CD-R Drive

Greetings, all, Have any of you heard of or used this particular external SCSI CD drive -- Smart and Friendly CD-R 8020" ? If so, can it be used "as is," and if not do you know what software or drivers it needs and doesn't have? I propose to use it for data backup and storage for both my PB 1

Re: What do people think of the SkyLine software?

This is another reason it's too bad they use the 2.4GHz band the way they do. An 802.11 device operating on a given channel actually uses frequencies in that channel AND each channel on either side. So instead of 11 channels you can use there are really only about 4. Right. This is why I design

Re: Re(2): PB1400 Questions

That's what I originally thought as well. I figured that the lower wattage on the M7883 would just take a LOT longer to recharge the battery, but until I had a real 1400 AC adapter, I killed an old battery, a new (old stock) battery, and a rebuilt one I made. Mobo mojo maybe? Can anyone explain why

After some further inspection, the 1400 motherboard seems to have the same -B PMU unit. Can someone else inspect some of thier 1400 mobos to confirm this ? Ebay usually has cheap 1400 mobos, so that can be an easy source for the IC. Mad Dog -- PowerBooks is sponsored by

Have you confirmed it's the ADB controller and not the trackpad. The easiest way to do this is to plug in a mouse to the external ADB port. The trackpad works on another 3400 I have, so thats not the problem. The most likely failure of ADB is due to a blown fuse. There are several surface mo

PB3400c ADB chip

I was looking over my 3400 boards and one of them uses the same PMU chip as the 5300, while others use a -B version of the chip. So, I am hoping that all the 3400 can use either the 3400 or 5300 PMU chip. Mad Dog -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electroni
