As it turns out, the hard drive was not the problem. The System 7.6 CD was. That is why I kept getting random freezes. I got the PowerBook 150 Enabler from Apple's website, loaded…

I did some research and found that the SWIM and pretty close to the IWM. I took a look at the Linux Mac floppy driver code and apparently a command is sent to the drive it switch i…

Hope life doesn't throw too much on your plate mate - do take care, and thanks for all your hard work with this collection of hoodlums over time!

PC66-133 will work, just the 66 stuff will downclock the bus speed to the 66mhz that the memory can handle. Other than that you'll be ok. Click to expand... If the bus is great…

I like IIcis so much that when I had the chance a couple years ago, I grabbed four of them. They had all been clustered together as some sort of server; I forget the specifics, but…

I bet Trash80 feels left out... Click to expand... Nope, not a bit! Admin's not my bag, wouldn't know where to begin. I had to pass on Tom's offer over on 'fritter to take over…

Did you know you can upgrade the CPU to a full Core Duo if you wish? Click to expand... 8-o News to me!

Yep, all PowerBook floppy drives have doors. The reason as to why the eject hole is in a different place on yours is that the PowerBook 150 uses a manual inject floppy drive, same …

~tl posts infrequently. Look at his profile.

I'm with Wally. I only understood about 10% of what he was talking about, but I'm with Wally.

Page 293 in the normally authoritative source differs with reality. 8-o Two actual SE/30 boards before me have a current limiting device, F1 in the ADB power net. In one inst…

It probably isn't too difficult. You'll want to follow this guide, or one like it. http://blog.costan.us/2009/03/ubuntu-810-or-904-on-mac-mini.html It explains how to install an …

Bump I finally got around to trying this out, but haven't had much success so far. I borrowed an Adaptec 29160N card from a friend, which has a 50-pin connector, and hooked up the…

What do you think of the screen? I have read much derision being poured on the PB150 screen, but this, I suspect, is based on the specs:year of manufacture ratio rather than what i…

The IIfx has a 1A fuse between the SWIM chip and the RFI filter, the SE and SE30 do not. There is a 470 Ohm resister in line with the 5VDC line powering the ADB signal line, that …
