Sorry for dredging up a three year old post, but I learned a while ago (by reading the addendum that came with the MV16-EN software update) that the problem involves 5300s with more than 32Mb RAM. The lockup occurs whenever a sound plays when you're using an external monitor. The issue is...

I'll give the wiki a look, thank you! As for the remainder of the equipment, I had the damaged equipment carted away, as there was a not-insignifigant amount of sewage involved in the flood...

I'll be trying out an offline reader (TIMM) tonight, so I'll d/l Black Night and give it a shot. Thanks for the recommendation!

Amen to that!

Yup, that's the one! :lol: Heavy beast, ain't it?

I feel your pain... I lost 3/4 of my computer equipment in a flood last November, and I'm STILL taking stock of what I have left, what works, what'll be a donor machine, etc.

HI all, Ive found myself away from home (due to renovations) with only my Powerbook 5300 at my disposal. While not my first choice of computers (I put the wrong laptop bag into storage), the 5300 has performed quite well and I'm able to do nearly everything I need. As web browsing is a...

Have you had any problems with your 5300s locking up when using an external monitor with the MV16-EN? I've had an MV16-EN in my 5300 for ages, and it'll drive an external monitor (and network) just fine until an audio event (error message, media file, et cetera) occurs, at which point the...

Do it! The important thing is getting the ol' PET to run!

I wouldn't worry too much about coming up with one good idea, mate. Several fair-to-bad ideas are infinitely more interesting (and a lot more fun).

I should have some free time in the first week of June! I'm allotting some time to plan for this years RC, so this might be a welcome diversion.
