2003-03-31 Thread pook la roux
I have been reading the archived posts about wireless pc(mcia) cards 'til my eyes are dry. Does someone know offhand whether I can get a driver to run a d-link wireless pc card in my cardbus -enabled 3400? I have access to a way cheap used d-link pc card. Be a real sweet deal to get that to work

I was running this pc card modem fine in my 5300c/100 (24mb Ram running 8.6) with the Megahertz v90 driver dl'd from the US Robotics site. I tried plugging it into the newest pb in our collection, a 3400c/180 (running 8.6 with 32mb ram) using the same driver. I see the card on the desktop. I can c

ethernet pc card for 5300c/3400c

2003-02-11 Thread pook la roux
I need to know the brand names of some ethernet pc cards that would work on both the 5300c and the 3400c. Most of the cards I can get new off the shelf require cardbus (and we know we don 't have that...) so I'm sure I'm looking for something used. I did a search in the archives about it, and I kn

Does anyone on this list use a pc card smartcard reader with a 5300 or 3400? I have a Fujifilm floppy card adapter, but it even says in the documentation not to use it on a PowerBook. The first floppy adapter we bought was a Sony device, and it failed to work at all on any machine we own. (The Fu

A lot will depend on how much RAM you have and whether you are using an older hard drive (like me) or a newer, faster one. I run 8.6 and I only have 24mb, but almost all I do is word processing or the like, and even in Word, it's not that bad. Originally, I got online thru Earthlink dial up using

making restore disks

Because I got my 5300c used, it did not come with original install disks or anything like that. I loaded 8.6 on it using a localtalk connection (yes, like waiting for toenails to grow...) I have everything from 7.1 through 8.6 but all of it is on CD. I haven't made any startup disks since I was in

I'm just getting into digital photography, and I was thinking I might as well buy a camera I could use with the 5300. I have two junky cheapo digital cameras, neither of which performs very reliably, and they both hook up using USB. So neither of them will work with my 5300. But if I pay real mone
