Well, if things turn out as planned, I will have a Powerbook 1400c (166mHz 64 RAM) and a Lucent WaveLAN silver.

How about a PowerBook G3? That way, you'll be able to use a newer OS and printer with it. I have often run into a few issues with older systems and hardware/ software compatibility…
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
That crashing sound you hear is the sound of Windows breaking.
No, I didn't throw my ThinkPad through one. Microsoft Windows ju…
Batteries are going to be an issue since only brand new ones (on wallstreet G3s anyway) do 3 hours and used ones that still work will likely get you an hour or so.
You can use 2 b…

I just need something that I can use at school, without worrying about it getting damaged or anything like that. I was thinking along the lines of a 3400C, or even a PowerBook G3. …
All of Trash80toG4's threads on the subject were lost in the Great Crash. I just hope that one day he googlestalks himself and winds up back here, with all of his notes intact.

You are right, it isn't 2/3. I think it is 4/5AA, which you can get fairly readily. Check the measurement of the cells listed here against the originals when you open up the batter…

I tried re-celling mine with AA-sized, tabbed NiMh cells but could not make them fit. The OEM cells were smaller (2/3 AA, I believe you call them), and after a struggle, I located …

Paging Trash80toG4 ... where is that guy??

Wasn't he working on a G3 upgrade for the 2300?

Well, he was researching it at least, readi…
Well then, that's not good. With any luck, it may just be a bad PMU; they were replaceable on those models, unlike the DVIs and later.
Or it could be a random logic board failure.…

beachycove, I'm thinking of recelling the battery in mine too. I've got 48mb of RAM and a 1GB CF, and the machine works perfectly. Such a shame that I can't take it with with me …

Paging Trash80toG4 ... where is that guy?? A Duo that becomes a G3 when docked would be right up his alley, let alone mine. }

Can I put a NuBus processor upgrade in my Dock II for use with my 2300c? / into the Cache/PDS slot

This is likely an easy fault to fix.
Simply remove the bottom case, move the DVDROM drive, and disconnect the PRAM battery (3-wire connector) from the PMU. Reassemble, and the mac…

if you need parts, I happen to have a TiBook VGA bottom that I can let go for $50 w/ shipping in the USA. All it's missing is the screen and HDD, but if you want, I can ship it ou…
If it's always on "I'm charging!" amber, then it sounds like something might be really wonky with the PMU. Do you have another TiBook that you can try the battery and/or power cord…
