1 Hardware / Wireless Networking a Powerbook 1400CS/166
February 08, 2026, 10:04
I am having problems getting wifi to work on my Powerbook 1400cs with a Orinoco Gold wifi card I have as far as I know the correct drivers. I have Mac OS 7.6.1 the card does not show up to select in the TCPIP control panel. I have been following this turorial https://penmachine.com/techie/airport1400.html but aren't having any look getting it to work.
The card shows up on the desktop okay.

any help getting this to work greatly appreciated.

Christopher.

some of my favorite authors are Robert Jordan "Wheel of Time" series
and David Eddings the "Belgariad and Malloreon" series, as well as all of Tolkien's works. I also like Clive Cussler adventure series and Lee Child "Jack Reacher" series. Also worth a mention is Ursula Le Guin "Tales from Earthsea" series. I have also read Terry Brooks Shannara series.

I have followed the Demo scene for years,I especially like the PC demos that are as small as 64K one of my favorite group are Farbrausch, they did a demo called Fr-08 "The Product" compressed down to 64K, The Commodore 64 was also a popular PC for the Demo scene.

@ cballero
I don't think the ftp links work, please correct me if I'm wrong
but you can find Netscape Navigator from Version 2 to 4.8 for Macs at Winworld

Got it all working now with the new 500GB SSD. I just reinstalled it from the USB installer and it kept everything fine but now it boots okay.

You may or may not have heard of OpenCore Legacy patcher. Well its another way of extending the use of old macs all be it a bit more modern than what runs system 7. I have a MacBook Pro (late 2008) with 8GB of ram and now I am running Monterey on it and it runs buttery smooth, I have not come across any problems at the moment, The only thing I have a problem with is trying to clone the disk  as I have a 250GB SSD and was going to upgrade to 500GB SSD. The disk clones okay with Carbon Copy but but it won't boot correctly from the cloned disk. I need to figure it out
but I could just start from scratch with a fresh install on the 500GB SSD.

Has anybody else used this patcher if so what are your experiences with it.

Tried this on my iBook G4 Mac OS X tiger using MT-NewsWatcher 3.4
I signed up to news.eternal-september.org and everything is working perfectly. I could use my own ISP news server as they are still running one. I am with PlusNet.
