Are you sure the keyboard is broken? You could of just knocked the card bay into place that time.

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…

The 233 bondi blues aren't worth much, maybe $20. The G4 upgrade is worth more, probably at least $100 because of the rarity.

As a 2400c owner and lover, this is quite cool to see. Thanks for putting them up! TBird

I did what you suggested LCGuy, but it still only plays the "death chimes" Edit: I went a little further and found out the PCMCIA card bay was loose, that fixed my "death chime" i…

Have you tried booting it up in a "barebones" configuration? By that, I mean, only the onboard RAM, no HDD, no expansion bay device, no video out/ethernet card, no PC cards, etc. I…

I would have looked at the Sad Mac, but none shows on the screen. My HDD is perfectly fine, but thanks for your help anyway.

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…

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

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…

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…

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