I've gotten the pointer to pop up.  Neither trackpad will move the pointer, but an ADB mouse will [ADB port - check], and the trackpads will move the pointer with the ADB mouse plu…

And this is VGA output. Unsurprisingly, the HD thing did not work.

If the 5300c has the same basic boot sequence (which I'm using to mean everything up to and including booting) then this seems to not be the case.  I'm going to install anyway and …

Well the thrust of that link has to do with some obscure [or he's wrong because this make little sense to me] issue with a dead HD preventing any booting and the flashing disk.  Th…

Link you've posted to refers to resetting the SMC (system management controller), which is analogous with Intel Macs - kind of like resetting the PRAM/CUDA on pre-Intel Macs.  Not …

I know this is a totally different ROM, and I know nothing about Macbooks so I don't even know if this info is correct, but there's no way, right... ?  https://www.ifixit.com/Answe…

Also the HD spins before the screen powers on.  I get no impression the floppy module does anything - but that may just mean it's not getting to a disk check - which should probabl…

The same cable used on the Mac II to 13 inch color, LC to 12 inch color or b/w is the same cable for the IIgs. Make sure its the thick cable with all 15 pins on the heads. The thin…

Hello guys, I found a very nice IIgs with monitor and drives. I works great, but I can't connect it to the RGB screen as I don't have the proper cable. Does anyone have a spare t…

Thank you. I'll check it out. I mostly use it on android but I have it on OS X. I'LL PM you. I have some broader NewtonOS questions.

Einstein development has picked up on GitHub at https://github.com/pguyot/Einstein. Paul Guyot returned to make some fixes and migrate it from Google Code to GitHub, Steven Frank h…

Has there been any progress on Internet capability from the underlying system or system's drivers?

With or without the PRAM battery, actually, it chimes infrequently and only through the speaker panel; but it comes on most of the time - not always.  It's worth noting that my 530…

Thanks for the response.  I didn't fire it up right away but I didn't let it thoroughly dry per se (I really went at it with the hairdryer - very thoroughly - including opening tha…

raoulduke said: I promptly disassembled it, removed the PRAM battery (which was not dead).  There was a little bit of very confined corrosion but in general the board is in f…

That was a slightly inaccurate description.  It would chime, and I could soft reset, but it would shut down within 5 seconds of chime.  The first time it might have actually restar…

I got the second PB 3400c today.  The battery was still in (both, actually).  When plugged in, it'd make the popping (probably speaker) sound and sometimes the screen's charging-li…

Super! Thanks very much for the power information. I will try to get an ATX power unit.

Sounds like you've got this all figured out then. With such a brilliantly deductive and fertile mind as yours it's a wonder you bother asking questions of us ignoramuses at all.

I had already bought it by the time you posted.  Worst case scenario, I wind up with a bigmessowires... (a cha cha cha cha) Honestly Gorgonops, I don't know that much about the st…

Save your $10, it's not going to work. It's not even going to fail in an interesting way. It might be good for a laugh if it could at least partly boot up or something, but it won'…

You can flash other ROMs (in fact, that's not really needed - you can start Linux from an .exe in CE) - but the fact absolutely nothing will work (memory mappings, chips, etc) make…
