[Duo2400] WiFi Options with 2400?

2004-09-06 Thread Matthew McVay
Duolisters, I'm finally doing a little WiFi networking with my 2400 and have a few questions. At present, my 2400 is running Airport v2.04 software and the Orinoco Gold 802.11b card. The base station is an older Airport 802.11b connected to a Motorola SB5100 cable modem with Comcast residential se

[Duo2400] Yu-Plan Keyboards

2004-01-05 Thread Matthew McVay
I have a nifty Yu-Plan 2400 translucent blue keyboard that I would like to trade for a Yu-Plan 2400 translucent clear or Yu-Plan 2400 dark grey keyboard. I'd also be willing to sell this keyboard outright to a fellow DuoLister. It's a great keyboard but I'm personally weary of the "blue" era in

[Duo2400] How can I install OS v9.2.2 on my 2400?

2003-06-15 Thread Matthew McVay
Since the list is a bit slow... What is the *safest* method of installing OS v9.2.2 on my 2400? I vaguely recall this being discussed a while back and that one could use a utility to temporarily tweak the 2400 "ID" so that it fools the system installer into thinking my 2400 is a 3400. I also reca

[Duo2400] Anryone running Quicken Deluxe 2003 on a 2400 withOS 9.1?

2002-08-29 Thread Matthew McVay
I just received the annual upgrade propaganda for Quicken Deluxe 2003. It lists 128mb RAM and OS 9.2.2 as the minimum system requirements. Will it even *install* on a 2400 with 80mb RAM and OS 9.1? I'd been meaning to upgrade from Quicken 2001 but had ignored the annual upgrade propaganda for Qui

[Duo2400] IBM 30 gb HD for PB 2400

2000-09-20 Thread Matthew McVay
I just received my trusty 2400 back from MCE this afternoon. Their ever helpful Kevin Yuhas arranged for a sameday installation of the IBM 30 gb HD to replace my anemic 1.3 gb HD. The IBM 30 gb is noticeably quieter and faster. It formats out at 27.9 gb which will take me *quite* a while to feel
