Re: Faster hard drive

Keep in mind that the 5300 can only work with hard drives in PIO Mode-4. That should give a grand total of some 16 or so MB/s under ideal conditions. Combined with the fact that the 5300 can't do any DMA (direct memory access) of any sort, has a very slow system bus (33 MHz) and a pokey CPU (

Re: Faster hard drive

> Has anyone experienced excessive heat problems or power requirement > problems with a faster hard drive? No, the 5300 runs pretty cool anyway--I can run mine for hours and it never gets more than a little warm, as compared to a 3400/240 which gets quite toasty after a couple of hours of use. A 5

Re: Wifi card for 1400c

That may certainly be a problem. You may need to order one, for as far as I know, not many places stock cards that can be used with a 1400. Most places stock the big names like you have mentioned, but most cards the 1400 can use are made by Proxim/Agere/Lucent (one of those names - can ne

I put a 3400 battery in a 5300 once and it powered the machine fine, but it wouldn't charge it. The 5300 battery is totally compatible with the 3400 and the Kanga, though. It just doesn't last very long in a 3400. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electron

Re: Wifi card for 1400c

I've used the Proxim card in both a PPC'd 520c and a 5300c. Works fine, and was a really good price. My only complaint, and I think it's the software, is that BetterTelnet tends to freeze up using wifi, so I use ProTermMac as a telnet program instead. :) Later.Howard __
