Thanks Byrd! I'll give that a shot.

Can anyone corroborate that they have upgraded an PowerBook4,3 to 640MB of RAM?

I have an iBook / PowerBook4,3 model A1005 (600MHz PPC) that I am trying to upgrade the RAM on. According to everymac.com it can take a single 512MB PC100 SODIMM. So I bought one and when I plugged it in, the iBook only reconized 256MB of additional RAM. So I thought that the stick might be...

OK, I have a couple of old Mac that included AirPort cards. Of course, they won't connect to my "modern" 2GHz WiFi because it demands WPA2 and the AirPort card seems to only support WPA. Is there a magic combination of OS / driver / card that will allow an old iBook or PowerBook to connect to...

It works for me on my Mac Mini running OSX 10.5.8

Well, I received my PCMCIA-to-SD card, and it's not a pretty picture so far. Every time I insert the card into my PowerBook 1400c/166, it locks it up. I have to pull the power to get control back. I'm planning to mess about with it, change formats, sd card sizes, and see if I can get it working...

I know that my Sceptre TV remote turns on my Performa 630CD. It's rather annoying. I haven't checked what other functions on it do anything...

Thanks guys!

I happened to pick up a pair of internal Jaz drives that each came with a PCI SCSI card. The SCSI cards are Iomega branded, model ABP-960U and have an AdvanSys ASC3050B chipset. Unfortunately, I can't find any drivers for these cards for Windows 10. Does anyone here know if they can be made to...

Well, I just ordered one from Amazon (SD-to-PCMCIA). It says 32gig is the limit, but I will test it and find out if that is indeed the case.

LOL, thanks LaPorta. I was thinking the C has the better screen, but also wondered about longevity. I actually have three. One is a 1400cs (117 MHz). I don't wanna be a hog and keep them all. I'm going to give two of them to a good home.

I'm lucky enough to be able to choose between two beautiful PowerBook 1400's. The only difference between the two is one is a 1400c and one is a 1400cs. Which would you choose and why? Thanks, Tom

I'm not sure. I could be convinced either way... LOL All I know is my 3 footer works.

I recently acquired a PowerBook 1400c/166, which happened to come with a PCMCIA card in it. The card is the "Farallon LAN/Modem PC Card" touting a 33.6 baud modem and an ethernet interface. But all I got was the card. No drivers. No dongle. I can probably find the drivers online somewhere, but...

Excellent link Kerobaros! Wish I'd known about that before I did mine. Nix: they're not too hard to make. I'm working with a Windows 10 PC, so take that for what it's worth. Here's how I made a bootable Apple Legacy Recovery disk image (not a CD image): 1) Download and install BasiliskII (a...

This is the one I've been using with my Zip drive. From Amazon - $9 - you can't beat it. Is it as high quality as my "original" 25-pin SCSI cable from back in the day? No, probably not. But it works. I have heard that lengths under 6 feet can cause timing issues, so if I were buying another one...

I've been shopping for SD-to-PCMCIA cards lately, and I haven't found a single one that says it supports anything over 32gb. If you know of one, I'd love to try it. I may just buy one ($20 on Amazon) and see if it is, in fact, limited to 32gb. I've seen several devices that claim this limit, but...

Thanks for writing this up. I'm about to embark on the same mission with my "new" PowerBook 1400c/166. So it was great to find it laid out with instructions. I have a couple of CF-to-IDE adapters, and frankly, they're a nightmare to get the right card to work with. Most modern CF cards don't...

Unfortunately, I'm not using the same image on all my SCSI devices. The RaSCSI images and MacSD images don't seem to be compatible, and frankly, I don't remember which image was on the SCSI2SD. Though I can say that all of them would be setup for Mac SE, SE/30, or Classic 1. Likely System 7.1 or...

Side note: when I had the MacSD connected, I noticed that it behaved like it wasn't getting enough power. All the LEDs were lit, but they were dim. I didn't try it on all of the SEs. So that may have been unique to that specific unit. But the same error across them all? That's weird.
