I did something similar last summer - I purchased an HP LaserJet 4050 with all the options - extra tray, duplexer, network card, and toner. It cost me about $35. The toner has been at less than 20% for a year now, even with 4 people printing to it daily. Everyone loves being able to print to it...

I seem to recall running into a similar issue with my Personal LaserWriter 320. What I think it boiled down to was that the Appletalk protocol is long unsupported. Most routers will forward it through ethernet, but most will NOT support it over wireless. My solution was plugging in an Ethernet...

I bought a 500MHz Sawtooth for $50 shipped last fall, because it was "broken." However, it was just a bad stick of RAM that caused the startup woes. I used it to learn OS X server, and used it as a home server for a while. I still don't know Server as well as I want to, so it doesn't serve...

How did you score a TAM? That just doesn't happen without a story!

Hi all, I have a chance at a cheap, or free, Color LaserWriter 12/660. The owner says it needs repairs, and they believe the problem is a bad fuser. Should I take a chance at this beast or should I let it pass? Are fusers available at all? If so, are they terribly expensive? Comments/Opinions...

IMy offer of 4.99 was declined... what a shocker. lol

Hi all, So after the problems with my last 2400c, I bought another one. To recap, the first one turns on fine, but will not spin up an HD. I have taken it apart completely and tried two HDs, both of which work fine in an external USB case and a Powerbook 5300. I bought another one, which spins...

I know one thing the clamshell has to its advantage - that 60GB 7200RPM drive. That makes a huge difference in VM times and the like. I don't have Xbench or anything like that to test my machines with, so I can't provide numbers. Another thing - does the clamshell SE have a video chipset that...

Okay. From the title of your post, it looks like you are wanting help getting this iBook back together. So, I'll try to offer what I can. First, it's not a G4 iBook. It's a G3 500Mhz dual USB - the first generation of white iBooks. I'm not sure why you would try to combine the two at all. Now...

So I received the 2400, and it's in good physical shape. It came with a 6GB internal drive, which was loose in the case - not connected. It's a Toshiba. I popped it in the 'book, and it didn't spin up at all. So I put the drive in an external case and formatted it on OS X, where it worked very...

Hi all - I have too many Powerbooks that I've accumulated over the past year or so, and I need to thin down. Here's the herd: PB 100: I'm keeping this guy, period. I love it. 2x PB 160: Keep one or get rid of them both? Both work, but are rarely used. PB 190c: I like this machine a lot, and...

So some of my latest conquests haven't really been terribly exciting, but I just scored another actual vintage Mac, so I thought I'd post. 2400c: Just won this guy on eBay for $50 plus $14 to ship - it includes battery, power adapter, and external SCSI CD & cables. Boots to :?: , so we...

Hi all, I just recently acquired a MessaagePad and MessagePad 110 for cheap. I got the MP110 to boot with normal batteries, and it originally came with some diagnostic software on the 2mb flash card, but then it would just randomly turn off. So, I removed the batteries and card, then reset the...

I saw that as well! 8-o And, I just eBay messaged the winning bidder explaining this website and politely invited him to share some information about the computer. Here's hoping he does... Kyle- Edit: he said he would be more than happy to share more detailed photos and such. 8-)

What sort of video problem? Do you plan on repairing or parting? Perhaps it's easily fixed?

Bunsen - those little ridges on the bottom right hand corner slide to the right. You will probably have to apply more force than you like. Press inward and out to the right with your thumb. It could be that the battery has bulged a little bit and that is why it is so difficult to get out. And...

You traded a Q650 for a CC II? Wow, nice one!

Hey all, Local salvation army had some goodies today. Namely, a Performa 575 and Performa 5200CD. $10, but today was "family day", so they were 50% off. They both have 8MB of RAM :p They also had a SW II and SW 2500, but I passed on those, as I already have a SW II and a SW 2400. Both of...

Sweet - can't wait to see this stuff. Kyle-

I'll offer webspace for the diagnostic utilities. Kyle-
