Powerbook 3400 — #4

It's probably kind of a mixed blessing that it didn't come with a hard drive. My 3400's stock 2gb quantum HD ran REALLY hot, and really loudly compared to the drive I replaced it w…

Powerbook 3400 — #3

I'm fairly certain that the PRAM has been removed. It was included in a small bag and it looks like it leaked at some point. I am hoping not inside the unit. Will find out soon …

Powerbook 3400 — #2

Sounds like a plan to me! Make sure the power connector hasn't worked a little loose on the MoBo while you're in there. Test the PRAM Battery, maybe?

Powerbook 3400 — #1

Picked up a Free Powerbook 3400 that the guy considered non Functional. I turned it on with another power adapter and it booted after holding down the PRAM reset. First time the …

Dual 604ev @ 300MHz? — #1

This is sort of interesting.... The write-up gets the nomenclature wrong, as there never was a 604e that ran at 300Mhz; that distinction belongs to the 604ev, which is a different…

G3 beige desktop strangeness — #2

It might be overheating. The original thermal paste between the CPU and heatsink has almost certainly dried out, if it hasn't been renewed. Also check that the heatsink clip is t…

IIfx SCSI — #7
