Re: 1400 battery rebuild?

I've heard that the 1400's NiMH batteries contain AA batteries, and

anyone direct me to info/directions on how to do this?



NiMH packs can be rebuilt since their cells have standard sizes 
usually.  A friend of mine pointed me to a Hobby shop that sells NiMH 
cells a while back.    The site is aimed 
at people who are into stuff like RC cars and such.

Re: 1400 ethernet drivers?

Hey listers,

Just picked up a PB1400 with NewerTech internal ethernet card, but it doesn't 
show up in TCP/IP or AppleTalk CPs.  OS 8.x with Apple Enet, Apple Built-in 
Ethernet, plus NB, CS and CSII extensions installed.  Special drivers needed 
to get this working?


Usually there's a driver needed to put the necessary choices into the 
TCP/IP and AppleTalk CP's.  I took a quick look around the OWC (aka 
NewerTech) but didn't see any drivers for older equipment.  You might want 
to drop them a note and see if they can send you the drivers you need.

There is also a shareware program out there called Battery Amnesia. 
I've found it pretty good for getting rid of the memory effect on my
Powerbook 1400.  I cn now get close to 2 hours of "on" time from one
battery.

Can another lister or the originator of the battery rebuild website provide a 
URL here.

It will take days for me to dig out the old email post on this.

My 190 would do that occasionally, as well. I just got to the point 
where if anything broke, I'd just hit the reset button. The amazing 
thing is that it still holds true for my Lombard, believe it or not.

Re: 1400 Sleep Light on solid, but computer off -- Help!!

[edgibsons]

Something probably just jarred loose and the computer thought there was 
a change like a video board, memory card etc.
Any time something changes even temporarily the pram refuses to let it 
start back up. If it happened one, it may happen again.

Subject: 1400 Sleep Light on solid, but computer off -- Help!!

   Hi all:

I have lurked for a while and I am happy for all the information I 

have

gleaned
from this list.  Unfortunately I now have a problem.

I was using my 1400c/166 while I was on vacation last week.  When I 

was

finished
using it for the last time, I shut it down and placed it into my
carrying case
(vertically).  I just happened to be in the bag for something else 

and

I noticed
that the sleep indicator light was on solid (not flashing).

I can't remember if this light is on solid when I am using the
computer.  The
screen is black.   I first tried pressing the  key, nothing.
Next I
attempted to turn on the computer by pressing , nothing.
Finally, I
attempted to restart the computer by pressing 

,

nothing.
I plugged in the computer, thinking that there may not be enough 

juice

in the
computer to turn on or restart.  I repeated the above steps, and
nothing.

This has never happened to me, but you are all so smart that I know
someone out
there knows what the problem is.  I suspect it is a simple problem 

and

an
equally simple fix.  I really need to get some files off this 

computer,

so I
appreciate all your sage advice :-)

Thanks ahead of time to any replies,

Carole

One more thing, I just remembered that I had forgotten to eject my ethernet 
card before I shut down.  I manually ejected it after shutdown -- I don't know 
if that made a difference in this problem?

Press the small button on the back in between the ADB and Serial ports
until it shuts off.  This is usually a PRAM error.  Then your PB
should turn on just fine

Re: 1400 & Mac OS 9

[W. Adrian D'Alessio ( FluxStringer )]

I'm at a coffee house writing this on my 1400 on wifi.
My machine is a 166 with 40 MB RAM and runs OS 9.1 just fine. 

Not as snappy as 8.6 with low RAM space but I like the features enough to put 
up with the trade off. 
Also some software needs OS 9
A 133 may be better off with 8.6 though.

Re: 1400 & Mac OS 9

[Howard R. Katz]

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.  :) )

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.
They do pop up occasionally.

 Thanks for any insights,

This may have been discussed in past posts, but I use a CompactFlash
memory card w/ adapter in one of the PCMCIA slots.
I keep some apps on the card to free up HD space.
The CF card will appear and work as a removable hard drive on your Desktop.

NON removable if you direct Virtual Memory to the CF card ...
BAD stuff will happen if you eject the card while the PB is running !!!

Fry's had a 1 day sale recently, 512 MB CF $20 after rebate, $$ to MBs,
not great compared to a used 4 GB HD, but pretty versatile,
and no lost screws ...

I got mine off of ebay.  I just checked there, and while I didn't see any

listed, a couple for .99, with s/h under $6.00.  Check Item number:

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

Noah writes,



Welcome back, Noah.  :-)

Now...uh, well...since you say your 1400 is running smoothly on 8.6 and 
you like it, and I notice that there's so little difference between OS 
8.6 and OS 9, I'd ask you, why bother upgrading? I say this from having 
run 8.6 on a Powerbook 5300c and 9.2.2 on a G3 Beige Desktop. The ONLY 
difference I ever noted between these two OS's at all is that 9.2.2 is a 
faster bootup with a snappier running Finder and apps open faster on 
9.2.2 than on 8.6, but that could also be on account of the G3 having a 
faster processor and more RAM than the 5300 (100 vs. 266 MHz, 40 MB vs. 
256 MB at the time). No, I never tried to put OS 9 on the 5300 -- listers 
here said it would crawl on 9.1, and I decided, no thank you.

Then again, I also recall that OS 9.1 on the G3 was also a slow bootup 
and sometimes sluggish, certainly in comparison to 9.2.2 (I updated to 
9.2.2 because G-listers in droves were saying my G3 would "perk up" if I 
did, and they were right) -- and so far as I'm aware, OS 9.1 is the 
highest OS even a jazzed-up 1400 can run at all...otherwise I'd suggest 
you try 9.2.2, which is the OS I like best.

Well, great to have you back on the list, and good luck!

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.

Anyway, good luck, and have fun! Patiently upgrading is half the excitement 
of resurrecting old 'books!

Agreed. However, with a G3, I *do* recommend OS 9, especially if you have
full RAM. I ran 9.1 on my 1400+G3/333 and it wasn't too bad.

I've tried OS 9.1 on all three of the 1400 flavors and even with 64MB
of RAM they don't run nealry as quick as with OS 8.6. I have always
put OS 8.6 back on the 1400's because it they were too slow.

Without a G3 upgrade in a 1400 it will not handle OS 9 very well.

About the same as my machine. Loads slowly, but works fine.
The hard drive will be a bit cramped.

Re: 1400 & Mac OS 9

[Caleb Cupples]

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: 1400/117 problems

[Tom Lee]

I have reeived yesterday my NEW powerbook 1400/117, this is my first time on 
MAC OS.

The battery is bad, as the CD-ROM too, but, i like it.
I also have some PCMCIA cards, one wireless cardbus PC Card - 802.11b, one 
56K FAX MODEM, but most important, a external CDROM Drive.

The question, HOW CAN I RUN THIS EQUIPMENTS ON THIS POWERBOOK.
As i said before, this is my first time on MAC OS, so, i know PLUG AND PLAY 
in WINTEL, the computer recognize the components and ask for the drivers, 
HOW IS ON MAC OS?.
In the manual i downloaded from www.apple.com appear that i will see an icon 
of the card i insert on the slot, but, it does not happen.


Marcel.


That is a nice powerbook -- you'll enjoy it!

Depending on the OS version you are using, you may or may not need to fiddle 
with drivers to get an external cdrom working. Just try it and see what happens.

If the wireless card is truly cardbus, it won't work in the 1400. You'll need 
to find a 16-bit pcmcia card. Popular choices are the Orinoco gold (or silver), 
and the farallon skyline card.

Once you've gotten things to work, you may wish to try fixing the internal 
CDROM drive. The 1400's drives are notorious for going out of adjustment. 
Luckily, this is not hard to fix (it just requires a small screwdriver and some 
patience). Some instructions for doing this are at 
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/gionpeters//pb1400.htm. I have done this on a 
dozen or so drives for friends, and fixed all but two.

Re: 1400/117 problems

[Andrew Kershaw]

JUST DO NOT insert a Cardbus card in your 1400.


Don't worry, he can't.  CardBus cards will not fit in a 1400.  They 
are keyed differently to prevent that from happening.


Marcel,

The wireless card will need drivers.  Who is the manufacturer?

For cards from Proxim, ORiNOCO, Lucent, WaveLAN, Dell, Sony, and a 
handful of others, you can probably find the most recent drivers on 
Proxim's website.  For cards from Farallon (the SkyLINE line of 
cards), you can also find drivers on Proxim's website.  For most of 
the other brands, you're out of luck.  If it's a Linksys card, just 
sell it or put it in a PC.  You can't use it on your 1400.


The fax/modem most likely will work without drivers (or, more 
appropriately, will work with Apple's generic fax/modem driver). 
You'll still need to configure your system for the card, though - 
check out the Modem control panel if you've got one...


The CD-ROM drive does NOT necessarily need FWB CD-ROM Tool Kit. 
Apple has a generic driver that works for most CD-ROM drives (and can 
be hacked to work with ALL CD-ROM drives).  Plug in the drive to the 
PowerBook (if you've got the right cables and adapters), put a CD-ROM 
in it, and see if the CD shows up on the PowerBook's desktop.  If it 
doesn't, post back - there may be more troubleshooting to do.


Peace,
Drew

Welcome to the world of macs. I always thought of Windoze as "Plug and
Search" instead of Plug and Play, but maybe that's just me.

You picked a great old Powerbook and there is still lots of them in
use and still my favorite of all the old Powerbooks.

Here's an invaluable site for 1400 owners:

Let's see. The PCMCIA (non cardbus, right?) cards are hit-and miss, depending 
on who made them. 

The cardbus wifi card CANNOT BE USED in the 1400, NO WAY NO HOW! Doing so 
could possibly damage the motherboard in your laptop!

The external cd-rom could work, depending on if it is a SCSI external cd-rom 
or not. Some cd-rom external drives, like the ones by VST and Addonics, can be 
used via a PCMCIA adapter with the 1400.

>As i said before, this is my first time on MAC OS, so, i know PLUG AND

>HOW IS ON MAC OS?.

Just the same, except for the part where the computer asks for the drivers(!).

No, Macs do not ask, BUT, installing the needed software is straightforward 
and the components are not 1000 little parts coded in secret-squirrel computer 
names.

>In the manual i downloaded from www.apple.com appear that i will see an
>icon of the card i insert on the slot, but, it does not happen.

Yes, you will see a generic icon of the PC card, and the name of the card 
maybe, but without the software it will be unuseable. JUST DO NOT insert a 
Cardbus card in your 1400.

Re: 1400/117 problems

Hi members,
For external CD-ROM, you need FWB CDROM Tool Kit, wireless pc card, 
you need Lucent Technologies silver or gold card, for modem pc card, 
try some from US Robotics, Hayes optima, or Psion Dacom Global, these 
have all worked for me on my PB1400c and 3400c, thanks, mike.

Welcome!!

Floppy modules are  frequently to be found on eBay or why not try the
LEM Swap list?

I have a floppy drive here but prefer to keep it to sell with my own
1400 at some future date. If you are in UK I'll gladly lend it to you

Good luck!

Re: 1400->9600 set-up

[Rick McCutcheon]

Thanks to both of you.  I should have been more clear.  By "engine" I 
was meaning that I want to use the 9600 as the primary host machine, 
precisely for the reason one of you mentions, it's still a great 
machine with enough umph to be useful...  My question was whether the 
1400 could act as "both" monitor and keyboard for it.  From what you've 
both said, it seems the monitor part of the equation is possible, but 
the keyboard is not -- which is fine, I'll just plug a keyboard into 
the back of the 9600.  (I don't have a monitor and although you're 
right that their cheap, still don't really want another one sitting 
around.)  So I should have asked how to use the 1400 as a monitor 
without having a "primary" monitor already hooked up to the 9600.


Cheers,
Rick

Re: 1400->9600 set-up

[W. Adrian D'Alessio ( FluxStringer )]

Greetings Mac folks,

I want to setup a PB1400 as the monitor and keyboard for a PM9600/G4.  
It's been too long since I've worked with pre-OSX machines.  Help with 
what I need and how to do it would be appreciated.  I likely have what 
I need in a closet, but will need to know what I'm looking for.

Both machines are running OS9.1 and both function perfectly well.  My 
goal (actually this is for my wife) is to have the 1400 sitting on the 
desk, with the 9600/G4 under it providing the "engine" for internet 
surfing/research while at home, and still able to carry the 1400 to the 
university to write, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Rick

Re: 1400 W/ FLASH DRIVE!

[Chris Pagan]

I've got my pb maxed out at 64mb. it's snappy. i just
wanted to see if there was a way to have the virtual

Re: 1400 W/ FLASH DRIVE!

[Noah Wood]

Compact Flash would be great for another "Hard Drive" but at this
point a waste of money if you ask me.  If you use the Memory stick as
a RAM Disk and get them system to at least 32MB of "Real RAM" It would
be fast enough.  CF is a little faster, but much more expensive.

Re: 1400 PCMCIA Issue

[Lisa & Tom P]

Long story short:
I just upgraded a somewhat beat 1400 with a G3 processor, more RAM and a
bigger hard drive. Pretty basic stuff. It turns out this unit's pcmcia slot
does not seem to recognize the wireless card. It appears to be defective in
that when I push the little button to eject the card - it doesn't eject by
itself at all. I have to actually pull the card out. The 1400 I had to
retire, at least, ejected the card and was usable for internet access.

My question is, anybody ever replace the pcmcia "guts" on a 1400 before? Is
it doable or did I just replace mine with a unit I can no longer use for
internet access.

Tim


The cage can be swapped out and is pretty easy to do once you have 
the unit torn down.

Re: 1400 question

[Noah Wood]

I get thia too on OS 8.6, the screen stayes grey with the pointer
there and the HD is spinning however I do not know what this means,
your best bet is to make sure not to have any programs running (except
the Finder and some programs that take up little memory) becasue to
wake up from sleep mode it takes a lot of memory.

Re: 1400 joys

[Fluxstringer]

I am trying to boot up my old 1400, in order to sell it, but am 
having difficulty.
First of all is the power supply- it seems to be very finicky these 
days, and if I move it, the computer loses power (batteries are 
discharged since I haven't used them in quite some time).  This 
normal?



No,  something inside is loose or there is a bad wire.

Second, and most important, the fact that the last few times I've 
booted up everything seems to work fine, until the desktop is nearly 
fully loaded, then the monitor shuts off.  The rest of the computer 
keeps running, and I can hear an error message pop up, though I have 
no idea what it says.  I noticed that the clock was off when I 
loaded the 1400 earlier, could the PRAM be dead, and that's what's 
causing this?  It doesn't just blink off, it's more like the 
computer is consciously shutting it down
Assuming I can get it running right again, I need to access the 
laptop, is there anyway to do this from an OS X computer?


When the screen goes black adjust hhe brightness buttons on the side. 
Someone said this indicates a bad PRAM battery.

I think the general consensus is that the 1400 keyboard is one of the
best ever made by Apple.

If you look around, you will have a hard time finding a 2400 and will
pay probably twice as much for a 2400 as a 1400. The 1400's are
plentiful and inexpensive.

Re: 1400 vs 2400 vs 3400 keyboards

I agree, the 3400c's keyboard is horrible. Compared to that, the 
keyboard on the 2400c is an absolute delight (unless you want your keys 
big!). Sorry, no experience with the 1400c.

1400 is the best. Ever.
It has a nice thick aluminum plate below the keys, so you don't get  
the flex that happens in the 500/5300/3400 series. Good action on the  
keys, too.

Re: 1400 vs 2400 vs 3400 keyboards

[Rick McCutcheon]

Dan,

I write a lot of text as part of my work.  The keyboard on the 1400 is 
fabulous, perhaps the best keyboard of any powerbook, ever, far better 
than the spongy one on this TiBook I'm using to write this message... I 
tried a 3400 and didn't like it.  Don't know the 2400 from experience.

If you are considering a Power Book for keyboard I would go with the
1400, however the 2400 is smaller but with a lack of internal drives. 
It is up to you.

Re: 1400 'upgrade' tips wanted - from a new user

[Grant Baxter]

I don't want to sound like an advertisment, but I cover all of these 
points, except not really any focus on Ram Doubler other than to 
mention it exists, in my PowerBook 1400 FAQ. The FAQ is free to read 
online, and can be found here:

http://www.freshfiltered.com/MacFAQ/PB1400FAQ.html
In short,
-using Compact flash cards
Very good idea. I do this - runs completely silently and doesn't seem 
any slower than hard disk.

-using a ram disk
Not worth the effort. Instead, get a fast compact flash card and boot 
off that

-using OS 8.6, 9 (.1 and 2.2) and OS X (maybe somebody got this far...)
8.6 is great. I use 9.1. 9.2.2 is the same as 9.1, but with some extra 
code to allow more recent machines to run it. OS X - currently 
impossible

-Linux based OS'
Not a good idea due to the Nubus architecture. Nothing really works, at 
least nothing other than ancient mklinux.

-External batteries
Best bet is to recondition an existing battery, and then run off a CF 
card as you will use a lot less power. I get 1.5-2 hours doing this.

-Ram Doubler
Good if you can get it, but really, the built in virtual memory is fine.
-any other extremely cool things one can do, without knowing it. 
(besides
Wifiying, please)
You can add a G3 card (I did), empty out an old dead battery and use it 
as a space saving module in the CD drive slot, you can go wifi (which 
you don't want to) and broadband, get Mozilla (WaMCom), and so on.

With the OS 9.2.x hack installers, you can get 9.2.x installed on a 1400,
but for 9.x of any sort, a G3 is recommended.

OS X won't presently work on *any* NuBus machine, even one with an
aftermarket G3 (including the 1400).

Strongly disagree. Apple VM before OS X is an absolute dog and dreadfully
inefficient as far as speed and HD utilitization. OTOH, RD uses compression
and reallocation techniques so the hard disk needs to be hit less, and
requires less HD space when it *does* hit the HD, to boot. RD9 was a great
upgrade for my 1400 and is a significant improvement over Apple VM.

Incidentally, my roadwarrior 1400 was a 1400cs/117 which has been turned into
a "c" screen with a G3/333, 60MB RAM, external video option, 3Com 3C589
Ethernet PCMCIA NIC and BestData 56K modem running OS 9.1 with RD9. Wonderful
machine.

Re: 1400 'upgrade' tips wanted - from a new user

Dear powerbook users,
I'd like to ask the people who have 'messed around' with their pb 1400 for
advice concerning how to make battery life last longer. Also I'd like to
have some advice concerning
-using Compact flash cards
-using a ram disk
 

Upper limits of the 1400's memory makes a RAM disk pretty problematical.
-using OS 8.6, 9 (.1 and 2.2) and OS X (maybe somebody got this far...)
 

I run 7.6.1, I think, in mine. I don't use it for much, but basics - I 
don't even surf the web with it. Interestingly, my 1400c running 7.6.1 
crashes less than my 3400c with 8.5. Unless there is something you 
really need, I wouldn't use anything above 8.5. The 1400 won't support 
9.2.2, that I am aware of. Stops at 9.1.

PPC 603e doesn't support OS X. You have to put in a G3 accelerator card.
-Linux based OS'
 

Yellow Dog Linux has a hell of a package. I have no experience with YDL 
on a 1400, but, in theory, it could be a good alternative for this 
machine. Older machines are, typically, less well supported. Eventually, 
I will put YDL on my 3400c.

-External batteries
 

I would be interested to know how these work, now, and other people's 
experiences with them, too.

-Ram Doubler
 

Ram Doubler, the application, is redundant with System 7 virtual memory. 
The more virtual memory you turn on, the more the machine has to hit the 
hard drive for data, the slower the computer will - generally - run.

With virtual memory, it seems other apps step on the system heap and 
crash the computer more often. My policy has always been, "Buy as much 
hard RAM as possible." OS X handles virtual memory swap files better 
than any consumer OS I have experienced. Compared to OS X, the way all 
preceding versions of the system handle  memory and swap files  pales in 
comparison. Gotta love protected memory and pre-emptive multitasking.

-any other extremely cool things one can do, without knowing it. (besides
Wifiying, please)
Keep it simple. Don't use apps that are memory hogs. Get a copy of Word 
5.1. Enjoy it. It's a nice computer for what it is.

Re: 1400 'upgrade' tips wanted - from a new user

[Brian]

Dear powerbook users,
I'd like to ask the people who have 'messed around' with their pb 1400 for
advice concerning how to make battery life last longer. Also I'd like to
have some advice concerning
-using Compact flash cards
works great.  With a little fiddling you can even boot from one.

-using a ram disk

I don't bother, not enough RAM on these things.

-using OS 8.6, 9 (.1 and 2.2) and OS X (maybe somebody got this far...)
9.1 works great for me (1400 with a G3).  9.2 might work, OS X- never IMO.
-Linux based OS'
Exist but last I looked was missing support for major things- floppy 
for sure,  maybe sound? and stuff like that as well.  Not very well 
supported unless something new has come out.

-External batteries
Would be fun,  24V DC needed though, plus a connector from a dead 1400 P/S.

-Ram Doubler
I used a little with 8.6 but I think 9.1 has issues, does just as 
well with disk-based virtual memory, or both.

-any other extremely cool things one can do, without knowing it. (besides
Wifiying, please)
3com 589 series ethernet PC Card can be found for $10 and works well, 
with a patch of the free Farallon drivers (same chipset on both 
cards, but the Farallon is still kinda expensive for what it is).

Wifi is still real cool, guess you know about that :)
The G3 accel.  is a life saver.
20gig or bigger laptop IDE drives are cheap and work really well, 
providing a speedup just in the faster HD times than in the stock 
model.

My main powerbook is still my 1400/G3/60 RAM/20gig drive.  I'm 
starting to thing about getting an older TiBook though due to poor 
browser support for the 1400/9.1, and some web sites are starting to 
have problems.  Ebay for one, some people have problems with paypal, 
and my bank just updated their pages and I can't do that from my 
powerbook anymore, last I checked.

I'd do the HD for sure, if you want to make a big commitment, RAM and 
G3 are about equally important upgrades.  Without a G3, I'd think 
about staying with 8.6 myelf, depends on your patience.

HTH.

Actually, it has 8 MB soldered onto the logic board, and either 4 MB (early
117 MHz models) or 8 MB (all others) in the "factory slot".

There is room for two piggy-backed modules in the user expansion slot.
Getting two modules to actually work requires a bit of voodoo, though.

Re: 1400: THanx all -Flunked

[Dale Hill]

Thanks all for the help. I will digest it all, and it will take a while. My 
insurance company forced me to file for SSI and I had my 
hearing today.  I think I flunked the hearing and will probably qualify for 
SSI. Can you believe that? All because I am using old 
computer equipment, and I can no longer sit in a computer chair, ... or for 
that matter, any other chair in this house. 8-) Anybody 
ever have to go to an SSI hearing, keep my email address, 'cause I can give you 
some good advice. I had the "judge," if that is 
what she was called, mad at me, and even made my attorney mad at me.  But 
neither she nor I were prepared for the questions 
that I was slammed with. Do I sound depressed to you? What a laugh. I was 
forced to admit that I was. No biggee though.

I didn't quite pick up on the hardware in the beginning of the thread, but
if you don't have the full 64 MB real RAM in the 1400, it's going to be a
real pig. Even then, it's pretty slow; I run it on a 6500, which also has a

Actually, not quite true.  Web sites now have so much crud in them
that the rendering time to parse all the stuff and make the

that is cost-effective at this time.
With laptop prices as low as they are though I'd look at one of the
Wallstreets, perhaps, I can't price things on ebay for you at the
moment since I'm on my 9.1 1400 and I still haven't a browser that
will let ebay work (not MOzilla 1.2.1, not Wacom mozilla, not IE5.1
anyway) (which is yet ANOTHER reason to get a newer laptop,
something that can run XP or OS X) but I'd guess the Wallstreet II's
would be a good deal and a very capable laptop, with SCSI etc. if
you have old peripherals.
Without going to X though for new browsers and other software I
think we are going to be left behind pretty quickly.  Office98 is
still working fine for my needs, but I'm finding the browser issues

Even with a G3/333 and maxxed RAM, WaMCoM Moz on my 1400 is a real dog. It
takes a long time to start and chugs on rendering. However, for certain

Re: 1400:

[Grant Baxter]

Dale,
I sincerely doubt that Mozilla will even launch on your PB1400 due to 
lack of RAM. It may, but it will be very slow and will cause a lot of 
paging. It is free, though, so it is definitely worth a try. The best 
build is probably WamCom (Web And Mail Communicator), which was a 
special build of a later release of Mozilla designed to work on older 
Macs. Please note that Mozilla is a little slow on older hardware as it 
is quite a complex application.

Other browsers are iCab - fast, small amount of RAM required, but 
pretty ugly at rendering pages. I also think you should investigate the 
text only web browsing option. Most web images are not really necessary 
when browsing news sites, etc. WannaBe (text browser) is here: 
http://mindstory.com/wb2/download.html

Also, do you know if your PowerBook has any extra RAM in it, or have 
you never upgraded it from the default amount? I would recommend 
perhaps adding some additional RAM. On eBay you can get an extra 8MB 
chip for $8.99 shipped. The same seller has multiple for sale with an 
extra one only adding $4.99 to the cost. An extra 16MB of RAM would 
probably really open up your machine a little, giving it some room to 
breathe. You could then comfortably set virtual memory to 64MB. The 
PB1400 supports up to 64 MB of RAM (you can add two 24MB cards one atop 
the other, but they cost a fair bit), but any extra over the current 
amount you have would be a good idea.

I hope this helps. You can check out my PowerBook 1400 FAQ at: 
http://www.freshfiltered.com/MacFAQ/PB1400FAQ.html

Kind Regards,
Grant Baxter

Re: 1400:

[Winston Smith]

You might try this.  You need 8.6 though.  I think the 8.6 update is a 
free download if you have 8.5.

Re: 1400:

I don't know where you go exactly on the mozilla site but I believe it 
is something in older versions. I got one recently for my iMac which 
runs 8.6. I believe it was version 1.x??

Re: 1400:

[David Sims]

Hello,
I  recommend Icab. It works fairly well, although it does not every 
page properly. It is relatively quick, requires very little RAM, and I 
use it successfully on a 1400, and a 3500. You may want to also take a 
look at wannabe (sp?), a text only browser. It certainly has 
limitations, but it is an option when resources are limited.

I doubt it. The 1400 uses an older IR protocol. Haven't heard
of any work around to enable a connection.

Re: 1400 Spotted

[Fluxstringer]

Hey, I saw that program, I don't remember if it was on National
Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel or The History Channel.
A very informative program, with great computer graphics.
However, I don't remember seeing a PB 1400. And I have owned about
20 1400s. (I fix them, use them and then sell them.)
By the way, I live in Mexico.

Hey, I saw that program, I don't remember if it was on National 
Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel or The History Channel.
A very informative program, with great computer graphics.
However, I don't remember seeing a PB 1400. And I have owned about 20 
1400s. (I fix them, use them and then sell them.)
By the way, I live in Mexico.

Re: 1400 Spotted

[Fluxstringer]

Sorry folks. Didn't mean to step on toes. It was all meant in fun 
now. I was not aware of a major train wreck etc.  What struck me as 
funny was the assumption we could all see it. As I still think most 
listers are on this side of the pond.

Also  although I have a 1400 right here I  don't think I would 
recognize one in a movie.

And as for Germany, I love the beer and the writings of Goethe.

Sounds like National Geographic to me. There is a whole channel devoted to
NG, maybe just available on satellite.
Actually, I know three guys around me who have dishes which pick up a German
satellite network/station. The dish is pointed at the horizon and looks like
it won't pick up anything but they seem to get it just fine. I'm in Toronto,
btw.

My 1400 has been very happy for years also with G3/333, 60MB, 9.1. Recently
I acquired a 540c which is also a delightful unit.

In fact, I'll probably spring for the G3/466. It won't yield a night and
day speed increase, but it will help some, and it will also allow me to have
a G3 processor card on reserve since I think I'll be using my 1400 for a long
time to come.

I use my 1400 unaccelerated (133 mHz and 32 MB RAM) with a wireless
card. It's painfully slow, even with a tmobile hotspot or other fast
connection, but it functions for surfing. I'm running OS 8.6 as I
could not figure how to do wireless with 7.5.5, which runs much faster

A 1400 can't do OSX because it doesn't have a PCI bus, and a PCI bus is
crucial to getting OSX to install and run. This is why the "unsupported"
2400, 3400 and Kanga can be made to run X, but the 1400 and 5300 can't.
They're built on the same NuBus architecture as the x100 Power Macs.

iTunes 1 and 2 can be installed on a 1400, but they're so demanding on CPU
and RAM that it's unrealistic to use it on an unaccelerated 1400. You might
have some success with a 1400/166 with 64 megs of RAM.

The 9.1 iTunes is on my 1400/G3 and working fine for playing internet radio.

I can see the unaccellereated 1400 now, sitting on my stereo cabinet, streaming radio 
to my stereo (I don't have the digital radio channel thing thru the cable company) so 
this would help out radio options a lot.

I'll post once I try it.

So, I take it no one with an un-accellerated 1400 has tried playing
mp3's or wireless?
My stock 1400c plays mp3's just fine. Haven't tried wireless, but I 
believe others have.

or combined the two with iTunes?
Dunno about that either, but not even an upgraded 1400 can use OSX, 
just too much memory requirement. So you'd be limited to a older OS9 
version of iTunes, at best.

My experience is that it will play MP3's and some MPEG movies, but not 
DVD;s, it will play most music and video which QT 4 will handle, but it 
will not load and use modern Adobe PDF and Java stuff. It will _never_ 
be able to use any USB nor Firewire products (it uses the old nuBus 
hardware architecture, which itself is not upgradable to cardbus 
architecture).

I tend to look at a 1400 and older PB's in terms of a few dedicated 
programs which it can do well. I like using mine with HyperCard stack 
projects I create, and others as well. With the right software it will 
work with network printers, and it's really quite a good email machine. 
Things like that.

HTH,
Ken N.
