Powerbook 1400 Parts + Take It Apart Guide — #3

You'll pay through the nose at Wegener. No offense to them - it's the same at most of the retails webstores for old parts. Best to post a want ad in the Trading Post here.

640CD: How to install DOS? — #7

Is the HDD on the sled? If it is, try putting it in without the sled. It might be an odd-dimensions hard drive, therefore it sticks out a bit. Not every HDD was made to fit into…

Powerbook 1400 Browsing Speed — #5

Classic - Do you have a link for downloading the WannaBe browser? I'd like to give that a try if it would keep other content from trying to load... I wanted to try it with the 1400…

Nice newer PPC finds! — #8

If the G4 is a dual CPU machine then yes, you got a good deal. I dislike iMacs so my view is that you wasted money on it.

I got one of these for my 7300 back in the day. They really do make a difference and they did indeed cost a fortune when they were new. For $5 it's a great deal - and a cool colle…

Nice newer PPC finds! — #7

Turns out that the iMac G5 is 1.8GHz/1GB RAM/160GB HD/CD-RW with a 128MB Radeon 9600 graphics card and Leopard Server. The G4 was 933MHz/512MB/60GB/Combo Drive So sadly these are…

Powerbook 1400 Browsing Speed — #2

My browser preference is obvious but WannaBe works very well on the 1400 as a text browser. Really, though, my 1400 got much more useful when I put a G3 and RAM Doubler on it. …

Nice newer PPC finds! — #6

The iMac sounds good, but I reckon that you should offer less for the 933Mhz G4 (Quicksilver?). A dualie G4 is still good for "everyday" use but a single G4 933Mhz won't cut it, o…

The dual G4 sounds like a great deal if it works and is complete. I am waiting for G4's to be about worthless and then snag one or two for the collection (os 9.x native booting mod…

Crazy day for yard-sale conquests — #10

Very nice. I am a little surprised that 10.3.9 fit with some extra space on a 3GB HD. I find anything with OS X needs at a minimum a 10GB to be fully functional.
