Makes sense to me... Can't put a price on the nostalgia we get from using old Apple gear. Riddle me this... does it make sense for me to occasionally do book research on my PowerB…

No, doesn't make a lot of sense as beachycove said. From the looks of eBay US, you can get a Pismo 500MHz for around $250-300.

No, it is not worth it, if worth is calculated in terms of cold, rational thought. You can buy a Pismo for $200.

In your opinions, is it really worth shelling out $200 to bump my 1400 to a G3/400?

I do it on my iMac all the time. Power: i would hope so Mini-DVI: connected to 18"CRT Ethernet: wired to PowerMac G4 for uber fast transfers Firewire 800: don't have anything t…

Apart from the modem port and the Audio In port, usually my PowerBook G4 has all the ports in use. Ethernet is connected to a 5-port switch which is the core of the wired portion …

I've had all the ports on my MacBook bar the line in use once a few months back: Power: Duh! Ethernet: Crossover cable to a customer's laptop, with the MacBook acting as a bridge…

I had all the ports of my PowerBook 150 (SCSI Ethernet, Localtalk to PB 180 and Power). I also had all the ports on my Acer Aspire One filled (Power, VGA, Ethernet, USB DVD-ROM, i…

Just another one of those curiosity threads, but who has actually managed to use all the ports on their 'Book? I just managed it a little earlier, and things got a little scrambled…

Hi, Im going to buy a Wifi card for my PB5300cs, a question of sharing information with a main computer comes up. Anyway my point is, would it be possible to file share between: …

OK, make sure you've downloaded the relevant drivers: http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~ngc/eng/newtwave.htm Set your base station to WEP or unencrypted. go into Owner info and set up …

I just bought a Newton 2100, wifi card bronze, etc. I cannot get on my network. Please help.

I may install the router between them to see if that will work. Click to expand... Is the 7.5 box using Appleshare over IP, if not you are wasting your time. To resolve the IP…

Thanks again. I tried unique IP addresses for each machine to no avail. Footnote - I can network (via ethernet) my PPC7600 to my iMac and my iMac to my G3 but I can't seem to netw…

Nope, its as simple as just going into TCP/IP and giving both machines a unique IP address. You only need a router if you're connecting the machines to the Internet. Its just a mat…

Assigning each a static address makes sense to me. Is that as simple as manually assigning the addresses in TCP/IP or do I need to connect a router in between them and do so throug…

Why do you need DHCP, anyway? If you've only got the two machines on the network, wouldn't it be easier to just give each a static IP? (most likely in the 192.168.0.xxx range)

Try putting a router in between them. I had a my PowerBook 150 connect to my iMac G3 (9.2.1) instantly after the driver installed for the ENSC Mini and rebooted. Click to expand…

Oh, and have you plugged it in?

Good old "ZAP the PRAM", as the AppleTalk node is held in PRAM and may not be being negotiated properly. Click to expand... The AppleTalk client should negotiate a unique ID ev…

Is file sharing on? Are the file sharing extensions enabled? Confirm both have AppleTalk configured on ethernet. Confirm both machines only have one ethernet port. What zones d…

Thanks. I have Appletalk on and set to ethernet on both the PPC7600 and the G3. Still can't get them to connect using the chooser.

The PPC7600 is running OS 7.5 and the G3 is running OS 8.6 Click to expand... I would expect the 7.5 box to be using AppleTalk for AppleShare, not TCP/IP. Try setting up Apple…
