Corrupted Downloads?

Hi! I'm using my recently bought PB 190cs, with OS 8.1 and 40Mb RAM, no Virtual Memory. But found that Eudora 3 is a bit outdated. I need something that reads e-mail formatted with HTML. I d/l'ed v4.2.1 (68K ) from Eudora, but during expansion, StuffIt warned about some damage. Tried to use the in

Re: How to mirror a drive

My limited understanding of ATA drives is that the computer looks on the 'master ATA' drive first, then the secondary. You would probably have to set your powerbook HD to slave mode (using jumpers on the disk itself). Otherwise, like you say, the computer may start-up off the powerbook drive, or si

Re: PB1400 prob

I didn't think the PRAM Battery caused anything this serious, just loss of time etc in the finder when you wake/start up. Surely once the main battery or AC power is applied the PRAM battery would be irrelevant?? But like I said, I just don't know. I assume you've tried it already, but you can za

Re: PB1400 prob

this is one bad pickle I didn't say before but I got to the extension manager using the space bar, then turned off the Time sync extension and continued booting only to get a different extension error (HP Background...) rebooted again back to the ext mgr, turned off that one, and got a differen

Don't know about the PC card slot, but I've heard of IDE to SCSI adapters, assuming you can find a way to power the drive, I guess that could work, but I have a feeling their price is more designed for permanent use... -- john On 17/2/03 10:59 AM, "Ken Norris (dialup)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Re: PB1400 prob

Well, this IS a dilly of a pickle... The internal CD drive should be able to start-up of a disk. If not, there is something wrong with the disk or the drive. Your external drive: is it apple-branded? Older non-apple Cd-drives were more difficult to get working (from memory) because apple didn't su

I've tried these four (command-option-shift-delete) and other combos with no luck. Turning off extensions with the shift or space bar(extensions mgr) returns the error: "To turn off extensions, hold the shift key while starting up" ? Dan On Thursday, February 13, 2003, at 05:28 PM, Da

How to mirror a drive

What I want to do: Mirror my drive on to a new drive. Is there a connector to hookup an _internal_ drive to a PB 1400 through the card slot? Ken N. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A | -- Canon

I've had great success with Global Village units. I especially like the GV Ethernet/56 k modem card. Allows use of the easy to use GV software. I can either connect via ethernet to my network (standard cat5 RJ45 cable) or phone lines for modem use. (standard phone cable) It costs a bit more than an
