I just installed a DVD-ROM drive in a B&W/400 today. Data DVDs work great. However, DVD movies do not work in the apple dvd player because I am missing the needed hardware.…

Thanks to almeath, I could test it for myself. Here is my story: I tried to boot an existing 8.6 installation from my g3 b&w on the g4 sawtooth (it has the onboard firewir…

Funny price - I got one for free. Awful display. Slow. 99% chance the battery is useless.

He said he purchased a few and I guess opened one of them. I don't care for that model so I think the price is a bit steep. Wonder if the battery will even charge after all this ti…

Sealed? Then what laptop is in the picture?

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that. Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere.

I have a 5300ce got at the thrift store. External scsi devices will not mount on the desktop. I have the right SCSI cable. A hard drive,CD rom nor zip drive will mount. SCSI probe …

I'd take it if they paid me $150. My 5300 suffered from every known problem, it's the only machine I've ever just thrown in the bin.

Very nice, if a bit expensive!!!!

Just in time for Christmas, this 5300 PowerBook never opened, brand new sealed in box. Now you too can experience first hand the cracked cases, broken AC connectors, or spontaneou…

I just burned the os 8.6 disk, put on my g4 ( i have my g4 upgraded to the latest firmware), reboot.. and worked!.. now i going to install it to my HD.

To the 500 Mhz G4 barrier: Thats why the PPC 7450 was used in the 667 and 733 Mhz G4 DA. An interesting note is that the lower price Digital Audio model include a PowerBook CPU c…

I would not be surprised - remember, this stuff was expensive back then, and that wasn't helped one bit by the fact that Motorola was having a lot of trouble putting out fast G4s, …

I'd say you have a Gigabit Ethernet G4/400. And they're not exactly rare - it was the low cost, "no frills" version of the Gigabit G4, for people who couldn't afford/didn't need du…

I finally managed to obtain, from a second-hand dealer, a G4 sawtooth that boots up in 8.6. Yes, it is very fast. [] ]'> To be safe I sent the dealer a copy of my boot CD,…

Nice job on the pictures and information!

I don't think it would be recognized.

Well, whatever you do, don't crawl through the window. Every time I've done that, the game went from a nice walk in the park to a subterrainian nightmare.

The copy on Asimov (zork_1.dsk.gz) is 143,360 bytes once un-gzipped, and works fine.
