Wow, awesome...thanks for the info and link, MidnightCommando and ~Coxy!

just clone your sawtooth's OS onto the ibook (assuming the sawtooth has tiger) using something like CCC. that should work at least as a temporary fix until you can fix everything t…

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! Click to expand... Only the machines with Old World ROMs. Anything B&W G3/Pismo an…

Thanks, worked like a charm. Now up and running on OS 9. If only I can shoehorn X on here. I've tried 5 discs, 3 of them retail, 1 a copy of the retail and the 5th I have no clu…

LCGUY beat me to it. It shipped from the factory with a G3 and is supported by OS X. So yes, it does belong in this list.

In the Airport control panel there's a check box for "Allow selection of closed networks", which when checked will allow selecting "Other" under network, which in turn will allow e…

There are tech and electronics savvy members who occasionally visit who could tell you more about testing the ps with multimeters and such. What I can say is that the P600 ps appe…

Indeed, I guess it's not so rare after all! Here's a very useful webpage I just stumbled upon with nice, clear black and white illustrations of many network cards, covering the in…

Personally, I love the 1400 series mostly because the 1400 was my first ever PowerBook, which I've had since new. While yes, they are very upgradable for a PowerBook, I have to adm…

Why would you be banned for talking positively about a 68k over a PPC, on a 68k-related board? I fully agree. The 1400-series is interesting, sure... But the 68k's are where the…

So the monitor is an Apple Two Page Display. I have a couple of nubus two page display cards, but have never seen one of the monitors except in photos. But the stand allowing for v…

I used a TPD once. For its time it was amazing, felt like I was editing in Pagemaker on a jumbotron.

I'd imagine it is, its an Apple Two Page Display...those things cost an absolute bomb back in the day and would've probably only really been sold to people who were into desktop pu…

Hmm, there are very few caps on the board that I can see, but none of them appear to have leaked. The logic board looks nice and clean.

I know I'm going to get banned for this, but: I couldn't care less about the 1400s. Yes they were great machines, expandable, and all that. However I just don't like them for some…

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact…

Weird. Googling for terms such as: OS 9 Hidden SSID OS 9 Airport Hidden OS 9 Connect to hidden SSID and such return 0 results. I highly doubt Apple is scrubbing all OS 9 info…

I'd begin by inspecting the logic board for capacitor leakage. My first Mac (bought new) was a P600 too.

So we ought to have there something Apple-branded that very few of us have ever seen.... Anyone have one? The monitor is also very rare, isn't it?

Has anyone seen the clear eMate? This reminds me of that. Very cool!

My 540C actually had its little "PowerBook 540C" badge replaced with "PowerPC" so I'm thinking it used to have an official Apple PPC upgrade. Unfortunately, it's just 68k still

I've had three 500s (my first was when I was about 12 or so) and I believe it's a loose socket on the PowerBook. My current 540C has this problem. It works well enough that you can…

Interested in a PowerBook Duo 2300c with Duo Dock? Check out seattle.craigslist.org under computers.

The only Mac I have that I would be able to do that with is a first-gen 12" PowerBook G4, and I don't feel like ripping hard drives out of either system. (I do have a spare 2.5" h…

As much as I love Linux, my vote goes for 9.1. I'm getting old and just want my computers to work with minimal fuss. I don't really use OS 9 for browsing on an extended basis, ju…
