Sorry, but the 1400 is a NuBus architecture machine, therefore USB was not a

Yes,
VST had a CD-ROM option for the 5300 series PBs. I have one on my
5300ce.

I'm here at Kfest and the question came up: was there a CD-ROM option
for
the 5300/190 that can be swapped for the disk drive module?
Thanks!

But it won't fit, it can't, is it external? I'll just try fitting a CD
into the empty drive bay of mine...nope, the bay is too narrow. A full
size CD cannot possibly fit without destroying half the case.

I used my 5300ce that I forgot that I had to buy an external CD-ROM to
use it. Sorry all. My CD-ROM was with my Wallstreet 1 and my Pismo

You can get an PCMCIA Ethernet card for the 1400. I have one use
it to hook my 1400 to the ethernet port on an airport base station,
and hence to a broadband connection. Result, super fast internet,
much better than other Macs in the house which rely on old style
Airport cards!

The best of these is probably the 3Com EtherLink III, model 3C589C.
These are useless without the dongle, however, and there were several
dongle styles, from the short RJ-45 female to the long RJ-45 male.
Early 3C589 cards took a special

The media bay of the 5300, and the similarly sized 190, is not expandable
to accept a CD-ROM.
The later 3400 (and Kanga), which uses many of the same case parts as the
5300, has an expandable media bay, and will accept

All USB 1.1 cards, were Cardbus from the git go. USB 2.0, too. Firewire,
We knew an external CD-ROM is possible (I've got a 1x one that I've used
on both the 5300 and the 520c), but the discussion here had someone sure
they had read that the internal one was possible. We were trying to
figure out how you'd fold that disk to make it fit. :)
I hate to add fuel to the flame, BUT I did once hear of a USB 1.1 PCMCIA
card, made for the early non-carbus PC laptops, like the Thunk-Pad...
There were also reports of an IBM Firewire card which was PCMCIA, but
when I got my hands on it, it was clearly Cardbus and not PCMCIA.

I bid on one of the VST power supplies on ebay last week, but got sniped
at the last 5 seconds (or something like that). The major drawback of

Or, failing that, modify a CardBus PCMCIA card to fit in the existing card
