Ok so I tried that.. a bust! I had issues with the PM8600 so I used something closer to its build date a PB100. So I followed all the directions.. problem is the PB100 booted off the Outbounds internal IDE drive.. and it didn’t mount the PB100’s hard drive.. so it did what it should do.. make...

Ok so I can do a block copy to an image file in FWB toolkit on my PM8600 runnin 9.1. I’m assuming like I mentioned earlier I can connect it to my second external serial bus and mount it and copy it? So I just want to confirm I can treat it like an external SCSI drive by connecting it? There’s...

I’ve been trying every cloning software package out there.. Clonezilla, DFSee, Easus… everything to try to clone my notebook hdd to another. Every program see’s it as a Conner drive or the Hitachi I have in it. But the programs don’t see any partitions and they think it’s a blank drive. This is...

So I purchased a Rev B logic board as a backup. Since it was a Rev B I figured I’d swap it out. Now I recapped it with quality SMD Tantalums before doing this. And it will not fully boot. It powers on and drives spin up and such but no boot chime. I’ve rechecked all the caps and values as well...

You know what’s strange is today I was fiddling with it and it’s fine.. 🤔 It’s strange and yes I believe there are different versions floating around. At any rate it seems to be working now. But I have heard this to be an issue in the posts in Mac garden where there is a copy. I have copies of...

Yeah would be nice if someone could fix the little bug on it.. It's just a little annoying but it still works great!

So I have a working patched version of After Dark for OS9. Problem is whenever you go into it to make a change or anything you get an error closing it because it magically locks even after you have unlocked it many times.. even on reboots! I would assume this is a bug from the patched version...

Hey gang.. anyone have experience replacing the good ole plastic SIMM sockets with good new metal clip SIMM sockets? I attempted on one with my new solder iron with suction pump. If you don’t have one of these I highly recommend them!! No more ruining througholes for me! At any rate I did buy...

No I have run mine without a battery in the bay.. also I have run it with a dead one in the bay... so.. Not in my experience.

So I am not sure if this has been mentioned before but I have recapped two Outbound Notebook logic boards.. I discovered there is 5 X 5.5V .22 UF super capacitors on board the logic board. These supercaps basically act as PRAM batteries in my opinion. So if you work on it you really have to...

Unity I tried to email you through here but was denied… any chance you can take a good quality photo of the Outbound Notebook label on the bottom??? Mines missing unfortunately. Thanks in advance!! Matt

I’m looking at the manual yes I believe this discharges the super caps.. just would be nice to know for how long to hold it in..

I know… if we could find an formate employee…. Now here’s what’s really interesting… Working with the daughter boards for the notebooks is an experience. I’ve tried to use the “Diags for system 2000” series ROMS and ROMS from other types of machines that are compatible with it. Even sometimes...

Unity to go along with that oddball stuff look at these strange ROMS.. I’m not sure if the others with the stickers mean anything or they are regular ROMS.. but there’s a Diagnostic ROM….

Yes Unity I typically don't go that far in voltages either... lol.. It was the fact that I had ordered both a lower voltage one and the 200v. The lower voltage didn't come in yet and I was just itching to put the thing back together.. lol.. It's only two 1000pf small caps.. they were added after...

Just still really odd.. I personally have about 8 processor cards and various RAM chips for the Notebook mostly 25hz. including some sort of Diagnostics ROM SIMM. And I have floppies with 1.3, 1.3b, 1.3h or something like that.. and some that say beta... I can't remember where I purchased these...

Another question for everyone.. Sorry to bother.. The 102 (1000pf) tantalum caps that I had to replace, one was piggybacked on the 330uf cap and another one that was on the system board that went from a smaller 100uf 10v cap to another component. The repacement that I used was a Kemet 1000pf 200...

Yes I have the 125 as well. That one is not as bad to recap internally if I remember. I had to cut some of the caps off and use the leads as you cannot access the other side of the board. Getting that little can where the largest capacitor is apart was a pain... Yes why the SIMMS are covered on...

Hey everyone.. so I literally spent almost all day recapping my outbound notebook. I highly recommend it as mentioned in another post. The power pack external supply had leaky 330uf caps. In the laptop itself.. mostly the only leaky ones were on the battery interface power board. Pretty nasty...

And just a note to ANYONE who has an Outbound Notebook not the 125 laptop.. there were definitely many leaky stinky caps!!!! Ughhh was it bad!!! And not just in the computer but leaky ones in the Outbound power supply!!! So my advice is to work on it when you get a chance. The take apart is a...
