    Overclock PowerBook 1400/117MHz to Cacheless 133MHz?

    agreed, I also had this with a 540c and a 1400/3400 also about the cooling..the 3400's heat sink got a lot warmer after I clocked it to 200 Mhz, I also did add an arctic cooling thermal pad and tiny copper heatsink ( and it has a fan inside)

    Overclock PowerBook 1400/117MHz to Cacheless 133MHz?

    well, this page refers to two methods of overclocking the 5300, 100 and 117 models by a) changing the bus-to-cpu ratio for the resistors at positions R43, R46, R47, R48, R50, R127, R128, and R129 on the motherboard. https://www.alksoft.com/5300_FAQ/FAQ_A.1.1.php the best photo I could find...

    Photoshop Accelerators - DSP

    wow, really interesting numbers..this reminds me of my times at a graphic design shop as an an intern, back in 1992 or so. They had a 950 Quadra with a huge 17" CRT..I was working on a Performa. Ram and other hardware was so expensive..but it worked! A lot of hand lettering, copying, scanning...

    Powerbook 3400c Troubleshooting!

    old story, exactly over this whole area ( under the speaker panel) sits the green Varta PRAM battery of death, when it once leaked and electrolyte dripped onto the components beneath it, it is likely damaged/dead ( 47uF cap area)..I had two machines with little corrosion there, also did pay for...

    Iomega scsi zip 1GB

    thanks..yes, the switchable 30 pin Adapter was confusing me a bit, what it was switching actually..additionally also depends on what devices you actuallly are using, desktop Mac/powerbook/external devices with different termination properties. I put in the active terminator onto the seconds scsi...

I have two variants, one with the 29 pins without Dock switch I used with my BluesScsi, and the one with the switch and 30 pins. I dont want to try my SCSI chip in the powerbook, I think I must use the 30...

    found an external Iomega scsi zip drive, 1GB version, with power adapter and 6 1GB cartridges..nice but the cable is not the original and also not fitting to the Apple scsi Sub 25 Adapter. There also was an active terminator included. so to my knowledge I now need another cable, a...

    Repaired a Quantum 40 S full height drive with a stuck parked head!

    I wonder with that replacement of the rubber, does the thickness of the tape actually make a noticable difference in the behaviour of the parking position of the reader head? I could imagine that a too thick tape could prevent the head of making a perfect angle?
