Re: quickcam and powerbooks

The Logitech site doesn't have any FAQ entries, but the old Connectix 2.1.2 drivers on are their ftp site, and the one mac support page mentions 9.0; but that entry may predate 9.1- or it may be right, and the software works up to 9.0. Anyone know? I'd like to throw a quickcam in the bag for my 1400/9.1, if it would work. Is there a reason to run 9.1 over 9.0 on G3 1400's? It's been so long, I forget. I have run a greyscale QuickCam on both a 1400cs and a WallStreet, both with 9.1. Works OK, but it is still greyscalw and a bit grainy. I have a retail 9.1, so that is what I use. Supposed to be more stable, but I couldn't say from personal experience. Ken -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Using TCP/IP over AppleTalk in printer port File Sharing

I file-share/backup between my PB190 and 6320 via AppleTalk over a printer port and it's so dang slw! Can I possibly use TCP/IP as an option? Absolutely. You'll need an ethernet card for the 190, since I don't think that's built-in. If it is all the better. The bog-simplest way is to buy a cheap ethernet hub, and one ethernet cable for each computer, plug it all together, turn 'em on and set appletalk to use the ethernet. Voila. The *cheapest* way is to connect the two with a crossover cable, but you will run into the situation whereby the first mac booting up will not 'see' anything on the ethernet, and set it's appletalk back to the prnter port. You'll have to be constantly turning appletalk back to the ethernet port on one or the other of the systems if you do it this way. However, that is not TCP/IP as I understand things. That is AppleTalk over Ethernet or, maybe EtherTalk? Still, a quantum improvement over printer port AppleTalk. Ken -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Dead 140 - revived - partially
My Reply follows quote. On 17/06/2003 10:08 [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: My PB145 works fine with charged battery, dead battery, or no battery at all. I just booted it not 5 minutes ago without one. The only thing that would prevent booting was a bad or totally dead battery. In the case of totally dead, plugging in the PB (off, not asleep) with battery over a weekend. Incidentally, does anyone know how to open up a PB 1xx battery pack without damaging it? Or with a minimal amount of damage? Well, I have opened them. Because they are glued/welded at the seams, some damage does happen. However, by using a slim screwdriver and starting at the area near the connector I have worked my way around the perimeter with little enough damage to be able to glue it back together. I expect your results depends largely on how much glue was used in the first place. And does anyone know an approximate average Amp-Hour rating for a normal 6V lantern battery? Hmmm, no, but the real problem with these things is that they are either the old carbon-zinc or the newer alkaline things (at least the non-recargeable ones). Thus their voltage curve in use makes them not suitable for computer use. A Nickel-Cadmium cell has a rather flat decay curve until it reaches near discharge. The older cells have a steady slope decay and, while they will deliver some power over a longer time, their delivery voltage quickly drops below that needed for electronic devices such as a computer which need a constant voltage supply.
