I normally put all of my drives in single master mode anyway if its the only drive on that IDE channel. But with the WD 120gb HDD in my Beige G3 AIO i could have the drive set in M…

Indeed...I remember a couple of years ago when I was putting one of their drives into my Performa, how I had to jumper it specially for the Performa, in fact I think it was actuall…

And now you know that WD does it differently (with thought, of course). It's a caveat worthy of the attention of all of the enlisted here. de

All fixed...turns out the drive had to be set to single drive...works fine now

Indeed I have! But all I get is a blinking question mark :-/

did u set the startup disk to the panther partition?

So, about 5 years late, my iMac 333 is finally running Panther! However...there is a slight (big) problem.... The internal 24x notebook CD-ROM drive, well, lets just say its se…

The hard disk had been upgraded at some stage in the past an was not touching its heatsink. Click to expand... Yeah, the hard drive's heat spreader only contacts 12.5 and 17mm …

Quick update. I opened up the 2400 which was a substantial task. The hard disk had been upgraded at some stage in the past an was not touching its heatsink. Also the thermal past…

The flickering is a sign of insufficient voltage. Either the battery is marginal, or the power regulator board has a problem. The crashing could also be due to power instability. …

Using OF commands, after amending the settings for thermal-info I got the fan to turn on straight after booting, by setting them to 01010200 00000000 01010200 00000000. With the o…

I've got a 2400c spec'd very similarly to yours. My NUpwr is the 240MHz variety. Anywho, I couldn't say anything for sure about the first issue. It could be that something's aging…

If it crashes with intensive programs maybe it's overheating?

Hi everyone. I have a Powerbook 2400 with a few problems. I wonder if any of you knowledgeable people can help me out? My machine works pretty well. It has a NUPower G3 upgrade, …

Hi All, I've been delving around in open firmware on my Pismo to see if I can control the internal fan, or at least set a better temp. for it to come on at. In the device tree I'…

Shit, if this is true then it's no wonder the Newton never caught on. Click to expand... I don't think available software was the main problem for the early Newton. In fact, I …

Just so you know, from a message sent to the NewtonTalk mailing list on June 14th: Dear Newton Users, I'm pleased to announced that ATA Support can now be downloaded in a …

Really? That is AMAZING. It's like the iPhone but even worse. I'd love to see some scans of this secret contract bullshit. Shit, if this is true then it's no wonder the Newton ne…

Am trying to revive a dead 2400c/180 in the next week or three. As detailed on this page, among a handful of others in English, there are some dozen or more fuses in the innards o…

Very, very rare indeed, so you might reasonably conclude that the weight and stiffness are much more valuable to you in stabilizing your laptop than a tiny, tiny risk of fire from …

Thermal runaway is kind of rare considering how many batteries are out there and how many combusted.

I think the filler is useful to give the laptop increased mechanical stiffness and better balance. And the primary hazard is with charged cells. However uncharged batteries still…

So basically the cells are dead and the memory manager will not let the unit charge at all. There is no problem then using the battery as a space filler in the laptop (which is the…

Thanks for that, Wally. It underscores how much more there is to fear from mistreated lithium cells than from the LHC.

Upon battery insertion the battery manager board, if working, momentarily test charges the cells and looks for approximately 3V= If this is not met charging is disallowed and the…
