[Duo2400] Re: 500-600 MHz SPEED UPGRADE for PowerBook 2400-OpenMusings/Part 2

Agree, someone please translate the RAM hack page for the rest of us. But I guess 144MB will be the limit, I didn't find any 256MB EDO SODIMM on the net. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Duo/2400 List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 17, 2002 3:16 PM Subject: [Du

>From my point of view I guess it depends on the OS you run and what work you want to do with your 2400c. 80 MB is fine for most traveling work on 8.6. 80 MB is marginal for 9.1 but usable and 112 MB is fine, again for most traveling work unless, perhaps, one is a video/graphics professional. Web

[Duo2400] Re: Batteries

Batteries are still the achilles heel of the 2400c. Fortunately, I managed to get 3 "new" ones but at great expense, over $600 total. MCE still had new ones last summer for $259. I think that BTI found that most failed 2400c batteries were due to failure of the integrated logic board and not the

It seems to me that the RAM limit (112 Meg) and battery problems (1 1/2 hours each) are enough for me to not want to put that kind of money into a 2400c, when the iceBook comes very close to being a better replacement for what you are trying to do. Referb iBook/500's are gong for not a heck of a l

[Duo2400] 2300c - ATA-4 - os compatability

Dear Readers, Can someone please let me know whether a 2300c will work with a 6gb 9.5 mm thick 2.5" ide drive which has an interface specification stating: Interface ATA-4 Will the combination work with os 8.1? Will the combination work with os 7.6.1? I am considering buying such a drive

[Duo2400] Sound Jam v. iTunes, looking for eBook reader for OS 8.6, 600mhz upgrade for 2400c

Well, After researching the Sound Jam versus iTunes issue, I've decided that iTunes is the better player for my 2400c OS 8.6 180MHZ/80mb/20gb hd. Now Apple formerly does not support iTunes to be used with 8.6. But iTunes 1.1 (or 1.0) can be patched to do so. All of the information you need or wan

I'm new here on this list and a new 2400c owner, but only having my little comet for about a few weeks I love it and I would probably do what I could to keep it in good working order, hopefully for years to come. I would be willing to upgrade if the price was reasonable. Like others here

[Duo2400] Memory Question

Is the Duo 2300c memory compatible with any other Duo ie: 280c, etc.? Or does it take it's own unique kind? Thanks, Mike __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - live college hoops coverage http://sports.yahoo.com/ -- Duo/2400 List, The friendlies

[Duo2400] Re: Memory Question

I'm pretty sure it is. The Duos used FPM or EDO SIMMs (in a proprietary package). The 2300, being NuBus as well, would use the same memory. Although you might want to consider using the faster EDO memory in a 2300, since you have no L2 cache. You can usually tell the difference because EDO is

[Duo2400] Re: Memory Question

It should be. I do know that the RAM in a 280 will work in any of the previous duos. Jon On Sun, 17 Mar 2002, Mike Picone wrote: > Is the Duo 2300c memory compatible with any other Duo > ie: 280c, etc.? Or does it take it's own unique kind? > Thanks, > Mike > > __
