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…

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…

I agree that NUM 3.2.x was excellent (and still is) for what it can do with 030-processor Macs, and 040 Macs running no higher than 7.6.1. Received wisdom at one time was that NUM…

I think because on Windows it installs all this weird stuff and does all this other crap you don't really need. I just simply booted off the ZIP disk and ran Disk Doctor and it was…

I haven't used it on Macs in years, but on PCs at least, it is a very, very, very, very, very bad, bad, bad, bad, bad thing. NUM 3.x used to be good back in the days of System 7...…

Norton is bad? It rescued my 7200 the other day. (I have Norton 6 on a ZIP Disk). It was booting to this Error 41 or 47 or something, and then when I booted off the ZIP Disk the h…

Nice haul, I still need a 9.1 cd for my legit OS collection. I think you can only upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5, 8.1 is a dead end. Click to expand... Yep, you're right. For OS 8.5 u…

Super Awesome!

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…

Fantastic ;D

Excellent, it's always great when you get good things for next to nothing!

Nice haul, I still need a 9.1 cd for my legit OS collection. I think you can only upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5, 8.1 is a dead end.

nice one on the OS 8.6 cd! i hate having to upgrade my way frm 8.1 to 8.6 everytime i want to install 8.6.

I went to the Goodwill Clearance Center today. This is where they take all the stuff that doesn't sell elsewhere. They put it all in bins, and put the bins out on tables. When the …
