    if the mechanism or circuitry is iffy (in particular, the eject/sense mechanism is a bit fragile)... it can look like something more serious is wrong. also... never insert a memory card in the upper slot and a wlan card in the lower slot... and then eject the memory card.

    powerbook 💻 2400c tip of the week 🤓 during startup, just after the "welcome to mac" screen… the powerbook will attempt to initialize the pc card cage, and eject any inserted cards. if this fails for whatever reason, the computer will instantly shut down.

    IIvx & BlueSCSI issue

    that should have been done before using it. iivx caps are very leaky. in fact, there's a pair near the internal SCSI port. check here for a cap reference there's no schematic sheet available so you'll have to manually figure out connections.

    Anything to be gleaned from this PB160 photo?

    not really rare... just more uncommon really. the really cool ones are the eyeball and 8ball replacement trackballs also i think they originally came in these pyramid shaped boxes? can't find a good picture sadly
