G'day all,
I have this spare PowerPC 604ev 300mhz Daughter Card for Power Mac 8600/9600.
Currently my 8600 has 250mhz card in it.
I was reading up on XLR8 page about overclock to 350mhz or 400mhz.
Should I do it? (FYI my soldering skills is good)
Cheers

Good morning all,
PowerBook 5x0 series battery rebuild/recell
Is the battery bricked if they show "X" on the icon in finder?
This is the 2nd battery I've tried rebuilding the pack and it still shows X and I seem cannot get the battery charged up or recognised - what am I doing wrong?
So...
I have gone thru several 3400s - they are *brittle* as - it all comes down to how they were stored/used etc.. my current 3400 is pretty good and it hasn't cracked or anything... Ive got a few cracked as well.
Cheers

Yep - its slow, If you wanted 100mhz 603 - Just get PB5300.
I do have that CPU as well in 540c as well and if it had 68040 originally just stick with it.
But bonus if you have SCSI to IDE adapter and use SSD in it then its kinda different story.
Cheers

Interesting what Battery is that? (edit: realised that's PowerBook Duo battery)
This battery pack is from my 1400c/166 which is why I looked up that pack with that link above.
Cheers

Ive been eying on this one for a while - I am suspected its the same as 1400 pack.

I do recap myself but I dont want to say "I'll do it" but I dont have the time, or I will do it but like in 3 months.. SO I'd say no, but I can suggest you Bruce Rayne to help you out, he's also from Sydney too.

Yep common issue as stated above.
I used to have PowerBook 5300ce back in late 90s and it was a nice laptop.
Saw that on ebay recently - congratulations - I was one of bidders as well but I got outbid.

Around the area where the PRAM battery is located - would be the issue. It would be caused by slight battery leak which is very common issue for those.

ha.... recently did that - My Quadra 700 has ultra wide SCSI via adapter in it - its 36gb, I've partitioned it in 2x 1.2gb, 4x 2gb - works well!

Morning all,
Can someone enlighten me to trouble-shoot this one;
PowerBook 540 does not have any sound output.
It was working 2 weeks ago when I last used it because I was playing games with it and now it doesnt.Swapped over to 520 screen - no sound
Swapped over known working ribbon cable...
The earlier system the better/faster than newer system. ie. on 68k Mac 8.1 was slow to perform over System 7.1 which is tons faster.
As what Gorgonops is correct. Some Macs doesn't like dual booting - your 1400c is more likely will accept dual booting.
That is why I have Macs there with...
