Lombard okay to use expansion HD only without ide HD?

I have a laptop hard drive that needs to be returned. Will probably take a week or so. I don't have an extra hard drive, but I do have an expansion bay hard drive. Would it be okay to operate the laptop without an internal ata hard drive? Thanks for any information. Mike

Good thing you didn't install that 500mHz Sonnet card, huh? New information: Upon looking a bit closer at the System Profile, I just noticed that my new/used PowerBook G3-300 runs at 450. Apparently there is some sort of upgrade card inside. Funny that the eBay seller didn't mention that

Nokia 6360 & IrDa

Has anyone has success using a Nokia 6360 in infrared mode with a TiBook? Or is there a FAQ that would answer my question as to why it does not work. My phone does not make a modem connection to my local ISP as it should. As usual, probably something minor I am overlooking. -- G-Books is sponso

Apple Sys. Profiler can't find serial number on worn PowerBook...

When I run Apple System Profiler under OS 9.2, I get only "Not Applicable" for the serial number. Is there another way to check? Someone mentioned that there may be a serial number inside the case. Before I rip the guts out, where should I be looking? Matthew D. O'Conner, Attorney at Law Seat

iBot and Pismo

A follow-up on my iBot problem in case anyone is interested. OrangeMicro says Pismos made before July 2000 are incompatible with their iBot firewire web cam. I knew my Pismo was made around this time but didn't know how to verify the manufacture date. Someone on this list suggested looking on

That is very strange, as my System Profiler still has my serial number showing under Production Information and I have a 30 Gig HD in my Pismo which obviously didn't come with the PowerBook. Tom on 6/3/02 4:17 AM, Jeff Lentz at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > As some have suggested, System Profiler

This still sounds exactly like the grounding braid problem. Get a flashlight and look through the adapter jack in the back of your WS 300. If you can see the copper braid, then you might try putting a piece of electrical tape on just the one side of the adapter plug where you see the braid, maki

Re: how to find serial number on worn PowerBook?

As some have suggested, System Profiler may help, but not if you've changed out your hard drive (as I have). I believe there is a serial number inside the case, but I couldn't say where. Mine disappeared within about 6 months of purchase, so I've kept paper notes with the serial information on i
