Does anyone have the pinout for the internal keyboard connector on the PB1400? The one that I had declared "dead" works just fine hooked up to external monitor and kb/mouse with t…

the old ones are pretty easy to develop for, so instead of killing people all day you could make math blaster for intellivision or maybe a telnet client on a atari 2600

games system wise - what would people be doing with them? playing space invaders for a month instead of call of duty?

I recently purchased two parts Pismos 400s that I have combined into one. I am not sure what I am going to do with it now that it is done (eBay, maybe), but I have a question about…

Good advice always, Bunsen, thanks. I'll post a progress report when the patient is off the table...

That's certainly a cheap fix. Be patient with the teardown, and keep track of your screws. BTW, in case it wasn't clear from LC_Guy's reply above, the "Kanga" G3 Powerbook logic …

I would say anything pre 3d

I dunno- I think that's pushing it. Pre-Pentium sounds about right to me. As for game systems, make the cutoff be by bit count on the main processor. 8 bit, say. That would keep th…

If you want to make a trip down to Deptford I have a B&W board with a 400mhz chip you can have for free. I have a power supply too if you want it.

Thanks for everyone's comments. I think I'm ready to pull the switch on this! I will check and see if they have the 240mhz board; but for $20 + ship, the 200 may be the most cost-e…

Thanks for all the info. Going to spend next weekend maxing out my Radius 81.

KANSAS CITY, MO — December 22, 2009 — Mark Simonsen, employee number three and later owner of Beagle Bros, will be the keynote speaker at KansasFest 2010. At Beagle Bros, whose pop…

Good point, I had already tried it in the beige, though. It didn't seem break anything. I can't think of anything I did to mess up the B&W when installing the G4. When I w…

We'll see how the CPU swap goes before I decide on overclocking. I actually have a Q605 and an LC475 as well as two 68040 donor machines, so I have some room for error. My end goal…

another interesting open application http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/13986 that i had to use in my QS G4 when signed into OS 9 because i could not figure out how t…

stay tuned for more details

Ah yes, I forgot about the 240MHz model.

Haha, looks like I've been beat. Oh well, this thing is still quite a quirky toy. I've got a spare 80GB HDD and I figure, if I can ever find a cable for the external CD, I'll loa…

The other one I want is an early HP OmniBook 300. The early ones were fun, they had a 'pop-out mouse-on-a-stick' (the mouse was permanently attached via a moveable rod, it would s…

Christmas came sort of early for me this year, well last year now. I gots my hands on a 17 inch iMac (G4/800), a snow iBook (G3/800), and a Bondi iMac (G3/233). The Bondi's drive…

Or better yet, track down a board from a 3400/240, the fastest stock pre-G3 PowerBook ever. (or just track down a Kanga board)

While you have it apart, why not shoot for 225MHz? That would make it the fastest non-G3/G4 Powerbook ever

nb: 40MHz is not always stable though. A heatsink/fan for the 040 would be a good idea. http://homepage.mac.com/schrier/q605_40.html Output Enablers sell some useful parts. …
