Picked up, with the help of the giver, two 20-21" monitors. One Rasterops and one Radius. The two computers had the video cards in them. The MacIIfx has a Rasterops Paintboard Li …

I was in the thrift shop today and got a PowerBook 145 and Toshiba Pentium notebook PC. Anyone know if a PB 100 power supply will work on the 145?

Hmm. I was under the impression that as long as it was a Matsushita UJ-x series drivers wouldn't be a problem. That's what I'm looking for now. Click to expand... Provided yo…

That's the first I've heard of that lockup bug. I've just googled it, and found a list of affected CPUs and an Apple Support Forum thread with an official seeming reply. I'm awai…

I have my Lombard (which I got off eBay in the spring of 2006) tricked out with the DayStar G4 upgrade; it's not a huge speedup (just barely fast enough to play DVDs, even with Alt…

Thanks for the update and confirmation that it is a floppy port drive. It is a later drive than the one I know about, but very closely related. Try: plug the serial connector into…

Yay Floppys!

Holy shite dude! Nice score! Click to expand... wash your mouth, kid }

Hi, The drive does connect to the floppy drive. It also has connects to the serial or printer port. However although I can mount it i am unable to boot from it (even when I connec…

Holy shite dude! Nice score!

Tested the 5500 tonight. All works, including the TV Tuner (apparently, although all I get is snow without an antenna attached). 9.1, 64MB, 2GB. And it has that helicopter taking …

Picked up a PowerMac 9500/132 for free in the Quokka (local free for sale paper). Power supply was dead but the machine was loaded! Had more than 300MB of RAM (3 x 64MB chips plu…

The PB140 is probably easily fixed. The 1xx series PBs are infamous for somewhat flaky LCD connector behavior. Often, it suffices simply to pull out the flex cable, and then reinse…

Yeah...a 1400/G3 would have no problems at all with the WWW...i was referring to PB1400s which still have a 603e (mine does)

My notes on an early Paradise drive (taken from contemporary reports) are provided below. The one described by the OP sounds similar, but seems to use the floppy rather than serial…

Just to be clear, if you want any of the above stuff, the people have OK'd me to list their details here so you can contact them directly. Stick a note in here if you pick them up…

Although it's now 18mo. since last I did so, and the times they have a-changed, a PB1400/400MHz/64MB was still adequate—under Mozilla 1.0.2 (using a RAM Disk for browser cache) and…

What a haul!!!!!!

Indeed...on a 1400/117 with little RAM, i probably wouldn't go much further than...8.1. However, a 1400 with a quick enough CPU (either a 166 or a G3) and enough RAM can easily han…

I remember reading a report about someone's experiences and benchmarking of various systems on the 1400 and the general consensus was that System 7.6 was the best compromise of spe…

I thought it said 117mhz, but I'd have to check to be sure ... Click to expand... It will not matter greatly before you wish to upgrade the CPU or the RAM, but just be aware th…

That's a lot of stuff. [] ]'>
