Re: Question on disk formatting
One great thing abaout the 233 cacheless dog is that it will upgrade to the 250 and 292 Mhz processor card. I suppose that means that it ups the bus speed to 83.

Re: Some questions about PB500 series batteries
Hi, You need some of the PB500 restoration programmes, like EMMpathy and the Mac one (whose name escapes me) I wrote a small tretise on the subject which I'll forward from my battery file. BTW, who wants a copy of the 500 take apart video? You have to be willing to copy it twice, and pass it on to two other listers, etc for free. That way I'll copy mine once and send it to cary on the chain. This should be old enough to fall into the public domain.

Re: Some questions about PB500 series batteries
Don't expect the programmes to pass the battery with flying colours, even though the battery takes a full charge and functions well. Go to Smart Probe in EMMpathy and pay attention to what it tells you is the maximum capacity of the battery. If it tells you it's 1752 mah, (or better, as there are batteries which have better capacity than the Apple ones) then just keep going till it fills that capacity.

Re: nanny note Re: Service manual
The policy arose because of Apple's habit of having the service manuals available on a website, freely available, until they decided that too many of us great unwashed were getting access to them. Publication of their (and others) website URLs would cause them to immediatley hide the material. The best way to deal with this is to do it privately. There should be NO banning of the question on the list, only of answering it. BTW, a list member kindly sent me a CD-ROM of these, and I would be glad to share it with people, if there is an easy way to do it.

If Apple distributes these things over their web site, why on Earth would they object to someone telling someone else that they do it, and give the relevant reference? I found and downloaded the 190 manual on my own, but it would have been nice to have had it handy without threading through all those Apple search screens. Now, distributing the document itself is another matter entirely, of course. But the URL?? That's already public, if possibly not widely known. I'm not sure you actually got the TECHNICIANs service manual from Apple- which is what people were asking about. Maybe you did, but I suspect not. -B -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Intelligent Battery
Go to Smart Probe in Emmpathy, and it gives you the fine details, including total capacity, current charge, etc. At that point, all you need to do is let it charge to that total capacity.
