There not a bad computer, I did 2 years of University with one. They take normal PC100-133 ram, which installs easy and are quiet because of they don't have a fan. With some more r…

I envy you so much...

Nice one! It is amazing how little these iMacs sell for these days, given how functional they still are as modern computers.

wow local pickup WITH original box/software!...doesn't get much better than that! Take pics... I don't recall what the slot loading imac boxes looked like!

I just won an ebay auction on an iMac DV for $11. 400mhz, 64mb ram, maybe a 40gb hard drive. Local pickup hopefully tomorrow. It has the original box and software CDs too. Mor…

I did not know that Apple sold active matrix screens as upgrades for the PowerBook 5300 or 5300cs. Do you have any sources for that information? Such an upgrade program would be …

I might add to my earlier post that the hitch is that you need to find the right 5300 screen. Most 5300s were passive matrix/ dual scan models, and (with the exception of the 5300c…

'Tis Down again. I get a "Please install wiki first error"

Wow, I never thought of making a "540c Plus" by combining a 190 with a 5300's color LCD screen. That's a great idea for a 68k machine, and unlike the 540 it has a lot of modern con…

I have a powerbook 190cs which is actually my main 68k machine. I have a good ethernet pcmcia card so I can connect it to my network and copy files there. I also use it as a localt…

pitch them!!! horrible machines. I went through 3 of them before realizing how much they sucked. I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole! Click to expand... Oi, I wouldn't m…

Beachycove's screen transplant suggestion is a wonderful idea. There are (or used to be) stacks of 5300s with bad logic boards but good screens, so finding a source of organ donors…

You can pop the active matrix screen from a PB5300c on one and make a plain-Jane 190 into a rather nice colour 68k powerbook. I am pretty sure that the 190 cannot take advantage of…

Great! It is always good to get a pair of machines since the one that doesn't work can be used as a spares machine. It sounds like you now have plenty to play around with!

Got a call from work asking if I wanted some PowerBook 190s. They came with AC adapters (one's dead.) One 190 works fine, the other has a dead display? Nothing shows up, but it chi…

Its been working fine for a few days now. I don't know what happened.

damn thats a big one

Well done for the Mac liberation. I don't live in the US tho so Lc 580 and Lc 575 are quite rare here [:O] ]'>

There's been a recount. We are now at over 35 Macs. Of the 30 I have, here's the breakdown: 5260/120 - 10 5500/225 - 3 LC 580 - 9 5200/75 LC - 4 LC 575 - 3 5400/120 - 1

Dangit, I'd love to take that IIe off your hands for you.

Thank you for being a hero!
