Well, it's definitely the Rev. C adapter. I just got a 5300c and the WiFi card is recognized in it, so I guess I'll transfer my files from the 520c to this machine, and just keep the older machine as a backup. (I guess I'm moving up in the world--10 years late? :) ) The only thing I'm going to

IE freeze ups?

Is it just me or do others have trouble with Internet Explore 5.1 freezing, especially when pulling down menus or using the scroll bar? I have a PB 1400cs with a sonnet G3. I don't have much trouble when I use Netscape Communicator 4.7.6. I don't even have to be using IE. I have freeze-ups

How to with a 5300c?

Well, since my repair skills are limited to a hammer (not a good thing to do with electronics :) ) I got a PB 5300c off the swap list. Nice machine and I can do wifi. I've got it pretty much set up the way I want, except: it came with a Global Village PowerPort PlatinumPro card. I'd like to

3400c Mac OS 7.6.1 - Slow Window Redraws

2004-03-11 Thread Dan Palka
So I got my 3400c running 7.6.1 now and it's super duper. Everything is fast and its pretty stable. Only one thing bugs me and that is that windows seem to redraw slowly if I move a window from one location to another. Mac OS 8 didn't do this - window redraws were immediate. But in 7.6.1 I

Why would 7.6.1 redraw slower than 8? Especially since everything else runs much faster. I would suspect that 7.6.1 just doesn't do QuickDraw acceleration as well as 8.1 would. Running 7.6, I bet your 3400 feels as fast as a G4. I could never do it, though; I like the features in OS 9 too

Running 7.6, I bet your 3400 feels as fast as a G4. I could never do it, though; I like the features in OS 9 too much. It is very fast. It feels great to have it running as fast as it was when it was the fastest notebook computer the world has ever seen OS9 running on the 3400c wasn't worth

clock battery prob on 180c where to find it?

I have a PB180c which appears in fine shape except that the day time change constantly before my eyes. Setting Date Time in Control Panels seems to have no effect. Would this be a clock/cmos battery problem? I have another 180c for parts that I have completely disassembled looking for
