A great feature of xpostfacto is the possibility/necessity to use any disk supported in the early boot process as a helper disk and to boot afterwards into any other disk supported…

You can also run Jaguar natively on the machine as it was supported. I too have had many problems with running the bus at 83MHz and using more than 1 HDD, which is sad because the…

Cubes are fun machines. When you put it all back together, was everything nice and tight and all cables run in their appropriate channels? Due to their compact design, things c…

Hmm I have one of of those little gems, and I can tell you they are very nice indeed. However I have mine now in the back room gathering dust after my cat walked across my keyboar…

Tick the box that says don't automount this volume in properties?

I recently picked up an Apple IIc with monitor, and although the IIc is working perfectly the monitor appears to be completely dead. Having stripped it down I've discovered that th…

I have iBook screws, so nothing to worry about in that aspect.

Just an FYI, it's a huge pain in the ass to do sort of drive replacement on a 12" PB.

Just for the hell of it, I decided to look into this problem again. I was FINALLY able to get all of my data off the drive that was in there, when it crapped out. So I stuck it bac…

Hi, I saw a post about recelling a 500 series intelligent battery and it got me wondering if anyone has had any luck with recelling a Duo's NIMH battery. I love my 2300c to death,…

When I connect it to another machine in SCSI Disk Mode, only the 4GB partition shows up, and I can transfer data to and from it with no problems.If you should try this, and both pa…

Slot load drives, no matter what brand, will still break under heavy usage, especially if often used for writing discs. You don't have much choice with your PowerBook, but normally…

I see absolutely no signs of a 6 GB hard drive limit. I'm using a 40 GB hard drive (Apple ROMed) in mine. Click to expand... There is a 4GB limit for SCSI Disk Mode...if you ha…

These upgrade cards, their speeds, the differences between them, etc. is probably the most well documented of the powerbook upgrades out there. Compares Sonnet's upgrade cards: h…

I agree about the Pioneer drives. I've never had bad luck with one, either personally or in the field.

Interesting. Is there an objective, side-by-side analysis of 1400 upgrade cards that show performance, heat, and power impacts? I've also got a 333 MHz Sonnet card that I bought …

I know this is a bit off topic, but the 233 Vimage G3 upgrade, IMHO, is not worth the effort. It runs too hot and bleeds the battery. All the best. Click to expand... The batt…

Sometimes it can be quirky. So some restarts. Make sure TCP/IP is set to your WAVELAN card, and that you are connecting via DCHP. Set AppleTalk to infrared just to mitigate any …

Well, I decided to import the "lost" posts last night. At first, I wasn't going to bother because I thought it was only 300 or less posts, but after I ran an SQL query to compare t…
