Well I braved the tube today and got it straight. It's not 100% but it's better than it was. One question though, how much of a black bar should there be around the picture? I k…

SE/30 and BNC ethernet network, anyone? — #7

It gets really confusing when you wander into one of the NuBus cards that actually is a video card plus network card, such as the E-Machines ColorLink series. I have one with RJ-4…

SE/30 and BNC ethernet network, anyone? — #6

The difference between an AUI 15-pin transceiver and an AAUI Apple transceiver other than the connector used is Apple's AAUI port furnishes 5V power, and the AUI port furnishes 12V…

Screen longevity — #11

I have a PowerBook 1400cs and a Powerbook G3 Lombard, but I bought it from a site with the same idea as eBay, so I don't know if it is intended to be brighter.

With enough patience, precision, and critical thinking, you can replace the lamp(s) in most LCDs. I have replaced lamps in two PowerBook G3 Pismo screens. One was dim, the other …

SE/30 and BNC ethernet network, anyone? — #3

I'm a bit surprised, though, that the card is BNC-only. I'd expect an Ethernet card of the era to have both BNC and a 15-pin AUI connector. (Are you sure there isn't one and you th…

SE/30 and BNC ethernet network, anyone? — #2

From what you describe, you're pretty much stuck with a small ThinNet segment to the existing hub. This means two T connectors, two terminators and a segment of cable. I'm a bit s…

SE/30 and BNC ethernet network, anyone? — #1

Hi all, I recently found an Ethernet network card for my SE/30, which is pretty cool. Now, the card only has a BNC connector, which is much less cool. To tell the truth, I had…

Internet on a Powerbook Duo — #11

It really depends on which Duo you have. The Duo 2300c (the only PowerPC Duo,) can run reasonably well if it has maxed RAM. The Duo 280c is passable, but not really usable on a d…
