Mac OS 7.6 on PowerBook 1400cs/166? — #5

If you can get both yes. I have a 2GB CF in a PCMCIA Adapter which I copied the System 7.6.1 on my 5300ce as a back up drive, and tried it on my 1400/133 & 166. They both …

The Ultimate List of Compact Mac Variations — #25

unity said: I could be wrong. I just have never seen a model like M0001EP or M0001AP, etc. I could put them into the list proper, but that would add a few lines for sure!  …

Mac OS 7.6 on PowerBook 1400cs/166? — #1

So, I am thinking of getting a PowerBook 1400cs/166 off eBay to run Mac OS 7.5/7.6 (I'll probably use 7.6 since it's better on PPC) really fast. But, everymac.com says that the 16…

Powerbook 5xx AC Adapter — #1

Given the pin out for the Powerbook 5xx series charger, could one be powered by an AC adapter that only has two wires, one live and one ground? My thinking is I could tie the groun…

three cables in a Macintosh XL — #13

The sticker on the case says A6S0300P  Thats why I call it a Macintosh XL. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Macintosh I find it complicated these names.....

three cables in a Macintosh XL — #12

The 220V-240V, 50Hz, .7A PS would be correct for Lisa's in Europe, it's nothing special.  Later Lisa 2/10 (XL) units with the widget drive used a 1.8A PS that was internally 120V-6…

three cables in a Macintosh XL — #8

The Apple part number may be different on the label, I don't know if it is or what is should be to indicate a 2/10. The normal differences that I look for to indicate a Lisa 2/10 …

three cables in a Macintosh XL — #6

1st of all you don't have a Macintosh XL (AKA a Lisa2/10), you have an original Lisa ( Lisa 1 or converted Lisa 2).  The two 26 pin ribbon cables are for the upper and lower twiggy…

PowerBook 190 strange behavior — #6

You're missing the Widget's power harness. That three pin power cable is for a Twiggy floppy drive and indicates that your Lisa did not start out originally as a Lisa 2/10 or an XL…
