That's a nice looking card and matching heatsink! As mentioned an upgrade like this will work just as well in a 7300/7500/7600 than an overpriced 8600/9600.

WinAmpMac - the one and only beta release - is my go to program for playback on lowly PPC MP3 playback, it also works well with VBR and other oddly encoded MP3s which early versions of iTunes, SoundJam can have some difficulty with. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/winampmac

Can confirm, even though the molds look the same as older PowerBooks, the plastic is so much cheaper and prone to long cracks in the housings, have bought three of these and they all break in very similar ways. Can be a good vintage machine though with onboard IDE but don't bother with it...

In terms of reliability, 500 series hands down

That looks like a hacked site, there is a thread on MacRumors relatively up to date information https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/mintppc-project.2202016/page-28

Every time I forget about that catch pulling apart a IIci/Q700 :p A fine Phillips screwdriver slid down unclips it. Don’t forget the screw on the plastic HD/floppy bracket to remove that part.

Haha awesome, the Mac edition and flashed cards good?

It won’t be detected

They’re great laptops. The RAM is tricky - you need specific modules for the 2400c, standard EDO RAM does not work. 32/64 MB modules can be found usually on Japanese auction sites, the 96MB modules are very rare specific to the model.

Cardbus is already enabled on the 3400/3500 with some cards physically not fitting, I think the only useful card was a MacAlly USB card that fitted OK and wifi Orinoco Gold or Silver cards could work with third party drivers. https://fweb.wallawalla.edu/~frohro/Cardbus/Cardbus.html The 2400...

The HD probably hadn't been fired up for some time and your testing gave it a last gasp before complete failure. Being an early Quantum it's probably a disk head crash and not repairable.

Thanks Josh looks like adapters and plug it into a PC, format to anything and hook it back up. Suppose a 2.5 to 3.5 50 pin SCSI adapter can be useful in the toolbox. Gotta be said it Disklock seems a pretty secure lockdown for the 90’s! You apparently created a super user boot floppy which let...

Hi all, I'm currently restoring a PowerBook 520c, which has a 320MB 2.5" SCSI HD but presents with a startup password request via Norton Disklock (~ 1994 dated driver). Booting from CD it won't even detect the SCSI drive in Apple System Profiler or HD formatting tool. The computer unusually...

It's a cloning video output adapter, so you could display the B&W image externally on a projector; something like a TTL/monochrome monitor might do it but be prepared for some tinkering.

The discoloration possibly comes from degrading adhesives, pressure, heat - not really fixable unless you want to replace the LCD, replacement of polarizing film would help however you're not guaranteed of a complete fix and finding a matching polarizer can be difficult at times. SSDs: I find...

Yes there doesn’t seem much of a neat way to interchange it between 128/512, sockets yes

Hi all, I've 2 x original Mac 128K with "bit rot" on the memory of both boards. One board is untouched while the other has a couple of odd RAM chips replaced from past repairs. I'd like to replace all RAM in the Macs, recap analogue board, rebuild keyboard and service all floppy drives. For...

I think that adapter is compatible with AIO 575, 580 and 5x00 and 6x00 machines (including the TAM) - they all have this slot. They are quite useful adapters to have in some Macs, especially to plug in to projectors and CRT/LCD with no loss in quality

Anything can happen with a bad cap (especially if a dead short) and check for damage elsewhere.

Nice - is that the one with the ROM upgrade and Happy Mac (with fangs) icon?
