I don't want to have her dealing with configuring SheepShaver, if you know what I mean. Click to expand... Okay, I'll buy that :lol:

Pull the HD, stick it in a PC and reformat. Viruses = gone. Unless it takes a SCSI HD. Lowendmac was not to clear on this.

I don't want to have her dealing with configuring SheepShaver, if you know what I mean.

Would they run in SheepShaver, perhaps? It just seems unfortunate to have to run between two laptops ...

AFAIK OS X. She just needs to run apps that won't run in Classic. I gave her my PB 170 (the one I have now), but after a while, I decided that I really want it back, and she could…

Why, what's her Lombard running?

Thanks Byrd for the valuable advice! I didn't know about the possibility of the CPU card becoming unseated; I thought it would stay a tight fit. And I'm actually intending for the…

Great finds. See if you can get a G3 for the 1400 -- it makes it a totally different animal. Although my 1400+G3/333 still feels slower than my 300MHz blueberryBook, it still runs …

Chances are that PB170 has a poorly-seated CPU daughtercard; reseating it (or shimming it slightly to enable a better fit) usually gives it life. Either that, or pull the battery …

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I know what's wrong with the 520c.

Not bad, best of luck getting the nonfunctional machines up!

I mentioned this conquest earlier, but it turns out that I got some more stuff along with everything else. 1: PowerBook 180c Dead HD (I have a spare); came with system disks and …

You are better off redoing them all at once (not that many to do). Hopefully none of the other onces leak and kill the motherboard.

Yes there where dual clones.. I think its was a Daystar and or UMAX.

Did you say you got a G3 card in the machine. That takes a peice of software to run and if the HD is messed up nothings going to happen. Click to expand... Software for process…

Thanks JRL. I took your advice and did the alcohol wash and pram battery replacement. I was able, with the help of a friend, to locate a cap with the value I needed. I didn't…

I sold my emac to a friend for 90buckss he had been wanting a mac, but doesn't really have the money so I sold him the emac hes just going to pay me a little with each paycheck, bu…

When using modern disks with built-in active termination, you can usually ignore Apple's termination advice for the IIfx. Active termination provides similar functionality to Apple…

A full cap replacement (as well as a good rubbing alcohol scrub where the battery leaked and a new battery as well) should do the trick. In turn, the SE FDHD will last for a very l…

I've got an old SE FDHD with a problem. I had set it up for my 10 yr old nephew with system 6.0.8 and a copy of MOTU Performer 2.2 to get him started with keyboards and midi. It wa…

Have you bothered to replace the CPU card with another 604/e/ev to see if it's the CPU Card? Click to expand... No, because I don't have another CPU card. This 9500 came from f…

Did you say you got a G3 card in the machine. Click to expand... No. My machine, as far as I know, has the stock 604 @ 200 MHz processor card. Click to expand... as far as …

Running OS X 10.4.11 for now, haven't got around to installing OS 9. Downside of using OS 9 is that my wi-fi network is inaccessible since I use WPA security. I'll find a work-arou…
