ATA Hard Drives/PCMCIA slot

Fellow PB'ers: Where can I find resources for external ATA Hard Drives that will plug into the PCMCIA card port on a PB 1400c? I haven't seen any at lowendmac.com or anywhere else, yet I've been told they exist. Is it just a matter of adapters and power supplies? TIA, Ken N. * OT: BTW, here's a

Re: Powerbook 190?

Well, I would definately check those specs! 40 meg HD? That is extremely small, and could barely hold 7.5.5! Actually, I don't even think it could. My guess is it has 40megs free on the HD. Like John said run Apple System Profiler on it. I am positive it was installed with 7.5.5, but just incase...

Re: Powerbook 190?

I don't know if it was included with OS 7.5.5, but it may be worth starting up Apple System Profiler on it... If it wasn't installed in 7.5.5, chuck it on a floppy and bring it with you. In the 'System Profile' tab, under 'Hardware Overview' it'll tell you the processor type, and the Motherboard Mo

Well, it could have been upgraded to a 5300 logicboard. Or, someone could have replaced the screen bezel with one from a 5300.Or, it could just be a 5300 with a 190 sticker. But yes, it is very possible that someone put a 5300 Mobo in that 190. Out of curiosity, how much is the shop asking? Hope T

Powerbook 190?

Hi, I have seen a powerbook 190 in a secondhand store but I have one question. On the top of the LCD screen there is a powerpc stamp. But as far as I can tell the powerbook 190 has a 68040 cpu. Could this have had its screen replaced or is something else up with it? Its running OS 7.5.5 and has 8

Asimov also didn't live in Brooklyn. At least, not entirely. He lived in Cobleskill, NY - where I used to go to college. It's about the one thing the town's got going for it. :) (For the curious, Cobleskill's about an hour west of Albany.)
