Wow, definitely a good price on that SSD drive. And yeah, that would be plenty big for me. I am working on a novel so it would be nice to have the added drive stability. I've been saving to a flash drive in case of hard drive failure, which works, but it would certainly be great to get better...

I am running one of my 1400s on a CF card (and it runs just fine, and silently) but that would not work for me on a Pismo - I think I have the wrong type (slower speed?) Thought about trying that again with the right kind of CF card but had not gotten around to it. I think I was using 4gb...

Hugh - do post re how she runs with the ssd, I have long considered getting one for my pismo(s). Speed and battery runtime improvement, plus the stability, are compelling to me...

I will give it a try and report findings. Pretty sure they are not shorted, just old. I will use one that has a little charge left to start.

And there is no risk of explosion with the NiMh while frozen, right?

Question: would it be worth a try re the freezing trick for old Powerbook 1400 batteries, or are those probably too old to be revived? I have several packs now that won't hold a charge at all. Have never pulled the switch on a full recell job, and I don't want to personally try soldering...

Check the pram battery too. My c II gave me checkers and all it needed was a new battery.

Hey, at my new workplace I've been unable to hook to a WPA2 guest network with the original Airport card. I ordered an Airport Extreme PCMCIA card today. That should solve the problem, right? The guest network at my other office location is an open network with a simple access agreement and the...

And man, the Lombards are so much better under 10.4 for normal tasks. Max out the RAM and transplant a drive from a Pismo - you'll like it!

Cheers to you! I use just a moistened paper towel with a small amount of the polish. Press down lightly but work it in for ~5 minutes at a time, keeping the towel just slightly damp. Then clean off and see where you are. Sometimes takes a couple of cycles to get it looking its best. This also...

If you have trouble finding the wireless card, let me know. I have two of the same kind for each of mine and I can give you the exact spec. Both were obtained from eBay for around $10 and OS X sees them as a native Airport card.

Those adapters work fine on Lombards and Pismos...I have other types but mostly use those. The tip is sensitive to fraying, be sure not to bend the cord at the point it meets the connector. But I have not had any problems with mine. Even with maxed out everything, the Lombards and Pismos only...

I tried using classic 9.2.2 and OS 10.3 for awhile with my Lombards, but eventually got frustrated and swapped in drives with 10.4.11 from Pismos, then put new drives in the Pismos. 10.4 runs pretty well with the RAM maxed to 512MB - be sure you get the right kind so the machine sees the full...

I love my 4G video iPod, still going strong on the original battery. Didn't know those had Wolfson DACs, but I've always been pretty happy with the sound quality. If the battery starts to fail, I plan to have the battery replaced...it's been such a dependable unit. I could use more capacity...

What is Shadowkiller?

Nice! Yes, that little PRAM trick is so simple... Be sure to give her lots of nice RAM, it's cheap now...10.4 runs fine with 512mb but the more, the better. If you want to keep running classic, 128 or 256 should be fine.

I just ordered two new Tadiran batteries (purples) on the bay, one for my CII, the other for my Centris. Took out the Interstate Battery I got a few months ago - better safe than sorry. The Tadiran batteries were far cheaper than going to Interstate...two for about $9.50 shipped. They have a...

This seller has amazing things...that's a beaut!

Some of my Pismos have fairly loose screens now (5-10 degrees of play). Is there a "best practice" to retighten them, or is a little bit of extra looseness due to age inevitable?

Only other thing I can think of would be to zap the pram and see if that clears up the scsi issue...if you can boot it. Or, try pressing and holding the reset button on the back for a minute or so. Not sure where the scsi controller is located on the mainboard...the only scsi devices I ever...
