galgot's "new" stuff
well, it looks way easier than recapping a 145 display. I think it is doable.
It doesn't look that bad now, I've seen much worse. But if you don't act now you may end up with a lot of broken traces and lifted pads.

Hi !
Today got a sh…load of old network crap
Bought the lot mainly for this :
Was looking for one
Lets hope it works… will be able to test it only next week.
This is the all lot :
1 Asanté EN/SC-10T with power brick,
1 old router with power brick,
3 appletalk cables with relay plugs,
1 Powerbook modem,
4 appletalk doublers (?),
1 SCSI -> HDI30 ,
1 SCSI -> Cen50,
1 appletalk Y relay (?),
2 stuff-I-don't-know-what-is, some appletalk to phone line me think...
and
Good week-end.

Bought this funny useless gadget for the Ti :
TurboNet adapters are nice. They have LEDs so you can see AppleTalk traffic... which is always.
Thanks, now that you tell me... Didn't noticed these red LEDs inside that thingy before
Thanks to Bibilit for pointing that one ( the screen was good after all Louis ).
Another PB180c, for 10 €. Cheap ones are getting rarer around here…
After testing that earlier one with a bad screen (working 10 - 15 mn only) , I wanted one to swap screen , or anyway a working 180c cause these small color screens are niiiiiice .
Was sold as non-booting at all. Turned out to be a dead power brick. Managed to boot it on the HD after a few tries , but still that HD is troublesome. But anyway the screen looks good so far.
And also got a 1To firewire ext HD for my home file server MacMini.
Was sold as a Iomega MiniMax, but in fact wasn't. It's made by a Japanese firm called Princeton :

Funny thing, mine doesn't have any logo or brand marks, just a sr. number. And a 1 To drive, witch is not listed in the Princeton options list...

That external drive enclosure also looks like a Newer Technology one too. Unfortunately I don't have the model number handy.
Congrats about the 180 looks good
So, I'm trying to stop buying Powerbooks … trying. But I keep buying accessories.
here's what I got yesterday, complete in box :
It's handy, and goes well in the collection, a VST zip250 PB G3 drive, VST zip100 PB G3, VST zip100 PB 1400, and that last VST zip100 PB 190/5300/3400c/Kanga.

Got some more stuff :
A 5300c , non working, battery leaked all over inside, but the screen as now replaced the passive on my 5300cs, works fine. Plus it had a 24 Ram card :
A 5300, non working… when I plug it ,it makes strange "Plok-plok-plok" noises… :
A funny pc card box going into the floppy drive bay, think it fits in the 3400c too :
A bunch of pc cards, ethernet adapter, modem and usb adapter. The Dayna Eth-adapter works fine, was able to find the drivers on on of the 5300 disk. The USB-Adapter, I've yet to find a driver for it, or does it really need one ? :
5300s documentation :
And a carrying bag with the Apple :
Was that bag made by Apple ? There is no brand mark except that Apple logo. I already had one similar bag that came with a PB170. They are well made and sized, fit exactly the size of PB1XX to 5300/190 series.

And, i usually don't collect softwares but here I couldn't resist, moreover it was cheap :
Two complete Rhapsody system boxes. One is OS X Server 1.0 - Rhapsody 5.3 , and the other 1.2 - Rhapsody 5.6 .

Nice. I always like getting boxed software 
great, cheap ?
For 5300s and stuff, so so... The things where cheap ( 20 € ), but ended up paying too much postage ( 25€ ) .
30€ for the two Rhapsody boxes.

Won't work with the 5300, probably with a 3400 or newer laptop (the Wallstreet for instance)
The small box for PCMCIA cards was sold with the 5300 when new, and works as a weight saver when removing the battery.
yeah I know 5300 don't take Cardbus (cards with the yellow stripe). Wallstreets doesn't either. tried that one on a Wallstreet, it didn't work.
Suppose it won't work on a 3400… Have yet to try on a Lombard or Pismo.

Wallstreet should absolutely take CardBus.
Well… not mines If we agree these card with yellow stripes are Cardbus, like the ones here :
http://www.bixnet.com/pccaandex.html
That USB-adapter doesn't work on my Wallstreet or PDQ, and I have a Wifi adapter like that with the yellow strip, doesn't work either.
But maybe i'm mistaken...

Well well… after a hiatus of few month finally got another.
Was cheap (23 €) and it was missing in my collection :
300Mhz , 160 Mb of ram and a 3Gb hd. Boots fine on a 10.2.8, will try Rhapsody on it maybe.
Only problems are , no battery, trackpad seem to be dead,
and most important ! Missing Apple on the lid :-/
If anyone have a spare, I'm interested.

I actually might, but I'm in the US. I don't know how to remove the apple, so I'd have to send you the whole top lid part, but it's light enough that shipping *shouldn't* be a problem.
Let me know via PM if interested.

Trackpad is probably unpluged If they tried to pull the hard drive, pulling up the panel usually disconnects it and is hard to see.
thanks, will check that. Wanted to change the hd anyway.
Good Job,
Batteries are almost always flat anyway, btw only the battery is missing or the battery cover as well ?

The Clam has a problem with those Apple inserts, i have got a few and apart one, all of them have a missing part (most of them only the leaf is missing)
A bit tricky, most of the laptop should be put to pieces.
Changing the HD is somewhat involved, but it's fairly straight forward once you get some practice.

i agree, the first one is not easy, but once the first has been done, the following ones are straight forward.
