Now ~that's~ rare! — #2
Yes, but I'm not sure it's $999.95 worth or rare. Since the auction ended with no bidders, I'm guessing most are in agreement. Perhaps a relative of one of our unmentionable US sel…

Manuals for a PISMO — #3
Backup (not just pram) batteries have several functions in a powerbook, so that it is unwise to rely on a powerbook without a functional backup battery. The Pismo in particular wil…

For once, the overused eBay buzzword "RARE!!!ZOMGLOLBBQ!!!1101!!" is totally justified. And the price, though high, has some level of realism, considering.

Manuals for a PISMO — #2
The PRAM battery in pismos is rechargeable. It recharges after the main battery is full. It should be possible to operate with a dead PRAM battery.
The long time necessary to ho…

Anyone know where one can find manuals.
I just picked up a PISMO and would like to have a user manual and/or a repair manual. It has a dead main battery and the pram has been dis…

I got my adapter today and popped the 80 GB drive into my G3. After a little playing around with the Silverlining software, I can access *ALL* of the files on my disk! Copying them…

That's interesting. There were no jumpers on the drive, were there? Sometimes drive manufacturers or resellers will ship drives with jumpers installed, as some computers need to ha…

thanks all for the great and quick input. I'm far from a techy, so I'm proceeding very slowly... here's summary what I've found:

Search for the "Lisa/Macintosh XL Do-it-yourself Guide" from Sun Remarketing. It is largely a reprint of Larry Pina's guide to basic Lisa repair.
Off the top of my head, I'd recom…

Memory is not the culprit if you only get two low beeps. I had a bad board (which I had to replace with a spare I bought on eBay) and it was a low beep (an E-flat) followed by two …

There are some people online that probably have experienced that exact problem with a Lisa 2 and could tell you exactly how to fix it. I would wait a while and see if you can find…

From what I've seen, older computers are most often plagued by capacitor problems - I'd check the caps first. If they're bad, search the forum for 'capacitor' and you'll get a good…

I have a Lisa 2 (XL I think). It booted-up and ran fine 5 years ago, but now, when I push the start button, I get two low beeps (memory?) and a screen that looks like a beehive and…

I have two in active use, one as my main server, the other as backup and test server.
Both run 10.4.9 Tiger Server on 1.1 GHz PPC750GX CPU's, 1 GB RAM and 4-port SATA cards. Next …

In OS X DP3 it was still possible to delete the Aqua theme file, the OS changed to Platinum if you did it.

Only a PC. I'm ordering one of those adapters that lets you plug a 2.5" laptop HD to a normal desktop IDE connection. Only $4, and I can just pop it into my G3.

Okay so I opened it up last night and took the hard drive out. Today, I slipped in the original Apple 40 gb drive, since I had upgraded to an 80 GB drive. Low and behold, that driv…
