While I get the PowerPort software to work fine in a couple of 5xx PBs with Global Village modem, I have an issue with an -apparently- non GV modem. I thought GV were the only internal modems for the 5xx series, but it does not seem to be so.
The Modem Card (beneath the RAM expansion module) has a "Apple Computers" in-print (as opposed to the Global Village print/sticker) and at start-up I get a message saying that the "PowerPort software was not installed because this system is not running an appropriate Global Village modem". The modem card layout is also different from the GV card and the 540 PB it came from is a German version, bearing at the back no sticker reporting the kind of modem model installed. I had (smartly!) ereased the original HD (loaded with a German OS version of 7.x and where the original software could have been found) as soon as I got the machine and I'm now left to figure out how to use this modem card. Any hints of non Global Village modems for the 5xx? cheers, gianfranco -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
