Title says it all.

Recently got a 7200 from a friend at college that is missing most hardware, including a power supply. My 6400 is currently redundant (as I got a 6500), so I'm using part from that for the 7200. Will the 6400's PSU work/fit in the 7200?

For my winter break I'll be continuing my development of MacRefLib. Won't be submitting it as a Retrochallenge entry this time around, but will be hoping to reach the 1997 model year by Mid January when college starts again. Still in college right now though - last final is the 20th - so don't...

It's been quite a while since getting a conquest this good, but here it is. Yesterday I was walking around the Chemical Engineering building on my college's campus, turned a corner, and saw a cart filled with a variety of obsolete equipment. A split second later, I recognized the back of a 6500...

The 520 boards, if anything like the 575 boards, are not very complex (at least not as much as that of a IIci). Caps are the only SMT items that would cause a problem but I doubt one would have radically failed in as little time as a month. Check the loom/board connector. Make sure 520 board...

Found some drivers from Farallon and Proxim. Let's see if they work...

On the back it says: 0000C5561965 and below a bar code: 8960851-00-02

The blasted floppy I kept my copy on decided to go corrupt itself on the way over to college. Mac Driver Museum's links are dead too. Anyone have a copy of this driver they could give me?

Today I'm proud to announce that I used my MP 2100 to take notes for an entire period of Chem 121! It worked out fine. I used HW recognition mode for outlining and ink text for examples/equations. It was useful and fun! (ANYTHING to make Chem 121 more interesting. Chem is my least favorite...

I noticed that the battery life on my MP2100 is really bad. I never get the 30 hour life touted by Newton fans - instead, I usually get 2 hrs. at best. The mystery is that the NiMH cells I use in the Newton - each with a capacity of 2500 mAh - are more powerful than the cells used in the Newton...

What size of battery is used in the MP2100 for clock and RAM backup?

Any other suggestions, anyone?

@Trash80toHP_Mini It's a 'c. Display is fine except one full-on blue subpixel. I hide it with the Stuffit Expander icon; it's not noticeable. Backlight does seem a bit dim outdoors though.

My PB 1400 was showing that characteristic cracking on the rear display case cover, on either side of the Apple logo. I attempted to repair this (by strengthening the area with glue) but managed to destroy the -very Spindlery- mount points for the left hinge. It's beyond repair - too much...

I was just wondering, what are the pros of buying a MessagePad 2000 series over the 100/200 series models? I don't mean in terms of performance - what features will I get? And can either sync with IMAP (Gmail) email systems?
