PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #10

Link you've posted to refers to resetting the SMC (system management controller), which is analogous with Intel Macs - kind of like resetting the PRAM/CUDA on pre-Intel Macs.  Not …

PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #9

I know this is a totally different ROM, and I know nothing about Macbooks so I don't even know if this info is correct, but there's no way, right... ?  https://www.ifixit.com/Answe…

Also the HD spins before the screen powers on.  I get no impression the floppy module does anything - but that may just mean it's not getting to a disk check - which should probabl…

Looking for RGB cable for Apple IIgs — #1

Hello guys, I found a very nice IIgs with monitor and drives. I works great, but I can't connect it to the RGB screen as I don't have the proper cable. Does anyone have a spare t…

Has there been any progress on Internet capability from the underlying system or system's drivers?

PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #7

With or without the PRAM battery, actually, it chimes infrequently and only through the speaker panel; but it comes on most of the time - not always.  It's worth noting that my 530…

That was a slightly inaccurate description.  It would chime, and I could soft reset, but it would shut down within 5 seconds of chime.  The first time it might have actually restar…

PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #3

I got the second PB 3400c today.  The battery was still in (both, actually).  When plugged in, it'd make the popping (probably speaker) sound and sometimes the screen's charging-li…

Sounds like you've got this all figured out then. With such a brilliantly deductive and fertile mind as yours it's a wonder you bother asking questions of us ignoramuses at all.

You can flash other ROMs (in fact, that's not really needed - you can start Linux from an .exe in CE) - but the fact absolutely nothing will work (memory mappings, chips, etc) make…

I guess what I really meant was flashing the ROM to something other than a factory default.  Maybe one can do that.  [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410156] SA-1…

Windows CE isn't multiuser. You always have "root," because there is no concept of it. As for just jumping a ROM: Yeah, no. There's hardware initiliazation, hardware differences, …

So the SA-110, which is ARMv4, seems to have its most 'modern' successor in the SA-1110.  So I think I'm going to get an iPAQ. That presupposes one can actually root it.

Where would I get a $10 phone? I haven't asserted any facts. (That second sentence is a non sequitur in relation to the first.)
