Trouble with password-protected 5540c HD

Hi there, I've just purchased a 540c, and while it came fully-loaded with all the gagdets it's also come with a password-locked hard drive. No problem, says the seller, just reformat and you'll be away. Made sense, but in practice it's causing me hell. Trouble is I can't find a boot disk image on

Re: Powerbook 3400 100BaseT Ethernet

Your doing fast then I am the moment my card is out to lunch looks like I have to send it back to intel,,aarrgg, for the lifetime repair. Hmmm shipping is cheaper then a new one for sure. But I am not yet even close to running my old 5300cs that well. Good luck. > I'm getting around "5.0K/s"

Interesting Duo noise

My Duo 230 has come up with a new trick. It makes this noise, kind of a cross between a beep & a blat, seven times in a row. Then the disk spins like it's booting up. It does this most of the time it's awake. Click on a folder, you get the noise. Boot up, same thing. It didn't do this when I

Will a duo work with a bad battery?

I have a duo 280C that if I put a good battery in, it works fine, but if I put a dead battery in, the duo won't even start, even when the adaptor is also plugged in. Is that normal? Thanks for any info. Tom -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronics

How much RAM can I install in a Wallstreet?

Re: Powerbook 3400 100BaseT Ethernet

Bruce, I'm getting around "5.0K/s" speeds. I use a router and a desktop PC. It gets a faster signal and the "100" light on my router lights up when I use the desktop. This 3400 much faster than I was getting with my 5300. Can I get faster though? It right now is fast enough that I do not us

Hi, I have a 3400 also, and the built-in 10baseT works fine, but 100 baseT - this is not a G3, folks, and the internal bus is (?) 40 MHz, but I do have 80 MB Ram, if that helps. George --- Remy Davison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >I have tried with a D-Link DFE-650TX card to get > higher speed

Re: Powerbook 3400 100BaseT Ethernet

I'm just wondering how much of a difference a 100BaseT card would make. I would think that the 1.5 mb/sec speed of your cable connection would be well within the capabilities of your 10BaseT card. Daniel Sirks wrote: > I have tried with a D-Link DFE-650TX card to get higher speed transfers > fr

Re: EIDE in PB 5300cs?

Just put the drive into a system, like a Wallstreet, that will allow you to partition it using Drive Setup. So a 10G drive could become 2-5G drives, or perhaps stay under the 4G limit on SCSI docking. So a 20G drive could become 5 - 4G drives and you would be able to SCSI dock all parts of the d
