I came across a pile of emacs. They had been tossed off a truck, I picked up a couple of them as I dumped my stuff off. They are 2005 models with 1.42ghz cpu's. . THey are complete. One booted but no video, the other does nothing. The sticker on the cd door says they have 80gb...
I am going to try a different hardrive. The one out of the Duo seems to have problems. The PB100 had an extra ram chip in it. It turned out to be 6mb!!! So this PB100 is maxed out with a total of 8mb!!! It should fly with O.S.7.0.1 !!
I just received my PB100. It came with a power adapter and floppy drive. It has 20mb harddrive. The screen has a couple of lines on it. It boots to a flashing disk. I tried to load in an O.S., but there was no hardrive showing. I took it apart and put in a 240mb hardrive out of a Duo...
I wanted to check some 5.25" floppies. I found a 5.25"Apple drive model #A9M0107. I plugged it into the back of my Classic II running O.S. 7.0. The floppy drive kept cycling and I kept getting a small screen with this" floppy is unreadable". The drive is open with no floppy in it. I tried...
I was at a yard sale and they had a free pile! I picked up A Quadra 605, apple design speakers(1993), 14" apple monitor, a cyrix 686 cpu sealed in original pakage and a USB PCI card sealed in box!!! Once home I fired up the Quadra 605. It had O.S. 7.1 a 160mb hard drive and 20mb of ram. I am...
Picked this one up today at a yard sale. A Newton Message Pad 120. It is in very good shape. It has the Newton fax modem card in it. The Newton Print Pack Cable and lots of original paperwork came with it too. The Apple MessagePad handbook is nice to have. The Newton Solutions Guide has lots...
Might be awhile till I can watch dvd's but I will tinker with this powerbook . It is easy to take apart. I like the keyboard and the way the apple logo glows when the unit is running. Thanks for the information on the decoder card.
The Lombard is running O.S.9.2.2. I can put a music cd in and it plays. But when a dvd movie goes in I get the no hardware warning. I was hoping to be able to download a decoder, instead of searching for the dvd pcma card on ebay. Is 192mb enough ram to have the dvd play well??
I just received this powerbook. Bought it as is for parts. I plugged it in with the adapter from another model that fit. I tried it after a couple of hours, and it booted right up! It is a Lombard 333mhz, 192mb of ram, 6gb harddrive. The battery charged up too!! But instead of a cd rom...
Just picked up the PB150 off of freecycle this morning. Works great! 8mb of ram, 120mb harddrive, with O.S.7.6 . The whole unit is in very nice shape. It came in an Apple laptop bag. Which might be why it is in such good shape. I want to up the ram(out of a duo) and swap in either...
You can carefully drill the screw head off. Then you can open up the 520 and change things. Whats left of the screw thread you should be able to grab it and screw it out with a small pair of pliers or small vise-grip.
I like the Palm lllc screen. But it is not very readable in sunlight and under some indoor lights. But it lasts me a month between charges. Mostly notes and phone numbers. I have the folding keyboard, that is a delight to use. I have tried a few of them, but this one just keeps on going...
I have a couple of PB165's in my parts box. They were stripped for some reason or another. I think both screens were ok. Both have there keyboards and roller balls, but not much else. If they would of use to you, PM me with your mailing address.
I had the same problem on one of my PB180's. I saved the dead battery in case I get around to replacing the cells in it. I took the cover off the dead battery so the powerbook would look complete, and not have the big hole showing on the side from the missing battery. The ac adapter works...
A nice find! Drop in a newer hardrive, it will be a great way to speed up the unit. Sometimes a good cleaning and fresh lube on the floppy drive will bring it back to life. I have done so with a few of them with good results.
I got a call from a friend this morning about some oversize computers in a dumpster! 30 minutes later I am in the dumpster!! 3 big servers are in there. There is a black IMB, it is a dual cpu model. The rack with three harddrives came out easy. The second server is stripped already...
