I posted a few weeks ago in the Conquests forum, but I think this post belongs here. This is my latest eBay find, a PowerBook 180. It is in perfect condition but sold as Parts Only…

Yeah, taking it apart doesn't seem too bad. I'm a ACMT, so i've got access to the service manual and its been very helpful. I will ask you this, I've gotten very close to gettin…

Assuming your drive needs a good clean, this is the best way to do it: 1) Remove floppy drive from the computer. 2) Remove the cover. 3) Use a can of compressed air, making sure…

Hmm... I managed to find a PAS 16 without the interface or cable for $5. Should I take it and pray that I can find the interface/cable? Or should I take one of the following? Sup…

This is a bad idea and a waste of time. Why would we want so many sub-forums? Simply leaving things in the Software forum is fine. There is no need to change how things are being…

A lot of what applies to System 6, 7, 8, or 9 also applies to each other. Additionally, the volume of posts is not that great. I don't think sub-forums are needed.

Any thoughts on the Sub-Forums, for each OS?
