Developer Note - Powerbook 550c

[Paralel]

Does anyone know if a Developer Note exists for the Powerbook 550c? I haven't had any luck locating one online and I think it would really help with a few specific questions I have about that model.

The PB550 is a Japanese Only Released 520/540 with I believe a full '040, a faster bus and a black case. If you can find such notes, chances are it would be in Japanese. I'm guessing that your best bet would be for the 520/540 Notes.

550c is too different from 520c/540c for the developer notes to be useful.

Japanese is no problem. I know enough, and with some help from friends that are better than I, we could get through it.

Let me google it, and I'll post the results for you later.

After 90 minutes of scouring the net, I found nothing. Most of this you should already have:

Apple's archived technical sheet on the 550c: http://support.apple.com/kb/sp164

Apple's take apart manual for the 550c: http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/powerbook/powerbook_550c.pdf

Some user's PB500 Shrine, with a few 550c links from Japan: http://web.wt.net/~kikuko/PB500.html

---> There is also an article there about PowerPC upgrades in the 500 series burning out, its at the bottom of the page.

==> Some links come up as 404, so its hit and miss there.

I can guess that Apple-Japan might have it but I'm in the USA and do not read Japanese.

Sorry with coming up empty handed.

Is there a definitive guide to all the DevNote names? I know there's one floating around for the Service Source Titles.

Not of which I'm aware, which makes this search a little more difficult.
