Thank you all for your replies. Part of my challenge for the 3400 is to keep the drive small since I like System 7 and it doesn't like large drives (unless they're partitioned), bu…

IIRC, that was a problem with specific drives in the 30-40 GB (that size only because that was current in '03/'04) range for the 2400c, 3400c, Kanga, and Wallstreets. OWC had a pa…

I certainly could not get an ATA-6 drive to work in a 2400c recently, and had to downgrade to an older drive that I had to do some hunting to find (as it needed to be quiet). The 2…

I know these Duos are IDE and SCSI- would that cause an issue for this mod? Click to expand... In it's stock config, the 2300c uses an IDE hard disk - I've put a 10GB in mine. …

The 3400 should theoretically be able to use any HDD under 120GB. It should even be able to use HDDs over 120GB, just that it'll only recognise the first 128GB.

I come bearing hard drive questions. I need to put a new HD in my 3400c, but I recall hearing once that some ATA-6 drives don't work with that series, does anyone have more data on…

"It depends." Take a read here: http://lukazi.blogspot.com/2009/04/game-controller-atari-joysticks.html There are different ways to adapt the digital-to-analog world of Atari-to…

I just prefer using D-pads over joysticks which is why I wanted to use a Genesis controller. Would it work?

I just found this adapter on eBay. Since Genesis controllers are compatible with Atari, this is a loophole to allow using a Genesis controller with an Apple II, right? Has anybody …

Hi, I will leave you a PM just a bit easier that way. Since I do not always log in here. Take Care

Thou sayest sooth. I misappreciated Byrd's difficulty. The sideslot accepts the bent ribbon-cable by forcefit, and it is only logical to expect that it can be removed with force.…

Actually, the 1400's HDD ribbon uses a 44 pin notebook IDE connector on the logic board side that works in exactly the same way as the 44 pin connector that plugs into the HDD. Oth…

The ribbon cables in PB1400s and earlier PBs (at least), and the ribbon cables of PB displays, trackballs/trackpads and so on all operate in the same way. The tinned terminals on t…

Yes, but especially the 1400's HDD cable, as it folds up into the case, and with it being a 12 - 13 year old ribbon cable, they're starting to go a little brittle, and if you flex …

Just a little advice - be CAREFUL with that HDD ribbon! Click to expand... Basically, any ribbon cable.

Just a little advice - be CAREFUL with that HDD ribbon! I accidently tore one once a couple of years ago when I was switching HDDs in my 1400 - thank God I had a parts machine to g…

Well, that would have happened by some good old fashioned yanking it out Then I realised I probably wasn't meant to do it that way; thankfully the HD ribbon is super-tuff and u…

How did you get the original HD out?

Hi, I picked up an "as is" Powerbook 1400cs/166 from eBay for ~ $25 BIN, untested. It arrived tonight with the specs of stock 16MB RAM/1.3GB HD, floppy drive, and Newertech ether…

Any one out there need a copy of this driver? Click to expand... Apparently, I do. :-/ Can you email it? If so, I'll PM you my email address... Peace, Drew

So the XLR8 driver worked for the Vimage G3?

I completely forgot how easy it was to network 2 macs using the printer ports. I pulled the driver I needed off of the floppy I had from a 190cs. The 1400 runs so much faster wit…

Did you try the link to the Vimage driver Click to expand... I get: Error Message: The specified database was not found Error Code: -609

Did you try the link to the Vimage driver I posted above? Peace, Drew
