Well, if things turn out as planned, I will have a Powerbook 1400c (166mHz 64 RAM) and a Lucent WaveLAN silver. *me hopes school's WiFi allows WEP* EDIT: ...which is good sinc…

Yea, I use a silver and a bronze. You also need to make sure the hinges on old G3 laptops are good.

How about a PowerBook G3? That way, you'll be able to use a newer OS and printer with it. I have often run into a few issues with older systems and hardware/ software compatibility…

get a 3400. 5300's weren't the best ones ever.

No more than $50, if thats even possible. Will WaveLan silver work with WEP?

Batteries are going to be an issue since only brand new ones (on wallstreet G3s anyway) do 3 hours and used ones that still work will likely get you an hour or so. You can use 2 b…

I just googled both variations of his name...this thread comes up as the first match for both. Click to expand... Nice work

All of Trash80toG4's threads on the subject were lost in the Great Crash. I just hope that one day he googlestalks himself and winds up back here, with all of his notes intact. Tra…

You are right, it isn't 2/3. I think it is 4/5AA, which you can get fairly readily. Check the measurement of the cells listed here against the originals when you open up the batter…

I tried re-celling mine with AA-sized, tabbed NiMh cells but could not make them fit. The OEM cells were smaller (2/3 AA, I believe you call them), and after a struggle, I located …

Paging Trash80toG4 ... where is that guy?? Click to expand... Wasn't he working on a G3 upgrade for the 2300? Click to expand... Well, he was researching it at least, readi…

Well then, that's not good. With any luck, it may just be a bad PMU; they were replaceable on those models, unlike the DVIs and later. Or it could be a random logic board failure.…

beachycove, I'm thinking of recelling the battery in mine too. I've got 48mb of RAM and a 1GB CF, and the machine works perfectly. Such a shame that I can't take it with with me …

Can I put a NuBus processor upgrade in my Dock II for use with my 2300c? / into the Cache/PDS slot Click to expand... Not without some serious dock connector/PDS hacking - even…

no go on that either - still solid amber on the power plug w/ no battery

This is likely an easy fault to fix. Simply remove the bottom case, move the DVDROM drive, and disconnect the PRAM battery (3-wire connector) from the PMU. Reassemble, and the mac…

I have another power brick at home, so I'll try that. The verbage was "If you can get this running, great. If not no big deal..."

if you need parts, I happen to have a TiBook VGA bottom that I can let go for $50 w/ shipping in the USA. All it's missing is the screen and HDD, but if you want, I can ship it ou…

If it's always on "I'm charging!" amber, then it sounds like something might be really wonky with the PMU. Do you have another TiBook that you can try the battery and/or power cord…

Some nubus cards will not work with recent system software, and some (say, the Rocket accelerators) will not work with a ppc processor. That's all I meant. I have a 2300c with CF,…

Actually I did some more reading and found that there arent any CPU upgrades that go straight into the Nubus slot (correct me if I'm wrong) but into the Cache/PDS slot of Nubus pow…

Maybe a sound or video card (in which case compatibility with version of MacOS and ppc becomes an issue), but nothing else.

They're quiet? Quieter then a Gigabit G4? Click to expand... Don't know the Gigabit. But at least on the Sawtooth there's a fan you can disconnect with no trouble unless you ad…
