As the PowerBook 145 shipped with OS 7.0.1 (and we still don't know which OS the OP's (David's) 145b actually runs, it could be as far up as 7.6.1), this may be somewhat OT, but I remember using the Dayna DOS Mounter CP/CDEV way back then, probably in OS 6, too. It was a utility that originally came with the DaynaFile which was a SCSI-connected external drive for PC disks IIRC, manufactured in various 3.5 and 5.25 and combined configurations allowing the Mac to read DOS disks instead of spitting them out automatically (remember MacPuke?), but could be purchased separately for 89.95 US$. Some basic information can be found at http://users.eastlink.ca/~pspencer/mac/dayna/dayna.html; file exchange between Macs PCs is treated in many places, one I found is http://www.upenn.edu/computing/printout/archive/v08/5/exchange.html. I should be able to dig out my early version of the DOS Mounter if need be, and Dayna Communications have been out of business for more than ten years now AFAIK, so please... Note that there was a better (so they say) software called AccessPC and that DOS Mounter was developed further, so get informed and make your choice: http://www.tidbits.com/tb-issues/TidBITS-059.html and http://www.biotech.ufl.edu/EM/data/zipmac.html.

Make sure PC Exchange is on the mac, under the Apple menu in the Control Panels; then the mac can read ordinary PC formatted floppies. My memories of 7.1 are very hazy, it may have been called that sometime later. Most stuff you've downloaded will have either a .sit extension or .hqx extension. .sit is for Stuffit compressed files, the Mac analogue of Zip file in the PC world. .hqx are BinHex'ed files, not really similar to anything in the PC world, but are binary files converted to plain text streams so they can easily be transmitted via e-mail, ftp or other means. They preserve the Mac file structure while passing through non-mac filesystems. Stuffit Expander is the program that will decode both of those. With luck it's on the Mac now, or you have a real chickenegg problem.

All the machines at present have 56K internal or external modems and we can cable together all except the powerbooks - so a wide choice.We can upgrade the IMac to OSX - no problem here as we now have all the Mac, O,S.s from 7 to X available, (pity we cannot convince the Crescendo Upgraded 7600 its a proper full G3 as we could then put 9.1 onto it as well) and will try to get the Wireless adapter Bruce mentions - hope they ship to the UK! as things like this are gold dust over here, as is the potential Farallon/Proxim PCI adaptor card for the 7600, so if anyone sees one we are in the market - PLEASE . We also have on the side being unused a spare complete Cisco aeronet system (the old 802.11b spec) which was originally going into a couple of PC's until I found out that my computer skills just aint that good Will keep hunting and keep you all posted. If the very worst occurs the market will be full of unwanted gadgets! Gerald Jennings [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Help needed with proposed airport network
This is one way to do it, but prehaps not the correct way. As you want to use the 7600 as you router, you will need a software router (IP Net Router) to make that work. You might have to add another Ethernet card to the 7600 unless you are using a modem to connect to the Internet. A better way to go is with a stand alone hardware router, like the Snow Base Station, or other, which will let you share your internet with both the wireless and wired machines. As the 7600 and iMac are not portable machines, this should not be a problem. This is should work with either dial up or DSL/Cable. The cost of the IP Net Router and a used Snow Base Station is about the same. If it is not practicable to run wires between the 7600/iMac and the Base Station, then a Ethernet wireless adaptor should work. There are some links on my FAQ to a Dlink product that will work under OS 9. You might be able to find one of the PCI adaptor cards for the WaveLan PC Card you already have. If so, this could be used to put the 7600 on wireless. Farallon/Proxim also had a Skyline PCI Card which used the Skyline PC card to put a PCI slot Mac on wireless. If you found a Farallon/Proxim PCI adaptor, then you could use the Skyline PC card you already have, and convert the PB5300c to use one of the extra WaveLan Gold cards. Please let me know what your final solution is.

With the airport you can connect the ethernet port to a small ethernet switch ($10-$50, I found several under $20 via froogle.

If your physical layout works with that, this is the simplest solution: Powerbooks - - - -Airportswitch---7600, iMac. Problems arise if you've got a graphite airport and are connecting it's ethernet to a broadband internet connection.

Re: Help! sluggish 3400c both online and offline
I just acquired a PB 3400c which has 16MB of built-in RAM - totaling 64MB with help of virtual memory coming from my 4.0 GB internal hard drive. should I get more memory and max-out to 144 MB? Or should I download and use more mainstream browsers like Netscape or IE. If so what version should I get? I am running OS 8.6 Definitely get more memory. Running 8.6 on a 3400 on 16 megs of real RAM is a waste, the poor thing must be slower than a 5300. It is eminently capable of surfing the Internet with a full complement of RAM. As for the browser, Cyberdog works, but it's pretty outdated now, and rather slow on top of that. You really want to make your browsing fast, there's only one answer--iCab. It's the only browser I'll use under the classic MacOS. I have Nutscrape on my 3400, but only because I couldn't get a certain plug-in to install without a so-called mainstream browser installed.

I was under the impression that the installer refuses to install if you don't have at least 24MB of physical RAM _AND_ have VM turned on and set to 32MB... In any case, back off of 8.6 with just 16MB of RAM. Go back to 7.6.1 or 8.1. And Cyberdog is hardly the fastest browser out there. If you can live with IE, it's pretty good.

Re: HELP - Lost system folder on pb3400c
At 4:35 AM -0600 3/14/2003, Guy Crook wrote: I have a pb3400c, 240mhz, 80m ram, 6 partitions on a 12g HD with OS9.1. Was running fine until the last time I shut it down, I got a message that my start up disk did not have a system folder and if I continued the shut down I might not be able to restart. I tried to open some appls but they would not open because they couldn't find the extensions and the System folder was not on the disk. I figured the directory got messed up and I would be able to boot from a CD and fix the disk or reload the system. WRONG. Have tried numerous CDs. They load the extensions, get a desktop with only the CD icon in top RH corner, then the system freezes with the pointer changing into a clock. The TechTool 3 Pro loads with the TT icon in top RH corner and the Apple, File, Edit, View, Special, Help across the top. then it freeze like the other CDs. The disks do not show up on the desktop. Tried zapping the P-Ram, loading with extensions off and it made no difference. Anyone have any idea what happened and how to fix it? It sounds like Finder (from the CD) is choking when it tries to mount the harddisk which does indicate a potentially severe problem. Try using DOCS (Delete-Option-Command-Shift) to start up from the CD. This should keep the HD from being mounted. Since you zapped the PRAM it may not work. DOCS avoids mounting and booting the start up disk as specified in PRAM. Since it's been zapped it will depend on what if any default is. Assuming it does work try updating the disk driver on the HD, it's possible this got corrupted. If that doesn't work then try whatever disk tools you have. If DOCS doesn't work it gets more difficult. Normally what I would do is to unplug the power cable from a problematic drive, boot and then power up the drive but that isn't possible with a 2.5 drive, the power and data are on a single cable.You might need to get an adapter that lets you plug the 2.5 drive into cabling for a 3.5 drive which would let you unplug the power cable. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

dream (was: re: help)
LOL ;-P Yes... we all dream... but I know we also still all love our dear little 5300/1400/290/180/170/100 machines... ;-) I admit it, I drag out the 170 every now and again just to say hi and type a little on that keyboard... I saw, while in transit thru the student union a few days ago, this sweet-looking *tiny* little Mac laptop with yes, a backlit keyboard (or glow in the dark or something hip about its vibe) and I asked the young man behind the counter a little about the machine... ...coming away from that short conversation I knew it was just a little G3, maybe it had twice the RAM I do, but big deal... One of our 1400cs machines took a spectacular fall a few weeks ago, a heartwrenching 5 foot curving plummet onto a concrete floor that we only heard, not saw (thank the cats) and -- no damage. None.

Re: Help
You are probably trying to open a UFS(?) disk created in X, and AFAIK there's no way to mount that type of image disk on an older system. Really? That's interesting. I've never had any problem mounting .dmg files on my Macs... Maybe I've just never run across one of these UFS ones. I thought that the significance of .dmg was that it was a more highly compressed disk image instead of a NDIF .img... Yeah, Neener neener neener maybe.

Re: Help
Use doubleclick. The diskimage should mount directly. If this doesnt work - try diskcopy. Dmg is a diskcopy disk image... youll need diskcopy 6.4 or higher for some of them now k Indeed. Previously, DiskCopy 6.4 was only available on the service support website, having never been really released. Last I knew, though, it was pulled even from there. The highest version available to OS 9 users is DiskCopy 6.3.3. .dmg files are really only targeted at OS X users, so you shouldn't be getting one in OS 9 (those should all be .img or .smi) Still, if you need it and can't find it, let me know. I'll stuff a copy of mine and email it to you. 6.4 has some fun features, too. It lets you create CD-master disk images so you can convert your .img to a file that Toast can recognize. Pretty handy!

Re: Help with 5300 upgrade
It starts to boot and then gives the bomb icon and a bus error, and it does it repeatedly Is the CD-ROM terminated? For some reason, 5300's seem to be deep into SCSI voodoo. Mine (2 of them) won't mount the CD (Apple 300 external CD-ROM drive) unless it's terminated, or if there's an external (not even turned on) harddrive (another form of terminator, I guess) in the SCSI chain. With a valid OS on the HD, an unterminated CD-ROM drive will mount, but I get multiple images of the CD. Are you holding down the 'c' key to force it to boot from the CD?

We have to open this one up once in awhile and push down on the ram chip. It looks tight, but it will work itself loose. I hope this helps.

Re: Help, my Powerbook 3400 is Dead!
Well, it does sound like a power board problem, but try this... Remove the bettery and leave it just plugged into AC Power. Press and hold the reset button in for about 1-2minutes. When you let go, it should attempt to start the system. If it doesn't, try to start it with the Start Button. Before it boots up, zap the PRAM about half a dozen times, then let it come up... Once it's up, insert the battery again. Will that do anything at all for you? Cheers, Sionnach __ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

Re: HELP: PB1400 with Viking 56k PC-card modem
Hello Victoria, Thanks for your message! But if the Mac can't even *find* the modem, then Remote Access and TCP/IP haven't had a chance to cause trouble yet. The Modem CP is a likely culprit -- right script missing or not selected, but maybe the card slot is defective. Well, I got the script from the manufacturer's WEB page, so it should be good... although perhaps mine is an older unit. Is there another Viking PC-card user around?. I would like to compare serial/model numbers. snip Jose -- does the card show up on the desktop? Does it show up in Devices and Volumes in the Apple System Profiler? Can you ask the seller if it worked when he/she had this computer? Yes, it shows up on the desktop as soon as I put it in the PC-Card slot (it shows 'V90/K56 Flex'). But in the Profiler it does not show (where should it be?) About asking the seller, well, I got it at a charity auction so there is no way to get that info (I know for sure as seller was unable to get some basic info from the MAC) Another possibility would be to check the card in my Toshiba laptop...

Re: FAO - Jose/Re: HELP: PB1400 with Viking 56k PC-card modem
I had what I think is a similar problem. First the scenario: very long story, but here is the short version. I had two 1400s that wouldn't recognize the presence of the PCMCIA 56 K modem. Swapped a whole bunch of parts to test nada. Got frustrated and bought a third that worked OK. Verified that the three modems I had really did work. Played around with the first two doing something else. Then noticed they now worked recognizing the modem. Big question, what was it that made the modems recognizable?? Only two things that come to mind. The last time I swapped the card cages, maybe I seated them better. Easy to check, just put one finger tip in the card slot and push down. I also reset the PRAM from the keyboard, versus the reset switch on the back. Maybe someone could confirm this works for them. Regards, Phil -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
