V-memory question

I have a Powerbook 3400c (200mhz, 64mb ram, 3gig HDD) I recently installed a piece of software that requires me to turn of virtual memory when it's in use. (Reason 2.0, if you're wondering.) Reason works ok with 64, but I'm wondering if it's worth my time and effort to keep switching back and fo

Some More 5300cs Q's

I recently picked up another 5300cs for parts and need to find out a few things. 1) First off, on my working book, what is the voltage on the p-ram battery supposed to be? I'm wondering if this might have something to do with my book shutting down immediately (1/2 sec) after the main battery g

PRAM battery is DOA/dying. Try leaving the PB plugged into the AC power overnight. IIRC the 1400 has a rechargable PRAM battery. John > -- > > Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 06:20:43 -0400 > Subject: 1400 loses PRAM settings > From: Sean McGroty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Message-

PB 1400 and WaveLAN card

OK, I'm running 8.6 on my G3 upgraded PB 1400. Trying to get a newly acquired (albeit used) WaveLAN card running without success. Orinoco drivers will not install, and their readme file says that there is a known incompatibility w/ the 1400 that they are "working" on. Tried Airport drivers pe

Re: PowerBook 540c SCSI troubles

Both sides of the SCSI chain need to be terminated... 500 series PBs don't provide termination power, so you'll need terminators (or termination power switched on at each peripheral if they have it, ZIP drives usually do) at the end of the chain and between the first drive and the 540. Naturally

My 1400 has a strange problem. When I unplug it, it has a tendency to lose the PRAM settings, causing the system to not boot from the battery. If I plug the power adapter in again, the system boots up without pressing the power button. I must then use TechTool to reset the PRAM, or I will not
