Widget drive — #6
I've powered up a Widget standalone to ensure that it was passing its internal tests (there's a video on youtube) but beyond that you require ALL of the guts of a Lisa to do much e…

Yes. A Macintosh XL is a Lisa 2/10 with a square pixel video mod. If it doesn't have the video…

You can't use it on any other computer other than a Lisa 2/10. You could power it up but be prepared for the sound of jet engine taking off. Other than seeing if it spins up, th…

"Just a case and monitor" - no logic board then? It's just an empty case?
From what I understand, the Wiget is a parallel hard drive, so it's not usable on a Mac.
You might want…

I own a "former Macintosh XL". Just a case and monitor. I would like to restore it. Now it looks like mission impossible ...... but I just started.
This week I bought a Widget HD.…
PPC Powerbook PRAM Battery Sources — #1
I was thinking about replacing the lithium PRAM battery in my 5300c, because it's dead. I also bought a replacement NiMH PRAM battery for my impending 3400c. I opted not to buy t…

On that note, does anyone have or know of where to find Fuser or Fissioner? I'm not sure they're necessary at this point, but all the available tutorials seem to be specific to tho…
PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #2
I should have put a question mark on superseding. It's a proposal-topic. It just seems like there's next to nothing on 3400 repairs.

PowerBook 3400c Repair Stories — #1
I'm hoping this can be a repository for specific repair help/information for the Powerbook 3400c. Macdrone has been doing sort of research/experimentation on repairing some of his…

Never mnid.
I found a Newer Technology drive enclosure initially meant for a Mac Mini. I put the hard drive in there and just accessing it on the Ubuntu box is so much faster …

I reset the BIOS on the Bay trail machine and it now has Ubuntu 14.04 installed and sharing its wifi connection over ethernet. I tried Linux Mint Mate 17.1 but couldn't find a sim…

The font aspect I know is possible (in theory), though I'd have to track down my research on the font templates.
At the time, this predated my use of emulators, so I had no deve…

On the Newton? I doubt it. Japanese is somewhat possible but even then the support isn't great.
You'd have better luck turning off HWR and just letting it clean up what you draw.

I can't believe there'd be ingest on this list, and my research (years ago) never led me to conclude it's necessarily possible... By this I meant handwriting recognition sorry.

Is this a power board problem? Because if so I'd probably like to try and get my money back on the replacement board.

Personally, I like the look and feel of the 1400c. But i also like the sound of the 3400c.
But I also have more Duos than I know what to do with. All color.
If I were faced in …

If your 3400 works, for the love of all things holy, check the PRAM battery and if it's old get it out of there...

While I have the Bay Trail machine working again I may either leave the iBook there or try my Lombard to see if it can handle sharing its connection since either of them would take…

Dump the 1400c IMO. That's the easiest one to pick back up if you ever wanted to. You've got the 3400c for the speed demon, the other one can be less practical, and I'd keep that D…

Pending my giving away of a 165c, I have three PowerBook's left, and I have to get rid of at least one system for space reasons.

I took some voltage measurements, though not very systematically. On the logic board, I measured between ~1 and 3.5 volts (and nothing in places). On the power board, I got a ran…
