Shreve systems DOES have the 5300/190 power adapters for $10! However, that $18 shipping and handling charge they want to tack on to that makes this not a very good deal after all. Later.Howard Computer n. A pocket

PC Card SCSI Driver?

2004-04-07 Thread hugo diaz quintanilla
Hi, listers! I recently bought a Panasonic CD-RW Portable with a PCMCIA (PC) Card, that it can be set to 16-bit or CardBus. The card appears in the Desktop as a SCSI Card, but the CD-RW is not recognized. Do I need a driver? I googled it, but can find only Windoze Drivers, no Mac in sight. Any

re discussion of booting from flash cards: Is there a limit to the number of writes a flash card can take? (I know with some sorts of cmos architecture this can be an issue) If so, will using it for a boot or VM disk wear it out? Ben -- The VidaVerde Seed Collection 14 Southdown Avenue, Lewes

Done this with the Duo adapter to my 1400 when the 1400's AC went bad. The Duo's stock ac adapter doesn't put out enough power to charge the battery, but it will run the 1400. Word of warning though, if you leave in the 1400's battery when you use the Duo's adapter, you WILL kill the battery.

Does yours happen to have a CPU upgrade? Mine does, so I was wondering if the difference in power draw would affect performance. Maybe? Thanks, Jason On Apr 7, 2004, at 9:07 PM, Chris wrote: Done this with the Duo adapter to my 1400 when the 1400's AC went bad. The Duo's stock ac adapter
