Macintosh Portable — #29

H3NRY's suggestion was right on the money. After a bit of fiddling, Akane the Portable comes right up. The magic numbers were 9V and 3A. Hard disk was initially recalcitrant, but s…

Classic II Corrosion: Am I Screwed? — #24

iBook G4 — #7

I've taken the topcase of an old G3 iBook without damaging it by shimming the plastic carefully with toothpicks. Mind you, you'll lose a few toothpicks this way, but they'll break…

Macintosh Portable — #28

Yeah, I paid something like $500 for the privilege of owning a 2c FPD and I think within an hour or two, I had already yanked off the clear plastic lens which made it a bit worse. …

Bundleconquest (My first working haul) — #22

Great score on the CC. I myself have an SEFD so I can understand the compact lust. Minus the 2300 that I would love to have and possible a 660AV, the CC is on my top 5 list of ma…
