@Trash80toHP_Mini pretty flush i'd say. It's interesting, the card had the exact same behavior in my 1400c -Boot with card in, goes to gray screen -Insert card with computer running, freezes mouse. I do have the CF and CF/PCMCIA adaptor on the way; so if this refuses to work that is my Plan B.

All it does is freeze my mouse in place until i eject it. Any thoughts/ideas/tips for getting this to show as a disk?  @Trash80toHP_Mini mentioned to ask in the thread. 

Okay working on getting this up and running today...going to format the card to Fat32; load a few .Sit files on and pray it works when i load it into the PCMCIA slot. For now just looking for a way to get data to this machine (other than burning files to a CD)  This it matters that it's...

Thanks!  I figured....messaging him now, what a let down.  Oh well..at least the 24MB ram module was in there, and i needed the CD-Rom drive. Yeah i was looking at that magical key sequence on LEM and it took me a while to figure out it was wrong after googling around..thanks.  Cmd makes more...

Previous owner claims the card is installed. Second opinion anyone based on the above picture? That PCB doesn't look like the same footprint as the ViewPower card to me...

Thanks; looking forward to it!  The password is "OK" looks like im all set. Is that the Viewpower card in the above picture?  I think not....i'm thinking he forgot to include it.  Reached out about that....

Have a copy of disk tools for my 3400 on floppy; going to give that a whirl and see what happens.  Nope "This startup disk will not work on this Macinthos model.  Use the latest Installer to update this disk for this model."  I have another copy of Disk Tools for 7.6 on floppy going to try that...

How do i do that again? 

So i got my other 1400 in today and it does have the ViewPower card and extra ram; which is nice. Unfortunately; it boots to "At Ease" some kid friendly OS mac used to offer.   I used this guide to try to get rid of it: https://lowendmac.com/macdan/010319mm.html Unfortunately it's password...

Got another Powerbook 3400c, this one has the 240Mhz processor and a 64MB ram upgrade!   https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-PowerBook-3400C-PowerPC-603ev-240-MHz-64mb-256k-tested-working/124559434484?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Now have a spare 1400c...

Done.  And good timing too as it's just starting to melt...thanks. Nothing made it to the motherboard.  Wiped it down and saved it; going to have a buddy who's an electrical engineer see if he can re-build a cell for me.   Wasn't too hard to get too; the ribbon cables make me a tad nervous of...

Is there a way to test your battery life in 8.6?  And PRAM battery?  Both appear to be in working order in this machine but i can't imagine how..

Got my 1400c printing!  Had to do the same thing i did with the 3400; adjust the appletalk port in control center, extensions, etc.  Nice to have it working.   

Got it working....don't ask me how.  Disabled AppleTalk and restarted, selected the printer in chooser and selected the Printer/Modem port (which i had done 10 times already.) I think what finally did it is I had to disable the "File Sharing Extension" in extensions which was mentioned when...

Sweet; updating to OS 8.6 now off the disc. And done!  Probably will stay here until RAM is maxed out; or maybe just for good.  The Imagewriter II ALSO won't work with this 3400 (like it wouldn't with my 1400)  exact same error (skips to page two, tells me to hit select even though its...

Quick Q:  I can't get this machine to boot from the CD; attempting to install 8.6.  Held C on restart, , CMD+Option+Shift+Delete, no luck, selected the 8.6 disc as the startup disk, no luck.    I tried zapping the PRAM, resetting the PMU, Disabling extensions.    Can i just install right from...

Cool and very good to know; thank you!  What capabilities does this card add over the stock port?  Better resolution on a bigger monitor?  My initial find on CL is a "C" model; i got this "CS" on ebay for the CD-Rom Drive, RAM card, Video Card, and accessories/parts.  Okay i will absolutely...

Sadly it looks like this machine will only take one additional RAM module, so i need to keep my eyes out now for a 128MB module specifically for the 3400. 

Well i've been wanting one of these FOREVER.... Ever since i saw Meg Ryan using one in You've Got Mail ;)  This is the 200 MHZ machine with 48 MB RAM currently running 8.0.  Since they are the last Pre-G3 PB they usually are too pricey for me; but i made an offer for this one at $150 and it...

I won another Powerbook 1400c on ebay for my $100 offered. This one comes with -24MB Ram Expansion -CD-Rom and Floppy Drive -Video Card and Cable -Batteries, Power Cable,  OS9 Discs, Various Flotsam and Jetsam Between these two machines i should have a pretty sweet 1400c in the making! ...
