powerbook1400 ethernet

Hi, I've been following the threads on powerbook ethernet, hoping to see an answer to my problem. I have obtained a 3com megahertz lan 10/100 pc card model 3ccfe574bt. I've seen lots of references here to 3com 589s but not my card. When I put it in my powerbook it says "the software for the card i

[snip /Serial port stuff] I see. So the serial ASIC really is more like ethernet than a dumb I/O controller. That makes a lot of sense, and it also helps explain why Apple never wrote a USB extension to AppleTalk. But really all that the ASIC does by itself is assemble the data given to it by

Oh well then I must have it backwards. I know one of the PowerBook 5300s had passive matrix 640x480 screens, it must be the 5300c. Anyway the question is this: Is the display on the 190cs/5300c better than the one on the PowerBook 520c. Both are passive matrix, but supposedly the 190/5300 di
