Would you be able to sell those battery boards? Cheers AP

You will find having PCI SATA card way much faster than internal bus. - you could find one and flash it. Cheers

I do have G4 MDD - originally its FW400 model, with FW800 1.4ghz CPU & Copper Heatsink on it, with Sonnet SATA card with SSD attached to it - its a quite quick mac - which is why I hadn't done Sonnet upgrade. Yes it does boot into OS9 with Sonnet from what I know. Cheers AP

Awesome! I do have exact same boxed CPU and its not even opened either, bought it from Japan as well but very cheap at that time back in 2016 I think it was. Tempted to sell or install in my G4 MDD... Cheers A

Yep that would be Lupis Video & Ethernet card that was for PowerBook 190/5300 series with an adapter - I had that one too - but PowerBook 1400 is different one and If I recall correctly - there isn't one combined ethernet & video in one. Cheers

I gave up with PCIMCA cards - I have a box full of them - either they are cardbus types - PowerBook 1400 uses 16 bit cards so just heads up. As my PowerBook 1400 has ethernet card in it which works really well. You still can buy ethernet card for PowerBook 1400 on ebay every now again but its...

Hey all, As I have Quadra 800 logic board inside Quadra 700 case, it also has DOS compatible card installed with extension to the NuBus ports as well. (Quadra 700 logicboard was battery cancer, and Quadra 800 case shattered into pieces hence two into one - Love the shape of Quadra 700 case, and...

Following - keen to find out! Cheers AP

Wow awesome project!!! I'd be keen in one board if youre going to sell. Cheers AP

Because the original Wallstreet only has 233mhz without L2 cache, 250mhz and 292mhz. Which PDQ came in as 233mhz with L2 cache, 266 & 300mhz. Also Gestalt ID is another thing. Cheers AP

Thats PowerBook G3 PDQ - not Wallstreet. Lovely laptop - I do have both Wallstreet and PDQ but my fave is Wallstreet with Sonnet 500mhz upgrade and its my gateway mac. Hinges - just put couple of drops of good quality oil to lube it up - Ive done a couple of those now. (you'll need to remove...

As for past couple of weeks we have seen people trying out CHRP enablers for Macintosh. I have experienced with it with my PowerBook G3 Wallstreet running Sonnet G3 500mhz. What I have found; System 7.1 - crashes/unstable, could not show monitors etc System 7.5.3 - unstable. System 7.5.5 - I...

HFS+ is Mac OS 8.1 upwards. Mac OS 8.0 is the last OS that is HFS. (whereabouts HFS+ should have been in Mac OS 8.0 to begin with!

AFAIK and confirmed - that Sonnet SATA card is Mac OS 7.5.5 bootable off SATA SSD - blazing fast! Cheers AP

Originally I had 25gb partition which was pulled from PDQ which it was able to dual or quad boot, it didn't work too well in Wallstreet which got me stumped hence asking that question above. So what I did - I rebuilt fresh m.2 inside it and went from there. Cheers AP

Answer; it cant be more than 8gb - that was my issue. Cheers AP

Something is baffling me – I have a little problem with my PowerBook G3 Wallstreet with Sonnet G3 500mhz, If I pick an OS to startup with ie. I’m in Mac OS 8.1 and I would like to switch it to Mac OS 8.6, then the OS is selected and go to restart, it will restart back to Mac OS 8.1 and even tho...

I am pretty sure they use rechargeable AA batteries that you should be able to replace it yourself easily - no you dont need solder it. Cheers AP

Hey all - I recently just rebuilt new set of PRAM batteries for my PowerBook 1400/166, It has dual PRAM batteries in it (only 166 models has dual pram batteries), but I've came into a drama with it... I copied and made new pack with rechargeable VL2330 batteries, from old one using the original...

Yes there are resisters under that sticker - its R33 and R34. It is showing 350mhz in Guage Pro and Norton's System Info as well - so across 3 programs (incl Apple's System Info) it is showing 350mhz. Weird! Cheers AP
