Free for postage, dead PB 520 battery
I'm clearing out some Powerbook 520/540 parts. Can anyone use a dead M1906 battery (or three of them)? They could be yours for the cost of shipping from Michigan (48104). They weigh 12 ounces each so figure a pound with packaging. -- Andrew in Ann Arbor technology is the answer, what was the question? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I was able to upload pictures to E-bay using my Dad's PB1400 (OS8.6). I used the wamcom Mozilla 1.3.1 http://www.wamcom.org/ and Netscape 6.2 and uploaded one photo each for six auctions. I didn't use E-bay's photo upload tool, I just browsed to the photo on my hard drive.

I ordered and got a drive cable, drive carrier and screws from Wegener Media. It went together okay. So now I have a wireless 3400c with 4Gb and 48M RAM. $20 for the computer and $15 for the cable and screws (I already had a drive carrier). I also had the HD and wireless card.

It came with only a floppy but I swapped in a CD drive from a G3 Kanga. I put a 128Mb CF card and installed OS 8.6 on it. I installed a wireless card and drivers and that works. The battery was flat but fortunately I have others. So know I have a moderately potent laptop with wireless and a tiny drive. Does anyone have a good source for either the HD cable or screws. I found some sources from a web search but I'd just as soon not have to pick one at random. I already checked Wegener, PB Guy and pbparts.
