PB 1400 to control a radio receiver?

2003-09-07 Thread Spencer Carter
I'd like to use my PB 1400 to control a shortwave radio receiver--namely a JRC NRD-525. The radio connects to a PC with an RS-232c connector. I have tried using my SCSI/Dock adapter with the RS-232c, but the receiver doesn't show up as a SCSI device in the Apple System Profiler. Also, when

Hmm.. I did buy a newer faster 6.4gb drive a while back. And you're quite possibly right about the fragmentation. I'll give it a try again today and see if I have any better results. I'm quite interested in running the machine on just CF since with the hdd spun down the battery lasts s much
