I would love to purchase your Newton keyboard and The Bridge. Let me know where I can send the dough. Thanks! - bob

Howdy! As RJKUCIA mentioned, I have NOS third party Clamshell iBook batteries that I saved from a local school district's e-waste bin. I'm going to list them later this summer, but in the meanwhile I've been offering them to 68kMLA members in need for $50, shipping included in the United States...

Friends, I have a question but I'm not sure how to put it, so stay with me... I've happened upon a cache of clamshell iBook batteries that have never been used. I think there's ten available, which may even include one or two Apple batteries mixed in with the third-party units. I pulled one of...

This is great to know. Thank you.

They pop up on ebay every now and again: https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-cell-4400mAh-Battery-For-APPLE-iBook-G3-12-M7721LL-A-661-2436-M6392-M7426/380692505775?hash=item58a30aa4af:g:YD4AAOSwxH1UHm2f:sc:USPSFirstClass!92027!US!-1

I love to see this kind of stuff. Congratulations!

I’d love to find a good home for them, since I don’t need that many. I suppose I should put them on the Trading Post except I don’t know what a fair price might be. 

I put a Kingspec 64GB PATA SSD (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4YU3YX3508&Tpk=9SIA4YU3YX3508) in my Clamshell iBook last week and had the same problem. I made sure to copy over the contents of the existing drive and I thought I blessed the System folder, but it...

I just came into possession of a half dozen NOS third-party batteries for the Clamshell iBook! It turns out that the local school district didn't want to pay the recycling fees and my man on the inside knew I was looking for one. Now that I put an SSD in the iBook (follow ifixit's instructions...

Yes, it boots 9, which I kept just in case.

Friends, I’ve ignored the hobby for a while, spending my energies lately looking for a new job and basking in newly wedded bliss. The funny thing is that the hobby will not be ignored... The 17-inch 800MHz iMac was “obtained” from the e-waste recycling area at the dump. It works perfectly, and...

I just replaced the logic board in a 15-inch Powerbook. I usually grab heavy card stock and fold some packing tape over and stick it down stick side up. That way, I can stick the screws down in the order and arrangement they were removed. The fiddly little hook that secures the front of the...

It took me a little while longer to get started than I'd hoped, but the logic board transplant into the G4 Powerbook was a great success. It took about an hour from start to finish and the machine is now humming along like a champ. I don't know if I'm going to regret leaving the stock 80GB hard...

Update: Won the auction for a new (as in NOS-new) logic board for $20 for the G4. The old gal goes under the knife tonight!

Did some work for a friend of mine who, understanding my mania, offered to trade her old Powerbooks for some of my very reasonable pay. Picked up a working Powerbook 520c which is an absolute delight to use once you get used to the teensy trackpad and the very bouncy keyboard. Also picked up a 1...

The only information I've found is from a third-party vendor selling replacement batteries for eleventy-million dollars. I'd rather be able to create a sled that I can slot a Bosch cordless drill battery into that will supply voltage to the machine and status to the indicator on the side. Maybe...
