nice machine..I can remember the RAM was incredibly expensive back then ( compared to today)

I love my mechanical Cherry keyboard in my Erazer Beast x40 gaming laptop, at first I was a bit concerned about the typing sounds but in the meantime I must say I really prefer it.. This Duo keyboard looks very promising.

Thats right, just a shame that they stored the vinegar 230 with the 2300c..but well, what can you say for 130 bucks. Right, theres life in it, will try to reinitialize the hdd ..

at the moment I'm at the 270c, really lovely 68k Mac, I like it even more than my 190c, the 270c apparently was the only one of the 68k Duos that has an internal 68882 FPU in it..yesterday I fired up the Duo Dock, its working, too..kinda enerving to cable it all up with other bulky SCSI decives...

guilty of charge

picked this up locally, a nice older couple, both were working on Macs since the 90s. a lot of boxes with goodies.. Powerbook Duo 230 ( vinegar display), working Powerbook Duo 270c, working Powerbook Duo 2300, all with power adapters, two micro Duo Docks with floppy disk drives and cables, data...

maybe a power problem, have you checked the power supply?

this is the Orinoco version with complete installer that worked most of the time on my machines with 8/ 9 and my Orinoco Gold/Silver or equivalents..other WaveLan versions didnt, it correctly recognizes the chip version.. And under OsX I just use a common, cheap Gigaset Siemens 54 PcCard that...

I had to open my revived 190 after the hinge cracked last time I opened it two days ago.. I disassembled it completely, opened the display and removed the two metal hinges. They were almost completely stuck due to its age, then I pulled the two pieces apart and cleaned the stuff spring/ shim...

have you checked if the powerboard is ok, eg replaced/compared it with a known working one?

interesting sticker..is that original?

yeah, I find that any early i5/i7 iMacs with 27" display ( which are cheap and plenty) are very useful at home still..a good industrial design, only plug in keyboard/w mouse and off you go, perfect for elderly and kids..even supports Windows in Bootcamp.

yeah those Intel Core 2 Duo Macs are quite common, but I prefer the early i5/i7 , they a bit more useable today. I recently found one of those 2006 black MacBooks but couldnt find a use for it actually, sold it..

I thought you were supposed to do the 10.4.11 updates before even installing shuriken, a necessary requirement to do Shuriken over it? your 'black box' looks just like the black background window for a kernel panic, just without the text over it.

I can remember having some probs after doing Shuriken, went back to Sorbet. maybe an error occured because something was not intstalled in strictly chronological order. https://www.macintoshrepository.org/48943-shuriken
