    Which of these USB/FW cards would work with a Beige G3 running OS9?

    IIRC VIA chipsets are simply not compatible with Apple gear. DLink DFB-A5 Rev.A1 3-Port Firewire, 2-Port USB 2.0 PCI Adapter for Apple and PC - this is in the USA, like the one in the UK http://legacyfiles.us.dlink.com/DFB-A5/REVA/DFB-A5_DATASHEET_1.00_EN.PDF. - "OS X 10 &...

    Pismo - recapping?

    "What about inside the display assembly, anything to worry about in there?" Except for the mechanical stuff and the cables there's nothing in there a mere mortal can deal with.

    powerbook g3 wont show anything untill the ssd or hdd is unplug

    Maybe to start over with which PowerBook G3 you have. Certainly a Pismo will accept 128 GB SSDs; probably a Lombard will also but it will be a lot pickier about the mSata-to-IDE adapter. A Wallstreet - I don't know, maybe someone else can help.. I really, really suspect your adapter. I've...

    powerbook g3 wont show anything untill the ssd or hdd is unplug

    The jumper on the adapter needs to be set for "master". Usually that means you just leave it off.

    With an active Wi-Fi available just keep the 'Book  with the Date and Time Control Panel (OS 9 nomenclature) set to use the Time Server. You get an almost immediate correct clock set when you start up.

    Bondi Clamshell!

    Just right. That has BOTH tips. It would be good for the G3 & G4 'Books. Good luck.

    The pic on the right top has the two PowerBook tips. The pic on the left bottom is from eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kensington-Univ-AC-CAR-AIR-Adapter-APPLE-MAC-33079-power-charger-case-F-Ship/254210700745?hash=item3b302375c9:g:OGkAAOSwgspZubzm . I don't know anything about the seller

    Bondi Clamshell!

    The "this" isn't the right one - the DC end is the smaller one for the G4 'Books. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kensington-Univ-AC-CAR-AIR-Adapter-APPLE-MAC-33079-power-charger-case-F-Ship/254210700745?hash=item3b302375c9:g:OGkAAOSwgspZubzm has the correct DC connector. It seems that most of the...

    I've given up on trying to find a reasonably priced yoyo adapter and don't really trust the Asian generics. Kensington had a replacement at one time. Try model number K33079 on the Bay. AichEss

    Apple IIgs Bodge Wires Normal?

    FWIW I have a ROM1 board that has exactly the same mods and it checks out 100% good with any of the IIGS diagnostics I have. Do you have an Apple Diagnostics 4.x disk to home in a bit on the problem area? I'm going to guess that the 607-1073-B is the modded revision. AichEss

    Identify This Apple II Card?

    THANK YOU NJRoadfan. I had googled "Sequential Systems" and got many, many pages of logic, circuit design and other non-helpful stuff. I didn't go all the way thru' the search results (88,800,000 hits) and might not even have recognized those pages if they came up. AichEss

    This card came to me in a IIe. It was in Slot 4 if that's any help. Thanks, AichEss

    G3 PDQ - Problems with MSATA to ATA and CD-ROM

    A different mSATA to IDE adapter should be a first choice. I've had good results from the generic Asian-sourced adapters on the Bay. And they are jumperless. Good luck. AichEss

    A few random Newton questions

    For your Item 1: In your download and moving around process your Mac changed the .pkg extension from the Newton type to that used by OS X. See the first pic Here’s my procedure to undo this on a PowerBook G3 with MacOS 10.4.11 1. Do a "Get Info" on the downloaded pkg file - The second pic 2...

    PB 3400c Startup Issue - It Doesn't

    Thanks papichulo and AlpineRaven The PRAM battery is the first thing out of a 3400. On this one I don't see any obvious signs of leakage. Most often the PRAM leak hits at least the video connector on the logic board but the joinings (whatever you call them) are nice and shiny and getting the...

    Steve Weyer released Newt's Cape as freeware a couple of years ago. It is supposed to be the best Newton browser. You can get it here https://communicrossings.com/html/newton/regnewtscape.htm

    PB 3400c Startup Issue - It Doesn't

    As I continue to unpack a 3400c/Kanga stash stuff comes up that I don’t remember from when it all was put away. Comes now a 3400c with a startup issue. It chimes, the HD spins up, it takes some time to check the RAM and the LCD backlight comes on - and that’s it. No Happy Mac, no HD reading...
