It was probably originally made for an early Mac. The floppy port was the only way to connect a hard drive pre- SCSI.

Nice. Is it a 117mhz or 133mhz? Click to expand... I thought it said 117mhz, but I'd have to check to be sure. Since I already have a couple SCSI Zip drives laying around, I'…

actually I made a mistake, the harddrive does not connect to the SCSI port, it connects to the floppy port!! Just like an HD SC20. I thought nobody else had made floppy drive hard…

OS 9.1 is possible, but takes some hoodwinking of the NuBus architecture, Click to expand... What do you mean? I installed 9.1 on my 1400, and it just installed, no problems at…

With no floppy drive or Ethernet port to speak of (at least as far as I can tell), and that strange (25-pin?) SCSI port, I'm sorta stuck at the moment. Click to expand... get y…

yep... teh onboard on the 6100 goes up to 832 x 624 @ 256 colors. dooes it has any extras like a dos card or HV card?

Nah, the onboard can handle more than that

The 1400s are fine machines, especially if they are the later 'extended' models. Max. notional RAM is 64MB, which is a kindness to them, and allows the most compatible OS, 8.6, to…

i have one and i love it!!!only problem is tht the screen is broken

Probably the easiest way to transfer applications would be a serial cable between 2 Macs. Will be really slow though :-\

Nice. Is it a 117mhz or 133mhz?

Nice find, the PowerBook 1400s are great machines to mess about with. One of the best upgrades I can recommend is RAM - I upped mine from 16MB to 40MB with a 24MB expansion card an…

They wanted $20 for it, but since they couldn't show me that it really worked, I offered $15. The machine itself had decent wear and tear, but still looked pretty good. Since the…

Hi, I've just acquired a mac plus (nothing strange there) with an extremely strange external hardrive. It's a paradise scsi 20 mb external hardrive. It has two connectors, a SCSI…

Daystar have a G4 for Lombards, but it's $299. Yeowch Click to expand... ... hmmm... $55 rebate if you send your CPU and heatsink back to them afterwards $100 rebate if you …

Is the Radius display any good? Click to expand... It's a good sharp display. It only seems to go to 640x480 but that may have just been the 6100's poor onboard video.

MacDan says they'll take any standard laptop optical drive [] ]'> Click to expand... And he is very much-so correct, provided that you're running OS X. (or OS 9 if you…

Man I would LOVE to have an iBook G3 Clamshell. I really love the design. Too bad that I can't find any of them except on powerbookguy.com and it does not look too good for being i…

$50 for a 512MB SDRAM SoDIMM is pretty good; I just forked out $60 for 2 x 512MB for my PB Ti, "fastmemoryman" is cheaper but appears to have heaps of negative feedback. I only th…

Is the Radius display any good?

Picked this set up today for $10. http://houston.craigslist.org/sys/438997483.html Also got a box of cables and stuff.

Ah, I see that you've answered my question here cj. Click to expand... No, I answered it elsewhere (sorry, slow day at work)

Damn! Sorry Bunsen, I wish I'd seen this thread earlier as I have a spare 400MHz Lombard logic board w/DVD decoder that you could have had for next to nothing...
