Nervous Self Upgrader - G3 Lombard
I recently purchased a sweet G3 333mhz Lombard on ebay. I want to upgrade RAM (from 128mb). Looks like this would be a fairly easy self install from the Apple support pages, yet i'm unsure what to buy. for instance OtherWorld Computing lists two diff types of RAM; TechWorks PC133 SO-DIMM - OWC PC100 SO-DIMM Memory Modules - I read this PB could accept 512mb, though I don't think my needs absolutely will require maxxing it out. Hard Drive My Lombard only has a 4 GB drive and I want to run OS X and have lots of free storage for Docs, etc. How tough is self installing a HD ? Is current ebay item # 571548 http://tinyurl.com/84s6a HD on ebay a decent one ? Suggestions for a budget conscious somewhat capable self upgrader ? Thanks in advance !

Re: WTB: 3400 CD
Hello, probably very hard to get. You need a spezial one for PB3400, cause the 7.6.1 update is a spezial one. Be careful, there is a common 7.6.1 update and a PB3400 only 7.6.1 update But in my opinion the 8.6 fits this Powerbook best. Anyone have one for sale or know where I can get a PowerBook 3400 series CD (With 7.6)? Thanks...

Re: [SPAM]: Re: 520 PRAM battery
How do I recharge it if it isn't dead? You don't. You buy a new one. Sorry, but there it it. When the battery starts to die, the computer starts acting wonky. How the battery is dying is that it won't hold a charge. Or holds less less. It takes time for it to croak, making it all that much more inconvenient, and the only thing for it is replacement, which, admittedly, is also inconvenient in PowerBooks. But worth it, for you'll probably never have to buy another one, and your computer will run. Like new. gwd -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

1400c Woes
I got a 1400c yesterday... I have three processors for it. The original 133mhz 603, a Newer 250mhz G3, and a Sonnet 466mhz G3. The original and the Newer processors work fantastic. However, I'm having tons of trouble with the Sonnet card... I've reinstalled it like 5 times, and this is what happens each time... It will boot, and run for about 5 - 10 minutes. Then it will lock up (mouse wont even move). Rebooting is impossible without power manager reset. When I do reboot, it will lock up within seconds of booting, or lock up during the boot process. Eventually, it will not boot at all. This card is brand spanking new I just bought it from Provantage and had it shipped FedEx overnight! I'm pretty disappointed Anybody have any ides on whats going on here? Anyone have experience with these 466 Sonnet cards? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: WTB: 3400 CD
I've been using 9.1 quite agreeably on my 3400 for well over a year and a half. I do remember some reports of some people having difficulty getting 9.1 to load but I did not experience any of those problems. The archives may have info as to the workaround if you experience it because I remember there was a trick. Other than that wrinkle, if you even experience it, I can recommend 9.1 as solid. --- Wanda K.

Re: 1400c Woes
Interesting. I'm running Mac OS 8.6. Is this QuickTime version specific? That seems odd that a Sonnet card would be incompatible with a version of Mac OS.

Don't know about the ram, although I have upgraded my 3400c a couple of times and it's easier than upgrading the hard drive. Neither one is tough if you can get a copy of the manual, which a list member was thankfully able to supply. I'd steer clear of the drive from e bay. You can pick up an 80 gig samsung drive with 8 meg buffer for for 133 at ncix.com. It is an oem drive, same as the other one, but ncix will stand behind it. Check it out here : http://www.us.ncix.com/promo/promosale.php?webid=grand2005 The drive you suggested isn't even named. The fact that it is described as an 'Apple' upgrade means nothing since your Powerbook will take just about any ide drive. Big money for a no-name drive.

Either will work, the bus speed of the PB (100MHz) limits the speed. OWC's memory is good, and they usually have good prices. Another place I recommend is Data Memory Systems http://www.datamem.com Replacing the memory is very easy. http://www.pbfixit.com has good step-by step instructions, as does OWC and Data Memory. Hard Drive My Lombard only has a 4 GB drive and I want to run OS X and have lots of free storage for Docs, etc. How tough is self installing a HD ? Harder than installing the RAM, but not undoable. Again, the above sites also have guids for doing that. Is current ebay item # 571548 http://tinyurl.com/84s6a HD on ebay a decent one ? That's a good price, not amazingly low, but lower than most. There is no such thing as a 'Mac' HDD, though. Since the mid-90's any IDE PC drive would fit in most Macs. ANY currently shipping notebook HDD will fit in your Mac, so long as it meeths the thickness requirements, which for the Lombard is 11MM, IIRC.
