Well i've been wanting one of these FOREVER.... Ever since i saw Meg Ryan using one in You've Got Mail This is the 200 MHZ machine with 48 MB RAM currently running 8.0.
Since they are the last Pre-G3 PB they usually are too pricey for me; but i made an offer for this one at $150 and it was accepted. Upgrades include RAM, and it comes with a working CD drive (the faster 12x) and floppy insert. Really stoked to spend some time with it this week! I did order an additional RAM upgrade on ebay (32MB techworks powerbook 3400 memory module); but wondering if i'll be able to stack it or if it will only accommodate one card and i need to look for the "big one" to get it to 144MB
Someone was selling new PRAM batteries for this machine as recently as two years ago on ebay; messaged them but haven't heard back yet. Need to check to make sure i pull the current one when taking a look at the RAM when it comes in.
So so excited to finally have a 3400 in my collection! Going to give it lots of TLC and upgrades when/where i can! Any thoughts/advice/tips? Max OS? Etc.? Thanks guys!
