    Getting a PowerBook 1400 Networked

    I gave up with PCIMCA cards - I have a box full of them - either they are cardbus types - PowerBook 1400 uses 16 bit cards so just heads up. As my PowerBook 1400 has ethernet card in it which works really well. You still can buy ethernet card for PowerBook 1400 on ebay every now again but its...

    Wallstreet laptop

    Because the original Wallstreet only has 233mhz without L2 cache, 250mhz and 292mhz. Which PDQ came in as 233mhz with L2 cache, 266 & 300mhz. Also Gestalt ID is another thing. Cheers AP

    Originally I had 25gb partition which was pulled from PDQ which it was able to dual or quad boot, it didn't work too well in Wallstreet which got me stumped hence asking that question above. So what I did - I rebuilt fresh m.2 inside it and went from there. Cheers AP

    PBG3 Wallstreet- switching OS?

    Something is baffling me – I have a little problem with my PowerBook G3 Wallstreet with Sonnet G3 500mhz, If I pick an OS to startup with ie. I’m in Mac OS 8.1 and I would like to switch it to Mac OS 8.6, then the OS is selected and go to restart, it will restart back to Mac OS 8.1 and even tho...
