    PB5300 Zip Drive Question

    I have one (and I keep it , sorry). Got it when I bought two 5300 wrecks and accessories , that VST drive was with it. Works with the 3400c too. Your best bet would be to have an eeeebay automatic search notification for any 5300s and 3400Cs , sometimes they are for sale with accessories...

    Thanks Sirs . It compared bad with the mighty Kanga :p It scored 445 with MacBench , when the Kanga scored 747. The second serie 233 Mhz Wally with cache did 764. Interesting read on LEM : http://lowendmac.com/2014/low-end-macs-compleat-guide-to-wallstreet-powerbooks/...

    Mini vMac on 68k PowerBook?

    There's a screenshot at the bottom of this page : http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/screens/more.html Showing a System 1.1 guest Mini vMac running on a System 7.5.5 host. The host HD icon is the standard Mini vMac HD icon. I doubt it's a fake. But it's not the page I remember . there was a...

    Mini vMac on 68k PowerBook?

    Remember reading about someone actually running Mini vMac in a Mini vMac... Can't find the page now, maybe it was on Gryphel site. Should run on a 68k, but on a 180 would be very slow. Maybe the black screen is just that, it take a lot of time booting... Fastest 68k i have is a Duo 270c, will...

    3D-Printed Objects

    I’ve experimented 3d printing some Wallstreet hinges pieces. My idea was to try with some carbon fiber reinforced PLA plastic, which is stronger than PLA but less flexible, and doing the hole for the axis small enough with a slot at the top, making like a clamp around the axis to have a good...

    Lombard fit for Pismo?

    You mean the brownish transparent keys ? Yes they are the same. But I think you can't exchange the all keyboard as the connector ribbon is not of same length . As for the case, I don't think the bottom part would fit , as the connectors are different on the back (SCSI for the Lombard, FW for...

    Thanks. Some soapy water, a tooth brush, then shine the case with a soft cloth with a bit of WD-40, and it makes the plastic looks new ;) Also the picts show it to their advantage.

    Long time I didn’t add a « new » machine in this thread. So here a nice Duo 230 I just got from BadGoldEagle (Good actually), thank you Sir, run beautifully thanks also to our distinguished Bibilit who repaired the HD. Will change the broken lid lock with one from a 210 wreck .     Not new in...

    Wallstreet replacement hinges ?

    Anybody tried doing some replacement ? Maybe machining some in a stronger metal ? I have several Wallstreets , each of them has more or less some looseness in the screen lid rotation. I know this means it's gonna break some time and hold my breath each time I open one...

    "Restoring" PowerBook(s)

    Super guide ! This is going to be an reference for me now. btw, as you are working on a 230, did you tried disassembling the screen from the front plastic bezel ?  I've tried doing that on a 210, exchanging a broken front bezel with a good one to fit in front of a good screen, but it looked...

    Hi, I have a Wallstreet 250Mhz with apparently seems to be a corrupted NVRAM problem. It boots fine on MacOS 8.1, but no way to make it boot on Mac OSX 1.2 Server. I can go up to the System Utility chooser at startup to choose OSX 1.2, but then I get a screen with a broken folder : If I choose...
