this popped up this week in german Craigslist, 1200 bucks isnt really a snapper but interesting redesign for sure, with misspelled 'Macintosch'..

https://everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/specs/ibook_g4_1.33_12.html According to the infos you have a firewire port, so you can use target disk mode with it and another mac.

yeah, why are they actually so rare..was their production cancelled after the battery bomb cases:rolleyes:

interesting..kinda pre-bootcamp..a pity XP wont run on these..

from the photos I dont see any really bad corrosion, apart from the darker area with the little PRAM battery connection socket.. fuses, I dont know if they all are soldered in-types, but in many cases it turned out some were indeed blown, it is littered with those fuses ( theres a thread here...

nice ..(y) you also could just scrape away some off the coating/plastic to the bare copper underneath and connect it with shorter wires.

some photos of the connector and cable could help maybe

of course, a very basic design I used CF/IDE adapters too, but my CF card isnt the best I guess, and correct formatting is key from normal use I couldnt tell a big difference in usind a SD or CF I'll do some more testing.

the battery acid must have been inside after the explosion for quite a while..it takes time to melt into the sockets etc. the problem with ram sockets is that one drop of solder/acid in them can render those unusable, so that you must desolder/replace them completely.:rolleyes:

cant say something about the delay thing but I notice a strange behaviour on principle with SD card in my machines ( 3400c/Kanga/2400c). it works, but there is always problems with copying larger files from the pcmcia to the sd hdd or even install. I never have this with regular ide hdds in the...

wow, what a battlefield, what did it look like inside 15min after the PRAM battery nuclear attack..

I found it to be easiest/secure to unhook the two key's side latches with a fine tool like a tweezer first to unpop it from the base.. interestingly I havent broken off any of these, maybe these are made from a different kind of plastics than the ABS case..

when I restored my 540c I also noticed bad action on some keys, but they can be disassembled and cleaned..there was a lot of fluff underneath :p

the 5300c looks good though, how bad is the corroson inside? the PDQ are nice machines, last year I had one with a 12" display, never seen one of those before, only 14". in the Cardbus slot is a gemeric NEC USB2 card, worked well.

about formating, AFAIK HFS+ (or extended) is a hard drive format. Journaling is not, journaling is a feature available with HFS+ and selecting to have journaling enabled with HFS+ formatting is an option but not required.

thats a pity. lol.

maybe you can use the sceen of a PowerBook 5300c for it, it also has a 10.4" color active-matrix display.

Impressive diy solutions(y) Does this slitted block also lock onto the socket itself somehow?
