Re: How can I make PB190 emergency floppy?

Dear Aydin. I have an emergency disk for 190. The 190s need an 'enabler' with the older OSes, I dont rember from when it was no longer necessary, somebody on the list knew some time ago. I have never used it. I got the Norton programme and created a Disk Doctor start disk that I use

Re: different 1400 ram?

Re: pb1400 -- what resolution

Ben and David try for a 166c if you can get it as the 166 has a later ROM (the 177 and most 133 units cannot be upgraded to 166 but will still take G3 cards) No, the Sonnet works with ALL the ROMs! - Sometimes there are conflict problems with running OS 8.6 or 9.0, but in fact these never

1400 nicities

1) I have several times seen covers for the 1400 refered to such as leather of solar panel, but I have never seen them for sale or second hand. Does anyone know if they are avialable - or excist? 2) I have recently studied Remy's detailed homepage on PCMCIA and CardBus cards and was

3400 repairs

Last night I put the RAM in, rebooted from the 8.6 CD and verified that it saw the RAM. (By the way, when booting off the CD, it would say that the disk was unreadable and it wanted to Initialize it.) Next I decided to try and reinsatll the OS. I tried running the install from the desktop,

Re: Global Village (3)

Thanks, Clark. I was beginning to fear something the like. And the trouble is the GV dongle has proven impossible for me to get hold on (in Denmark), when I tried on behalf of a freind last year. Advertising on Mac lists, mailing to GV or faxing and snail posting their order form gave no reply.

Global village (3)

I have got myself a new old Global Village Platinum Pro modem cum ethernet card. It works fine as a modem and I have flash upgraded it to 33000. But I can't get it working as network. When I try to swich Apple Talk, both on my 1400 with 8.5 and on the 190 with 7.3.5 it says something in Danish

Re waking PB from sleep mode

Dave. My 1400/G3 had the same symptoms when I installed faulty ram. It recovered when I removed it again Christopher Tølløse Denmark I can't get my Pismo to wake up from sleep mode. I can hear it purring, but I have to force a restart with the command/control/power switch each time. --

Re: 1400 Max Hard Drive for SCSI Disk Mode

Be also aware that HDs come in various thiknesses, I think 9, 12 and 15 mm. And I think the 1400 uses the thinest of these. And then there are the different sets of holes for the screws... - not to discouage you! Christopher, Tølløse, Denmark Geoffrey wrote: I picked up a 1400, wnat to put
