Re: pb1400 -- what resolution

Ben and David try for a 166c if you can get it as the 166 has a later ROM (the 177 and most 133 units cannot be upgraded to 166 but will still take G3 cards) No, the Sonnet works with ALL the ROMs! - Sometimes there are conflict problems with running OS 8.6 or 9.0, but in fact these never

I've accumulated several non-functioning batteries for 68K PowerBooks. One M3053 for PB 100, two M5654 for PB 140-180, two M1906 for PB 5xx, one or two M7782 and one or two M1499 for Duos. I'm not experienced in rebuilding batteries, but possibly someone here is...? Anybody willing to offer

Hello everyone! It's nice to find a list for my kind of tech. I'm the proud new owner of a used 5300c -- just exactly what I wanted (We run a 6500 and a 6400 desktop systems.) It came with a klunky but usable external scsi CD-rom, and as soon as I got it home I upgraded to 8.6 from 8.1, which

Alas, no. The only USB pc cards available are Cardbus, whcih the 5300 isn't. And although some etailers list both SCSI to USB and USB to SCSI adapters, don't get excited- you cannot find a device to go from the laptop SCSI port to provide a USB port (unlike SCSI to ethernet solutions). For
