What is the maximum hieght 2.5" hard drive i can use in the pismo? I see some 9.5mm, and some 12mm. I am worried the 12mm wont fit properly in my Pismo.

According to the PowerBook Developer Notes (http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintosh_CPUs-G3/PowerBook/index.html), the hard drive can be up to 12.7mm…

i am getting a Powerbook G3 292Mhz after reading so many articles about the WallStreet to be the best powerbook ever built. and also the need to use old peripheals, faster bus spee…

eeks! this is a peripherals question... the question is adapter for mouse (the actual Mac is secondary to the question) adapter is for a peripheral, ergo...

Nope, there aren't any ADB to USB connectors available. YOu'll have to use a PC card USB to be able to use this mouse.

<geethree.com> makes one. I use it on a 8600 with an intellimouse. Works great. They are $25 at outpost.com.

All rught , i got my new PBG4 550 about two weeks ago...was perfect checked for dead/stuck pixel, didnt find any at that time...no problems whatsoever actually. Anyway, i noticed a…

Some pixels are dark pixels and some are light pixels. Souds like you have a broken dark pixel.. Same thing on my last Powerbook... You can't massage a dead dark pixel back to lif…

Some pixels won't respond to massaging. Sorry!

OK I am a complete powerbook ignoramus...what do the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria look like,... I mean the "Lombard" the "Pismo" and the "Wall St". If you have pics to help the …

You can check out www.apple-history.com.... they have good info on ALL mac models.... great info! Here's a sample showing the Pismo.... http://www.apple-history.com/quickga...sfi…

They are all PowerBook's. After Apple releases them they never refer to them to their pre-release code name but message boards like these arte filled with references to them! Chro…

Once I got over the fact that my beautiful Powerbook was chipped I stopped worrying about it. Like wrinkles and grey hair, chips add character

I have a few small scratches on the lid of my TiBook. I would love to touch those up, but it seems this kit is just for the outside rim, not the "Titanium" part. Hmph.

is this normal? i don't think it is. i mean, i open the lid to wak from sleep and the fan goes on. i can't be 100% sure about this but i don't think this was always the case, it …

I bet it's your hard drive. My Ti 400 had a really loud hard drive that sounded like a fan. Try running iTunes with the visualizer on until the fan REALLY comes on and you wil…

I'd recommend the Tilt 'n Tote handle for the TiBook. I was pretty concerned about the heat/fan issue when I first got my TiBook and it *was* pretty hot (esp. over the "SDF" are o…

my fan only comes on when I set my Tibook on my bed and use it... that's the only time it ever has... and I think it has to do with the lack of ventalaion sitting on my cheap blan…

huh, it just might be my hard drive. i was concerned that the fan was going on immediately even when my powerbook isn't really that hot, but maybe it isn't. let me ask this... whe…
