Re: networked Epson printer

> 8. networked Epson printer I am sorry to hear that neither Epson share NOR anything else will really help me with networking my Epson printer with powerbook 1400's. I am really hesitant to upgrade them to OS 9. I guess I need to take a trip to "Goodwill" for the printer of the day special.

VPC 2.1 experiences

I've used VPC 2.1 on a G3/300 DT. Not a PB, but that should be irrelevant to VPC. Subjectively, I felt that Win95 felt like it was running on a PC of maybe 40-50% the clock speed of the G3. (I wish I had some hard numbers to back up this guesstimate.) Running even Win95 on a 486 is painful a

DIN Modem to RJ Adapters?

Hi! I recently obtained some PB Duos to give as gifts. They all have 16 Mbs of RAM and an internal modem. However, the modems do not have the familiar RJ, american kind of socket, but a regular 8-pin serial DIN socket. Just like the printer/modem port. TattleTech reports a printer/modem port and

Re: DIN Modem to RJ Adapters?

The 8 pin port is not a modem on the Duo. If your Duo has an internal modem (most of them have the 14.4 PowerBook Express modem), you will find it by folding down the right leg on the back of the Duo. When you fold the legs down, the left one reveals the AC Adapter port, while the right reveals
