1400 PCMCIA Virtual Memory expansion?

2002-06-23 Thread KenKligerman
Forgive me if this is a rehash but someone theorized that the 1400's memory could be expanded using a PCMCIA adapter and a CompactFlash or SmartMedia card. I happened upon such a card at Radio Shack for only about $15 then noticed Costco had 128MBs for around $55. Has anybody successfully (or

I won a bid on a supposed 32 MB module for my PB 540c. The seller says he can't test it but will refund the price if it doesn't work. I asked some questions about it and it turns out that he found the thing in an anti-static bag at work. He provided me with the numbers on the chips. KM48C2100ALT

New IDE HD in 5300 A No Show?

I could use a bit of guidance here from some compassionate pb user. I've installed this 4 gb ide drive in place of the 500 mb one. Problem is, I can't get anything to see it. Right now I'm booted off 8.1 on an external scsi cd/rom. Tried 8.5 too with same results. So the 8.5 and 8.1 cd's

Hi David R. Now I could say since it won't show in your machine, you should sell it to me at a reasonable price. But I won't. We had the same problem with the 5300 and an IBM drive. Tried everything we could think of and still no go. We put it in my wife's 2300, set it up, loaded OS8.6, put it in
