I have an iBook Clamshell battery if you need one.

Batteryspace.com sells NiMH tabbed 4/3AF cells. Getting eight of them to fit into that tight PB1400 case may be a problem, so the tab soldering must be done in a very compact man…

DON'T put any Clamshell battery parts into the 1400 battery or vice versa. The cells in ALL iBook batteries are Li-Ion cells, whereas the 1400 uses NiMH. Interchanging them would b…

first thought, duff RAM/slot, try one memory stick at a time and see what happens or if there is only one then try a different stick. If that doesn't work then I'd suspect a knack…

Does Contiki act much differently on the 16-bit GS than the older 8-bit Apples?

http://www.a2retrosystems.com/downloads.htm v 1.3 has the web browser and a few other apps (mostly just proof-of-concept). v 2.1 is the one you need if you're planning to set up …

having that Rage Pro 128 isnt helping things either. i would at least recomend a geforce 2 card and above, but you will still be pushing it. but since that has AGP 2x a 6200 Wang A…

The problem here is you are using a new OS with high overheads on a very old CPU and clapped out graphics card. Tiger should give you a much smoother ride.

The Magma expansion chassis was compatible with any Mac with a PCMCIA or PCI slot. In the old days, I believe they made Nubus expansion chassis too.

Magma answered my questions...nifty useful tools!

So those PCI-PCI expansion boxes are common? Was the 3400 the only Powerbook that was capable of such an expansion option? This is friggin' awesome!

Magma made one. I've seen things about them online like this. They show up on ebay occasionally. The PCI-PCI expansion boxes seem more common.

Aside from whatever identification strings and machine-specific features that may or may not be enabled in OF (i.e, video spanning), the iBook G4, PowerBook G4 Al, late-model eMac…

Sounds like it is a 'dead hd' given the circumstances you said. You could always try and take the drive out, and put it in an external enclosure to see if it is recognised on anoth…

I have an old edition, (2nd, I think) It's from 1994 and covers the very first Power Macs, so that's where I read it.

YEAH! I think I read that in Mac Secrets or something. I have 2 of the 5th edition of that book. It is a GREAT book. It even lists each Mac model. You can get the PDF of that …

This is more trivia now, but it used to be in the old days of System, and I think this is System 6 and before, you could really mess up a Mac by creating a file named .Sony.

Hah, I remember that about the .Sony driver now. Cool. Certainly doesn't ever hurt to rebuild the desktop Bunsen, might as well try it and automatically fix a few other problems …

Is there some specific reason behind that suggestion, Bunsen? / to rebuild the desktop Click to expand... It rang a vague bell with something I've encountered before.

but I've been having some trouble formatting a CF card Click to expand... Some CF and USB memory sticks can only be used with FAT16 or FAT32. They omit the DOS partition table …

Interesting. Anyone know why a 1.2 GB partition fails to format in disk utility then?

Standard HFS can go to 2Gig.

I use a piece of folded paperboard that fits VERY snugly against the flat side of the battery and the case stiffener where the original gasket would've gone. It requires a bit of e…
