I think of the Lombard as being the ultimate 'book suitable for use with old and new Macs - the inclusion of SCSI a big plus. I'm pretty sure the G4 upgrades are for Pismos only B…
Yeah. After looking at the specs on Lowendmac, I'm wondering how well I scored here.
only one PC Card slot, and no ADB port.
Although the 333 MHz Lombard has a faster clock…
Nice score B! Our luck seems to be high this week, I scored a PB Ti 867 = $0. Given to me as "dead motherboard", two minutes later with my iBook adapter = 100% working Mac. It's…
Just picked up a Lombard 333 Powerbook and a Tangerine iBook 300 = $0.
The Lombard has 128MB/4G/CD -no DVD decoder- and the iBook 64MB/6G. Both in perfect working order.
I've gi…
Duo Keyboards are notoriously crap. I've owned 3 Duo's (270, 280, 2300) and the keyboards were crap on all of them.
My 2300, the only Duo I still have, has the wrist rest from an …
Hi Bunsen,
Hey Macd: what did "a little persistence" consist of? Just lots of pounding, or the whole strip down and clean routine?

Hey Macd: …
Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
...and the keyboard is the worst example of a Duo I've ever used. It's never a good thing when one must pound or continually press t…

With the purchase of this curiosity, I feel that it may be time to re-think the whole eBay thing.
This machine was advertised as a Duo 280. I figured cool, I don't have one of tho…

My dad cleaned his office. He gave my 9500 back to me. I gave it to him when he needed another OS 9 machine with SCSI for a high tech scanner thingy.
he also had some various s…
Snagged a Q950 this morning for free, 90MB RAM, 3 HDs but the largest is only 1GB. The unit is in very good condition.
Also snagged a Supermac GDM-1950 STD 9790 Trinitron 19" Colo…

My districts does basically the same thing, but what makes it worse is that I know there is a barn full of Apple //e's and various service parts that will either be recycled in the…
I also work for our school district in Miami (I'm a shared tech at two elementary schools). Because most of those items usually tend to be tagged by the property control departmen…
A "local" guy (meaning: within 24 hours drive, and in the same country...) has made me an offer I can't refuse for my non-working A4000.
So I have a couple $ to spend upgrading my…
Does that ISA card have any external ports? How about internal connectors? If all it has is internal connectors, I'd wager that it's some sort of audio processing card and the TI c…
See, I work for a school.
If they were anywhere near Seattle, I would pick 'em up and distribute them on the MLA. Let me know if you see anything like this in Seattle.
