Right... It seems to be a pretty good battery, I think my seller was actually quite conservative in his description. I'm going to treat it well and see how the runtime goes. LiIon…

If the battery holds any charge at all, cycle it through a few full charge/discharge use cycles, and you might find it improves.

Wow! I got it last night...nice clean 400mhz Pismo with 512k ram...dual boot...wonderful machine! I think I'm in love with Mac all over again! Booted it up last night, the airport …

I just scored on an OMP and Newton MP 130 with accessories which includes a Newton keyboard, modem, memory card, serial cable, AC adapter and Apple leather cases for each. The guy…

Meanwhile... I've been playing around with System 7 (.5.#) that is supposed to make everything more easy, but unfortunately Open Transport does not work with 68000's processors, so…

As a little piglet would say, "Oh D d d dear!" "Hold the shift key and click me again!" -Ozzy's adventures. Actually, the link above has information of the error your picture sho…

Photo with some of the paint taken off. Click to expand... I know everyone is going to hate me for this but here goes. I like it. A lot. Get some rags and spray them with oth…

I got a decent amount of the paint off. A few more coats of it, and it should be gone. I'm pretty sure a normal soap/water scrub would work fine.

Just got a 400mhz Pismo with good RAM, etc. on eBay. I'm excited to finally get a Pismo after all of these years! Working online with my Powerbook 1400s made me long for more speed…

If the internal hard drive is larger than 4GB (unlikely unless it's been upgraded), don't attempt to install or format the drive over SCSI Disk Mode. There's a firmware bug that l…

As far as installing over LocalTalk, I don't recall that being possible. Click to expand... For example I have a "System 7.5 network install CD", you need a lower version and b…

I do have external SCSI CD drives, but not the HDI-30 adapter to attach it. As far as installing over LocalTalk, I don't recall that being possible.

If you have another old mac with a CD drive and have the necessary networking hardware (and I assume you do), stick the CD in another machine, turn on filesharing, and mount the CD…

Do you have a SCSI CDROM drive to boot the 1400 from? Install from another Mac with SCSI target mode?

A friend of mine just got a Powerbook 1400cs but without a CD-ROM drive. Its running a horrifyingly old install of 7.5.3 thats probably been on there since 1996. We'd like to get…

Some of us here collect KIM-1s, btw. Learned how to program it in high school with the hex keypad in 6502 assembly. Still have it. Works great. It's fun to have a computer that's a…

This wasn't getting the attention it deserved in another forum so I felt it appropriate to move it here. I am most interested in knowing about the MacSnap 5.0 "RAM upgrade" (witho…

Model 100's are awesome machines for what they're capable of. I have several here. A piece of lore behind the Model 100, btw, is that the Word Processing component of it is the l…

Battery reset is indeed useful for when battery capacity/use gets a bit out of sync. After months of regular use, a pair of WS batteries in my 300Mhz one will get me around 3 hour…

The Wallstreet would make an ideal bridge between an Ethernet/TCP/IP/WiFi LAN and a Localtalk/Phonenet/Appletalk network of older Macs, if, as I vaguely recall, it has old-school M…

Epilogue: So, I went on the LEM swap list and grabbed a stripped 233mhz Wallstreet for $25 shipped. This netted me a replacement palmrest with no trackpad cracks and working butto…
