Re:
I think that any mac is better than no mac. and if she does not have a computer then when you give it to her then she will be pleased. for the cards I would go with the Orinoco card for wifi and for the cpu card try and find a 300 wallstreet cpu card, Should give the best use, hard drive any size over stock is good and the bigger the better. i have a spare 64mb ram chip you could stick in the lower slot if you want it then get a 256 for the top and that should be fine. i also have a set of 10.2 install upgrade disk's that you could have originals but you would need to find a copy of 10.1 to install it over first. The offer is there. drop me a mail if you want them and the ram chip and also your address as it is a gift for someone i see no need to profit from things that are not used. vicki -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Need HELP with a 3400c
I didn't write the first quote. Only replied to it. Why not go to Radio Shack or another supplier and get a spray can of electronic contact cleaner. And on every single contact pin and hole and card edge and slot spray the heck out of it scrub it with an old toothbrush and repeat this process at least twice more. Especially anything that stays in the machine when you swap parts out. And have you swapped parts from the working machine into the non working one? Check cables for damage and loose contacts and pins. If you have a continuity tester test every wire end to end. Good Luck Hi yes that is what I was saying you can take bits from either and put them in to work but when the second one is together it will not go. If there is more than 3 different parts from the bad Mac in my good 3400 that is dead also. I can not understand it. It does not make sense. And should not happen. vicki -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: More on my PB 190cs
I think that I should pipe in here because I think if you are going to use the old hard ware on a daily basis then good for you. I still own a duo and use it for text docs on my home network and print to an old laser-writer. I also have an old classic hooked to a apple-one BW scanner and on to the laser-writer. When considering a computer you need to think what you are going to do with it and use it before you buy it. The 190 is a very nice old-world Mac and through the use of ide hdd and wifi cards also flash ram memory cards CAN be used on a daily basis, for email and docs also the myriad of 68k games that are out and about. So if you are happy with the 190 keep it working. I use a g4 ibook for daily mail and so on and if I want to do something that needs screen size and loads of memory I use my G4 sawtooth, but still like to get the duo out and use it because it is very easy on the eye with the mono screen, If I had a 190 I would use that in-place of the duo. And I am always looking for old books to do up and give to family and friends. vicki -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

wireless for 3400
Hi have you reset everything back to the factory defaults then tried that. I know when i tried doing what you want to with my g3 and my 3400 i ended up downloading ipnet router worked wonders, but i could not afford the licence, and it was cheaper to buy a wired/wireless router. I went for the Netgear. since then i have upgraded my macs and still use the Netgear to connect all my Macs to my cable modem via wireless card's. if i ever drop a connection i just hook up to one of the ethernet ports on the Netgear and reset everything. current macs are G4 emac Latest model with airport extreme, Ibook 14.1 with airport 3400c with pro wirless card using ioxperts drivers, 1400 (backup mac) using Orinoco card, and my latest edition is a 500PPc This goes in through ethernet as the pcmcia revision c cards are about a easy to fined as a set of brass balls for the poor monkey on a cold day.

Re: no subject
I have the bare bones version of the PowerBook 1400c (117mhz/750mb, no cd, system 7.6.2) and was looking into souping it up to make it usuable for light web, email, and word processing. I have a couple of questions: 1) is it worth upgrading to a G3 Sonnet processor? depends on how much you like the Mac 2) Any ideas on good email and web surfing program(s) that actually work? I'm currently running Netscape 4, but it crashes repeatedly. icab 3) Is it worth upgrading the memory? I currently am running VM on a 256 mb flash card. Is this a viable solution? works for me what is the Macs current ram 4) Should I assume that it is pointless to upgrade the system software without upgrading the hardware? go to 8.1 it seems better on PPc macs (personal choice before i get slammed) 5) Where can I find a cd-rom module? ebay are cheap enough 6) Is all the above worth it? as for question 1 I really love the old machine and would hate to dump it. Any ideas, comments and/or cost estimates will be most appreciated.

Re: 3400c boots only with a powered external SCSI device
Hi George. not that i know of have you done a hard reset from the rear power button or a full os reinstall. or have you tried starting with a cd rom loaded in the cd draw internally instead of externally. i do have a spare 1.4gb hdd that i can send you and i can load a full copy of any os you want on it. to see if that solves the problem. if it does then you know what it is and can get a new one.

When you use an installer on that disk , Then (this is the part that I think so someone correct me if I am wrong) The installer will install the required software for the Mac desktop and not the powerbook.

Re: 5300cs upgrade woes
Hi With the video /ethernet card. There should be a dongle that attaches to the rear next to the scsi port if the connector fits into the book then chances are it is just a monitor connector. But if the connector sits out and clips on with hooks at either end chances are you just need to find the dongle . Also check your apple talk folder, if you have ethernet as one of the choices that¹s another way to tell as the 5300 has no built in ethernet. so for it to be a choice the drivers must have been loaded and the hardware there for it to see.

Re: 540c and internet
My experience with 9.1 on my 167mhz PBs 500 has been quite positive. However I think the key to using 9.1 on such older 'Books is to have maxed RAM _and_ a newer, faster HD. For example, one of my 167s currently has an original 800mb scsi HD and 40MBs RAM and it's a bit pokey for many things. However the other has the same spec except it's got a 30 gigger and it feels much snappier, much more responsive. You needn't use so large a drive of course, most any modern drive of 6 or 8GBs or so will be plenty fast enough for such older 'Books. Where/ howdid you get a 30gb SCSI HD to fit in it? or even a 6 or 8gb SCSI? Would love to try one out but havnt seen any for sale in the UK at a price that would make it worthwhile.? Ours hax maxed out RAM and an 800mb SCSI - so your comments are very applicable. Gerald Hi I think that he means that he has a 30gb ide with a ide to scsi adapter card fitted as (some one correct me if I am wrong) but I do not think they ever have or ever will make 30gb scsi laptop hdds .IT is way to expensive to do.

Re: Update to 1400 problems
Got 1400 finally to reboot, using Reset button. Everything went fine. Went to Desktop, then observed that adapter was still not being recognized. System went back to sleep as battery was not charged. Why is it not recognizing the power adapter? Battery runs less than 30 minutes. Could it be a faulty battery causing the problem? Or hard drive issues? Thank you!

Re: Getting a PowerBook 520c soon, some questions
I'm getting a PowerBook 520c quite soon, and I'm curious about a few things: 1. It only has 12 MB of RAM and a 120 MB hard drive. What's the best OS for it? Would 7.6.1 be okay? Should I get more RAM? 2. How difficult is it to replace the screen? I have heard the passive matrix color screen isn't very good, and I wouldn't mind moving to a grayscale screen if it made things easier to see. How do the various screens compare - would going from the passive matrix color to an active matrix grayscale even be worth the increase in sharpness and clarity? Or should I just get the active matrix color if I'm going to replace the screen? 3. How expensive are PPC upgrades? I've heard of 100 and 117 MHz ones, but I haven't seen more than one or two on the swap list. I'm guessing they're fairly expensive? 4. Anything in particular I should know about? I've never used or even seen a 500-series PowerBook; the oldest I've used was a PowerBook 1400c (which was pretty nice, excellent keyboard!). So if there are any special issues or things I should know about, general advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Hi Welcome First when you get the power book use it for a day or so to see if you like it before deciding to change anything. Remember opinions vary what is not good for one is perfect for another.!! Once you have gotten use to the book and like it (which I am sure you will) Max out the ram and hdd! Also if you get chance change the cpu with the 540 cpu as it is faster. If you want to use it to collect email and need a pcmcia cage for the modem I would suggest keeping the 040 cpu, and not thinking about the power pc upgrade because then you would need to find a rev C cage and they are like ROCKING HORSE SXXX AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. There is a guy on list who has lots of 5XX apps on his web site for battery reconditioning and the likes, or you could mail me off list and I will send some , also if you need the modem drivers for either the geoport or express modem (which ever it has in ) let me know and I can send them also. But the only thing to really remember is HAVE FUN WITH IT!! Vicki -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The lack of external connectivity means no built-in floppy, but it also makes extended lap use a lot more pleasant because they weigh practically nothing.

Re: PB1400 - GW Solo 2100
Was the screen compatible ? It seems to be too much of a coincidence. Mad Dog YES. It was the same screen 11.3 the only differances with it is the metal caseing that goes around the screen to bolt to the book cover. even the connectors fit. i still have a spare pcmcia cage from an acer and that looks identical to the one that is in my 1400 now i will check if that work also not this week though. i have sick babies in the house.

The main reason I wanted (and can hopefully live with) this not-too-fast p-book is because I will primarily use it for word processing while on trips. I've got the G3 s900 Supermac for the heavy loads. For reference, it has USB, Firewire, Ethernet, Serial, and of course scsi. Nearly maxed out on ram and various peripherals. The 5300 came with a Focus 16 bit Vid Card and a TDK v34 modem. So I'm thinking, what is going to be the best way for these two machines to communicate with one another. Gonna have to transfer files somehow. Right now, the p-book only has an 800 mb hard drive and I think 24 ram. Will eventually need to fix the ram issue and probably get at least a 3 gig drive. I understand Speed Doubler and Ram Doubler will be my allies. I'll accept that eventuality. But I'd like to hear what some of you have done to interface? What works best and what doesn't? The floppy just won't cut it I fear. One of those VST Zip drives seems somewhat appealing. What other upgrade options are there that have worked also? Is there a way to connect straight into my main Mac? Would I be well-off picking up an ethernet hub? Are there other options? Are there USB cards for using other peripherals? For sure I won't be going any higher then 8.6 for the OS. Not with that ram limitation anyhow. So I'd like to hear your ideas because I know many of you have gone through the steps. You've also already helped out immensely. So, while my new/used p-book is going through the REA at Apple, I can be looking around for whatever I may need. Thanks! Dave Hi Dave Me again if you dont intend to transfer really large files and you dont mind setting it up and haveing your tea whilst it works away all you need is a serial cable and use appletalk. if you want a quicker version get a pcmcia ethernet card and again use appletalk. As for your usb sorry not happening there the 5300 is not cardbus equipt and can't be made cardbus equipt??(anyone else know different). i use the serial way on my 1400 and did so on my 5300 and use ethernet on my 3400 so anyone will work ok there also if you are going to get a bigger hdd remember the scsi voodoo about partions and size in scsi mode (i think it is 4GB) anyone. good luck Victoria. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
