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…

In answer to your initial question, yes! The 1400 is a great early PPC portable which is suitable for many retro tasks, and has the benefit of being able to run System 7, 8 and 9. …

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…

The networking settings (particularly IP address and subnet mask) are correct? Click to expand... Those shouldn't matter if you're using the DHCP thing. Both Macs will just inv…

The networking settings (particularly IP address and subnet mask) are correct?

I have two older Macs (PPC7600 and G3 B&W) that I want to network. The PPC7600 is running OS 7.5 and the G3 is running OS 8.6 I have both HD's named and set for sharing. I…

1400s never came with a card installed at the factory. Apple made video and ethernet cards, as did NewerTech, but the only way to buy a 1400 brand new with a card was to buy from a…

No, no, they were completely different physically: the 5300 had a ~12x4cm card whereas the 1400 took a fairly square ~6x4cm card. Of course, they were the same electrically, more …

The ports on the 1400 are the same as the 5300, except for the fact that the 1400's expansion slot could hold either video or Ethernet solutions Click to expand... The 1400 exp…

I figured it wasn't a good idea, but it's always nice to have confirmation. If money wasn't so tight right now, I'd have a lot more options... but since it is, I'll just have to h…

Shot in the dark mode: Have you tried the adapter with anything else? If the battery was dead and the adapter didn't work that would explain it. Unlikely but possible.

The reset button on PowerBooks essentially IS a CUDA switch - actuating the reset button on a portable Mac has the same effect as depressing the CUDA reset on a desktop; its effect…

That's quite unfortunate. All of mine have worked when their replacements arrived. To that end, I've had three machines fail to GLoD, all resurrected. One was fixed by replacing a…

The "plug issues" typically plague only the 190/5300-series, mostly because of the tiny plug (which could break easily) and receptacle (whose solder joints would often break loose …

As my PowerBook 150 has bitten the dust I no longer have a portable computer. I have been reading Wikipidia articles and websites about the PowerBook 1400. I am used to the cruddy…

Hey I would be glad to! I installed 8.1 again, but this time I formatted the Hard drive as Mac OS Standard. Then I install a minimal 8.1. I boot into that and put my 7.6 CD into th…

Thank you so much! I now have a working OS 7.6 system Click to expand... (a) Can you tell us how you got out of your pickle? It would be nice to know what the problem really wa…
