Here's a question... If I upgraded my 5300cs to 1MB of VRAM (instead
of the 512KB), would it give 16-bit color on a cs display? Would the
passive display work in that many colors?
Do the 1400cs displays work in thousands of colors or are they 8bit
(256 colors) only?
Peace,

Yeah. I pulled out the calculator and looked too. Looks right. But
damn, that would make one hot processor at 43.5MHz bus. They must
have had some sort of heatsink solution too, 'cause I can't imagine
that the 100MHz part could be clocked up an additional ~40% without
overheating.

You won't get OSX on a 1400 no matter what you try. X requires a PCI bus
architecture, and the 1400 is NuBus-based.
But there are any number of Linux distros that will work. Just about any PPC
Linux should run on it.

That IS a great price.
Does anyone know if Jaguar eliminates the Sleep of Death phenom for the
Lombard et al. Might make it worthwhile to upgrade just for that!

I thought the Sleep of Death was associated with certain IDE drives and
not the OS.

Yep, that's what I paid ($3) for (2) of mine. I still have one.

Any ideas?

Good morning 'bookers,
The recent discussion about active-matrix b/w screen from PB 1xx, 2xx and
5xx's got me to thinking of kinda a broad question: excluding the PB 100, on
the 1xx series (140,145,145b,150,160,165,165c,170,180,180c), which screen are
interchangeable with each other?

That's not _entirely_ accurate. There is NO _monolithic_ Linux distro
that is NuBus enabled out-of-box. MkLinux, OTOH, is so-called

Yeah, I've got a CE. Bought it for the so-called $99 bargain. I've

I'm using a pc card on my Lombard from http://www.Macwireless.com
Made for the Mac, easy install, no problems since.
They also have one to use from a USB slot and a PCI version.
We should support companies that support Macs.
Price for the card, just under $100.

You also might try just turning appletalk off, or even disabling the
extensions. I have an icon in my control strip to enable/disable
appletalk, but there's also a switch in the chooser.
Indeed, good advice. Just turn

The diff is they use only

Several things may fix it. Sometimes all it takes is a restart, but at the
very least I'd turn off AppleTalk since the StyleWriters can't use it.
AppleTalk is currently the application hijacking your printer port
You are 'Da Man'!
Thanks. I had appletalk turned off, but trashing the preferences did the
trick.

i think that this problem is caused by the way the
passive display works. i remember on my pb100 that if
you set the portable control panel to never sleep, it
will warn you that the longer you leave it on, the
worse your screen will get, and you will have to leave
it in sleep for a LONG time

Won't shut down, meaning stays powered up and does nothing, or stays powered
up and functional (just ignoring the option), or powers down and then
immediately restarts?
Have you tried resetting the Power Manager?
