What about the Duo or 2400?

Well, if things turn out as planned, I will have a Powerbook 1400c (166mHz 64 RAM) and a Lucent WaveLAN silver. *me hopes school's WiFi allows WEP* EDIT: ...which is good sinc…

This one has 2.0.

Yea, I use a silver and a bronze. You also need to make sure the hinges on old G3 laptops are good.

Which OS is on your 120? Newton OS 1.x is generally regarded as terrible. I sent a Newton 120 2.0 firmware to a member in the US ages ago, unfortunately if didn't survive the trip…

How about a PowerBook G3? That way, you'll be able to use a newer OS and printer with it. I have often run into a few issues with older systems and hardware/ software compatibility…

did you run a hardware test? i wouldn't be too worried about no chiming. my sawtooth g4 has been doing that for a long time with no ill side effects.

get a 3400. 5300's weren't the best ones ever.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! That crashing sound you hear is the sound of Windows breaking. No, I didn't throw my ThinkPad through one. Microsoft Windows ju…

No more than $50, if thats even possible. Will WaveLan silver work with WEP?

Batteries are going to be an issue since only brand new ones (on wallstreet G3s anyway) do 3 hours and used ones that still work will likely get you an hour or so. You can use 2 b…

I just need something that I can use at school, without worrying about it getting damaged or anything like that. I was thinking along the lines of a 3400C, or even a PowerBook G3. …

I got my 120 last week I am getting there with finding my way around it now. It has been quite useful, but the handwriting recognition is a bit rubbish. I'm guessing that is b…

I just googled both variations of his name...this thread comes up as the first match for both. Click to expand... Nice work

Update... Success! I have two hard drives now on the optical drive ata bus.

An update: I'm short on cash, but I was able to scrape together enough money to buy everything but the new processor and the video card. I also ended up getting a USB 2.0 card beca…

Well, the title says it all, really... I have a sneaky suspicion that there's something wrong with my PowerBook. It boots without chiming (I have reset the PRAM to no avail), and …

All of Trash80toG4's threads on the subject were lost in the Great Crash. I just hope that one day he googlestalks himself and winds up back here, with all of his notes intact. Tra…

You are right, it isn't 2/3. I think it is 4/5AA, which you can get fairly readily. Check the measurement of the cells listed here against the originals when you open up the batter…

I tried re-celling mine with AA-sized, tabbed NiMh cells but could not make them fit. The OEM cells were smaller (2/3 AA, I believe you call them), and after a struggle, I located …

Paging Trash80toG4 ... where is that guy?? Click to expand... Wasn't he working on a G3 upgrade for the 2300? Click to expand... Well, he was researching it at least, readi…

Well then, that's not good. With any luck, it may just be a bad PMU; they were replaceable on those models, unlike the DVIs and later. Or it could be a random logic board failure.…

I tried re-celling mine with AA-sized, tabbed NiMh cells but could not make them fit. The OEM cells were smaller (2/3 AA, I believe you call them), and after a struggle, I located …

beachycove, I'm thinking of recelling the battery in mine too. I've got 48mb of RAM and a 1GB CF, and the machine works perfectly. Such a shame that I can't take it with with me …

Paging Trash80toG4 ... where is that guy?? A Duo that becomes a G3 when docked would be right up his alley, let alone mine. } Click to expand... Wasn't he working on a G3 upgra…
