So I just picked up a PB 3400c while out on the road (truck driver lol, makes conquests a bit easier). It boots and all, but I've only got half the keyboard working. Now, I did remove the pram battery, it hadn't exploded,  but when I removed the screw for the speaker, it looked a bit rusted...

Recelling lol. That's what I get for typing this on a smartphone.

So. In my new quests with vintage apple collecting, I seem to have acquired the most homely PB duo one has ever seen. The battery blew up long ago. The front filter on the LCD panel has become melted and distorted from sitting in an outside junk pile. The best one though...the power supply...

So, would this translate to new motherboard time then?

LOL...could try...but no SCSI CD ROM lol

And I believe it is OpenTransport, I dont think they had MacTCP with System 7.6, i may be wrong though...

Yea...the connection light is on, and the link light is blinking. Just no communication. And, if it helps, I'm using a Faralon Ethernet Tranciever.

Well damn, im running system 7.6 lol

It's possible, they dont look like they have leaked, but it couldnt hurt, any other ideas?

So...I finally got another ADB keyboard and a vga adapter...and as luck would have it...I also got my local surplus store (Astro Too)'s lone AAUI adapter. Tada! I have it all hooked up on my desk. Now. I want to share some files to the Quadra. (The 700 is such an awesome little computer!) But...

Ok, so I have managed to find my way back into the apple collecting hobby accidentally. :p I have since aquired an Apple IIgs that when I turn it on, I get Fatal System Error 0911. I know that the error has to do with ADB. I am going to try the lightbulb over the ADB chipset trick. I also have...

Well...I thought I had back out of this hobby, but god bless. this beautiful PB 3400c among a corroded PowerBook Duo, a 1400cs with a messed up screen and a couple of DuoDocks...I found this little gem of a PB 3400c. Works great with 144mb RAM, and even a rather decent battery to boot! All this...

Welp, I haven't been here in a long time, kinda got out of vintage macs. BUTTTTTT, I found one that I just couldnt pass up. I found it on a humongous stack of old macs. Unforutnately I could only save one mac, so I made it count...I got myself a Quadra 700!!!! Now just need to find a keyboard...

Well, if you part with any SE parts, please let me know lol

I have owned 3 of these awesome machines...9 does run slow, 8.6 is the way to go. Get an Orinoco WaveLan Card or Dell TrueMobile, and get moving.

just remove ALL power from it and let it sit for a GOOD long while

you might not have the high sierra extension in there?

I think I used to own a copy of his System 7.5 book. Nice find!!!

That was always my understanding as well. Would the ASICs just impose some sort of address bus limit? What about some sort of extension that could jump beyond that address limit. If this is a ROM limitation couldnt someone code a patch driver, that could execute a jump instruction to an address...

I have a thinkpad 600e with 512mb ram, and it runs...ok As for the 600x, you MIGHT be able to get it to run with a minipci wifi card, as it does have a slot
