My LC475 has a 128mb SIMM in it.... (it takes a looooong time to memory test at boot...) Click to expand... wow !! Do you have the reference of this SIMM ? I was happy to hav…

Let me guess... the first thing you did was open MacPaint and write "hello" on the screen.

... So can I just format it with one of the programs on the utilities disk or can I format it with transmac from my PC? I just might make a file server out of it for some other mac…

This is good info on powerbooks. I have a 150 and soon I'm going to have a 145b and some 100s that I think just need an os. I want to know how hard it is to put a new hard drive in…

I had another go at the cables in the PB145 tonight, paying particular attention to the display cable that connects to the inverter board, adjacent to the keyboard cables exposed w…

The Macintosh Performa 600 (aka Macintosh IIvi) was a bit of a crippled machine. They reused many aged components from older machines, most notably the memory and SCSI controllers.…

My PowerBook 165 (not 165c, my B&W 165) does kinda the same thing. The screen is completely dark on the bottom, and the slightest movement of the contrast switch makes the…

Yeah, I really like it too. Same here, I have plenty of space/bandwidth
