The upgrade cards themselves are very rare and probably mostly lurk inside long-forgotten 500 series PowerBooks. I'm still blown away by how cheaply you got it!

The backup battery is powerful enough to maintain a powerbook in sleep mode for as much as a couple of days; they are rather robust when functional, in other words. The way the pow…

Backup (not just pram) batteries have several functions in a powerbook, so that it is unwise to rely on a powerbook without a functional backup battery.

Anyone know much about the Powerbook 500 with PowerPC?Lowendmac and Apple-History do not have an entry for it, I would have thought it should since it was appears to be a separate …

No, the 500 series was marketed as ppc-upgradeable. So were other late 68k powerbooks like the 280c. It was standard marketing fare c. 1993-94.

I recently read something that desribed the introduction of the PowerBook 5300 and the negative impact it had, and that Apple produced the PPC upgrade for the 500 series as a respo…

Well the two old powerbooks (190cs and 500 with PowerPC) arrived yesterday.
I must say, wow! the Powerbook 500 was really built well. Compared to the 190cs which creaks and groans…

Thanks Guys for the advise. I have removed the main battery and plugged in the pram battery and plugged in the charger. I will leave it on overnight and see what that does.

An Apple IIc LCD popped up on there a while back - cheap - the auction ended early for around $150 I reckon. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the very same one with a highly inf…

I remember seeing this in 2010 where Roy Scheider sits on the beach using one. It actually holds up pretty well as a laptop you'd see in 2010, except for the ribbon cable connector…

Yes, but I'm not sure it's $999.95 worth or rare. Since the auction ended with no bidders, I'm guessing most are in agreement. Perhaps a relative of one of our unmentionable US sel…

For once, the overused eBay buzzword "RARE!!!ZOMGLOLBBQ!!!1101!!" is totally justified. And the price, though high, has some level of realism, considering.

The PRAM battery in pismos is rechargeable. It recharges after the main battery is full. It should be possible to operate with a dead PRAM battery.

Anyone know where one can find manuals.
I just picked up a PISMO and would like to have a user manual and/or a repair manual. It has a dead main battery and the pram has been dis…

That's interesting. There were no jumpers on the drive, were there? Sometimes drive manufacturers or resellers will ship drives with jumpers installed, as some computers need to ha…

In OS X DP3 it was still possible to delete the Aqua theme file, the OS changed to Platinum if you did it.

Also I imagine OS X Server 1.2 would not be very good as a modern server. As an experiment to play around with, sure.
