This is what I mean by a slab-shaped or thick antenna:

Carried out a quick test in a 233 model. The following PCMCIA cards, both with the slab-shaped antenna: a) Orinoco 11 Mbit/s Gold (blue and gold label), Lucent Technologies on the antenna, Lucent Technologies PC 24E-H-FC on the backside label. b) Orinoco Wireless Networks Gold (purple and gold...

Also, an Apple knowledge base article 75082 (modified 4/18/02) AirPort 1.3.1 Document and Software contained the following hardware requirements: AirPort-capable computer with an internal AirPort Card A PowerBook G3 or G4 series computer with a Lucent WaveLAN or Orinoco IEEE Turbo 11MB PC Card

Which exact power adapter are you using? Apple power adapter model number, if applicable? Check the power adapter label/text for output voltage and current. One would expect 24 V at the power plug terminals. Please note that the special barrel-type power plug is different. See also, for...

You mentioned Proxim Orinoco Gold cards. Do these have a "thick" antenna like an earlier 11 Mbit/s Lucent Technologies Orinoco Gold card? At least the latter ought to be detected if Mac OS 9.x AirPort software exists on a Wallstreet. A Proxim card with a "thin" antenna on the other hand may have...

Thank you for the update. Yes, one should perhaps not rule out a hardware problem in the twisted-pair section of the adapter. I guess that the CSW 2200 as such has been tested OK without a cable (a nozzle test pattern print, page 15 in the printer manual). Also, directly connected to a...

StyleWriter EtherTalk Adapter datasheet information indicates support for the CSW 2200 (which is a serial printer). A text on the adapter packaging should confirm this.

Would it be correct to assume that everything is according to the instructions? download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/printers/ZM0308907SWEtherTalkAdapter.PDF download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/printers/0306992AACSW2200SU.PDF

Normally, a quick-acting fuse (look for an F1) for current protection in PowerBook computers is irreversible. Additionally, there may be various overvoltage-protecting devices/circuits such as zener diodes. Same result with or without the main battery installed? Have you checked the output DC...

As a very first step, it is probably wise to reflow the DC power socket connection. Also, you may want to rule out anything BlueSCSI or system software related by using a Network Access Disk 7.5 floppy as a startup disk in the internal floppy drive.

Also, the user's manual pp 4, 24f, 95 could possibly be of interest to you. download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/powerbooks/0340296APB3400UM.PDF

Yes, shiny new gadget from 1995. :) A user's guide can be found on the web. You would have to check whether or how the appropriate DaynaPORT software can be used with the PowerBook's system version, though.

Another option would be a real Dayna Pocket SCSI/Link connected to the SCSI port of the 1400cs/133 (and getting power from the ADB port or a separate power adapter). https://support.apple.com/en-us/112159

You should see 7.5 V DC output at the tip (centre-positive). The power adapter may not be warm unless a certain amount of power is used by the computer. 2.0 A maximum output current power adapters should be OK, but a 3.0 A model (intended for the 180c) will work as well. It may also be worth...

A CompactFlash memory card and a PC Card adapter for CF in the PowerBook, as suggested by LaPorta, is the way I would use in a similar case. If necessary, the card can be PC-formatted (FAT). With an appropriate Ethernet PC Card, or an Orinoco Silver or Gold Wi-Fi PC card (with the thick...
