Hi guys, I picked up a Rev B card cage off of someone from the lem swap list
and for the life of me I can't get it to work with any of my PC cards. The
basics of the machine are that it's stock other than it has 20megs of ram,
350meg HD and running OS8.1. I tried getting the card cage to work
I use a Ridata Smart Media Adapter and it works perfect with my PowerBook
1400 (its a PCMCIA card). It doesn't need any software and it shows up as an
ATA drive on the desktop when a smartmedia card is inserted (and transfers
fast). I use a Fuji Finepix 1400 digital camera and a 64meg
A member of the list sent me older software which helped quite a bit. The
Global Village card now works, the ethernet card says its unrecognizable and
the smartmedia adapter says its defective (all tested in my 1400 and work).
The only thing odd is they still do not show up on the desktop,
Well, I don't know what model your talking about, but I have a PowerBook 170,
Duo 230 and a 520c and all of them use what's called a torx 8 (my PowerBook
1400c uses a precision Philips screwdriver, go figure). They can be at times
hard to find but they can be found at most hardware stores if in
Maybe you have an odd PowerBook 500 series but I just tore mine down to it's
guts to replace a few parts and it used a Torx-8. Just wanted to clarify that
so people didn't get confused.

I've gotten it to work fine (tested on a 520c and Quadra 800). Don't get me
wrong, it's not easy but I'll do my best to describe how I did it. First I
downloaded the whole 19 files and then decompressed the whole deal (gives you
a folder which is your installer). Anyway, I then used it to
Now, why can't anyone do something like that to a 1400? Figure 16meg built
in, 32meg on the bottom and a 48 stacked on top. That's 96megs without anyone
making new ram. I hear it's the ROM that gives it this max, if so, why do
1400 upgrades still have this same restriction?

My oldest Powerbook, a 170 which I saved from scrap a bit back was a little
toy I played with when I got bored back in the day. Pretty much everything
didn't work. But after much time and effort the only things I could never get
working was the battery, trackball and the space bar. So after
I own a stackable 32meg card for the 1400 (plug on top and bottom). And it's
stacked 32 on the bottom and 16 on top and works fine.

32 Meg modules are not stackable. 24s and smaller are. Even though the Max

in that slot is 48, it must be done with
