A heavy video conquest — #2
Nice haul, how much RAM in the IIfx? Yellowed much?
Do the monitors work well? I snagged a 19" Supermac a while back and it works nice (trinitron 19" usable).

Two PB190s — #12
I did not know that Apple sold active matrix screens as upgrades for the PowerBook 5300 or 5300cs. Do you have any sources for that information? Such an upgrade program would be …

Picked up, with the help of the giver, two 20-21" monitors. One Rasterops
and one Radius. The two computers had the video cards in them. The MacIIfx has a Rasterops Paintboard Li …
PB 145 and Toshiba Satellite Pro — #1
I was in the thrift shop today and got a PowerBook 145 and Toshiba Pentium notebook PC.
Anyone know if a PB 100 power supply will work on the 145?

I might add to my earlier post that the hitch is that you need to find the right 5300 screen. Most 5300s were passive matrix/ dual scan models, and (with the exception of the 5300c…

Hmm. I was under the impression that as long as it was a Matsushita UJ-x series drivers wouldn't be a problem. That's what I'm looking for now.

That's the first I've heard of that lockup bug. I've just googled it, and found a list of affected CPUs and an Apple Support Forum thread with an official seeming reply.
I'm awai…

Wow, I never thought of making a "540c Plus" by combining a 190 with a 5300's color LCD screen. That's a great idea for a 68k machine, and unlike the 540 it has a lot of modern con…

alright, I got it all set up, hooked up, and I am typing on it now in iCab 3.03 under OS 9.2.2.
One issue I am having is I can not get the Deskjet 812c to work. It's hooked to the…

I have my Lombard (which I got off eBay in the spring of 2006) tricked out with the DayStar G4 upgrade; it's not a huge speedup (just barely fast enough to play DVDs, even with Alt…

Beige's are great machines. I have one that has been working great for me for years. Good quality machine. Almost as good as my 8500, almost.

I have a powerbook 190cs which is actually my main 68k machine. I have a good ethernet pcmcia card so I can connect it to my network and copy files there. I also use it as a localt…

all I know is my head is spinning with all of these video card names. I know about them all, but when you list them all in one post, and connect them, that's a major brain fart

Beachycove's screen transplant suggestion is a wonderful idea. There are (or used to be) stacks of 5300s with bad logic boards but good screens, so finding a source of organ donors…

You can pop the active matrix screen from a PB5300c on one and make a plain-Jane 190 into a rather nice colour 68k powerbook. I am pretty sure that the 190 cannot take advantage of…

People say "Rage IIc", but they really mean Rage II+DVD (the two are virtually the same thing, and the underlying 2D/3D acceleration of the II+DVD is the same as the IIc). I've ne…

Great! It is always good to get a pair of machines since the one that doesn't work can be used as a spares machine. It sounds like you now have plenty to play around with!

Got a call from work asking if I wanted some PowerBook 190s. They came with AC adapters (one's dead.) One 190 works fine, the other has a dead display? Nothing shows up, but it chi…

The BIV would be a Rage IIc...the Rage II was basically a redesigned Mach64. On top of that, those were the only three chips that Apple used on the Beige G3s: The Rage IIc, Rage II…
