    BlueSCSI & SCSI2SD - corruption

    Update; After doing me in, I got my WGS6150 out and put it in, it worked perfectly and went back in 6100 and I had issues, it turned out to be the ribbon cable - somehow it might've been faulty, ever since it has been running perfectly including SCSI2SD external. Cheers AP

    PowerBook 3400/Kanga Battery

    Yep - it gets bricked as soon you disconnect the terminals. I've even had the board powered (to keep the board alive) while working on it didn't work either as It was a good battery that I killed it. I'd be interested to hear from you if you succeed. Cheers AP

    Are all PowerBook 5300 display cables the same?

    No it's different from my rustic memory - I recall that there were 3 different cables for the display in 190/5300 series. Cheers AP

    PowerBook 1400c/166 or 1400cs/166?

    1400c hands down - I do have one. I was given 4x 1400s one had better parts and others were least better parts and started mix'n'match into best 1400s, I turned one into 1400c/166 which I am happy with. I am about to rebuild the battery over the holidays. Cheers AP

    SD to IDE drive replacement for PDQ PowerBook G3

    They're getting cheaper in these days but harder to get, low space ie. 32/64gb/128gb/256gb are appearing in recyclers now which they quietly take them out and I buy a bulk (I have about nearly 15 of them mixed of m.2, mSATA and 3rd party drives - with m.2, theres 3 different types of SSD drives...
