| Powerbook 3400 and USB | |
| Posted by: bibilit on 2017-02-18 10:52:35 I have been given a 3400 a couple of months ago, repaired and so far is working great. I have also been given a Macally USB card this afternoon, the USB 1.4.1 installer doesn't work but i have been told that you can simply copy the rights extensions, anyone have those somewhere ? | |
| Posted by: TheWhiteFalcon on 2017-02-18 11:45:07 The extensions for USB support in 9.1 are supposed to work with USB cards on the 3400. | |
| Posted by: galgot on 2017-02-19 03:02:46 Actually , you can get the driver from here : https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/3558/apple-usb-adapter-card-support For 8.6 to 9.2.2. Works on a Wallstreet , but I've yet to try on a 3400c/Kanga... Bought a Chinese clone of that card from Hong kong, some time ago : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/2-port-PCMCIA-USB-2-0-surmonter-pas-parent-p824-/332083574327?hash=item4d51b93637 Works on these too. Oups... pardon, missed you already tried the 1.4.1 on your 3400c... | |
| Posted by: galgot on 2017-02-19 03:52:11 Edit: Just tried with the 9.2.2 usb extensions on a Kanga running 9.0.2. it works 🙂 But I had to do a bit of "plastic removing" on my clone card. Like so :  image from : https://www.journaldulapin.com/2015/09/24/a-faire-3400c-cardbus/ | |
| Posted by: bibilit on 2017-02-19 07:38:12 The card just mount to the desktop with the right USB logo on it, but the USB support 1.4.1 installer just says not suported on this computer.... I have seen somewhere that an installer was hacked to work for all models... Galgot, can you have a look at the extensions and make a copy for me ? can probably have a try at manually copying those to the 3400.. | |
| Posted by: galgot on 2017-02-19 10:05:02 Here : USB_drivers-MacOS-9.2.2.sit I took these on my Lombard's 9.2.2, and put it in a Kanga running 9.0.4. Edit : Strange... Just tried these on a 3400c/240 running 9.1 Fr (the USB extensions are not there on this one...). It doesn't even sees the card ! Going to check for the same extensions from a 9.1 Fr install... Re-Edit : Sorry these work well too on the 3400c/240 running 9.1 Fr. Just had to reboot twice... now loaded, and Usb mouse working. | |
