I had to open my revived 190 after the hinge cracked last time I opened it two days ago.. I disassembled it completely, opened the display and removed the two metal hinges. They were almost completely stuck due to its age, then I pulled the two pieces apart and cleaned the stuff spring/ shim...

nice docu from the stoneage mobile times

..technically speaking it is working.. :LOL: sticker on the 603e and has some wires soldered, seems stock threw in an old RAM card from another blown up 5300 in which it didnt recognize that card..in this machine it now sees 49MB, guess its 52MB..36MB card with the 16MB onboard.

I‘m looking for tool similar to Phipli‘s Soft-475 but for PPC..there's also ZDNet Clock, MacPro Overclock Tool for Intel Macs but I couldnt find anything for 603e PPC ( as in powerbook 5300)

Yesterday I got another 5300c, this machine already was on ebay one time, as I could recall it's photos. was well packaged, sold as defect..came in a nice laptop bag full of goodies like an Apple HDI-30 cable, an PCMCIA Ethernet card with dongle, a modem card, all their complete discs and...

found an external Iomega scsi zip drive, 1GB version, with power adapter and 6 1GB cartridges..nice but the cable is not the original and also not fitting to the Apple scsi Sub 25 Adapter. There also was an active terminator included. so to my knowledge I now need another cable, a...

this popped up this week in german Craigslist, 1200 bucks isnt really a snapper but interesting redesign for sure, with misspelled 'Macintosch'..

Oh I got lucky..found a Kanga very cheap, wasnt expecting much from.. but: it runs..even has a RAM expansion card in it, 128MB in total..awesome just removed the green Varta PRAM battery, it even still has the back door. the back cover is a bit scratched up and the closing hinge has broken...

I'm trying to get CardBus working in my 3400c, some old sources say that the Texas chip maybe to some degree compatible with CardBus cards but who knows exactly. https://lowendmac.com/2002/cardbus-upgrades-3400-hotrodding-tibook-paint-protection-sleep-of-death-and-more/...

At the moment I'm working on the revival of a PB 190cs, I got this unit a few days ago..I like the idea this is the last 68k machine of all powerbooks before and the fact that is similar to the 540 machines but with pcmcia, basically..and its actuall small footprint, smaller than the 3400.. of...

I was looking for a PowerBook 2400 but found them too few and rare and expensive but I thought they reminded me quite a bit of my very first laptop I had, a Dell Latitude C-series..these PIII machines are easy to find and quite cheap. So I found a Latitude CPi-R 400GT locally very cheap. I...

maybe its just a little thing, but what is that when you copy a running system to another disk and then after booting former normal working installers etc appear as ' pc file' under Mac Os 9.x.x? yesterday I did set up my PowerBook Titanium 800 Mhz with three new partitions, one with Tiger, one...

The Clock Chipping page refers to overclocking diverse vintage Macs with swapping the quarz crystals. About the PowerBook 3400/180Mhz Speedup it says: ''The PB3400c/180 has a 40MHz bus and a 4.5x multiplier to give the 180MHz machine. The 40MHz bus comes from a silver 40MHz crystal (two pins)...

I want to use an 3com Etherlink Lan card in my powerbook, but it lacks the dongle. There is another 3com card with a dongle but I wonder if its dongle fits the 3C589D. of course the Megahertz one is a newer PC Card ( not PCMCIA).

Got my BlueScsi kit today, it works.. after trying some installs via SheepShaver I wonder how to add bootable CD images to the .hda file sd card. I mean you just simply add the blank system image and after that the install CD/ image in the sheepshaver menu, thats no prob. But after that you...

I made 16 OS 7.5.3 system install floppies for my PB 520, they all seem ok but something is missing on the Install 1 floppy. it doesnt boot up, it is just being ejected. ( used this ones ). When I look on it's contents the system folder is empty but I guess thats normal. Only on my disk...

I noticed that my 1400c/166 works well, also has max 64MB RAM but it boots quite slowly, only have used some noName 'high speed' 16GB from eBay with my IDE-CF adapter..what CF cards do you use in your 1400s? I know that the IDE implementation on it is rudimentary but maybe it makes a difference...

Yesterday I decided to repaint my 540c, I thought it would be a nice idea to give it a fresh look.. Decided to also paint the keyboard, because its better for a matching overall look and matching german keyboard layout to begin with. Finished 540c: I also repainted the end caps...

I want to connect my 540c to a 1400c for updating the system on the blackbird, so basically from HMI-30 to HMI-30. Next week I'll get a set of cables together with an HMI-30 to 25pin adapter, also with a video-out cable. The L- shaped adapter has no switch on it, so it only will provide...
