Re: Back with Mac - Stalls when online

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't realize I had set the clock to automatic update. I noticed it updated 45 minutes ago, I have set it to manual. Maybe it will get rid of my biggest gripe on my PowerBook so far! Nothing in the server folder. -- Russell - Unknown1 - Idaho USA http://www.narrowgau

Back with Mac - Stalls when online

After years away (for some reason, maclaunch didn't like my address at myrealbox.com - I don't like it much anymore either) I now have an address at macmail.com that is working really well (thanks Low End Mac!). Anyway, I am still using my 3400 and still having slowdowns. For some reason only whil

Re: iTools on pre OS9

Whoa! Not so fast! Unfortunately with Apple's latest changes (after they were quoted as saying they 'didn't care' if users of older OS got iTools pages) It looks like you MUST HAVE OS9 or better to sign up. After that you can update your webpage (with manual HTML) and use their POP3 email (which i

Re: HELP! File transfer trouble...

It is not possible to write a mac DD disk on a PC - They are actually 800k and are a format PC floppy drives cannot read. FORTUNATELY for you the 140 has the Mac 1.4M HD floppy drive (or it SHOULD). In this case what you need is a piece of PC software called TransMac to write Mac disks on your P

Re: 3400 PRAM battery replacement procedure?

How hard is it to replace the PRAM battery? In my old 180 it was REALLY a pain. The local Mac shop wants $35 for the battery alone!! I might just make one from a couple of watch batteries if I need to! Russ = Russell - Unknown1 - Idaho USA http://idaho.cjb.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] - An Idaho Ra

Re: cheap 3400c hardware

I'm here at the 'Internet Cafe' at Walmart (!) so don'thave my links handy so can't find it right now, but there is a group in Australia that uses homebuilt antennas (cost about $10) to connect from 7km! Our local ISP uses 802.11b for high speed wireless access and with a 24db gain antenna (plenty

Re: 3400c software

My 3400 has 48 megs of ram on OS8.1 and IE5 is practically unusable, especially if you are listening to MP3s in the background! Just got iCab and it is amazing! Fast and only uses bout 3megs while running several windows! I really want to add 128 megs and a 20 gig drive for about $200, but think

Serial Cable or Link Cable? - iTools hack

A couple more questions regarding my now working Powerbook: A have a cable that looks like a Modem or Printer Cable (8 pins). How can I tell if it is a printer cable or (hopefully) a null modem/ link cable? It has two arrows on the molded ends (one pointing each direction) Does anyone have the l

Having been through this many times with my Windows machines over the years, I thought 'no way', well guess what? YES WAY! I manually entered the DNS server numbers and that was it. Works now, I am typing this on the 'Book now using Yahoo's web mail. Now to download the updates Thanks for all

Well, I plan on upgrading to 8.6 as soon as I get the funds. I don't think I'll try 9 or X with 48 megs of RAM. --- Bruce Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Russell Idaho - USA wrote: > > I went to the HP site and it list all contents of > the > > box (nic

I went to the HP site and it list all contents of the box (nice feature, really) no Mac software included. Is Apple disk Burner part of iMusic? can I get it to work with my OS 8.1? Thanks for your responses. Russ --- Bruce Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Russell Idaho - USA wro

Connecting to internet, modem dials, IE can't find it

My new 3400 is still causing me a little trouble as I can't get online to download needed updates (namely OS 8.1) and software. The internal modem dials up with PPP and connects fine, but IE 5 (and 4.5 before it)can't seem to find the connection. I've checked PPP, TCP/IP, Modem, AppleTalk,and We

Will this HP external SCSI CD work with Macs?

Just got this ad from TigerDirect (a good place to buy cheap low end PC stuff) and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this drive on a Mac? Doesn't say anything about Mac compatability, but most HP seems to have SOME Mac software

Re: I have seen my powerbooks crack...

On my recently obtained 3400, the hinges are good, but spongy. I'm thinking of milling a whole new assembly out of billet aluminum that will have a much more solid feel. I have a lathe/milling machine, just have to fool with it some more before attempting projects like that Russ --- Aaron Cl
