yeah, I have one of these beasts. I upgraded the RAM heavily, and put in a large 20gb HD. For the longest time it was booting with no video, but something told me to give it anothe…

If a programmer ceases support of a product they should either make an unprotected full version available for distribution...their software will be made available in unprotected fo…

Ooooooooo..... That implies you could do the same job on a 2300 - if you can find the clock jumpers

Sorry, my eyes glaze over at five-line sentences.

Wow.... It's a early ModBook!

Check it out. I am considering picking it up, just for collectibility, but the price still seems a bit steep. Compared to the few I have seen in the past though, it still seems to…

Sounds like a bad HD to me as well. 75% of the time a bad OS access generates that type of behavior. I would try both the CD and Firewire drive methods mentioned above. I had a TiB…

Unfortunately not all programmers have copyright over their own code in the first place. If they're developing to hire, their employer may own the rights, and if the employer fold…

Does anybody know how to set the processor clock on one of these? I have enough spare parts that I'd like to try upgrading the processor to a faster chip, like a 180 or 200MHz mode…

Did you try booting the thing from CD or FireWire or anything? Could just be a corrupted installation or a bad hard drive. I would've checked those first. As for capacitors, yes, …

Hi, My dad has a platinum PowerBook G4 laptop that has been acting strange lately. When you hit the power button, a gray screen comes up and the little wheel made up of lines fac…

ive got one sitting around in my garage collecting dust

Thats a good machine you got there, hold onto it.

In spite of what I said above, I do think that if a programmer ceases support of a product they should either make an unprotected full version available for distribution or else co…

Yeah! Quit yer whinin' and get codin' Click to expand... The last time I did that, a computer howled in pain. And that was just six lines of code.

I have noticed very little "free" software for my newtons, most of it is shareware. Click to expand... How much software have you written and distributed for free? Click to …

The 12 display is a DS 800x600 (or whatever the mac resolution is). Are the hinges loose? Major issues with wallstreets is the 2 cables that are along the hing to the LCD get cut …

There are two connectors to check on those. One is on the mid-left of the machine, under the keyboard, to the right of the PCMCIA card cage and cooling fan. It's covered mostly by…

Good to hear you got it going. I second what Ben said - before you buy anything, try reseating the keyboard cable, or failing that, cleaning the contacts.

I just bought a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet. It was sold as working from ebay. I open it up and turn it on and BOOM! Lines allover the LCD. The LCD is fine, but it looks like some kind…

What he said. Sadly, CRTs are pretty much "out of fashion now", including most of the iMac G3 models, meaning that they sell for quite little and even go for free. Your iMac is wor…

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…
