So you just got a beige PCI Mac with no OS installed and you have Mac OS 9.1 and Ubuntu 9.10 for PPC Macs available for a clean install. Given how old 9.1 is and that no modern sof…

You say you didn't notice a difference in Virtual PC. Did VPC claim to be dual-aware? If so, probably what you'd need to do then is test out running two virtual PCs on each the dua…

you'd need to hack the 1400 somehow so it wouldn't try to charge them Click to expand... Click to expand... Wouldn't a few diodes do?

Glad it worked out for you.

Ok, I received the AUI to RJ-45 adapter yesterday. Tonight I put my Dayna ethernet card in my SE/30, spent some time through the web to find a working image of the Dayna drivers fl…

I wish Li-Ion batteries were possible for the 1400...sigh. Click to expand... IIRC they are, but you'd need to hack the 1400 somehow so it wouldn't try to charge them (or just …

I have the wireless cards...you can text surf (using WannaBe) and pull up the low-demand BBC website, that's about all I can do without pulling my hair out. But it was fun to get w…

Is that one of the original Apple batteries or one of the aftermarket ones? That is really good runtime, either way! I have found that my VST aftermarket ones can't use battery rec…

The c screen is so much better than the cs. The PB 1400 remains my favourite PowerBook, because it was my first laptop and it serves me to this day. For many years it was the only…

Screen cost me £7.27 from eBay How nice to have an old friend back ... Ok Front bezel claims to be a 1400C/133 when it's in fact a 1400/166 was a cs but the Active Matrix screen i…

Never saw one before. Very cool though and much more interesting than the AAUI to RJ45 adapters I've got.

I never knew that these existed, but sure enough, one came plugged into the LaserWriter I acquired today. It is essentially a 4-port standard RJ45 ethernet hub attached to an AAUI …

The eBay seller had about ten of them available about two weeks ago. There may still be a few left.

Nice score...those WaveLAN cards are like a swiss army knife, they'll work on practically anything, just a shame they're getting a bit harder to find...I spent about 3 years lookin…

That is awesome! Maybe one day I'll get a newer MessagePad and try that out. I've got a Newton 2nd rev I think upstairs.. Can wireless anything be done with that? I have the lit…

A recent eBay purchase of a Lucent Wavelan Turbo Silver PCMCIA has given me wireless Newton 2100 connectivity for the first time since I began to use a Newton in 1997-98. This was …

Minor note, the machine gets very hot. Click to expand... Absolutely. I can use my 700mhz model as a space heater in a small room if I leave it on all night. Jobs always h…

I saw an old review of a prototype G4 upgrade from Daystar that had 2m cache vs 1m cache in the production model and the results weren't impressive. Running about 20 apps and bench…
