Here we go. According to my notes, I have a PM9100/120 S/N XB51800V4US, a WGS9150/120 and a WGS9150/80 S/N XC44405V36R in the attic. I kind of wonder if the first two listings …
UPDATE:
Today I solved the problem with my Mac IIci. It is fully-functional off of Built-In ROM. Address Line 16 was damaged UNDERNEATH the battery holder. A battery had explode…
I have an 80MHz version. It was crashing at random intervals, but I applied some new thermal paste to its 601 and now runs like a champ. I also put a PDS AV card in it, which reall…

I just scored the first Mac I ever used! My best friends Quadra 605, that he received for Christmas 1993. Neither he or I have seen or used the computer in over 12 years. Long stor…
Thanks! Definitely a lot of good memories associated with this computer. It was a year before I was able to get a computer of my own, so I was at my friends just about every day! …
Congratulations!

I'm about 95% positive that they are the same. I believe that when I replaced the screen in my iBook G4 a couple years ago, the replacement came from a G3.
hell even early G3s have trouble decoding DVDs.

Yup. Classic Dove MacSnap (most likely). Requires 800K disk upgrade and 128K ROMs.

Something like this would work. 8" VGA LCD panel. I thought about buying one of these, but I haven't drummed up the courage.

That would indeed work. The pr…
I'll respond because you called out *all* PB 165c owners.
The screen is usable. I've worked on it quite a bit. Unfortunately, it's the only color passive matrix screen I own (o…
What are your opinions on the screen of the PowerBook 165c? Is it the worst of the worst of passive matrix or is it one of the better ones? Better or worse than 1400cs?

Not likely unless you know that for sure. When you took your 128K into an authorized Apple service center, they …
Now that you have it, I'd keep it and have the caps done. Every SE/30 needs to have it done sooner or later and it'll probably be better to do it now than later. If the seller offe…
