Emate 300 Connect to Powerbook G4

Hello.
Little relic from the past here. I recently, dug up my emate 300 to find it as stunning and innovative as when I first got it in 98.
I would like to connect it to my powerbook G4. Unfortunatly, the emate only works through serial port connections prior to the USB days.
Now I do have a 56k PCMCIA modem card for the device. Can I dial into my laptop from the emate using the modem?
Is there any other way I can connect?

If the emate will do LocalTalk/AppleTalk, you can use a LocalTalk-to-Ethernet converter box. The AsanteTalk is still being sold, and both it and the Farallon Etherprint LT are available used.
These boxes were sold to allow LocalTalk devices (mainly printers) to be used on a network that has only Ethernet. They also work with up to 8 older Macs to share files and print, but will not allow you to get internet access on the older Macs.

    That won't work with the iPad, unless maybe there's a "control monitor" app somewhere.

  • Connect my powerbook with a Windows computer/network

    Hello!
    I must to connect my Powerbook G3 with a windows computer or network. Ho can I do?
    Thank you very much,

    If your PowerBook has Mac OS 9.1, you can't do it without additional (non-Apple) software. While Mac OS X has built-in Windows networking, Mac OS 9 does not.
    This product allows Windows networking under Mac OS 9.

  • Connecting 2 Powerbooks

    Can anyone give me a step-by-step procedure for connecting 2 Powerbooks to each other by Ethernet cable? I assume it has something to do with setting the Network System Preferences but I find it a little confusing.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    both Powerbooks have to be setup within the same ip address range, for example you can set up one as 10.0.0.10 and the other as 10.0.0.11 . Both need the proper subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
    If Personal File Sharing is activated, you can mount each others hard disc. You don't need Ethernet for this, you can also use a Firewire network connection (400 Mbit isntead of 100 MBit with Ethernet) or as mentioned int he other answer, you can boot up one powerbook in target disc mode (press T after turning it on, just before or when the chime comes and wait).

  • Problems connecting my Powerbook G4 to a D-Link DI 624 access point

    I am unable to connect my Powerbook G4 to my D-Link DI 624 wireless router.
    Here's my setup:
    128 bit (HEX) WEP Encryption (Key Index 4)
    MAC Filtering
    "Static" DHCP
    Here's what i've done:
    Added the Powerbook's on board ethernet and wireless MAC's to the MAC Filter's table
    Assigned both adapters a static IP
    Configured both to look at my router's IP
    Copied the HEX key (verbatim) while configuring the wireless adapter
    Here's the skinny... The onboard NIC works. The wireless does not.
    Please tell me what i'm doing wrong. I know it's my router's configuration because I successfully connected to a friends router without any problmes.
    They are using a Linksys with DHCP and encryption.
    I tried changing my setting on my router to resemble my firends to no avail. I resorted in restoring my router's config from backup.
    I'm a PC Tech/ Network Engineer who is treading in new territory with my G4. So far i'm wondering what in the **** took me so long to convert! However, i'm glad that I did.
    IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND HAVE ANY INSIGHT ON MY SITUATION, PLEASE HELP!!!

    You certinly have me mystified. I have a D-Link DL624 wireless router. I plugged my dsl modem into it, plugged it in to the wall, opened the lid of my powerbook, and it connected. I just thought it was supposed to be that easy!
    Sorry I wasn't much help

  • Connecting my Powerbook to my iMac for internet sharing via airport

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    I have given up trying to get an answer to my Airport problem and NTL Virgin.
    I now have my iMac connected to web via ethernet all okay for a week now so it can't be my connection that was the problem.

    Any advice would be great thanks

  • EMate 300 Time and Date keeps Resetting

    I got an eMate 300 for Christmas 2013, and a problem I've come to notice is that when I set the time and date, and then tap the mini clock in the corner to re-open the clock, it's either corrupted, or it is reset to default. Is this the memory, or is it a bug? My documents have timestamps on them, and I don't want them to get scrambled up. Thank you in advance.

    Very few people have eMates anymore.   You might find the answer on http://www.lowendmac.com/
    or http://www.pda-soft.de/en/hardware/emate/disassembly/disassembly.html
    You might want to e-mail them to find out if a PRAM battery exists for it.

  • Connect the powerbook 15"-Display with a new G5 dual and a ACD?

    hi
    i wonder if i could connect the pb 15" display with a new G5 dual and turn the pb off, only the display on?
    that would be fun.
    i am working with a pb 15" and a ACD 20" with Photoshop mainly.
    the 15" is the palettes‘ server and the ACD is the main working screen where i retouch my pics.
    so if i buy a G5 dual now, i would have to buy a ACD30" for example to use one display for all the Photoshop Palettes and couldn use the pb 15" anymore?
    any other less awkward solutions i am not aware of maybe?
    thanks"

    I'm pretty sure that you can't use a PowerBook for it's display only. You already know, of course, that you can use the PowerBook, as a computer, with an external monitor, with or without the PB's own display running, but so far as I know you cannot use a PB solely for its display.
    So, if you bought a G5 dual now, and bought an ACD 30", you could use both your ACD's with your new G5 dual, the 20" and the 30" , but your PowerBook would have to watch the proceedings from the sidelines.

  • Remote Desktop Connection on PowerBook, not x86 iMac

    My office uses SBS2003 with VPN enabled.
    Without VPN, on my PowerBook & the intel-iMac, I can "Remote Desktop Connection" into the server, then subsequently into a workstation through the server.
    With the VPN connected, I can use RDC to connect directly to my workstation (say, unit01).
    With VPN connected, the iMac can't connect directly to the workstation, yet it can still go through the server to the workstation as usual.
    I'm suspecting this is an issue with Rosetta emulating Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection and not allowing the domain name to be recognized through the VPN.
    Both computers are using the exact same settings for the VPN and attempting to use RDC exactly the same.

    i've been using just the netbios name, simply because it works on my powerbook. I still don't understand why it wouldn't work on this intel-mac.
    I was mainly following this guide:

  • How do i connect my powerbook G3 to the internet?

    I recieved a Mac Powerbook G3 to take with me to iran to give to a less fortunate family but i have no idea how to connect to the internet (for updates and general usage) as the os is really old (10.2)
    can somebody please give me step by step instructions on how to connect to the internet, either via wifi or ethernet or dial up if thats the only option.
    Thanks

    It depends on which PowerBook G3 you have. The early ones had Ethernet and a 33.6K modem. The last one had fast Ethernet, a 56K modem, and an internal slot for an AirPort wifi card, which may be installed.
    I can't remember exactly how 10.2 worked, but in System Preferences there should be a Network pane where you can configure the Ethernet and wifi. In most cases you can just leave them at default set to DHCP and it will connect to any Internet coffee shop or library.
