Re: Fast PowerBook?
Hi again! Thank you all for your advice and commentaries. I checked the Kanga and the 1400 side by side. The Kanga feels faster, thanks to the better video, it has faster screen redraws. It has better sound, too. Both were running OS 9.1. One advantage of the Kanga is that I could kludge a USB PC Card to work on it, but the 1400 can't use USB. The Kanga is noticeably heavier. But the CD Drive is faster (20x, against 12x). I'm still undecided... I do love the 1400, but I think I'll have to move on. Where can I d/l some application to compare them? Would Norton Disk Doctor be enough? TIA best regards.

Buck up little soldier, if your Ti is doing what you need done that's truely all that matters. This ain't some LapTop Fashion Show. You should see me romping around with my PowerBook 5300 greyscale and my faithful Compaq Contura 400C. The 5300 grey runs system 7.6 and my Compaq is running RedHat Linux 5.2. I love these old slabs. anything I need to do portable I can do with these.

Re: Fast PowerBook?
My guess is that the two would be about equal in speed. The CPU in the 1400c is going to be faster, but the entire subsystem of the Kanga is much faster--better graphics, better disk controller, PCI architecture. It's probably a wash, or very close to it. The most important factor, for me, would be that I could take the Kanga to 160 MB of RAM, whereas the 1400 is stuck at 64 no matter what you do. Of course, the Kanga is also a lot heavier, and as someone else mentioned, Kanga spare parts aren't easy to come by. If the logic board failed, you might have to settle for a slower 3400 board, while 1400 parts are readily available. I'm a happy 3400 user myself, and the Kanga is its big brother, so I may be biased too... -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I'd LOVE for a way to network my Amiga 500 with either my PB 190 or 6320! This is getting off-topic kinda but what the heck. My 128 is wired into the apartment Ethernet via a device called a Lantronix UDS-10, which has a modem mode allowing you to dial IP addresses with standard Hayes AT commands. To connect to my Unix host (a Mac running NetBSD, natch), I just type ATDT256.256.256.256/23 (insert your address here), and it opens up a telnet connection that any terminal program can use. This works with anything with a serial port. I'm not sure if there's an Ethernet solution for the A500 (I have an A500 myself with a GVP accelerator), but I know that the A1200 accommodates PCMCIA cards, and there are some with AmigaOS and NetBSD/amiga drivers. -- -- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

Fast PowerBook?
Hi, everyone! I have a 1400c with Mac OS 9.1, a Sonnet G3 333 MHz/1 Mb, 64 Mb, 16-bit Video out card, a 3 Gb Fujitsu HD, and a Global Village 56K Modem/Ethernet PC Card. This is my main (and favorite) computer. I use it mainly for internet browsing, and a little Photoshop editing. I can get, for a reasonable price, a Kanga, with Mac OS 9.1, a G3 250 MHz/512 K, 48 Mb, internal Video out, a 5 Gb HD, internal Ethernet, and a MegaHertz 56K PC Card modem (plus the internal 33.6 K). My question: Would the Kanga is faster for what I use it? I know it has a faster bus (50 MHz, the 1400 is only 33 MHz), but the 1400 has a faster CPU... Advantages? Disadvantages? Opinions?

Such as parts. If anything goes haywire on a Kanga, there's a good chance it will be tough to find a replacement for it, and if you do, they'll have you by the you-know-whats. A crucial point could very well be the availibiliity of replacement batteries, it's easy to get them for the 1400 - not sure about the Kanga, might be able to use one from another 'Book, like maybe the 3400...anyone?. The 1400 is a breeze to find a new screen, new processor, new keyboard etc. for. Oh yeah, the 1400's keyboard is supposed to be much nicer FWIW. One more point for the 1400 - the Kanga is somehow even heavier...not sure how they pulled that one off. ;-) The Kanga probably has better video, in terms of responsiveness if not resolution, and has more RAM capacity (though OSX would probably be too much for the little fella' even if there's a hack available for installation). 160Mb RAM in the Kanga would make OS9.1 very happy for sure, though. The Kanga has built-in ethernet, as well. I'd stay with the 1400, but I am a happy user of one so I am biased... ;-) Best, David __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
