I just picked up a PowerBook 5300cs off of eBay. It just arrived today along with the manual. It is in near perfect condition and it is still running 7.5.2 and it had img files of all the OS disks on the drive. The battery seems to hold a charge for about 10 minutes or so before going to sleep...

I just got these off of eBay. Next time I go to the Apple Store, I'm wearing at least one of them :D

I'l have to try it on my G3 then :beige:

I bought a 120 piece tool kit from tigerdirect.com and it has a large selection of tamper resistant bits with it. Plus, it also cost $20 less then that screwdriver does.

Thanks, I did a lot of looking, but I couldn't find anything that told what the standard was for IDE on the G3. I personally think the key pin is redundant as there is a key molded into the plug and the socket itself above pins 19 and 21.

I pulled out my power supply to clean it up a bit underneath, and I decided I would try to add an 80 conductor cable to my G3. However, I found that the connector is slightly different from the IDE found in a standard PC. Pin 20 appears to be used in the G3, but isn't on the drive itself...

Well, everything is up and running!!! One thing I discovered, is that the Macintosh doesn't like the master jumper on the boot drive. The system is down to 60 seconds even for boot time (from chime to being able to open a program), and opening up programs is much snappier then before. The best...

I copied it over to the second partition, and it seems to work so far.It also boots about 15 seconds faster. I think I might just keep this drive in the system, and archive the stock drive with my other hard drives after fixing it, blowing it, and re copying everything.

I put the 80GB drive from my postponed tiger project in it. I'm copying the system folder over now. I'll post results in a bit.

The hard drive in my beige G3 (running 9.2.2) scanned as having problems. could I get a second hard drive, copy the contents of my G3s drive to it, and expect the new drive to boot? I've done it with floppies before, but I'm curious if there would be any issues doing it with a hard drive.

Not sure, but there was a cube on ebay recently with dual g4 1.5 ghz processors.

I have a duo 210 that won't boot, and I seem to have lost the floppy drive for it. I want to get access to it so I can fix my finder and system files (played around with them in resedit and swapped them). I need to be able to move the backups of the original files back into the system folder and...

According to an internet search, its a fictional computer that won't exist for 60 years.

The picture isn't the best quality, and it doesn't show the entire room. However, just about everything in the basement is from the 70s - 80s and is all in perfect condition. The desk is stuffed with various pc components/software/manuals from the 80s and 90s. There are things such as the 8...

Just thought I'd share :beige: I was cleaning up the basement and noticed that the old 486 on the desk could be replaced with something a little nicer. I figured it would make a nice, relatively period correct photo. Also, I know the keyboard isn't correct, I just don't have a keyboard for...

I threw a bid on it. I might not try as hard for this one though. However, I will make sure it is insured if I win it!!!

Whenever macgeek releases them you will. There's about 43 items I uploaded that I believe should be complete working images. I don't have much more to do. I need to break up a couple things that wouldn't upload and upload them separate. I hope I don't disappoint anyone because I was not able to...

It worked for me. I'm going to finish imaging what I have left to do, along with some of my (meager) original collection. Oh yeah, I have several disks left to do, however most of them are partial disk sets. Would it be worth it to upload say disks 1 and 7 of system 7.5, disks 2 and 3 of 7.5...
