    Ibook g3 battery cycle count under OS 9?

    Never used it, but some searching resulted in My Battery.  Looks to fit your requirements. Can't really find anything else...mostly OS X apps.

    PowerBook 190 strange behavior

    The 190/5300 are notorious for having the power connector lose connection with the motherboard. Give that a check as well next time you open it up.

    PM9600/200MP startup chime but no video or activity??

    I would try the basic basic setup. Pull all RAM except 2 x 16 MB DIMMS, A twin turbo card if you still have it or the oldest PCI video card in PCI Slot 1 (close to the CPU), connect one drive, one floppy, and the 200 MP PROCESSOR, replace the PRAM, then hit the CUDA switch. Then test.

    OS 8.5 freezes while loading on a 9600

    If it is an older 9600, it may not be compatible with the 604ev CPU from your 8600. What is the CPU speed marked on the front of the 9600 case? Or if that doesn't exist, the motherboard model?

    Help me decide which PowerBook(s) to keep

    My recommendation after owning all three would be the 1400c and the 2300c. The 3400c is notorious for failing as already mentioned, and 8.6 on a 1400c with 64MB RAM is perfect. As it is the 117mhz model you can easily find a 133mhz to speed it up a bit. The 2300c gives you the small form factor...

    Upgrading to 9.2.2 on unsupported PM7300 w/G3 upgrade

    There is still value for 9.2.1 if you are not using it under classic. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_9 Version: 9.2 Improvements: Improved speed and Classic Environment support. Version: 9.2.1 Improvements: Minor bug fixes. Now, I cannot see an upgrade to 9.2.2 being of any...

    Apple Interactive TV Box

    Of all the research I have done on this particular unit from Apple's history, I have never seen that video card before.  That one piece there is unique. A pinout of that card vs the port would allow creative people here to figure out how it is used and possible craft an adapter.

    PowerBook 170 SCSI disk mode not working

    A little searching: http://lowendmac.com/1991/powerbook-170/ (scroll down) The PowerBook 170 does not support SCSI Disk Mode.

    Apple Interactive TV Box

    I think your best bet might be to find the OS released around the time of the ROM revision.  Perhaps even a 7.5.x beta that was in development may have the correct code that would have been removed for the production releases.

    Orinoco issue

    I had no luck with my new router and the old Orinoco cards the last time I tried. Mind you I didn't explore troubleshooting it. Have you tried switching between wep and wep 2? Also I remember having to turn on long preamble for a more stable connection.

    1400 cpu

    Without any pictures, you can tell just by the size whether it's a 117 or a 133/166model. The 117 does not have any cache, and therefore is almost a square, while the 133/166 is rectangular.

    PowerBop part II

    Just a note, the port on the side by the PowerBop is not a second SCSI port, instead a 20pin floppy port for the external duo floppy drive.

    My experience is that it won't spin up and read the disk unless it is connected to a machine (properly). I would suggest just doing a quick check by setting the SCSI ID manually, opening up a machine you have that works (any SCSI machine will do - LCs are great for this), and connecting the...

    Grabbed a nice PowerBook 1400cs/166 with extras

    Nice haul. I've always liked the 1400 that have a few that are upgraded to the max. The one thing you have there that has eluded me is the internal video expansion card. 64MB is the maximum that a 1400 can take. It is enough for 8.6 and certainly 7.6.1, but its a little shaky for OS9. Even...
