They are amazingly durable, and you've got to love the keyboard. I am using mine less now that I have the Pismos, but I still love to type on them. I always admired the Duos, neve…

My 1400 love also comes from nostalgia. It was my first laptop, a hand-me-down from my brother-in-law who said if I could fix it, I could have it. A new LCD and inverter later, it …

I'm going to be using CCC to get the job done as the Sawtooth powers off when put in to Target Firewire Mode. I am curious as to how you shoehorned Tiger onto a CD laptop using a …

I've been dealing with a lot lately. A few deaths in the family, my wife's cancer , trying to find a job, helping out a friend whose mom died and psycho sister is making proba…

I've got a 700 MHz Dual-USB that I just finished putting Tiger on, and all it's got to work with is the 20x CD-ROM or whatever. It IS doable.

before I tell you the actual problem let me tell you what i did that led up to me experiencing the problem. So I found some software that I wanted to put on it, but of course it d…

Wow, awesome...thanks for the info and link, MidnightCommando and ~Coxy!

just clone your sawtooth's OS onto the ibook (assuming the sawtooth has tiger) using something like CCC. that should work at least as a temporary fix until you can fix everything t…

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! Click to expand... Only the machines with Old World ROMs. Anything B&W G3/Pismo an…

Thanks, worked like a charm. Now up and running on OS 9. If only I can shoehorn X on here. I've tried 5 discs, 3 of them retail, 1 a copy of the retail and the 5th I have no clu…

LCGUY beat me to it. It shipped from the factory with a G3 and is supported by OS X. So yes, it does belong in this list.

In the Airport control panel there's a check box for "Allow selection of closed networks", which when checked will allow selecting "Other" under network, which in turn will allow e…

There are tech and electronics savvy members who occasionally visit who could tell you more about testing the ps with multimeters and such. What I can say is that the P600 ps appe…

Indeed, I guess it's not so rare after all! Here's a very useful webpage I just stumbled upon with nice, clear black and white illustrations of many network cards, covering the in…

Personally, I love the 1400 series mostly because the 1400 was my first ever PowerBook, which I've had since new. While yes, they are very upgradable for a PowerBook, I have to adm…

Why would you be banned for talking positively about a 68k over a PPC, on a 68k-related board? I fully agree. The 1400-series is interesting, sure... But the 68k's are where the…

So the monitor is an Apple Two Page Display. I have a couple of nubus two page display cards, but have never seen one of the monitors except in photos. But the stand allowing for v…

I used a TPD once. For its time it was amazing, felt like I was editing in Pagemaker on a jumbotron.

I'd imagine it is, its an Apple Two Page Display...those things cost an absolute bomb back in the day and would've probably only really been sold to people who were into desktop pu…

Hmm, there are very few caps on the board that I can see, but none of them appear to have leaked. The logic board looks nice and clean.

I know I'm going to get banned for this, but: I couldn't care less about the 1400s. Yes they were great machines, expandable, and all that. However I just don't like them for some…

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact…

Weird. Googling for terms such as: OS 9 Hidden SSID OS 9 Airport Hidden OS 9 Connect to hidden SSID and such return 0 results. I highly doubt Apple is scrubbing all OS 9 info…

I'd begin by inspecting the logic board for capacitor leakage. My first Mac (bought new) was a P600 too.

So we ought to have there something Apple-branded that very few of us have ever seen.... Anyone have one? The monitor is also very rare, isn't it?
