi...

My 3400c is only recognizing my RAM card at certain times...I've got
a 32MB card in, and it is known-good, but the 3400c doesn't even see
it most of the time I power up.  I don't get any messages that the
RAM card is damaged; call tech support, etc...

Any help would be appreciated :-)

Ian

 Is it firmly seated in the socket ?  Sometimes the RAM card can get
 loose.  Later versions of the 3400 came with a small strip of foam on
 the keyboard that would help press the RAM card in the socket.

 Hello, and first off I would like to announce my re-subscription to
 this mailing list.  I left as my 1400 died but after about 4 months I
 used it and it started to work.  Now I have the urge to upgrade my
 1400 to Mac OS 9.  At the moment I have Mac OS 8.6 and it runs
 smoothly and I like it, but I like some of the features of Mac OS 9.
 So please give me your thoughts!

 I've tried OS 9.1 on all three of the 1400 flavors and even with 64MB
 of RAM they don't run nealry as quick as with OS 8.6. I have always
 put OS 8.6 back on the 1400's because it they were too slow.

 Without a G3 upgrade in a 1400 it will not handle OS 9 very well.

Re: desktop pictures

2006-01-10 Thread mike chew

Try Decor v3.0 under System 7.5.3 or System 7.5.5, works! -mike.




I know this doesn't directly involve PowerBooks, but I was wondering
if it is possible to use the Desktop Pictures control panel from Mac
OS 8 in System 7.5.5. I tried it with no luck. It just gave me an
error saying that it wasn't properly installed and to put it in my
Control Panels folder, even though it was in the Control Panels
folder. If it isn't possible are there any third-party programs that
will do the same thing? Thanks

-Kevin

Re: 1400/117 problems

2005-11-27 Thread mike chew

Hi members,
For external CD-ROM, you need FWB CDROM Tool Kit, wireless pc card, 
you need Lucent Technologies silver or gold card, for modem pc card, 
try some from US Robotics, Hayes optima, or Psion Dacom Global, these 
have all worked for me on my PB1400c and 3400c, thanks, mike.



Hi,
I have reeived yesterday my NEW powerbook 1400/117, this is my first 
time on MAC OS.

The battery is bad, as the CD-ROM too, but, i like it.
I also have some PCMCIA cards, one wireless cardbus PC Card - 
802.11b, one 56K FAX MODEM, but most important, a external CDROM 
Drive.

The question, HOW CAN I RUN THIS EQUIPMENTS ON THIS POWERBOOK.
As i said before, this is my first time on MAC OS, so, i know PLUG 
AND PLAY in WINTEL, the computer recognize the components and ask 
for the drivers, HOW IS ON MAC OS?.
In the manual i downloaded from www.apple.com appear that i will see 
an icon of the card i insert on the slot, but, it does not happen.


Marcel.
