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

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.

from what I heard, those things caused a LOT of data corruption, mainly as the North-Bridge of the G3 was specifically made to only support 1 Processor per north-bridge from my und…

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)

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…

That is simply amazing. I am glad I just got a G4 ZIF for one of my G3 Powermacs. Installing Leopard will be added to my 'to do' list.

My B/W G3 has a Sonnet G4/400 in it an so far the only thing that needed to be installed was a firmware patch to allow G4 processor upgrades. Other than that no drivers were necce…

I may purchase another identical zif module than mine to see if it performs better, lets hope yes. Only this model guarantee the compatibility I need.
