    68net - a modern SCSI to Ethernet board

    I have a few of the older Asante EN/SC adapters including one for the Powerbook that I've used with various 170's and 180's over the years.  I routinely use the Micro EN/SC connected by a short ethernet cable to a little IOGear Ethernet->WIFI dongle which is in turn powered by a USB cable...

    Powerbook 3400c Logic Board Help

    Compatible Replacement Screen for PB 180?

    Hey gang, It's been years since I was last marching with the 68kMLA but after some time foolishly spent not toying around with 68k Macs I found that I missed my old Powerbook 170 too much and succumbed to the charms of a Powerbook 180 on Craigslist.  When I first got the 180 the screen was...
