The Duos can use a normal PowerBook G3/iBook Clamshell/PB 1400/2300/3400/Duo adapter, so they're easy to find. There are tons of generic ones on eBay for about $12 shipped.

Both the PBs are Duo 230s. No power cords, one is missing the trackball, but cosmetically not too bad other than some minor scuffing.

Pics!

Haven't even seen these yet, but ... I now have one or two early PowerBooks from the "gray plastic" era. I saw a CL post for a bunch of freebies in a driveway, with a pic of about…

If you're going to spend any money, I'd suggest a Digital Audio G4 or up. They're ridiculously cheap, but not quite at the occasional kerb score level like the G3s. You'll have a…

Not that big, TBH. The software took up most of the space.

Nice! How big was everything in total?

Oh yeah, also a Palm Pilot Professional w/cradle/case.

Finally made another trip over and got the following: boxed MacAlly multi-port adapter (lets you use several serial devices on one serial port) untested Duo Type 3 battery w/case…

Wow! Great Conquest, the SuperDrive versions are SUUPPPPERR rare! They were called FDHD's before.

4 meg of memory and a 40 meg HD!! I guess that would make it an SE 4/40? It's a little slow for System 7, but it runs. The small screen is sharp and bright. Eric :beige:

Another place to ask is on a local Freecycle list. While some people still pay for G3 Macs, they are quite old and you may stumble across someone who has one tucked away in the ba…

This time of year yard sales are nuts Im going to one tomorrow, i showed up too late today but the people were like "oh yea we have 2 tables of old pc and apple stuff"!

Welcome! So now, during the summer season, my plan is to get a mac (powerpc G3 or better), so I would like to ask the people of this forum; where exactly is the best plac…

Hello, I'm a forum lurker, so don't expect much posts from me, although I will be lurking around this forum for a while (probably until my sudden desire for a mac disappears, but t…

If you have a copy of Tech Tool Pro 4 or the Apple Hardware Test disk that came with that Sawtooth, you can run that after installing the RAM to determine if any sticks are bad. Y…

Sounds to me that maybe the jumper settings on the hard drive and the optical drive needed to be checked. IIRC, both drives are linked to the same IDE cable. Therefore, you could…

Also to add, it is a good idea to "bless" the System Folder, once the disk image is copied to a floppy disk. It's real simple to do; just open and close the System Folder itself i…

I'm a little confused as to the advice being given here ... First, what kind is your hard drive and what is it attached to presently? To use the 1.0 disk image, you need a Mac th…

Those dates indicated System 1.1g (the May 1984) Indeed, there is a "cleaner" .img file out there which has all of the original dates.

The report post button looks like this if you are using the theme that puts the avatars on the correct side subsilver2: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "…

OK. I would say you probably have no bot registrations and are looking at about 100% human spam registrations right now, most likely Chinese or Russians. The Mac question might hel…

I would agree with TL that handling the spammers as it currently stands is not so difficult. Many of them do post one or two things within an hour or so of having signed up, but ev…

Now I just gotta get room for it all. Click to expand... If you say so. Nice little conquest, it's like the broken eMac I picked up just for the combo drive in it.

I picked up a broken quick silver yesterday for the handles I needed for my quick silver inside the qs was a superdrive, zip drive and a ati rage card got that for 10 bucks then th…
