After Cmd/start?

Now I did it again, hit Cmd+Start instead of Cmd+Delete and got the command dialogue box. And couldn't remember how to get out. It is Cmd+something and cmd+enter, but what? Now, I shall write it in small on the accu label to have it at hand. Thanks, Christopher Denmark 1400/G3, 190, 190cs, 440

Re: 1400 and USB printer

Well, this may indeed end the life cycle of the 1400 if a user has to pay for an Ethernet-ready printer. Or at least, the 1400 will have to go to a good home that has a network. Tom Jordan > From: John McG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PowerBooks) > Date: Tue, 28 May 2002

Re: Using a CF card to boot a PB 5300cs?

I was able to create a boot disk on a 16mb CF card, though I did "CHEAT". I used the system off of a MacOS 8.1 Disk Tools, which is a great way to create a small and fast starting emergency boot disk. I think I was able to create a bootable CF using a minimal 8.5 install, can't remember for cert

Brian, Thank you for your reply. I'm hoping others reply to this thread, as I know you and I aren't the only ones who have tried this! :-) I've tried multiple boots and restarts. "Bus error" every single time. FWIW, I am using a SanDisk 128 MB CF card and a SanDisk CF-PCMCIA adapter. The s

5300 REA - A No Go

Called Apple this morning re the REA. Rats! Unfortunately, it looks like I'm out of luck on sending the 5300cs in under the program. Apparently this machine had already gone through it for that very problem so they said they won't do it twice. It had two date stamps inside battery too. I'm go

well it is not cheap but you can do it by using one of the airport base stations. They have modems and enet in them. then you hook them up to a hub and away you go. I believe the airport will assign dhcp for you. But costs may be prohibitive as would be in the $300 range unless you can find a
