This is *exactly what I have been looking for. I cannot wait for this product to be done.

Well I tried it on 9.2.2 and it crashed Finder so hard it locked my Pismo up lol.

Yeah as I've researched more, I realized that this wouldn't be possible. Especially since LocalTalk has a lot higher of a bandwidth than serial. Oh well, thought maybe I had cracked the code. I absolutely do find that handy and will probably pour more time than necessary pouring through this...

I'm sorry. I meant Apple serial/Geoport. I routinely connect my PowerBook 160 to my PDQ over GeoPort and use AppleTalk. This is definitely a way. I just don't have a real easy way to connect them throughout the house. I don't have ethernet or phone jacks anywhere in my house resulting in me...

I have various Macs littered all over the house ranging from 68k all the way to M1. None of my pre-Intel machines are networked. I have my PDQ Powerbook G3 which works as a great way to transfer applications larger than a floppy over to my 68k machines via ADB. However, I just received a Pismo...

Thank you. I definitely noticed that I need to scrub down the board in that area some more after it started drying. I scrubbed it about 10 minutes in the sink but it seems like it still has some more gunk on it. I rarely lift traces twisting them. Seems like I lift them way more when I try and...

340c and I used flux. I tinned my iron with leaded solder. I only desoldered four like that, those are the two that lifted. The rest I used the twist method and had a better time with.

Welp, this sucks. Two capacitors had their traces lift completely up while desoldering (C5 and C18). Looks like I'll be able to bodge a bit and get it working, but this was definitely not ideal. Any advice appreciated.

Oh cool I had no idea that you could do this modification. I thought you’d have to replace the cpu. I will definitely be doing this mod once it’s up and running

I had a great package waiting for me on my porch today. Found an LC III on Mercari for $40 + $30 shipping a week ago and decided to take the plunge. No hard drive, the caps have just started leaking a touch but doesn't look like they've done any serious damage yet. I have a full kit of...

I received mine yesterday! It was very kind of you to include some bare PCBs of the v3's. I'll definitely have to get some CR2032 contacts and solder them up.

Alright I decided to replace the stock 1gb drive in my PowerBook 1400c with an SD card and can confirm it works great on Mac OS 8.5/8.6. So as far as I can tell, it should work in every IDE PowerBook. The 1400's IDE/ATA interface is pretty primitive so I can only assume it'll work in all of...

I was going to take the plunge on this one, but I guess you had bought it before I had the chance. Sorry it didn't work out for you. I hate those Maxwells so much.

I've seen this elusive peripheral referenced for years. There's a few pictures of the device and a video capture of it actually working online but I knew it was rare. I saw one pop up on Mercari for ~$40 and knew I needed to grab it. Box: Contents: Unfortunately, mine is missing the...

Oh man am I jealous of that NEC 1850E. That is basically what I am looking for and settled on my vx1950. I did forget to mention the sync-on-green thing as well. You can usually find it inside the manuals.
