| Formating SD card on PowerBook 1400c |
Posted by: Punkyclown on 2022-10-13 10:26:12
Hi All, bought an SD connector for my PowerBook 1400c, inserted 2 gig SD card. Computer only
recognizes 32 MB and then fails to initialize. I want to set this up as my Hard Drive I only have a
1 gig drive and need at least 2. So how do I go about formatting the SD card and getting the Mac
to recognize it. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,

What adapter are you using? Can you post a picture of it? |

Yes, and what sort of SD card? |

That's the same adapter I have used in two 1400s without any issue. It. should work fine. I assume that the HD was working fine in it before, so I will also assume that there is no hardware IDE issue, either. My guess would have to do with the SD card itself, as it is one of those micro-adapter deals.
How is it that you are trying to format the card? What are you using? Are you starting the machine from the system software CD or something? |

Same adapter I've used in my 3400. My guess would also be the microSD adapter/card, I've had bad luck with those adapters not quite working properly before. |

Hey, thanks so much, I notice the SD card holder I was using was empty! This was after I switched to a CF card and adapter,
which is now working fine.
Much appreciate the the help.

I put an CF-to-IDE adapter for Amigas in my 1400, used a CF-to-PCMCIA adapter kit for BMW cars from .
First time doing so, I only used IDE-to-mSata adapters in PBs so far, but these are not working properly, I guess its the then new IDE implementation that's too advanced with mSata for that old buddy.
The only downside so far is under OS 8 and 9 disk utility is not able to address/ repartition single partitions of the card, only sees the whole card.
First aid can control/ repair it though. |
