Re: Hello everyone.
I've used LocalTalk Bridge (or the software formerly known as LaserWriter Bridge) extensively. I'm betting that you are using the LocalTalk bridge to connect your 5300cs via a printer cable to some Ethernet equipped Mac and thence to the Internet. Just guessing, but I bet you also aren't able to connect to the internet with that setup. The reason you can't get to the internet is that LocalTalk bridge ONLY works with AppleTalk, not TCP/IP. Since the internet is TCP/IP only, you're stuck. However, it is possible to encapsulate TCP/IP traffic in AppleTalk traffic. That sort of network protocol is called MacIP. So, to get online via LocalTalk bridge, you'd have a fairly complicated setup. I can help you put it together, but be warned that you will have to have another piece of software (a software based router like Vicom's Internet Gateway or Sustainable Softworks' IPNetRouter). Said software is not free. Unless you can get a copy of this software, you're going to be out of luck. Write back if you want more help, or if I'm wrong in my presumption of what you want to do. Peace, Drew (P.S. - Welcome to the list! I'm a proud owner of a 5300cs (currently doing duty as a software based router for my entire network), a 5300ce, a more-or-less dead Duo 230, a G3 (Wallstreet II/PDQ), and a mess of desktop Macs, some PCs, and two ANCIENT SPARCstations.) -- Author of ClassicStumbler email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.alksoft.com/ Want to know if your neighbor has Wi-Fi?

Re: Hello everyone.
Welcome Josh. I have used it with a beige G3 for connecting to an old Apple Color Laserwriter printer. What seems to be the issue for you?

Hello
Hello, I'm new to this list. I have a PB 1400c, 133mhz, 48 mb, 1.2 g, OS 8.6. I would like to do some upgrades to this machine. Like (I assume) most 1400 owners, memory is a problem. I know I can upgrade to a max of 64 mb internal physical memory. Replacing with the right stuff, though, is hard to find. Anyway, I have heard you can use flash cards (PC card slot) as RAM, but I don't understand how this can work, since it shows up, basically, as a disk. If this can indeed be accomplished, it would certainly solve RAM problems. Some way to have the OS see the flash card as Virtual RAM, maybe? I don't know. Any help in this area would be much appreciated. I am also having great difficulty finding the video dongle (adapter). My machine has the optional video port, and I have seen a picture of the adapter at the Apple site (I can get the part no.). However, I have spent way too many hours trying to find one. If anyone has a source, I'd be grateful. Best regards, Ken N. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
