My Pismos' menu bar has vanished... help? — #3
It sure seems like a software problem. At the very worst, reinstalling OS X should fix it.

Manuals for a PISMO — #4
Thanks Guys for the advise. I have removed the main battery and plugged in the pram battery and plugged in the charger. I will leave it on overnight and see what that does.

You might be able to boot up from the os x disk and repair permissions.

Okay,
I need some help on this one...
My wife (bless her soul) has killed another PB, first my lombard, then my DVI and now my pismo.
Alright, it was dead after she got "just a …
Now ~that's~ rare! — #4
An Apple IIc LCD popped up on there a while back - cheap - the auction ended early for around $150 I reckon. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the very same one with a highly inf…

I remember seeing this in 2010 where Roy Scheider sits on the beach using one. It actually holds up pretty well as a laptop you'd see in 2010, except for the ribbon cable connector…

Yes, but I'm not sure it's $999.95 worth or rare. Since the auction ended with no bidders, I'm guessing most are in agreement. Perhaps a relative of one of our unmentionable US sel…

Backup (not just pram) batteries have several functions in a powerbook, so that it is unwise to rely on a powerbook without a functional backup battery. The Pismo in particular wil…

For once, the overused eBay buzzword "RARE!!!ZOMGLOLBBQ!!!1101!!" is totally justified. And the price, though high, has some level of realism, considering.

The PRAM battery in pismos is rechargeable. It recharges after the main battery is full. It should be possible to operate with a dead PRAM battery.
The long time necessary to ho…

Anyone know where one can find manuals.
I just picked up a PISMO and would like to have a user manual and/or a repair manual. It has a dead main battery and the pram has been dis…
What the heck happened??? — #31
I got my adapter today and popped the 80 GB drive into my G3. After a little playing around with the Silverlining software, I can access *ALL* of the files on my disk! Copying them…
Ports! — #5
I do it on my iMac all the time.
Power: i would hope so
Mini-DVI: connected to 18"CRT
Ethernet: wired to PowerMac G4 for uber fast transfers
Firewire 800: don't have anything t…
Ports! — #4
Apart from the modem port and the Audio In port, usually my PowerBook G4 has all the ports in use.
Ethernet is connected to a 5-port switch which is the core of the wired portion …

I've had all the ports on my MacBook bar the line in use once a few months back:
Power: Duh!
Ethernet: Crossover cable to a customer's laptop, with the MacBook acting as a bridge…

I had all the ports of my PowerBook 150 (SCSI Ethernet, Localtalk to PB 180 and Power).
I also had all the ports on my Acer Aspire One filled (Power, VGA, Ethernet, USB DVD-ROM, i…
Yet another 2400c problem — #4
That's interesting. There were no jumpers on the drive, were there? Sometimes drive manufacturers or resellers will ship drives with jumpers installed, as some computers need to ha…

Just another one of those curiosity threads, but who has actually managed to use all the ports on their 'Book? I just managed it a little earlier, and things got a little scrambled…

thanks all for the great and quick input. I'm far from a techy, so I'm proceeding very slowly... here's summary what I've found:

Search for the "Lisa/Macintosh XL Do-it-yourself Guide" from Sun Remarketing. It is largely a reprint of Larry Pina's guide to basic Lisa repair.
Off the top of my head, I'd recom…

Someone already collected enough information to set up a recent IDE harddisk drive to make up to 32 MB of disk space available for the Lisa. Flash memory is also supported. The aut…
Lisa troubleshooting — #4
Memory is not the culprit if you only get two low beeps. I had a bad board (which I had to replace with a spare I bought on eBay) and it was a low beep (an E-flat) followed by two …

There are some people online that probably have experienced that exact problem with a Lisa 2 and could tell you exactly how to fix it. I would wait a while and see if you can find…

From what I've seen, older computers are most often plagued by capacitor problems - I'd check the caps first. If they're bad, search the forum for 'capacitor' and you'll get a good…

I have a Lisa 2 (XL I think). It booted-up and ran fine 5 years ago, but now, when I push the start button, I get two low beeps (memory?) and a screen that looks like a beehive and…
