Thanks Byrd for the valuable advice! I didn't know about the possibility of the CPU card becoming unseated; I thought it would stay a tight fit. And I'm actually intending for the…

Great finds. See if you can get a G3 for the 1400 -- it makes it a totally different animal. Although my 1400+G3/333 still feels slower than my 300MHz blueberryBook, it still runs …

Chances are that PB170 has a poorly-seated CPU daughtercard; reseating it (or shimming it slightly to enable a better fit) usually gives it life. Either that, or pull the battery …

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I know what's wrong with the 520c.

Not bad, best of luck getting the nonfunctional machines up!

I mentioned this conquest earlier, but it turns out that I got some more stuff along with everything else. 1: PowerBook 180c Dead HD (I have a spare); came with system disks and …

Hi, I received my PB 3500/Kanga G3 Powerbook the other day, and set out fixing it up with a new HD and general spruce up, it came with 5GB HD and 64MB RAM (32 + 32MB) I also have…

Just so you know, it's been said that the Q840av will take 128 Meg SIMMs, giving you 512 mega total. Give it a try, and let us know...

Are you confused yet ??? Click to expand... Yes I am, that's why I started this post in the first place - but that's part of the fun isn't it ? :lol: Thanks for the help anyw…

Hi, I'm PowerPup. Been a Macintosh fan ever since I was 6. These are my favorite gadget conquests I've conquered so valiantly over the last few years. :rambo: (These pictur…

Hello, I'm PowerPup. I just joined the forum. (Awesome forum by the way.) I almost succeed in a similar attempt, it ended up not working so well because I could not find a stab…

Alternatives include using a serial port to another host and using PPP between them.

Ok, I'm not familiar with the EtherWave product, but you described it as a "bridge". I have never seen a LocalTalk to Ethernet bridge that is capable of MacIP, but I guess it's po…

I have a 2hr battery, so do not need a replacement just now. 2 years from now, maybe. This latest post was made purely with a view to the possibility of experimentation on a dead b…

It looks to me that the drivers aren't installed properly. You should see two network device entries in the MacTCP dialog -- one for LocalTalk and one for the EtherWave. Apart from…

There are also software routers and MacIP gateways, like the old "Apple Internet Router" that you can run on a second, ethernet capable Mac to do this - but you don't really want t…

The Farallon EtherWave is a "full TCP/IP" device and should act like a conventional ethernet adapter. They're a bit on the slow side, but adequate for basic use with a Plus or SE. …

The problem is that LocalTalk can't "do" tcp/ip (the "internet" protocol) - it can only handle AppleTalk and that's it. MacTCP allows you to work around this limitation by wrappin…

Enjoy.

You are better off redoing them all at once (not that many to do). Hopefully none of the other onces leak and kill the motherboard.

Have you looked into professional places like www.batteryrebuild.com to rebuild your old batteries? You can have major problems trying it on your own.

Yes there where dual clones.. I think its was a Daystar and or UMAX.

Did you say you got a G3 card in the machine. That takes a peice of software to run and if the HD is messed up nothings going to happen. Click to expand... Software for process…

I also back the upgrade to the 1400c active matrix screen! I had one of each and the active is far superior. The only advantage the CS has is that it's hard for people to see what…

This evening I read with some surprise that the cousin of the 2400c, the 3400c, can use and charge the battery from a PB 190/ 5300, which is, of course, a NiMh battery rather than …
