iBook 500 Questions

Hi All, I just bought a 12" iBook 500 from eBay... wanted something a little more contemporary than my trusty Wallstreet. I've done some google-ing and gotten a lot of information, but I have a couple of questions. 1. The 'book can accept an Airport card, but are there limitations on which cards c

Repair or Replace PB?

Kind of in a quandary here, so I'm looking for additional input to help me make up my mind. A couple of weeks ago, my 15-inch AlBook (1.25Ghz) was damaged on a business trip (I won't get into the specifics of that, but I'm also looking to get a new case). It didn't appear at first that the dama

Ti 1ghz

The last model of Powerbook that was able to run OS9 not in classic-mode was the G4 Titanium 1ghz. Another way of saying this is that this is the last model that can boot from a version of OS9. I had assumed that because of this I could somehow install *only* OS9 on this machine. Maybe I'm wrong a

If you are back in there pulling stuff like your processor card, you really should check your HD cable at the connection to the hard drive, it is possible to have misaligned the plug and a pin is bent or you are off by one pair of pins. Just 2 cents worth. Good luck on the revival! -- G-Books

It depends upon the laptop you are trying to fit. I hadn't heard that there were any wireless cards that say "windows" that work for the macintosh. I could be mistaken, but there are a few and far between amount of mac compatible solutions other than the airport card. On Apr 9, 2005, at 2:31

Pismo battery gauge (jaguar)

All - I have been test driving a Pismo over the last day. I'm curious to find out just how stable the battery is . My 12" Al PB has a very linear / predictable usage rate. The Pismo is interesting, because it doesn't seem to decrease nearly as predictably - although, it has been on for a long
