Hi Everyone,
I wrote earlier this week about a 1400Cs I got for free from a friend. Since then I have been pretty much using the system for Word Processing and minor tasks, using ClaisWorks. Since i had no ethernet card, or modem for it, I was stuck offline with it. Today the friend came by today and he had both a Modem and a Sonic Ethernet card. Since I use a Webramp, I tend to pull most everything into the LAN I have here and use it to share my ISP connection. Well everything was working fine, then half way thru the download, the 1400 shutdown. I thought that was strange, it had never just shutdown on me (keep in mind the unit is on AC, has a junk battery.) I had some trouble getting it to power back on, I would get the startup sound but then heard the HD just power down, and never got display. I finally did a reset of the unit, and reset the Pram, which seem to bring it back to life. Yet everytime I try and go online for a while, it will work flawlessly, then reboot if I try to download. Sometimes after 5 minute, sometimes after an hour. I can surf for a while with no problem. It always seems to be using the download. I have disabled ALL power management extensions, after setting them to "never". I can't figure this one out, and worse, I do not have the OS on Floppy, only CD and I have no CD for the unit. Another thing, sometimes it sees the Sonic Ethernet card and labels it "Ethernet" other times it labels it in gibberish. But this doesn't seem to have a bearing on the shutdowns. I can't figure this out, anyone have a suggestion? Thanks! Chuck -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
