Re: Wireless 190 / 5300

Hi all. I was just thinking. If a powerbook 5300 can support wi-fi, why can't they make a usb card that will fit in the modem card slot. If it will take high speed internet, why can't it take usb through this port? TIA God Bless! Junior [EMAIL PROTECTED] John 3:16.  For God so loved the world, tha

Re: IDE to SCSI HD Adapters

I sort of recall some previous postings on this topic but cannot find the reference. We have been trying to upgrade several powerbooks recently and were lucky enough to acquire an original Apple IDE - SCSI adapter as supplied with their old 1GB SCSI drives. (We bought a IGB SCSI drive and the adap

PB 160

Dear Bill & others-- Today the power cord arrived for the 160. But now I'm not sure if I'm a moron or what (and the guy I got it from is no help--he only answers half of any email I send and apparently the computer is from is brother-in-law)...? I plug it in and I can hear stuff going on when I

Slow tracking ABD mouse on PB3400

Greetings. The trackball thread reminded me to ask a question. I recently purchased a used Apple ABD mouse to use with my PB3400. The trackpad is fine, but sometimes using a mouse is better for some of my work habits. Surely I'm not forgetting how slow an ADB mouse tracks?! I've adjusted setti

PCMCIA Ethernet Card

Anyone know of any brands / models of PCMCIA Ethernet 10/100 cards that actually *work* with OS X? I've got an old laptop here with a nuked ethernet port that I'd like to get networked again. And no - wireless isn't an option in this case. It needs to be "wired". Cheers, Antony. -- ==

Kanga speakers

Hello, When I turn on my Kanga, the speakers make an unclear start up sound. I had thought this was due to the motherboard, but that has recently been replaced. I have seen a 3400 speaker grill for sale and wonder if that could be the source of my problem. Where are the speakers located? Would

280c keyboard

Is there any way to improve the keyboard on a 280c. I took mine out and could see the rubber pads and the button pushing through the metal liner. The liner appeared slightly bent. Many of the keys aren't registering when pushed. Thanks! -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and.
