I got my 120 last week I am getting there with finding my way around it now. It has been quite useful, but the handwriting recognition is a bit rubbish. I'm guessing that is b…

Well, the title says it all, really... I have a sneaky suspicion that there's something wrong with my PowerBook. It boots without chiming (I have reset the PRAM to no avail), and …

Much in the same way as how stuff you order from Apple decides to show up after you decide to cancel your order. (back in 2004/2005 I waited 3 months to get an iPod, the very da…

Well, it seems to have decided to fix itself after I made an appointment at the Genius Bar; funny how these machines fix themselves when you call Apple

... Can't put a price on the nostalgia we get from using old Apple gear ... I just enjoy using the older stuff sometimes, and do everything I can to speed them up and make them mor…

book123, I have sent you a link. If anyone else needs these files, send me a PM and I will give you the link.

The standard things to check are the connectors, both at the motherboard and at the display panel itself. The latter in particular are somewhat infamous for developing poor contact…

The screen keeps flickering a brown hue and colors are off. :-/ halp? :O

Hi all, please anybody could share the Mac OS ROM 2.5.1 or the os 8.6 for my Sawtooh? I have 8.5 original, but it wont run thanks in advance.

Ahh, sounds good. I found the handwriting recognition was 100x better on the 2000 than on the MP100, but since you can run OS 2.0 you should be good to go. They make great little…

No perticular reason. The fact that is was a good price and came boxed and in mint condition were good. A 2000/2100 would have been good but they tend to be rather expensive and I…

Unfortunately it sounds like it's failing. If you have something else to boot off of on the machine, such as another PPC Mac like your G4 via Target Disk Mode, do that. You'll at l…

My little 12" AlBook seems to be having some issues with its superdrive. Any disk that I insert is sucked in, pondered for a few seconds, then immediately spat back out. Blank CDs …

Sounds cool. I've never seen a 120 before. I've got a 100, 2000. and 2100. Definitely cool. Any reason you picked the 120?

I just thought I would mention that I bought a MessagePad 120 recently. I havn't recieved it yet. It will probably come next week as it is coming from Spain. It is boxed and in mi…

In disk utility, try selecting the drive itsself, and clicking mount!

The G3/400 uprade is probably the second best thing that can happen to any PB1400, just after being equipped with a TFT screen. If asked to spend 200 bucks to pimp a 1400c, I woul…

Those beige G3 drives had issues when new,they have under run problems. just replace the Cd drive with something better. My mad dog works great. [] ]'>

Makes sense to me... Can't put a price on the nostalgia we get from using old Apple gear. Riddle me this... does it make sense for me to occasionally do book research on my PowerB…

Love my mint 5300ce... threw a CF Card in there for an internal hard drive. Works great, and has a double capacity battery that lasts for about 5 hours, and I have a flush wifi ca…

Great discussion. I wrote these specs years ago... they might come in handy (check the GLOD solution there, although looks like you already tried it). Also, like at links at bott…

oh yeah about the hd, if it is a profile there is a guy who makes a profile-compactflash board, google profile emulator. -can't help u if it is a widget.

hehe u r a retro man - a die hard one at that! a combi with a bastard engine AND and apple lisa!

Problem: The install still doesn't work. It craps out anywhere from 1-5%. Solution: My theory is that the SuperDrive is too fast for the G3. Use an old ass DVD-ROM drive, preferab…
