Me too.

What a wonderful adventure. Thank you for sharing.

If you find a good resource, please let me know as I need a couple of batteries for my Powerbook 5300s.

Yes. I tried to order some batteries two weeks ago and was told, "Thank you for writing; we apologize for any inconvenience, but please note that the battery you ordered is only available as a retrofit item. We don't sell a new battery; we are only able to replace the cells in an old battery...

For a while I used FTP. I used Fetch to download files to my SE/30 running System 7.6.1 from my free account at DriveHQ where I had uploaded files from my MacBook Air running MacOS Big Sur. A week ago I installed MacNFS which cuts out the middle man. I share a folder from my MacBook Air using...

Sorry for the late response but, for what it is worth, I have the exact same set-up that you have Dr. Evil, SE/30 with the BMOW Rominator, SCSI2SD but running 7.6.1. I did however, run 7.5.5. for quite some time and never had any problems or conflicts running an external display off of my...

Outstanding!  Keep them coming.

What a great story!

Thank you.

So, in an attempt to revive my 5300ce I picked up a solid 5300c which I have made lead candidate for restoration (holding onto the working 5300ce logic board in case I need it in the future - if anyone out there wants to buy it, please make me an offer).  I have partitioned the SSD into three...

Well, phooey.  Stripped my 5300ce down for the first time in 10 or 15 years to: 1) check out the stability of the power connector (good); 2) check the logic board - no signs of corrosion or bulging capacitors (but I am a neophyte); and whether reseating everything would give me more than the...

John, It is the actual PB battery, but it is not cheap, i.e. $149.  I ordered it from laptopbatteryexpress.com.  The website explains that these are new, not used, batteries.  Will write more when I receive it. Mike
