    Floppy Drive conundrum trying to move files from 68K -> PPC G4

    My TiBook has Ethernet, but it can't run PhotoFlash on OS 9. I also have a G3 PowerBook with serial ports and Ethernet that works for My QuickTake 200, but no floppy drive to install PhotoFlash (I could probably burn it onto a CD if its online somewhere).

    Floppy Drive conundrum trying to move files from 68K -> PPC G4

    Hi all, I'm trying to establish a workflow for getting photos off my old QuickTake 100. I've got a PB 165 that works great for getting photos off the camera, my next step is to get them onto a bridge machine (in this case PowerBook G4 titanium with OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.1 installed). I got a USB...

    PB180C Floppy Disk causes shutdown

    I have a power adapter from a PB165 but they seem to have different outputs so I didn't want to risk using it on the 180C

    PB180C Floppy Disk causes shutdown

    Hi all, weird issue; I've got a PB180C and it works very well- starts up fine, SCSI drive seems to be in great shape. But for whatever reason, when inserting a floppy disk in the built in drive it seemingly locks up the computer (can't click on anything) and then shows a 'disk unreadable error'...

    Mac Portable Mystery...

    Yep, I'm using a portable charger, which seems to be working properly per multimeter readings. I'll look into the Hybrid module. Any voltage readings I should be watching out for to indicate that it's faulty?

    Mac Portable Mystery...

    Interesting, thanks for the info! I've attached some close up photos of the board where I saw what looked like leakage, and the corrosion you mentioned on the U1M HYBRID. Do you think that would be repairable? The full explanation of symptoms is when I initially plugged in and got the battery to...

    Mac Portable Mystery...

    Hi all, first time poster and Macintosh Portable owner here! I've always wanted one of these beautiful machines and finally was able to get one with a rebuilt battery in lovely shape. Caps are leaky so I will definitely have to get them replaced as the machine doesn't like booting up (sometimes...
