Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / June 2005Powerbook 160 to internet
Could someone point me to the direction (right?/left?) as to how I could connect to the internet with my Powerbook 160? It works pretty well, and it seems that at its prime someone was using Compuserve to go online. I have access to bellsouth and att dialup. Someone told me once that I had to get an old version of either IE or Netscape (I can't remember which) and another couple of programs to do the trick. There is a program in the powerbook that I can use to connect to a BBS type connection, but I can't find a local BBS to test it with. I would very much appreciate your advise. Thank you. I put an old 512ke Mac on the internet using software from this site: http://www.jagshouse.com/68000apps.html > Could someone point me to the direction (right?/left?) as to how I > could connect to the internet with my Powerbook 160?

Your first problem is a lack of an Ethernet port leaving you with dial-up or trying to find an Asante SCSI to Enet adapter (probably hard to find now). Netscape up to 4.04 will work, 4.08 requires the CFM-68k extension & I have had trouble with that. Personally, I would run iCab 2.9.8. Doesn't do CSS very well but is about as good as they get for 68k Macs. Some V4 IE may work, but I have never used Exploder so I can't tell. I assume you run System 7.5 in which case you'll want to make sure you use MacTCP 2.06. OT will run but give you little benefit & you'll be memory starved anyway (You did max out to 14 MB, right?). For email, I used to use Eudora 3.13. Uli > Could someone point me to the direction (right?/left?) as to how I > could connect to the internet with my Powerbook 160?

There's an old version of Netscape (1.X) that has a built-in newsreader. I thought it was one of the best Netscape versions ever released. You can probably get it at Jagshouse. There is also an old version of Eudora that will work.

Do I look for a Mac with access to the internet with a floppy and then copy stuff over or what? * techie <asotelo@techie.com>, 2005-06-22 20:17 +0200: > Now for the $64,000 question: How do I get these programs into my PB? > Do I look for a Mac with access to the internet with a floppy and then > copy stuff over or what?
