Thanks for the replies, guys. The iBook seems to work when it wants, but so far its doing what I've asked it to do, I just wish it would stop doing these random "bombs". I might co…

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact…

Congratulations on that iBook G3! The 500 or 600MHz (Rage128) models are the pair of dualUSB iBooks I'll still admit to having wanted when they were new, and I'll also admit I woul…

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?

Well, spanking it, dropping it and tapping it gently with a sledgehammer didn't help. Salvation came in the form of a PB160 with a bad screen that generously donated its hard…

I have two 150's here that have entire sections of the screens dead. They partially work, but those dead areas make it impossible to really use them. Click to expand... I have …

I have a ton of old Thinkpads with great screens from the mid 1990's, yet a few newer with some pink or dead bulbs. If I had to guess I think the older smaller screens had bulbs th…

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…

TjJazer, Try rebooting the SE/30 off of the floppy drive. Then run Disk First Aid or Apple SC HD Setup or some type of equivalent hard drive utility program. We just need to che…

The c screen is so much better than the cs. The PB 1400 remains my favourite PowerBook . . . Click to expand... Mine too. I REALLY HATE to admit it, but 'Beater kicks PowerD…

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…

OK my spare SE/30 is having a major problem! I think it's the SCSI chip. Which is not socketted! It will hang on boots and reboot, and after messing with it, SCSI is dead on the…

System Picker you say? Never heard of that before. Tell me more... Click to expand... These two links tell all: LEM "System 6 or 7?" Macintosh Garden System Picker Download…

But there's no need to just worry over it. Just put System 6 and 7 on your machine and switch between them as needed! That's what I do via System Picker. It's easy and convenien…

There were "mainstream and popular games" for System 6 as well as System 7. You will be surprised at what still runs under System 6. For example, Deneba Canvas 3.5 runs wonderful…
