D-Link 810+ with Airport Base Station

I just received a D-Link 810+ ethernet wireless adapter. I want to allow a PowerBook G3 (Lombard) that only has an ethernet connector to connect to my wireless network and surf the web. Unfortunately, the only way this device allows my computer to surf the web is if I turn off Access Control

ship 3400 with battery in?

Hello, I want to ship a powerbook 3400 from Australia to the US. Should I leave the battery inside it to ship, or send it separately? Inside it's heavier and there is a possibility the computer could start up, but shipped separately that right side of the powerbook doesn't have support for the

Re: ship 3400 with battery in?

Stick a piece of insulating plastic tape over the battery contacts being careful not to allow the internal contacts to bend and then replace battery loosely.You may be able to pad the battery poter shell to stop movement too. Alternatively fill cavity with a cut to size styrofoam (expanded

networking a 520

I'm trying to get a 520 to work on a windows environment network to get access to a internet router. The adapter lites up and so does the port on the hub, but I've never worked with a Mac and can't seem to get it to connect to the internet. Any help or URL's that can help would be greatly

Re: 520 accesories

Since the batteries aren't functional and I'm just learning on a Mac, I think I'll keep it local and not portable. Are their any restrictions or recommendations for a local external CDrom for this laptop? - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PowerBooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

RAM Doubler/Tripler(?) question

Hi fellow true-believers, I have RD 8 on my PB 1400/183; it was acting kinda janky, crashing frequently, like every 10 minutes(!) whether left alone or doing simple stuff, like going to the SPECIAL menu... I looked on my RD 8 control panel, and remembered that I had it set to multiply the

Recommendation on adequate Compact Flash card size?

Greetings. Please excuse a PC card newbie his questions! I am looking for recommendations on an adequate size Compact Flash card if I want to run my PowerBook 3400c largely off the card. It seems the sweet spot (for me at least) for CF cards right now is 256MB. For example, macMall has

1400 a Sonnet G3 400Mhz Upgrade

I have had a Powerbook 1400cs with 40MB of RAM since it was new. About 4 years ago I replaced the processor with a Sonnet Crescendo PB 400Mhz G3, and I loved it. I have recently pulled the beast out for play, wiped the HD (which needs to be replaced...still the original 750MB) and did a

Re: 1400 a Sonnet G3 400Mhz Upgrade

Hi, I'm a newbie here, but if I may be so bold as to comment... I just souped up a 1400 with a Sonnet 466mhz G3, 64Mb RAM, and a Fujitsu 20Gb(2Mb buffer) hard drive upgrade. Under 8.6, I had frequent and across-the-board crashes at first. After a clean re-install of 8.6, however, these

Re: 1400 a Sonnet G3 400Mhz Upgrade

It's the ram. Up to 64. I have the 466 and the cache is enabled, and it works fine. I use an IBM 20 gig. I use the last iTunes for 9.1, ie iTunes 1.X. I use a an Orinoco Silver card for wireless networking to the 7 other puters in the house. All is well on 11/23/03 6:52 PM, Jonathan Metts

Re: 520 accesories

You're pretty much going to be limited to a SCSI CD-ROM. I use a PowerUser CD-ROM, which uses a Toshiba mechanism. I think it's a 4x unit tho it may only be a 1x. It works to load in software to my 520c, and I can use it to play music CD's--I did try it for playing a game once, but it and the

Re: 1400 a Sonnet G3 400Mhz Upgrade

Thanks Illovox and David. Looks like I am going to need to hunt down some more RAM. Hopefully this will address the issue quite well I hope. I love the speed boost, and I know that RAM is always the first speed boost I should go for, but at the time I had the chance of someone making the

Re: 1400 a Sonnet G3 400Mhz Upgrade

check the sonnet website. I have 48 megs in mine and it crashed often with the software that came with the card, but there is an update on the website that I downloaded and haven't had issue with it since. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronics
