Playing sound files on Pb190

Hello all! I have 2 questions. 1. Can I play mp3 (or wave, or...) sound files on my Pb190? (Mac OS 7.5.3) 2. If yes, then: where can I find such a software for download. I tried to find somewhat on the net, but all I have found, they're work only on PPC machines. Thanks for any

1. Can I play mp3 (or wave, or...) sound files on my Pb190? (Mac OS 7.5.3) No. Not on any 68K Mac. But you can decode MP3 (slowly) to AIFF (lots of disk space) using SoundApp 68K. 2. If yes, then: where can I find such a software for download. I tried to find somewhat on the net, but all I

Re: Playing sound files on Pb190

I have had the same issue with my PB540c - I think that neither has enough CPU speed/power to do it. Maybe under another OS at 8-bit mono 8khz but what fun would that be. ;-) The 500 does have 16-bit/44KHz, Mike - but I'm sure you already know that :-) Cheers, RD Remy Davison Contributing

Clock in PB 180 stopped

The clock on my trusty old PB180 has stopped , the seconds in date and time doesn't change :-( The clock in the date time control panel doesn't show the correct date and time. It is impossible to set the date and time: when the time has been set it just picks a random date time. I've tried

Re: Speaking of PCMCIA..

Please elaborate on the ultra wide scsi. What kind of a card does this (on a 520) and how much does it cost? How much faster speed does ultra wide give you, or is it a matter of being able to use more current devices? Donna Pointer-- iMac, ergo iAm 1-besides being able to use a faster modem

Re: weird problem with Powerbook 520

I had the same experience (no hard drive spin up, just clicking) when I inadvertently fried my old HD. I knew right away, tho, what the cause of the HD melt-down was--I forgot to install a SCSI terminator. This was easily, albeit a bit expensively, fixed. I would hold off on popping your new HD

No, unfortunately not - the largest RAM card for a 3400 is 128MB. Hmmm...that's too bad. Is there any way to break the 64MB ceiling on my 5300ce? Cheers, Jae Iqaluit-Nunavut -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com |

Speaking of upgrades, isn't it true that you can upgrade a Duo280C to PowerPC? Anybody know what the procedure is, and where to get the upgrade? Also, I assumed from my lack of sound that there's probably a minor hardware problem (I'm betting a simple broken or disconnected wire) in my Duo. I

Do you have PC Exchange turned on in the system? If it is turned on it will recognize that CF card as a PC disk. If not, it will ask you if you want to reformat it, because it cannot recognize it. that's how you can reformat CF Cards. They are PC format as you buy them. It's like putting in an

RA It's handy to know that the same cable goes to the LCD and sound output - RA the display looks fine, so that cable is probably OK. I've only tried to get RA sound through the Control Panel alarms setting and the Jigsaw puzzle (and, RA of course, I don't have a start-up chime). AFAIK, the
