540c acting up

Hi, I'm new here and of course I have a problem. : / I just bought a used Powerbook 540c with 20 megs RAM and a 320 meg HD. Running System 7.5 I received the 540c today and it powered up just fine, nice bright screen, lots of cool programs to play with, etc... I played around with it for about 4

PowerBook 1400 <-> 3400 HD switchin' question

Howdee... To put it plain: I want to test out a HD-less 3400c I recently obtained, but all I have is a 2.5" HD already using OS 7.6.1 in a Powerbook 1400cs/183. Is it possible to simply put the 1400's HD in the 3400c, or are there OS issues that won't allow it? ALSO... the 3400c I have is the

Re: To Any Small Dog sales folk: PB 190 SCSI cable

With all due respect, I beg to differ. All the documentation that I have shows that filesharing via AppleTalk and the printer port proceeds at approximately 230K bps, and personal experience bears that out. Bob - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > File sharing

Re: To Any Small Dog sales folk: PB 190 SCSI cable

File sharing via appletalk/serial port runs at a whopping 300baud (that's 0.3kbs), which is why it's virtually impossible to use with any size.. check: www.powerbookguy.com www.wegenermedia.com www.shrevesystems.com THey would probably have them.. I'm guessing it's going to set you back $30-50

Re: Sprint phone hookup to PB1400

Thanks for the suggestions, but I've had no luck so far finding a solution for the new Sanyo, which is an 8100. I've found USB cables, but no serial. So I haven't even pursued workable modem scripts yet. Still looking, though. Please keep your eyes/ears open for a solution if one comes your way

PowerBool Kanga questions

The PB G3 kanga is actually a.. G3, but on the G-Books list is looks really like a vintage thing so I would like to try with this list. The kanga shares with the PB 3400 the same design, it only has a G3 soldered instead of a 603. Please let me know if Kanga-related questions are welcome on thi

SCSI CD-Rom on a 5300

I always had good luck using two SCSI terminators to get a SCSI drive to work on a PB5300. One was a pass-through that you would connect the SCSI cable to, and then connect to the external drive (CD, HD, whatever). The second was a terminator plugged into the empty Centronix port on the external SC
