Note that refers to the Powerbook G4 15" and 17", which I believe take the newer, smaller (but similarly shaped) power connector. So it may not be relevant to a 1400. By "outer s…

There is a somewhat obscure note on PowerBook power adapter sense circuits at http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1266.html which specifies clearly where the +24V and Gnd conne…

Thanks! great info.. i have the charger of my old stolen laptop. it is 24V, I must try the thing about using a 6.5mm plug

Ah, I see, RetroFloppy is the way to go! Thanks, David! Ben

I do not have any Apple equipment other than my iMac. I'm looking for hardware translation service for my old 5.25" floppies (formatted on Apple ][e). Cheers, Ben

Yesterday I installed the Airport extreme card in the iMac. I put it back together correctly and carefully. I booted it and nothing. It would make that spinning hard drive noise an…

Yeah 24 volt is right, just said 9 off the top of my head. I know a charger from a lombard will work though.

The chargers from the Powerbook Duo series will work also. They won't give you enough charge to both run the laptop and charge a flat battery at the same time, but you can do one …

The 'correct' charger is a Macintosh PowerBook 45W Power Adapter, M4896 (1996), 100-240VAC 1.2A in and 24VDC 1.87A out. The M3037 (1995) for a PB 5300 looks similar, and has a si…

I believe its 45 watts 9 volts but i am not completely sure, i know a charger from a lombard will work and i think a charger from a pismo will as well.

I think Steve Jobs is going to have a fit when he hears about this. Not only are G4 machines slower than 867mhz running Leopard in defiance of his edict, now the door has been open…

What!?? Why did they do that?

I remember that...brings back memories from Grade 9. (when the G4 first came out, and the US Govt prevented them from exporting it)

Yikes. Power Mac G4 - the first personal computer classified as munitions and under export restriction because of its power. Click to expand...

I'm using Leopard on my dad's brand new iMac right now, and I honestly cannot see myself installing it on any of my computers, ever. Especially not one that could run OS9 as nicely…
