Re: 3400c Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws

I have a 5300c, and have run 7.6.1, 8.1, and 8.6 on it. 7.6.1 can feel quite slow, and I think that it's due to Apple's poor emulation of non-power PC code. I purchased Connectix SpeedDoubler and it completely changed the way 7.6.1 felt; it was MUCH faster in opening windows and copying and

Re: Best TV tuner?

Anybody have an opinion for what the best TV tuner for a 7600 or 9600 PCI based Mac would be? I've got an iXMicro TV Tuner that works ok, but not great. I think that virtually all the PCI card based TV tuners out there for Macs are based on the same hardware, just rebranded (or slightly

Re: Best TV tuner?

Golly, I did it again. My apologies to the list - I sent another message destined for the PCI-PowerMacs list to PowerBooks! I'm going to go fix my address book now. Peace, Drew -- Author of ClassicStumbler email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.alksoft.com/ Visit the PowerBook 5300 FAQ!

Re: 3400c Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws

Actually I'm running 9.2.2 on my 3400c 240mhz ram maxed out and it's quite a bit zippier than 8.6 or 9.1. The finder is much, much faster. I would recommend at least trying 9.2.2 if you can. gs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronics

Re: 5300C and USB

Does anyone have any experience of fitting USB into a 5300C - ie. How for us ignoramuses? Is it possible ? It has a PCMCIA slot if this helps with an answer. TIA Gerald Jennings, -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com

Powerbook 500 Series Battery Charging

I have been unsuccessfully trying for 3 days to charge up a brand new shrink-wrapped BTI battery for my 540c. I thought I was successful tonight. I unplugged the PB (after it was plugged in all night and all afternoon) and hit the power key to boot it. It booted fine and after one minute it

Farallon SkyLINE Wireless PC Card and 1400

Hello, all. I have a (now antiquated) Farallon SkyLINE Wireless PC Card (PCMCIA, 2Mb/s) that I am trying to get to work in my PowerBook 1400. I installed the proper software, and am having difficulties. The card works fine in my WallStreet 300, but freezes my 1400 every time I insert it. It is

Re: 3400c Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws

I did try 9.2.2.. and yeah it was quite fast finder response was excellent in 9.2.2, better than all of the other 9s. It was very RAM hungry though, and crashed alot especially with PCMCIA cards installed. I made a whole page about it, and other fairly neat stuff I've done with my 3400c
