    PowerBook 540c Restoration Project

    cant say something about the delay thing but I notice a strange behaviour on principle with SD card in my machines ( 3400c/Kanga/2400c). it works, but there is always problems with copying larger files from the pcmcia to the sd hdd or even install. I never have this with regular ide hdds in the...

    PowerBook 500 Series Keyboard

    I found it to be easiest/secure to unhook the two key's side latches with a fine tool like a tweezer first to unpop it from the base.. interestingly I havent broken off any of these, maybe these are made from a different kind of plastics than the ABS case..

    PowerBook 500 Series Keyboard

    when I restored my 540c I also noticed bad action on some keys, but they can be disassembled and cleaned..there was a lot of fluff underneath :p

    My 3lectr1cal Conquests!

    the 5300c looks good though, how bad is the corroson inside? the PDQ are nice machines, last year I had one with a 12" display, never seen one of those before, only 14". in the Cardbus slot is a gemeric NEC USB2 card, worked well.

    Screen Craps Out But Only After I've Loaded Combined Update 10.2.8; Before That Everything Was Terrific.

    about formating, AFAIK HFS+ (or extended) is a hard drive format. Journaling is not, journaling is a feature available with HFS+ and selecting to have journaling enabled with HFS+ formatting is an option but not required.

    Powerbook 2400 Polarizing Film Angle

    Impressive diy solutions(y) Does this slitted block also lock onto the socket itself somehow?

    Polarizing film

    that cheap chinese products, in the EU these would probably not be allowed, just for the inhealthy offgasing. I bought a replacement bellows for my Linhof large format camera from china and it took almost a year till the chemical stench was gone. sorry for OT

    did your 1400 soga/glue repair go well? I often found the little noses of the caps broken off on my 1400 machines..

    well no doubt that Jaguar or any more modern OSX run better on an iBook clamshell/white iBook/Tit..they do quite well with mSata/IDE combo..that was not the point. The Kangas are one of the rarest PBs that are out there ( only 6 month in production) and Apples earliest generic G3 in a PowerBook...

    PowerBook 190 revival

    nice display..I think the 5300c's active matrix screens fits very well to the 190.. I installed Os8 via bluescsi and then did the 8.1 update, it runs quite ok with 24MB, and I prefer it over 7.6 a bit more because it has better networking the broken off battery connector..though it is very...

    Well actually I was referring more to the behaviour of the SD card..meaning why is the old hdd still working better than the sd card with the jaguar install

    installed the SD-IDE adapter combo again in the machine ( after formating it with SD Card formatter) and copied two installed partitions over to the SD..it works but the SD is behaving a bit strange.. it sometimes has problems copying larger files and the OSX Jaguar install didnt work this time...

    PowerBook 190 revival

    good luck with your 5300c, post some photos of it.. I couldn't remove this crusty accumulation of battery electrolyte off the connector and also not sink just the whole powerboard completely in vinegar because of sensitive parts..
