    Basket Case PowerBook 180c

    It turned out the 5V power supply for LCD is actually located on the opposite side from LCD flex cable connector - on inverter board, which produces it from 7.5V I believe I mentioned before that my inverter board had couple of burnt capacitors, which I replaced, and was happy with working...

    Basket Case PowerBook 180c

    Looks like sutekh moved on to new adventures, so I decided to try to answer my own question myself.

    Basket Case PowerBook 180c

    Interesting - I discussed this repair with a friend of mine, who I trust with anything mechanical, and he also strongly advised on through holes with brass plates on outside. I almost went that route, but then there was a discussion on vcfed forum about fixing hinges, and two members there...

    Configuring MacIP gate on Debian server

    Thanks for replies. Unfortunately, virtual machine solution would not work for me in my case. The server that I was trying to setup for macip is a low power headless machine that does not even have x windows on it. I am trying to keep active software running on it at bare minimum. At the moment...

    Configuring MacIP gate on Debian server

    I wanted to make my debian jessie server that already runs netatalk file server to act as MacIp gate. I had to exclude using MacIPgw as stock kernel comes configured with ipddp module, which prevents macipgw from functioning, and I did not want to maintain custom built kernel on that machine...
