    PowerBook G4 Titanium A1001/A1025 hard drive screws

    (Almost) wireless networking with a PowerBook 100

    This isn't really a great accomplishment, but I thought it was worth trying: http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/pb100/PowerBook100Wireless.html Summary version: connecting to the Internet from System 6.0.8, 7.0.1, and 7.1 through a PowerBook 100 with SCSI-Ethernet adapter connected (by an ethernet...
