Thank you so much for replies!!! Still some good people around here. I am so glad this forum is so alive. I have been a member for a long time. I will dig around ebay and I will have look on those VST plugins right now. Maybe a early version of cubase would make a good VST plugin host? Or do...

To be honest I have no idea about the possibilities with this. Either a synthesizer or or using software and the PowerBook, either in OsX or Os9, I dont mind. The sound I am looking for is something to go along with rock n roll!!! So a rhodes or wurlitzers are used I guess, or the Vox...

Hello, I would like to ask for some advice about setting up a PowerBook Pismo as a MIDI synthesizer. I have a M-Audio Keystudio 49: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MAudioKeyStudio.html Since it had no build in midi synthesizer and the software to get some sound out of it is hdd hungry...

Hi! Great to hear I am not the only one messing with a 5300. Well the PowerBook 5300 series and its relatives are quite prone to damage from use. Hinges especially. You can try to use some case parts from a PowerBook 190 which is very similar in design. Use epoxy wisely! The stupid part...

Oh yes! I completely forgot, the list of Mac adresses. Thats how I connected last time, I will do that, rather then WEP. So if I remember good I will turn WEP off, set the MAC list exceptions, and viola! I guess any other computer with Ethernet can connect through the wire without MAC exception...

Thanks for reply! Will try that out today! Anyway, what card/drivers for ethernet card would you recomend? I have one, powerbook detects it, but it doesnt have the apropriate drivers, I guess its only supported in windows. Thanks!

Thanks for replies! I remember when I first tried, I used it without encryption. But since Im in a block of flats there are a lot of users and I dont want no one to connect for free, or even access my shared files on the net. What does it mean 0x??? do I enter 0x"My Encryption Key"?

Hey guys I finnaly managed to install Mac Os 8.6 (due to some incompatibilities with 7, and applications I wanted to use) Anyway, I have my router set up WEP encryption, and I have the password set in my Win 7 machine, Powerbook G3 with 10.4.11, they all work great. But on my Powerbook 5300 I...

Hi folks, Lately I was thinking about upgrading my Powerbook's RAM. Since the RAM in old 68k and PPC powerbooks is proprietary, and finding a "chiped up" RAM module is hard, it got me thinking. I study electrotechnics in University and I got good soldering equipment which could get the job...

Is it possible to run Orinoco Gold on System 7? I found the link for the drivers, I got to try them if they work on Mac Os 7.5.3 http://www.alksoft.com/personal/stuff.html What is the best browser on these systems?

Hi, Erase me if this is illegal but Im looking for a system cd (or just a system folder) for my old Powerbook 5300. It would be best if it was Czech, but that is hard to get, just a working 8.6 would be nice. I have some 8.6, 8.5 install CDs but they are all broken, at some point in...

Thanks bunsen for reply. I finaly figured it out. The two slot card reader does work, probably only for one card, I havent tried two. As the mac disk controller cant mount two disks as far as I know. The key to have it working is to format the drive, Mac Os standard for System 7 and Mac Os...

Also I cant connect to disk using my old B&W G3, through SCSI target mode.

Hello, Mac Liberators! Im running into a lot of problems trying to boot my Powerbook 5300cs from a CF card. I tried PCMCIA adapter and a CF->IDE adapter. Three different kards (Kodak 256MB, SanDisk 1GB, and some 4GB card from my DSLR) None boot with the adapters I have...

Thanks for reply. Actualy I tried to replace the drive, but with the CF card holder. If I get myself a 2,5 dirve I will try that. But it seems that maybe some SCSI chip is probably dead or not working properly in the notebook itself, so it cant comunicate with my B&W. Any other thougths?
