There is an excellent US company doing PowerBook peripherals.
It is called MCE. I've bought from them before - great service.
Go the the website

to find what you are looking for.

Subject: Disappearing Launcher Icons in OS 9.0.4
I've had this problem for quite some time--the icons of applications that
function as control panels become generic document icons in the Launcher.
Anybody experiencing a similar problem?

There's no built-in support in MacOS for printing to a shared printer
on a Windows box. Or, if you prefer, there's no built-in support in
Windows for publishing shared printers for use by MacOS clients.
If this is a PostScript printer, Thursby's Dave will allow you to
print to it from your Mac.

Open a DOS box on the Windows machine and type "ipconfig". The IP
address of the windows box shall be revealed.

Subject: PCI card with USB to connect to printer, camera, card reader
I intend to buy a PCI card with (at least) 2 USB ports for my G3/266.
The card has to work with an Epson Stylus Photo 870 or 1270 printer
and with a Kodak DC290 Zoom digital camera (which has USB built-in)
and/or Delkin or Microtech card reader.
The local Mac store has the following listed (approximate prices in dollars):
HINP008 XLR8 Dual Port Usb Pci Card 67
HINP028 MacAlly Mcally Pci To Usb Adapter 49
HINP029 Highlight Pci card with 2 USB 36
HINP030 MacSense Pci Usb Adapter 68
HINP039 BELKIN - USB Usb 2 A Port Pci Bus Card 51
HINP078 ADS ADS PCI card 2 USB ports 44
I am mostly concerned with compatibility and quality. Does anybody
have any experience with the above cards? Will they work with the
printer, camera, card reader? Any recommendations for the above or
other cards?
Thanks very much,
Pieter
