    Powerbook G3 Pismo does not recognise Belkin F5D7011card with Broadcom chipset.

    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...

    2009 MacBook Pro Found at Thrift Shop

    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.

    2009 MacBook Pro Found at Thrift Shop

    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..

    Help needed- Obscure issue with Powerbook Pismo G3. Black Square on Startup OSX 10.4.11

    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.

    Help needed- Obscure issue with Powerbook Pismo G3. Black Square on Startup OSX 10.4.11

    So got three surprises in one computer

    oh I also had this 220Mhz G3 version on one of my 1400c.. I felt quite slow though to my surprise, the 1400 is just a single bottleneck

    What Kind of Plastic is the Shell of the Apple PowerBook G3s?

    a good method of glueing cracks or broken off standoffs is using superglue and then sprinkle some baking soda on it, can be repeated to build two or more layers ( a model maker method).. this creates a much stronger bond, standoffs will not break there again. When you use that on the inner side...

    nice find.. your G3 740 reads 67Mhz, it needs the G3 installer software I guess https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/newer-technology-nupowr-g3-v103-installer-powerbook-1400-2400
