@ Bunsen: WOW-I'd kill for one of those. Too bad they're probably really expensive if I can even find one. Click to expand... Try writing to Tom Owad, who wrote the article I l…

Is this just for snits and giggles, or do you have purpose in mind for this machine? Now that it's been mentioned, I second the vote for the Jackhammer as a pure performance upgra…

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…

I just got 80 mins. charge from the formerly dead battery in the PB 180 while running Battery Amnesia (great utility). And that is with all power-saving features turned off, which …

  (It's a backup battery, actually.)   Now that it has booted, leave it plugged in, shut it down, then plug in your backup battery. If the main battery is dead, leave it out of …

Ok, I went in and poked around 3 of my Lombards, and after switching RAM in and out, found out a) I had one stick of bad RAM B) my new, whizzy Addonics compact flash adapter dr…

Cool - a Powerbook 180 was my second Mac (bought it new back in '92), and I loved it. It was a tank, pretty much indestructible. Enjoy it! As for finding RAM, I'm guessing the ch…

Does your main battery charge properly, or is it dead?

One of these has just arrived from a fellow lister. It is working fine from what I can see. And what a beautiful screen! I can see why they were in high demand back in the 90s. Th…
