Was there ever such a thing as a Mac OS 8 / 9 compatible PC card tv tuner? I was kicking around getting something to hook an old game system to on, and as I don't yet have a desktop with Apple's TV tuner card, I wondered if I could find something for the PowerBook 2400.

I've got a PowerCD with a similar problem. My center spindle spins freely. Pushing in the on the latch spring button (the hole inside the 'ring' nearest the pause button) has my laser assembly do a little shimmy in and out, which I believe means it's attempting to focus, but with a CD...

There seems to be some voodoo with CF cards. I'd suggest to go smaller in size, 1 GB like your (glacial) microdrive, or even less (just to try). I ran into something similar with my 2400 and a PCMCIA-CF adapter. No matter what I did, I could not get any variant of Mac OS higher than 8.1 to...

Great, thanks for the info!

Anyone know what this is? It looks sort of like a SIMMdoubler, but it just has room for one simm. So it's like a right angle simm adapter? I'm just not sure what the purpose is. It came in a lot with some RAM, just thought I'd check with the experts here. 

Terrific thread, and great pics. Thanks for sharing!

Yes.  Sadly, no, the CC is my only vintage desktop. I have some 30 pin SIMMs and several PowerBooks, but nothing else to borrow some from.

There are 2 installed (I need to verify if they need to be in pairs), I have reseated and swapped their locations. I don't have any spares, I'll need to seek some out.

I took a chance on an unknown condition LC 575 logic board for upgrading my Color Classic.  The good news: it boots! The bad news: it looks like this:  (don't mind the error message on the screen. I haven't moved over the right system enabler for the 575 board in the color classic yet. I just...

I have an external SCSI EZ135 that has worked fine until today. Now, the little latch you push all the way to the right doesn't stick in place any more. Which means the only way I can get anything to mount is by taping the latch in place, and who knows how long that will work (probably not...

I THINK I've seen that site previously, but it isn't on the archive nor Google's cache. I wonder why? Thanks for the heads up. I will look for a macally USB card. I admit, it's more one of those "fun to stretch" hardware projects rather than any real need being served.   But it'd be cool. :-)

I’ve read conflicting things about cardbus in the 2400, sone say a wire needs to be soldered inside, sometimes not. Once I get a replacement internal battery I figure I’ll crack it open then and find out.

Well....this was it. I have no idea why the 8 GB card worked in 8.1 but nowhere else, but I have a 256 meg card that i just installed 8.5.1 on and it's copying files back and forth happily. Terrific! Now to find a USB cardbus card, just to see...

I do have one more CF card laying around, that's a good point. This one is new, and it says 50x speed on it, I mean, SanDisk wouldn't lie, would they? ;-)

I have a PowerBook 2400c that is happiest running 8.1.  I have a CF card and a PCMCIA adapter to move files between newer systems and this. I can have the system folder for 8.1 on either the internal drive or the CF card, no problem. CF card is formatted HFS+.  For fun, I'd like to get it...

This is awesome. I've read about a few of the non-Apple Newton OS devices, but never seen one. 

Very cool. Thanks for the pics.

I just want to say....this is awesome.

Just posting in here to get notified of more 2400 info. :-)

It looks great. Where are you located? Somewhere with strong sun? I've had some trouble with the sun in the great northwoods of the US.
