Re: Getting PB 190 on Ethernet

The subject line tells it all: what's the best cheap way of getting my PB 190 on the Ethernet with my eMac? i can only think of one. Try to get a PCMCIA Ethernet card that works on the 190. Would a scsi->ethernet converter also do the trick? dana -- PowerBooks is sponsored by

ok, my list - only models I know I own as they're spread among 3 locations and in use by other people than myself - I also don't know just how many I have of each. Powerbook 190 - a nifty writing machine, brilliant to type on in the sunlight with that B&W screen Powerbook 540cs - my sit-on

Re: I need to share a silly powerbook story...

Then logic hits. 3 days ago I'd unplugged the power adaptor from the wall to use its kettle lead for another mac. How silly do I feel? :) First rule of electronics, "It works better if you plug it in". Second rule of electronics, "It works better if you turn it on." That 2nd rule can apply just a

I need to share a silly powerbook story...

Right. this is so silly I have to share. Laughing helps. I bought a powerbook 190 recently, in fantastic condition - very well looked after, and looks like it's barely been used by the wear on the keys. I fell for it hard!. Just the perfect little writing machine. I set it to sleep 2 days ago, l

None of these work. It tries hard but just stops a few minutes into its run time.If you restart it only goes as far as the Mac welcome screen then freezes. If its turned off and rebooted after about 5 minutes it will reboot from the CD. Anyone got any ideas before we bin the machine and Docks? I

What was the fastest modem ever available for a PB 500 series? My 540 runs pretty happily on 14.4k, but if it can creep that a fair bit higher, it would be useful... thanks :D dana -- http://dana.jaime.com/ -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronic
