yes, but how to test it OUTSIDE of the PB? krabat

I don't know.

Anybody know? Thinking: CAN it only be tested when attached to the motherboard, or does a testplatform with powersupply exist, that a super mac-enthusiast might have...? It costs a…

Howdy. This is my first post in the forum, but I'm in need of some advice. I'm a college student, and I'm looking for a laptop because I'll probably be spending 6 months in the Un…

Nobody knows anything 'cept Jobs. OK, now that this is out of the way... Here's my guess: Seybold: OS X beta released (absolutely, for they said they would release in summer). …

I appreciate your reply. I'm still a little wary, what with all the problems posted in this forum with recent Mac laptops, especially the Pismo (notably the key marks/screen impres…

Well, the people I know who bought the Pismo 400 (only one 500) were (and still are) absolutely thrilled. I'm going to buy the 400 MHz PowerBook in september, unless Apple speed-bu…

You know, I was in the same boat right before the Pismo PowerBook came out. I needed a PowerBook, and I bought a Lombard 400, and was quite happy with it. About 2 months later the …

Definitely go with the Pismo. I should have waited to buy mine because I got it before that educational deal started... It's a great machine, but upgrade the RAM as soon as you ge…

The one thing that is likely to encourage Apple to speed bump the PowerBook line is if they introduce new or speed bumbed iBooks. Since the iBook SE runs at 366Mhz and current slow…

Here's why I think a speed bump in September is unlikely: What would they bump the speed to? Right now, it's at 400 and 500 MHz. What would the 500 go to? And if it goes higher,…

ok. there will be new powerbooks at seybold. more than likely new redesined Powerbook G4s. DON'T BUY NOW. and for the people who say that the Powerbook could not be higher in…

They might up the speed a bit before MWSF, but I doubt it. Even if they do, it's probably no big deal - at most the low-end Pismo will be 450. Really, is there any difference betwe…

Applenut1, First, multiprocessors in powerbooks would be very difficult because of heat, power, and space issues. You can't always compare desktop power to mobile power. Next, I…

Thanks for everybody's advice. My order for a Pismo 400 went in yesterday and I'm psyched, and can't wait to get it out of the box. Once again, thanks to everybody who replied, I a…

Good choice on picking up the 400mHz. $1999 is a GREAT deal on that laptop. Even IF new and faster versions of the Powerbook come out (likely) you have still gotten a great deal - …

I am ordering a $290 18GB IBM 2.5" HD to replace my original 3GB drive. Everyone wants $60 less than MCE for the same drive. Actually I suspect the MCE drive is a Toshiba by the sp…

I used to work for a company with over 3000 of these things, so I got familiar with the process. Unfortunately I haven't done it in a long time, so I'm a little fuzzy on the detail…

You can download the full tech manual in pdf format from this site: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple...k_3400c.g3.pdf It has complete instructions for your hd replacement.

The PB3400 won't utilize any storage beyond 3 GB, even on a much larger drive. Quote: Originally posted by ThermoNuclear: I am ordering a $290 18GB IBM 2.5" HD to repla…

Apple Spec for PB 3400: "Minimum Internal HD Size: 3GB" http://www.info.apple.com/info.apple...ec.taf?RID=239

We have a PB-3400 that is still chugging along just fine! It has been updated with a 6 GB HD, max RAM and passed along in the company as senior people get new Pismos! Word of caut…

This isn't true. I bought a 4 GB drive for mine a couple of years ago (from MCE), and they told me that the only problem with larger hard drives for the 3400 is that if they're abo…

Oh, by the way, our PB-3400 was one of the early model PB-3400/200c with the active matrix display and the 6x CD-ROM. When we did the update, we added 128 MB of RAM (total now 144 …

Greg2384828245, maybe I'm confused about what "SCSI Disk Mode" is? We used to routinely atach our PB-3400 to a desk top PM-8500 and it would show up on the 8500's desktop as an ext…
