OS 9 and the PM 7300 Upgrade — #3
Depends on the G3 you purchased and how much cache it has (512K or 1MB). To get a faster system you need more RAM, an ATA/66 IDE card or a fast wide SCSI card and some decent HDs.

Could be, but give it a chance to heal (recharge). I was sure the PRAM battery was hosed on the PBG3 Firewire I just bought, but then I pulled the dead main battery to do some sur…

I think it is the PRAM battery (though it'll boot up to OS 9.2.2 perfectly. No

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it. How exactly do I c…

Should you have a zero charge old main battery in there when you are testing, you can try pulling it out and charging the PRAM battery for a full 48 hours in either operating or sh…

I loved my Newton Message Pad 130 and used it everyday, but one day the batteries died. I didn't get around to replacing them for a couple of weeks, but when I did get around to r…
