How much RAM is on that 5300? I found 8.1 to be sluggish with 24
megs, but when I bumped the machine up to 40 and replaced the slow
stock HD with a faster one, OS 8.1 suddenly became more responsive
than any version of System 7 I'd tried. Not to mention it is far more
stable.

Thanks everyone for all the info.
I did upgrade to 8.1 in the end and the problem went away. I'm going to have a go at
copying files from my PC with a CompactFlash
card seeing as that seems to be possible.
It currently only has 16Mb of RAM - I think it was only used for running M$ Word
You should upgrade to 8.1 on the 5300 regardless. It's definitely more
stable than 8.0, although either is 10 times better then 7.5.x.
And lke was said before, make sure you have Shared Library Manager PPC
installed.
You also might want to make sure you have the latest hard disk drivers

Does anyone know if upping the OS to 8.1 would fix this (another 13
floppies :) ) or if there is another way to get it working?
Go back to 7.6.1. 8.1 is bloatware by comparison--takes up nearly twice
as much RAM, and is really slow on a head to head comparison of boot
time, app. open time, etc.
But thanks for the confirmation on that 4000 colors issue. I thought
I had read that somewhere...
So now I wonder what will happen if I do it anyway! ;-) Can't harm
the hardware, can it (I mean, besides slip-ups during soldering in the

Here's a question... If I upgraded my 5300cs to 1MB of VRAM (instead
of the 512KB), would it give 16-bit color on a cs display? Would the
passive display work in that many colors?
Do the 1400cs displays work in thousands of colors or are they 8bit
(256 colors) only?
Peace,

Yeah, I've got a CE. Bought it for the so-called $99 bargain. I've
also got a 190 motherboard, a 5300(cs) motherboard (8MB RAM, 512KB
VRAM), and 3 fully functional displays with 3 equally dead data cables.
Over the last few weeks I've been experimenting on my 5300cs. I've

Mad Dog Victoria,
Yeah, that's what I thought. But I have this nagging in the back of
my mind - I think I read somewhere (couldn't find it just now though)
that the passive matrix display on the 5300 can only do some 4000
colors... I don't think it's a problem w/ the video controller...

I´m quite surprised that your 5300cs hasn´t got a tappale trackpad. My

Good luck,

Ah, so that would be it then: I can replace the 5300 trackpad with the
trackpad from a 190! I do faintly recall something about them being
different mechanisms...
Peace,
