I have heard that later Powerbooks, into the early G4 series even, used ADB internally for the trackpad. What would be involved in hooking into that, I have no idea.

Ugh, bad timing. It was down for a while today because of all the storms over where the host is. It is working fine now.

And a proxy gives me: couldn't connect to host So... try it from within a proxy, wackymacs!

I have never dealt with a MP120 personally, but it does have a socketed ROM, meaning that you can pull it and replace the ROM chip with another from (ideally) a MP120 that had been…

This "ADB peripheral" wouldn't happen to be that Paladin keyboard would it?

Now that's service! This is almost like the old days here & on 'fritter . . . . . . ask a question-n-have an answer posted lickety-split! There were no Po…

There were no PowerBooks made that had both ADB and USB from the factory (the only Mac that can claim that honour is the Blue and White G3). However, you can add a USB CardBus card…

From what I can gather, the server's up, but there's nothing on it. *crosses his fingers that Mac Hut comes back online sometime within my last 48 hours of access to high speed…

Just to let everyone know, the server is back up and its now hosted on OS X instead of Vista. Click to expand... It was hosted on Vista?! You've got a lot of nerve. >

The VST drivers are simply rebadged Iomega drivers which are loaded. Restarting into my 8.6 partition, see what that does.

Dumb question I know, but you have installed the Zip drivers, right? Also, I've never dealt with one of those VST drives before - do they need special drivers, or do they use the n…

Sorry, my mistake, it's a MessagePad 120.

I've got another question, this time about CF cards as HDs. I've been reading about wear-leveling and the speculation by some that with daily use the card would be toast after a fe…

Excellent. Thanks for the information, beachycove. It looks like I'll have a fun project next weekend.

... how did you install the OS onto the CF card in your 2300c? I am away from its DuoDock II and have no external CD drive, so I was thinking I would put it into a PCMCIA adapter a…

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…

If you can afford an active matrix display, get one. Even compared to recent displays the 1400c is quite nice and usable.

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. …
