Hi there,
I've just purchased a 540c, and while it came fully-loaded with all the
gagdets it's also come with a password-locked hard drive. No problem, says
the seller, just reformat and you'll be away. Made sense, but in practice
it's causing me hell. Trouble is I can't find a boot disk image
Okay where the heck can you find this cxomapany or card? I have to replace
an old dayna ethernet card.
Do a Google search - their distributors are everywhere. It's a 16-bit
10/100 card, so it works in PCMCIA slots, not just Cardbus.
Cheers,
RD

Hi,
We've got what appears to be a totally dead PowerBook G3 Series (Wallstreet)
battery. I've been through the Apple KnowledgeBase suggested drill of

No, no term needed. Use the 1.2.2e driver with the Dayna; 2.2.3 doesn't

Charlie,
In the same vein, using one of these adapters, could I connect the laptop

Why not get a 180c or a 165c with a broken display, and create a
good one? I don't think the other thing is workable.
