Take heart. If you looked at the code under SM you may have seen that it was once more a result of the commonest cause of Sad Mac: nnnnnn0F, indicating a software fault. Hardware…

I bought this thing on eBay as a dead curiosity, but was determined to fix it. So, after replacing a bad fuse and making extra sure that all cards were seated onto their connectors…

I have this PowerBook 1400c/166 that has been working great until recently, when I turned it on and I got the infamous "death chimes" I went through the system, dismantled the e…

They walk a very fine line in the current state as well. They need to prevent piracy and create funds to continue such niche software. But the moment they go under or are not utili…

Nice to see Franklinstein - always wanted to check this out. Is she a goer, and if so does Cardbus work without modificiation? JB

Very interesting photos, thank you very much for sharing them

I finally got off my lazy arse and uploaded these pix to my Flickr. Here are: Top Bottom Open display Partial disassembly and part of the logic board

Hrm. 4 MB should be sufficient for up to 1280x800 at 24-bit (Millions) color.

Yeah I saw that, problem is it needs the ATI card with 8MB not 4MB which is what I have. It's worth a try I guess... When I read that I thought "isn't the snow iBook's display con…

i found this http://forums.macnn.com/73/mac-modification/305763/clamshell-ibook-questions-lcd-cd-logic/ i hope this helps ps, I have not tried it so good luck.

Is that even possible? Aren't the connectors and dimensions all non-standard and proprietary and mean? I'd love it if it was.

Just go on ebay and buy one. They aren't expensive especially if you can find an install disc that was made for your model machine rather than a full retail disc. LEM also has a pa…

Personally you can either track down the original developer through the internet and get the software registered, or just pirate it. I don't think developers are greedy pigs, if t…

Does anyone know where I can find a higher resolution LCD for my poor clamshell? I love it to bytes but I cannot for the life of me use 800X600.

porter Of course you can, but I deliberately wrote 'working computer', which is entirely different from a functional computer without an OS. dogbiscuit Make sure also that you d…

You mean iSerial doesn't help?

That isn't a problem limited to the Newton. The Amiga shares it. MS-DOS shares it. In a sense, I would argue that our sense of entitlement is a form of greed. Though, on the wh…

This is a subject that has been picking at me for some time. I have noticed very little "free" software for my newtons, most of it is shareware. What is worse is the limitations th…

Oh I see, I'm really with it, just didn't know it...

You are already running the latest version of 10.4! Apple's OS numbering goes 10.4.8, 10.4.9, 10.4.10, 10.4.11, etc. Generally, later version provide bug fixes and general improve…

Yeah, I think that makes sense. This is off the subject a little but, I'm using 10.4.11 now, can anyone give me any reason to upgrade to 10.4.3 or 10.4.4...4...5...6...etc (or to …

If the machine is for personal use then I would say that you're pretty much in the clear. Things like this are only really dodgy if you are using an install of an OS or other softw…
