    BlueSCSI & SCSI2SD - corruption

    Update; After doing me in, I got my WGS6150 out and put it in, it worked perfectly and went back in 6100 and I had issues, it turned out to be the ribbon cable - somehow it might've been faulty, ever since it has been running perfectly including SCSI2SD external. Cheers AP

    PowerBook 3400/Kanga Battery

    Yep - it gets bricked as soon you disconnect the terminals. I've even had the board powered (to keep the board alive) while working on it didn't work either as It was a good battery that I killed it. I'd be interested to hear from you if you succeed. Cheers AP

    PowerBook 1400c/166 or 1400cs/166?

    1400c hands down - I do have one. I was given 4x 1400s one had better parts and others were least better parts and started mix'n'match into best 1400s, I turned one into 1400c/166 which I am happy with. I am about to rebuild the battery over the holidays. Cheers AP
