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…

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…

it would be interesting to organise another one, if there's enough people willing to participate of course.

Unfortunately I discovered the retrochallenge when it had already ended.

I like it! Tom has mentioned that bandwidth and space is not a problem, but if it ever becomes one, I have gobs that I'd donate…
It's really up to luddite (or whoever ends up hosting it this year) to decide what they want to do for a website. I have, however, started throwing a few ideas around as far as des…
Hello all,
I do realize it is a bit early to be asking,
But when do we plan to begin creating next years page?
