    A call for help from PowerBook 1xx owners!

    If you have a moment to test something :) I've been working on a module that adds an integrated AirTalk using the modem port of the 1xx (except the 190) series PowerBooks (see here). It works beautifully on my 100, but not on my 150. What does not work? Well you need an extension to enable...

    USB2LT TashTalk Usb to LocalTalk

    I'm moving the topic of discussing the USB interface to LocalTalk here so we don't OT too much the other thread. While on the train I drafted a simple adapter. It uses an FT230X instead of the CH340 since the latter seems to have been obsoleted. In my experience with FT230X it is only a 3.3v...

    Announcing and interest check: Integrated AirTalk for PowerBook 100 series

    I recently restored a PowerBook 100 and I was thinking that it would be very cool if it could connect to LocalTalk without cables, basically to have an AirTalk integrated. I realised that the internal modem port is unused (I imagine for the most part nowadays!) - what if I could condense...

    Localtalk HSKo, HSKi and GBi

    Which connect to DTB, CTS and DCD respectively on the SCC. Does anybody know if they are used by the localtalk driver? In "Inside Appletalk", appendix A-4, there is a schema of the connections to the connection module, and these three signals seem not used, but I could not find any...

    Powerbook 100 IO Door?

    Is there anybody that has a powerbook 100 willing to help me get the measurements of the I/O door on the back? Mine is missing and I would like to put to good use a brand new 3d printer that is laying on my desk... I saw there is one for the PB 180 but I could not find it for the 100 (which is...

    My PowerBook 100 is alive again!

    I've been lurking around here for a bit gathering info on how to repair a PuwerBook 100 with a blank screen, and I'm happy to report it was a success! The powerbook 100 was my first laptop back in 98/99 when I was a kid. It was given to me for free by a dealer since the screen would...

    AppMaker 1.5 manual

    Does anybody happen to have the manual for AppMaker 1.5? I was having fun playing around it to generate some of the boilerplate for GUI stuff but I'm running into problems using the output with Think C 5. Thanks!
