I might just try that... they are cheap its worth testing.

I might have to try the ZIP250 swap idea... That would add some functionality, but, I don't think I have any ZIP250 disks left hanging around. Need to check. My wife had a couple, but, I don't think we left any data on them... moved it to CD-R a while back.

MacSSH doesn't work with TLS as I am finding out... doesn't like the crypto on CentOS 6+ But that's fine... I don't really use it for that much. I can setup a local telnet server and hop around from there.

Spend 5min just cleaning the drive bay and contacts on the removable drive with some cleaning products. Start with rubbing alcohol on the surfaces and then move upto something stronger if needed. There are some electrical safe products at auto parts stores (CRC is the brand I use) that can get...

My internal (Pismo) VST zip drive works pretty well. I get >1MB/sec of write speed and I can read/write most disks. I was able to get NTFS-3G/MacFUSE installed under OS X 10.4.11 and can read NTFS formatted disks just fine. Only have a couple... I loaded the latest Iomegaware 4.0.2 tools...

I need to do some remote access and was thinking if this is possible on Classic (OS9.2.2) Ideas? On 10.4.11, this is trivial...

What is the fuse in the controller board? Is it labeled "F1" on the circuit board? I want to test it before I recall. My battery was previously recognized, but, didn't hold a charge at all. Do I just test the continuity between the contacts of the 3 pins? (it is a small rectangular SMD for F1

How would this work? Just run a ribbon cable through it and avoid the inverter and tap directly into the LED? Would I lose the ability to "dim" the display?

So, I am going to go down 2 paths. 1) I ordered a pair of CPUs from China (7410 BGA @500MHz) to do the swap on one of the spare CPU modules I have. It is a 400MHz module and I am going to rework it to 500MHz If this goes well, and it survives an extended run time at 400MHz, I'll up it to...

I have a "dark corner" that has developed on one of my Pismo laptops. Is this a result of a bad LCD or the CCFL? I seem to recall it was the  CCFL from  prior discusion. How hard is it to swap out the CCFL? Or maybe even rebuild/rework the display driver board?

One of my precious Pismo Powerbooks had a dead/walking-dead LG DRN-8080n drive in it. I could care less about burning CD/DVD from inside the bay. (that is what external writers are for, ya know) But, too boot from a disc and load an OS or run a game (like Tomb Raider Gold) it is almost a...

Oh... I gotta get back into CAD and build up an STL for a port replicator for the Pismo with readily available cables/connections on fleabay. I'll get something going over Christmas break.

BINGO!!! I didn't realize they actually removed the covering on the center section instead of adding self adhesive foil as I had thought. I'm jealous they have a bookendz... I've been hunting for one now for some time. (I might have to dig out some connectors/cables and stuff and try and make...

How big is the SD card you have in your 540c? just curious if you had to carve it up or if the version of System 7 you are using can see the whole volume.

My google-fu is weak. I recall a pimped Wallstreet or Pismo where someone had taken self adhesive aluminum or metallic sheets and covered the sides of the cover (leaving a black "mohawk") down the middle. Does anyone remember this? I was trying to think how they did it and what tools they...

All, I am on the hunt for a sleeve or skin for my Pismo(s). I'd like to find a simple black one that will fit the thicker Powerbook G3 units. All the current ones I see are rather narrow/shallow both in height as well as with the front-back distance. Is there NOS or left-overs that someone...

Pismo for the win!!! I have two of them. One has nearly every accessory that was available at the time (minus the bookendz dock) and is "almost" in pristine condition. The other one is missing 2 feet and has a keyboard with 1 missing key. I ordered a "new" keyboard off fleabay and hope to have...

I got my YoYo originally a while back. I bought another one a year ago on fleabay from a different seller. Mine was not "NEW" but "newer" in that it had looked like it saw hardly any use/abuse. Until I get my other battery re-celled, my 2nd Pismo 500Mhz is going to sit idle or plugged in. My...

<rant> CC:Mail was one of the best mail apps I've ever used. We went to Lotus (IBM) Notes and it went down hill rom there. Give me Exchange (or Zimbra with either EWS or ActiveSync) any day. For a small shop, I'd rather donate a kidney to pay for a good workgroup solution like...

Pismo board from 400MHz G3 to 533MHz G4 (salvaged from a Power Mac G4 logic board) CPU recovery has not yet begun... I was going to attempt that over break.
