Blueberry iBook Clamshell £21 on eBay — #11
If possible, I'd go for a regular AirPort card and skip the USB dongle. Airport works effortlessly and at least here in the States, they have gotten really cheap over the past yea…

Drive not recognized — #3
I managed to get it working after some research. It looks like Western Digital drives can't be used with the jumper in the neutral position. They must be assigned as either master …
Blueberry iBook Clamshell £21 on eBay — #10
Also, just missed out on a Lombard that went for 21 pounds (I bid 20). I think it was a Lombard, I spent hours looking at pics and specs trying to find out.

Portable Backlit (not backlit) — #8
led acid batteries are usually not that picky, but its best to see what the one inside of it is marked as and try to match it up best you can
How common was the LC III — #7
In the consumer market, the LC III was sold as the Performa 450. It's identical except for the sticker on the front of the case, and some accessories that came bundled with it.

Mac Classic Acting 'funny' — #4
Good news! It was a bad mouse after all. Everything is working now. I think I may have fried the one mouse by hot swapping it when the Mac was on (I know that's a big no-no). …
1400 keyboard connector pinout? — #12
The trouble with that however is that the required circuitry which adapts the keyboard to run on the ADB bus is built into the logic board. The only hope that you might have is if …
How common was the LC III — #6
I can confirm that the LCIII definitely does support 24 bit mode, in fact when an LCIII has a flat PRAM battery, or no PRAM battery, it boots up in 24 bit mode by default. And it d…
1400 keyboard connector pinout? — #11
If anybody gets around to mapping the key matrix and ribbon cable, I would be interested. If I am not mistaken, Apple still used ADB protocol in old Duos and PowerBooks, so I would…
How common was the LC III — #5
For that Apple IIe card keep in mind IIRC you need to run that in 24-bit mode. 32-bit mode won't work. So the IIe card in a LC III may not work since I"m not sure you can run t…
Titanium 1GHz and OS9 — #5
I just bought a "new" (for me!) 1 GHz TiBook this month, and yes, it screams in OS 9. It will only run a later version of 9.2.2. And as for speed of indexing files, it is not too b…
Powerbook 1400 Browsing Speed — #9
I love my PB1400. IMO it is only practical for browsing text-based stuff. It's like my old Performa 6200cd on the web - it was barely acceptable in the late 90s when the net was mo…

For example, this one could be OK?

Power Mac G4 MDD Cooling — #24
It is crazy all this nontroversy about the 4600 Ti card. Yes, it is big. But you can see in the pictures that he has PCI fan on the other side of it anyway. I have this same card a…
Beige G3 or iMac G3? — #25
A nice thing about B&W G3 and Yikes G4 is that they are the last macs with the older style ADB connectors for keyboard and mouse. This expands your options also beyond USB …
Web browser for OS X 10.2.8 — #8
I would probably look in the Omniweb archives to see what runs on Jaguar.
Mac Classic Acting 'funny' — #3
Ok I tried both the internal OS and a different keyboard, same issue. I guess something might have gotten knocked loose when I was cleaning it. I'll try and reflow the solder this…
Assembling the Fastest OS 9 Machine — #47
Hi all - I have been away for a couple of years, but am back at my old Mac antics.
Last week I bought what looks like the fastest PowerBook, a 1GHz Titanium. These machines appear…
How common was the LC III — #4
Yes, both of my LC III's were from a school. I think the guy I got them from had a trailer full of them.
LC's and the AIO LC models must have been very popular with schools and th…
How common was the LC III — #3
They were pretty popular in schools. I haven't looked for any recently, but schools were littered with them (and LC II's) in the 90's.
How common was the LC III — #2
The LCIII wasn't quite as common as the LCII, for one thing it cost a bit more than the LCII, but I'd think it was still a bit common. My Dad bought an LCIII back in 1993, and I re…

Sorry. I don't know where is the error.
In any case, please try this other. It seems to work.

Thanx
How common was the LC III — #1
I'm wondering how popular the LC III was (or not)?
Reason, I don't encounter hardly any of them where I look. Even on ebay they seem scarce.
I figured, I want one of those since …
Mac Classic Acting 'funny' — #2
possibly cracked solder joints under the ADB jack. Try re-flowing the solder. Check the fuse at F2, it may need to be replaced. If both check out, try re-flowing the solder to the …
Mac Classic Acting 'funny' — #1
My Mac Classic has started to ask strangely. It boots up just fine from the internal HD or from a disk and everything looks alright but I can't click on anything reliably with the…
