Did you know you can upgrade the CPU to a full Core Duo if you wish? Click to expand... 8-o News to me! Click to expand... Yep, you should even be able to go up to a Co…

What I would do is tell OS X that you would like to reinstall windows and when you boot from the disk and get to the set up part tell linux to install to the X partition but thats …

As it turns out, the hard drive was not the problem. The System 7.6 CD was. That is why I kept getting random freezes. I got the PowerBook 150 Enabler from Apple's website, loaded…

I like IIcis so much that when I had the chance a couple years ago, I grabbed four of them. They had all been clustered together as some sort of server; I forget the specifics, but…

Yep, all PowerBook floppy drives have doors. The reason as to why the eject hole is in a different place on yours is that the PowerBook 150 uses a manual inject floppy drive, same …

It probably isn't too difficult. You'll want to follow this guide, or one like it. http://blog.costan.us/2009/03/ubuntu-810-or-904-on-mac-mini.html It explains how to install an …

What do you think of the screen? I have read much derision being poured on the PB150 screen, but this, I suspect, is based on the specs:year of manufacture ratio rather than what i…

There's a product called Chip Quik which is supposed to make this type of work easier. You paint it onto the joints you want to desolder and it lowers the melting point of the sol…

Nice score! The PB150's are cool machines. I hope your 4GB drive will work for you.

Good to hear that its got a RAM upgrade - the main thing like I said, is that it has the right angle adaptor, which allows you to use Duo RAM. That 4GB hard drive *should* work - I…

It's got 8MB RAM but the hard drive, which is a 250MB, has problems. It will "freeze up" when in use (I've tried twice to install 7.6 on it--yes, I finally have a use for the 7.6 C…

Not bad. I hope for your sake the RAM has been upgraded - even though they use Duo RAM (which if you can find a Duo, is easy enough to find), they require a special right angle …

The PDS slot for the IIci and the LC PDS slot are two completely different interfaces, unfortunately. The Presto was also only made for the LC series.

I have a Presto 040 that came with an LC computer I bought. Were there two physically different cards for the LC and II series Macs? Or was it just one card, but had an adapter f…

Hey, nice find. Post a pic.

I picked up a PowerBook 150 in excellent condition for $10. It works perfectly and seems to even have a working battery. The drive is empty but I'll be booting it up later tonight …

I haven't tried installing any Linux on any Intel-based Mac just yet, but from what I've heard Ubuntu does use elilo as the boot loader on the Intel Macs. The only issues I've hea…

I've had a core solo Mini sitting around for a while, it's split between OS X & XP. I'd like to erase the OS X part and put Ubuntu on it instead. Is this possible? I've Goo…

Well, I finally got that new display cable today. So I got right to it, I took apart my laptop and tried to fix it. Pics of repair. Sadly. It turns out to be the controller bo…
