Hi, hope someone will be able to help me out with this. My mom got an old PowerBook 1400c for use at work, but she's kind of- afraid to turn it on. So, it's been sitting on the side table in the TV room for a while and I thought I might be able to use it for some recording while she thinks about whether she'll actually attempt to use it or not. I installed ProTools 3.4 as described on this website <http://www.oakbog.com/PT3NuBus.html> because 5.0 wouldn't work; but this isn't doing much better. In powermix mode I can record a track fine- but when I go to add a second track (or play the recorded track), the machine locks up shortly after it begins to play the first recorded track. Anyone have any experience with ProTools on a 1400? Is there a different version that works better? Or am I doing something wrong...
This is a 233Mhz G3 upgraded machine, 64MB RAM, 20GB hard drive running OS 9.1. The latest version of OMS is installed as well.
Also, the battery seems like it's dead- but just on the off chance that it isn't, is there a third party battery reconditioning application I can use? The Apple one didn't do anything... the battery first registers as empty when you stick it in the machine, but after a few seconds it suddenly 'becomes' full, keeping in mind when you unplug the AC adapter the machine shuts off immediately. I'm trying to avoid a new battery... I'm not liking the prices I've been seeing- $98 being the cheapest so far.
Thanks, -Adam
