Emmpathy for PB 500 series

2002-11-14 Thread Victor Nazarian
Take a look at my little shared folder http://63.104.169.60 and check out the PowerBook 500 Series Items there. I think I have a copy of Emmpathy along with a few other needed 500 series things. Victor Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2002 19:53:04 -0500 Subject: Emmpathy From: Andr=?ISO-8859-1?B?6SBS/A==?=egg

Hey folks, got a somewhat urgent query here, though not life and death :) A friend's boss has a PB 5300 with some important docs on it, but the battery is dead and he's managed to lose the adapter. All he wants to do is get the docs off it .All I have are Duo adapters, and maybe a PB 100

OS 8 vs. 9 for 3400c
