Thanks Byrd for the valuable advice! I didn't know about the possibility of the CPU card becoming unseated; I thought it would stay a tight fit. And I'm actually intending for the…

Great finds. See if you can get a G3 for the 1400 -- it makes it a totally different animal. Although my 1400+G3/333 still feels slower than my 300MHz blueberryBook, it still runs …

Chances are that PB170 has a poorly-seated CPU daughtercard; reseating it (or shimming it slightly to enable a better fit) usually gives it life. Either that, or pull the battery …

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I know what's wrong with the 520c.

Not bad, best of luck getting the nonfunctional machines up!

I mentioned this conquest earlier, but it turns out that I got some more stuff along with everything else. 1: PowerBook 180c Dead HD (I have a spare); came with system disks and …

I also back the upgrade to the 1400c active matrix screen! I had one of each and the active is far superior. The only advantage the CS has is that it's hard for people to see what…

Just luck really. I used a combination of Google and archive.org. I think I managed to find the filename first, then an old entry on cnet or download.com that had a dead link back …

Thank you for that. But how did you find it? I looked for hours with no luck, including on the internet archive/ waybackmachine, so a tip on how to look would be useful to have in …

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the TapGuard 1 or TapGuard 2 PowerBook utility, which is meant to keep a cursor from jumping around due to accidental contact with a trackpad w…

Hmmm you upload the sounds it makes?

I'm experiencing Déja Vu again

Hi guys, I recently got a very nice iMac G4 (17" 1.25GHz/USB 2.0 model). It works fine - but, when I start it up, it makes a strange sound. It makes the normal startup bong, and …

To be honest(yes, I know my opinion does not enter into anything) I think the forum is fine the way it is. We do not need extra crap to load it down. It is nice and fast and fine.

so no discussion will happen, since the mods cant make coherent or on topic post most of the time wouldn't it have been easier to just say no?

Who said anything about you getting to discuss it? All changes made to the forum are discussed by the moderation team... My personal view on the matter is that it'll probably stay…

Possibly... it will have to be discussed once we've upgraded. Click to expand... Excellent. So we get to discuss features which are added, but not features which are removed.

Hey tl, phpBB 3.0.6 adds quick reply-- are you going to enable it here?

You type PR#1 at the BAISC (]) prompt to output anything typed. As per paper they can use tractor feed or normal loose leaf depending on what mode you have it in.

Wait what paper does it use as well?

I don't have applesoft or anything else! Just the command line after doing Control-Reset and playing with it.

Also almost every dotmatrix printer ever can self test. With my model, you can either hold down TOF/QUIET while you turn it on or hold down line feed while you turn it on. The Imag…

You can test the printer by typing PR#1 at the Applesoft prompt (assuming the printer card is in slot 1)... after that all output should be redirected to the printer. Type somethin…
