Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 16:18:18 -0500 From: Noah Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, looks like I'll keep OS 8.6 for now. Anyway does RamDoubler really work? I do like OS 8.6 and it runs fast for me, I just need to find a G3 upgrade somewhere. Noah, I had OS 8.6 on a 1400 w/56MB RAM, went to OS 9.0.4, then 9.1 for a while, eventually back to OS 8.6 ... Do get more real Ram !!! I agree w/ Howard (see below), I think RamDoubler 8 out performs Apples Virtual Memory using OS 8.6. It accomplishes the task in a more efficient manner and is somewhat tweakable If you do go to OS 9.x, you'll need RamDoubler 9 ... You could join the LEM Swap List, then place a WTB for a G3 upgrade.

Re: 1400 Mac OS 9
CF usage has been discussed here before, but when has that ever stopped us? :) I used to boot my 5300 from a CF--the 512 has plenty of room to hold a system folder, and everything loads faster than the HD. I actually had the system folder on the HD too--when I wanted to use my wifi card--I never could get the hang of the location manager, so when I wanted to do wifi, I just popped out the CF, and when the PB couldn't find it's defined startup device, it defaulted to the next mass storage device, the HD, and booted from it. Worked just fine until the 5300 died and and I didn't want to buy a 3rd unit. (Well, I did end up getting a G4 Powerbook, but I still run my PPC'd 520c at home all the time. :) ) Later.Howard Computer n.

I agree with the other listers; without a G3 upgrade in your 1400, running OS9 , while certainly possible (a friend has it on his 5300ce!) , is not going to set any speed records. A 233mhz G3 processor should be in the $50 range now, or even cheaper is the 183mhz PPC upgrade, if you can find one. I would also say get yourself the RAM module you need to boost your onboard RAM up to the max 64mb. Then, instead of using virtual, get yourself a copy of RAM Doubler. That at least makes the 64mb ceiling possible to deal with. Finally, apart from some high-end things, 8.6 and 9.0 seem pretty much the same to me, although admittedly I may not know what I am talking about. I remember I once was interesed in putting iTunes on my main Powerbook, and contemplated moving to OS9, but then I found a patch that would allow iTunes to be used it 8.6.

Re: 1400 Mac OS 9
Welcome back, Noah! I've never run OS 9, so I have no input (other than to say I repeatedly hear that it runs kinda slow on a stock 1400). Are you thinking of getting a G3 upgrade at some point? What features of OS9 are you really wanting to get? I've considered it, but haven't heard any compelling reasons to get off 8.5 yet. Also, I'm a bit curious how you make do with such a smallish hard drive. I get by okay on one about the same size, but I'm more willing than most to run older (therefore, smaller) versions of many of my apps. Even at that, though, I'm starting to feel the squeeze.

Re: 1400 Mac OS 9
With those specs, I would clearly advise upgrading the RAM in your 1400. It really takes 64 MB of RAM to really make 9 sing, at the least. Of course, I haven't run 9 on anything less than a G3 Lombard with 192 MB of RAM and the 400 MHz processor, so I can't speak for a 1400.

Re: Xpostfacto and OS X on older PowerBooks
So it's possible to run Mac OS X on a PowerBook 3400 and a Kanga...but my question is, how fast (or not fast, rather) is OS X going to run on a 603e chip? Has anybody tried this? Does anybody have any experience with this matter? The 3400 video controller is fully supported; the Kanga's will only work in 256 colors at the present time. The Kanga's controller is a slightly improved version of the Chips Technologies controller in the 3400. I've run OS X on two 3400's, or should I say, the same one with a new logic board after it developed sleeping sickness. The first time, it was a 3400/240 with 144 MB of RAM, which ran 10.1.5. Performance was pretty bad, the system just chokes on anything graphical. Later on, I booted it in 10.1.5 after replacing the logic board with a new 3400/180 board, which as you might imagine was even worse. The system now runs 10.2.8 and the CPU has been chipped to a stable 198 MHz by replacing the clock crystal. It's faster than it was before, but still not anything I'd want to use on a day-to-day basis, and I usually stay in OS 9. (Interestingly, the 198/44 configuration seems faster than 240/40 in a lot of cases.) -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Which version of OS X?
I Have to agree with drew on that one. 10.3 seems to start faster and run a-lot better on a g3 powerbook and the interface seems more easy on the eye that 10.2. But being a pre G3 list i would say, What's the specs of the 603 you are trying to load it on. (this really does matter) I did get 10.1 to run on a 3400c with maxed out ram and 10gb hdd but some of the ports did not work and also the book was so slow that it hung most of the time . My first impression of it though was (hey great I done it! ) (what's next?) moved on to try Linux still doing that. vicki On Dec 15, 2005, at 6:23 AM, Andrew Kershaw wrote: I know that with each release of OS X, Apple has made the operating system faster and more efficient.

Re: Xpostfacto and OS X on older PowerBooks
I have managed to do so with 10.1 running on an 240mhz PB 3400 (with 144mb ram). For the fun and the experience it may be interesting but for working it is hardly impossible, the machine is incredibly slow. So to answer your question: Solw ,very very slow.

With HomePage I can build web pages. With the CD drive I can even plug in speakers and play CD's. OK it's not iTunes but very acceptable I don't think you'll get 9.2.2 on it - I can't load it on mine and 8.6 runs OK. Add a few shareware/freeware enhancements and it's a great machine.

Linksys ethernet card on OS 7.5.3
I've got an old Linksys ethernet card from my PC notebook, and I want to use it in my 190. Does anyone know if it'll work when I plug it in, similar to my unsupported Xircom modem, or do I need special drivers? I've got the card in storage, so I don't remember the exact model #, but I'm going to dig it out for my Turkey Day Dash. Thanks in advance, Caleb P.S. I got my 190 back up. Apparently the LCD connector had wiggled loose or something. -- PowerBook 190 - OS 7.5.3 HP Pavilion a520n - Windoze X(tremely) P(ainful), Mac OS 7.5.3 -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

1400c OS Question
Howdy Helpful Listers No, I'm not getting a 1400c, but I'm about to make an attempt to set one up for someone. Since its hard drive has to be wiped, I need to put an OS on it.

Re: 1400c OS Question
Simply put, don't bother with anything above OS 8.6. 9.2 will not run on any 1400 without some hacking, the best you can consider is 9.1, and I wouldn't bother with that unless you have a G3 processor card in it. 32 megs of RAM should get someone by in OS 8.6, but more is always nice. I think 8.1 would run with less RAM being used up, but it has less features too. I'd suggest you take the 133 mHz processor the other gentleman offered and put that in (it's super duper easy, trust me, you can handle it).

Adding RAM or making other I have just such a machine - although with more RAM - 56MB total. Yours should run fairly reasonably though Take the offer of the card - I had to pay for mine :-( Very easy to fit and it makes a whole world of difference I run 8.6. ClarisWorks 5 for WP etc. and iCab/Netscape (4 something?) for email and web stuff (pretty slow, and some sites are only geared for newer machines so I give them a miss), I have eMailer 2 and would love to run that but have had no luck so far. Saying that, Netscape covers eMail, Newsgroups and Web - but eMailer is nicer!! Two things that I've added from the advice and help of this list are a wireless card and a compact flash adapter with 128MB to act as VM As a WP machine the 1400 is lovely. The keyboard is superior to the Pismo I'm using. The only drawback is I can't easily get photos from my camera to the 1400. It'll run Photoshop 3 and Graphic Converter. With HomePage I can build web pages. With the CD drive I can even plug in speakers and play CD's. OK it's not iTunes but very acceptable I don't think you'll get 9.2.2 on it - I can't load it on mine and 8.6 runs OK. Add a few shareware/freeware enhancements and it's a great machine.

It will contain all the control panels and extensions from the old system. Check that folder against the new folder to see if you need to move anything. If you haven't installed anything, you probably won't have to do this. I can't remember what version, if any, of Netscape shipped with OS 8 so check for anything related to Netscape 3.

Re: OS 7.5.3
Here's exactly what I did: 1. I painstakingly copied all 19 files to my PowerBook on a floppy disk 2. I made a 5MB RAM disk 3. I installed a minimum System Folder onto the RAM disk 4. I booted off of the RAM disk 5. I renamed my System Folder 6. I put my System file in a different folder 7. I installed OS 7.5.3 on my hard disk 8. I copied the nessecary extensions and control panels from my old System Folder to my new one 9. I deleted my old System Folder In the end my efforts were successful. I also upgraded my RAM to 20MB, so now it starts up way faster than OS 8.0. And Netscape did work. Thanks for the help! -- -John -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Thanks also to Dan, who directed me to the article on info.apple.com. As suggested by the article, I still cannot login eMac (10.4.2) 2400c (8.6). But I CAN log into my eMac from my 2400c. File copying is a breeze. And what is more, I am doing it over the wireless network, so I don't even have to mess with the ethernet card and cable at all!

iTunes 1.1 OS 8.6 install on PB2400c SUCCESS! / How hot do pc cards run?
Greeings. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions helping get iTunes 1.1 installed on my PB2400c running OS 8.6. Success at last! In my last email I reported having successfully located iTunes 1.1 from several list members and the OS 8 patch from http:// macupdate.com. I also indicated a successful patch on (yes) BOTH the 1.1 installer, and then on the application and extension, but I was experiencing crashes (error types 9, 11) during the set-up after launching iTunes for the first time. I tried increasing memory—no help. The suggestion that did it was from David Sims. I still had QuickTime 3 on the 'Book. When I updated to v. 5.0.2 (still on Apple's site) iTunes 1.1, now patched for OS 8.6, worked perfectly! Thanks David!!! I think I am just about totally set. Wireless card, ethernet pc card, updated browser, Office 98, and now iTunes so I can listen to my favorite internet radio stations! I know iTunes 1.x doesn't support AAC, so I'll have to re-rip any CDs to mp3. But I'll wait on this until I get a larger hard drive. The old 1.3GB in there now is over half full. I also want to look into a compact flash/pc card adapter to run as a boot disk with my system and apps installed. Oh, thinking of pc cards... I noticed when I eject my wireless or ethernet cards they are pretty hot. I am assuming this is normal. But is there anything I need to be concerned about here? Any strategies for cooling—like, maybe one of those pads with the risers on the back to allow circulation underneath the 'Book? Thanks again to everyone! This is a great list—VERY helpful! Gary F.

Ethernet communication problem between OS 8.6 and 10.4.2
Greetings again. I just remembered something else I wanted to ask about. I tried to setup a patch cable ethernet connection (via a ethernet pc card) between my 2400c running OS 8.6 and my desktop Mac running OS X 10.4.2. I wanted a way to do quick file transfers. I am using Network Browser on PB and the Network window on OS X on my eMac. File sharing is on on both machines. I don't detect any firewall issues. I can see each computer come up on both machines, but when I try to connect I get a message on the eMac that the AP- something is not compatible. Is there a work-around or an alternative method to enable me to do file transfers between these two computers? Thanks! Gary F. Daught [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * Greetings.

Hi, You can still download iTunes 2.0.4 at VersionTracker.com for Mac OS, however, it says OS 9.0.4 or higher. The only Web browser that I know of that is still being actively developed for Mac OS 8.6 and above is iCab. There is a new Beta3 version available for that.

Best OS for my PB2400?
Greetings. The PowerBook 2400c I am getting is currently configured with 2GB hard drive, 80MB RAM, and running System 7.6. I amy eventually opt for a larger hard drive, but will likely live with the existing 80MB RAM. I am thinking about an OS upgrade and would be interested in your advice regarding the best OS to run under this configuration. Oh, I am definitely interested in getting a wireless pc card, and may eventually get a USB pc card (if the 2400 is truly CardBus compliant). Thoughts? Thanks! Gary F.

Re: Best OS for my PB2400?
I'd run OS 8.6 on a 2400 with that configuration. It can do OS 9, but 9 in my experience is a little sluggish on a 603e unless you're using a 3400c or a desktop with 128MB or more of RAM. I think you'd find that 8.6 gives you a good balance of features without OS 9's sometimes bloated feeling. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

If you go to OS 8.6 You may need more ram than you currently have. Also read the section on my Wireless FAQ for Known Issues with v7.2 of the Orinoco drivers. The AppleTalk and TCP/IP selections may have been named Ethernet instead of Alternate Ethernet in OS 8.1, so that should not be a problem. In the TCP/IP control panel, put those DSN numbers in the Search Domains section. If the OS 8.1 TCP/IP has a selection that says Alternate Search Domains, then in that one put earthlink.net As for v6.3 of the software, their are links to it on my web site. Here is a direct link. http://ftp4.de.freesbie.org/pub/misc/wavelan/software/ORiNOCO/PC_Card/MacOS/ You want the file MacOS_63.bin. Use Stuffit expander to uncompress the file. This file adds a control strip module which lets you adjust the software settings. I want to remind you, that I do not have a computer using OS 8.1, so everything I say is from my old memory. If others are stilling using OS 8.1, please jump in to help. Its important to note, that your modem software installer may have placed something into the System file. While this is highly unlikely, if it did, then you will need to do a clean install of the OS. The Orinoco software does not like any modification to the System software. Sometimes it will complete its install, but nothing will work. This is covered on my Wireless FAQ. The key to solving your problem is to get wireless working before adding WEP. As I understand, you need 128bit WEP to access the network at work. It has been my experience that getting wireless to work on a PB 1400 or any other PB that uses card and socket services v2 is difficult. Don't worry about that, because it's in the ROMS and you cannot update it. While difficult, wireless can be installed on your 1400. I am typing this to you on a PB 1400 that I have set up with wireless. I can use either the Orinoco card or the Skyline card. I prefer the Skyline, but it only supports 64bit WEP. Just a note to others following this thread. It has been my experience that the Proxima/Faralon Skyline card software v3.1 is much more mature and user friendly than the Orinoco software. If you don't need WEP or can live with 64 bit WEP, then try the Skyline card. Be sure to read Derek Miller's great site to see how to install wireless on older PowerBook computer. http://www.penmachine.com/techie/airport1400print.html#top I hope this helps.

Re: PB 1400, OS 8.1 and Wi-fi
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 11:45:57 -0700 From: Roger Andre [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PB 1400, OS 8.1 and Wi-fi Snip I have set my Appletalk control panel to Connect Via: Ethernet, and the TCP/IP control panel to Connect Via: Ethernet as well. Aside from that, I'm not really sure what to do next. My IT staff at work has the following type of info listed on our support page: Hi Roger. I have never set up the Orinoco software under OS 8.1 but lets give this a try. First off, have you ever installed a PCMCIA ethernet card? If so, then that software for that card will keep the wireless card from working. To fix that problem you will need to do a clean install of the OS. See my FAQ page for more info on this. If you have not installed a ethernet card, lets see if this will help. First select the AppleTalk Control Panel and select Alternate Ethernet. You do not have to turn on AppleTalk, just point it to the Alternate Ethernet. In the TCP/IP Control Panel, Seclct Connect Via: Alternate Ethernet, Configure: Using DHCP Server. Then make sure you have Name Server Address listed. You can use 207.217.120.83, 207.217.77.82, 207.217.126.81. These are for Earthlink. Your IT Adminstrator may have given you other numbers, if so, use them. When you want to set up the WEP Pasphrase, enter the Hexadecimal value in the WaveLan software, with a $ (Dollar) sign in front of the Hex value. Use the first HEX value your IT admin gave you. Make sure you set the channel on your card, to the same channel you want to connect to. You may want to try to update your WaveLan software with v6.3, which ads a control panel to assist you in setting up a connection. This control pannel should let you see the signal you are trying to connect to. As for testing your card, it would help if you could go to some public wireless area, and see if you can connect to their signal with out WEP. If a friend has a laptop with wireless, he could set up a computer to computer connection (called Ad Hock) and you could try to connect. You need to make sure the card and software package are working before you work on the WEP. As I said before, the Orinoco software seems to work better under OS 8.6. I am sure others on this list have made it work under OS 8.1. I hope this helps. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

Aside from that, I'm not really sure what to do next. My IT staff at work has the following type of info listed on our support page: Hi Roger. I have never set up the Orinoco software under OS 8.1 but lets give this a try. First off, have you ever installed a PCMCIA ethernet card? If so, then that software for that card will keep the wireless card from working. To fix that problem you will need to do a clean install of the OS. See my FAQ page for more info on this. If you have not installed a ethernet card, lets see if this will help. First select the AppleTalk Control Panel and select Alternate Ethernet. You do not have to turn on AppleTalk, just point it to the Alternate Ethernet. In the TCP/IP Control Panel, Seclct Connect Via: Alternate Ethernet, Configure: Using DHCP Server. Then make sure you have Name Server Address listed. You can use 207.217.120.83, 207.217.77.82, 207.217.126.81. These are for Earthlink. Your IT Adminstrator may have given you other numbers, if so, use them. When you want to set up the WEP Pasphrase, enter the Hexadecimal value in the WaveLan software, with a $ (Dollar) sign in front of the Hex value. Use the first HEX value your IT admin gave you. Make sure you set the channel on your card, to the same channel you want to connect to. You may want to try to update your WaveLan software with v6.3, which ads a control panel to assist you in setting up a connection. This control pannel should let you see the signal you are trying to connect to. As for testing your card, it would help if you could go to some public wireless area, and see if you can connect to their signal with out WEP. If a friend has a laptop with wireless, he could set up a computer to computer connection (called Ad Hock) and you could try to connect. You need to make sure the card and software package are working before you work on the WEP. As I said before, the Orinoco software seems to work better under OS 8.6. I am sure others on this list have made it work under OS 8.1. I hope this helps. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

PB 1400, OS 8.1 and Wi-fi
I find myself in a similar position to Spencer, and have looked at most of the documentation that has been referred to in this thread. I'm hoping someone can bridge the gap that exists between my understanding of those articles, and a wi-fi connected computer. I also have a Powerbook 1400 with OS 8.1 installed. I purchased a Orinoco Classic Gold PC Card, Model 8410-WD-A Wi-Fi card for it and downloaded Lucent Wavelan version 6.00.4 from http://ftp4.de.freesbie.org/pub/misc/wavelan/software/IEEE/PC_CARD/APPLE/v600/. After installing the Wavelan software, I see a Wavelan/IEEE pc card on my desktop, and the Ready Light on the card turns green. I even get some xmit activity while the machine is booting up. Aside from that though, I have had no further luck getting setup. The card does not show up in AppleTalk as a device that I can use for making a network connection, but the Ethernet option does. I have set my Appletalk control panel to Connect Via: Ethernet, and the TCP/IP control panel to Connect Via: Ethernet as well. Aside from that, I'm not really sure what to do next. My IT staff at work has the following type of info listed on our support page: OfficeWireless SSID: XLS 128bit WEP pasphrase: ravens or hexadecimal: (hex value ommitted) for dell wireless :(hex value ommitted) - Can someone give me a hand and explain how to: - test that the card works - see if I can detect any wireless networks - setup TCP/IP to connect to something Thanks, Roger PS - At this time I don't have the ability to upgrade my OS to 8.6, so please think in terms of 8.1 control panels and network options. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2005 19:41:27 -0700 (GMT-07:00) From: Spencer Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PB 1400, OS 8.1 and Wi-fi I know that the subject of Wi-fi cards has been discussed quite a bit. Does anyone have a list of what cards do not (or DO) have drivers available that will work with OS 8.1? I've heard that Macwireless cards have drivers compatible, but are there others? My understanding is that the popular Lucent/Orinoco cards require OS 9 or higher. Thanks, Spence Hi Spence. The Lucent/Orinoco will work from OS 8.1 to 9.2.2, but seem to work best with OS 8.6 or above. To use with OS 8.1 you will need v6 and or v6.3 of the Orinoco drivers. If you can install OS 8.6 on your PB, the use v7.2 of the Orinoco drivers. In addition, Faralon/Proxim Skyline work well from OS 7.5.5 and above, but only support 64Bit WEP. The Asante cards also have drivers for your PowerBook, but the cards are hard to find. My Wireless FAQ has a list of available drivers and cards which will work on your PowerBook. Each card that I have a picture to, has been tested on a PB 1400. It also includes troubleshoot the problems with Wireless on a PowerBook 1400. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.

I'd suggest a larger CF card. All external drives I've ever used on a Mac, either old or newer powerbook always shows a bit less than the rated size.

Re: Installing OS on 1400c
I've loaded OS 9 on my 1400c/166, with 64 mb of RAM and even with the cache, it still chokes on OS 9. I got some better results when I started cutting out extensions, but truth be told, OS 9 didn't work well for this laptop until I got a G3 card installed in it. WIth the G3 card, OS 9 sings, but I would not recomend you install it without an upgrade card, and also some extra RAM would be of help. If you plan on sticking stock, go with OS 8.1, or 8.6. I had a great experience with 8.6, and even liked in some ways better than OS 9. It ran overall more smoothly under 8.6, and 8.6 was plenty snappy as well. It has most of the features most people want from OS 9 as well. Brian -Original Message- From: S.

Also, I'd be interested to hear thoughts on how many problems I'm likely to have with OS 9.1 on a 117 MHz PowerBook (w/48 MB RAM installed)?

Subject: PB 1400, OS 8.1 and Wi-fi
PowerBooks wrote on 9/21/05, 14:32: I know that the subject of Wi-fi cards has been discussed quite a bit. Does anyone have a list of what cards do not (or DO) have drivers available that will work with OS 8.1? *** Hey Spence; Here is a list I found that might or night not help. It was for OS X but it show OS 8 and 9 plus chipsets which will tell you which ones might work with Airport.

Wi-fi card driver for OS 8.1?
Thanks for the replies about Wi-Fi and OS 8.1. It appears that the older drivers for Lucent/Orinoco PC cards are no longer available on Proxim's website--they only show version 7.2 which apparently requires OS 8.6 or later. Does anyone have the older driver they could e-mail to me as an attachment to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd be grateful. Thanks, Spence -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
