How to connect Powerbook 1400 to macbook with Gigabit ethernet

I have a wonderful Powerbook 1400, system 8.6, no cd drive only floppies 2 PCMCIA card slots (which may be both not working, a SCSI HDI-30 ethernet slot.
How can I recover the date on this computer, as i just realised after buying a new Macbook dual core that it has a Gigbit ethernet which is a different slot.
Can anyone help?
thanks, Maria

Maria,
I also still have my 1400; it's in beautiful shape but I never use it anymore.
Since the 1400 did not come with Ethernet or modem, you had to add them via a PCMCIA PC card or install internally an Ethernet card (no internal modem card). I believe there is also a SCSI > Ethernet adapter but this is all more work than necessary. None of the ports on the 1400 are compatible with the MacBook.
I think by far the easiest method for retrieving data is to buy a PC Card Adapter (this fits into the PCMCIA card slot) for $10, then buy a small flash memory card. After you put the memory card in the PC Card Adapter and the Adapter into the card slot, the flash memory card mounts on the desktop as just another "HD" and you drag-copy the files to the "HD". There is no software to install.

However, you will also need a USB card reader for the MacBook. Possibly you know someone with a card reader and they could burn a CD for you.
You could also use your 1400's floppy drive to copy data, then buy a USB floppy drive for your MacBook, but if you have a lot of files, this is cumbersome.
You can buy a used Ethernet PC card but you require the correct Ethernet software plus it may be difficult to get file sharing working with the MacBook, not because your MacBook has Gigabit, but OS 8.6 and Tiger have a difficult time talking to each other.

  • Connecting Z-5500 to MacBook with Optical Cable?

    How's it going, first post here just need one question answered. I just got Logitech's Z-5500 for Christmas, and everything is set-up working great with just using the headphone jack. All speakers are working when in Stereo (x2) mode, but I would like to connect the system to my Macbook using the an optical cable since you get a cleaner, better quality of sound.
    I don't know anything about optical cables or how to connect it to my Macbook. I know the optical side of the cord goes in the back of the control panel for the Z-5500's but where does the other side go into the Macbook? Do I just need one cable? Any detailed help with links will help. Thanks a lot.

  • How to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with air play

    Hi...how to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with AirPlay

    Hi. Your Apple TV should be connected to the TV (I'm using HDMI cables) and connected to the internet via a wireless or ethernet connection.
    The best way to test AirPlay is to play a movie trailer from the iTunes store. When you play a trailer you will see the AirPlay symbol at the bottom of the screen. Click on it and it will show your AirPlay devices - in your case the Apple TV. Select it an your video and sound will come out of your TV.
    I hope this helps. Google the AirPlay symbol. I tried to paste it into this message with no success.

    It isn't what you believe that you need in the Mac so much as what its ROM tells the 1400 that it should have. Its software is integrated with what the Mac 'thinks' of itself as being, whether you use video mirroring, HDD spindown, persistent RAM Disk or any other feature that applies to PBs rather than to DTs. Why handicap the machine by omitting parts of its persona? It will be less stable, be given to unpredictable episodes of petit mal, and be downright unreliable as a result, especially if it also lacks the physical parts of its person that you mention. That is why it needs a System for its kind of PowerBook.
    Grant has outlined the best method of getting a handle on the PB, which will be much aided by its having a working HDD, a functional trackpad and so on.

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

    So you agree to the lose of the Airport Express removal has caused me to lose enough of a signal to make the Internet...
    Sorry but I'm not sure what this long run-on sentence is trying to say.
    You asked if the network could be wirelessly extended and that is what I replied to.

  • Airport Extreme has been updated with Gigabit ethernet - so soon!!!

    I just bought a brand new state of the art AE two months ago and then Apple just updates it with Gigabit ethernet so soon after?! I feel cheated in every way!

    If you want to measure speeds - actually the Kona disk utility is a pretty decent free tool you can use - it's typically used for testing disk for media encoding/decoding, but it's got a nice graph you can look at to see what the drive performance looks like over time.
    To make sure you're running as fast as possible - try connecting the disk directly (assuming you're using a USB-2 bus and a USB-2 hub) and transferring files, then compare that to what you're getting across the AEBS .. also try eliminating the hub - I've found many hubs that are "rated" as USB-2, but don't run very close to rate. With the older AEBS you should get 100Mbps wired and 130Mbps with 802.11n .. best case is you're running about 25% of what the USB-2 bus is capable of.
    oh, and you can verify your connection speed with Network Utilities -- look at the Info tab for each of your interfaces to see your negotiated rates

  • Connecting powerbook to a macbook to display on both screens

    I would like to display an iphoto slideshow on two screens. My slideshow is on a G4 15" powerbook and I would like to be able to display it on that screen and a macbook at the same time. How do I connect the two together and output to both screens from the powerbook?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi, Michael. It would be simplest just to install and run the slide show on both machines, independently and simultaneously. Neither a Powerbook nor a MacBook is designed to be used as a second display for another computer. That said, it is possible, using a VNC client, to set one machine up so it displays what is running on another Mac. But I'll be darned if I can find instructions for doing so using any search terms I've thought of so far.

  • How do connect my late 2008 Macbook to a TV?

    I want to connect my late 2008 Macbook aluminum to a tv by HDMI, and i was thinking about getting the "Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support" but it will not support audio for my Mac. Any other way I can connect it to the TV?

    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. But check your TV manual to see if it has audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports.
    With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.
