Heh lets just see who has a PC Card Cage, let alone a CompactFlash card. The 500 series PC Card things are pretty much non-existant. I've only found one store on the entire internet that even mentions them, although out of stock and when I emailed him about them, he said something ignorant

Powerbook 190?

Hi, I have seen a powerbook 190 in a secondhand store but I have one question. On the top of the LCD screen there is a powerpc stamp. But as far as I can tell the powerbook 190 has a 68040 cpu. Could this have had its screen replaced or is something else up with it? Its running OS 7.5.5 and has

Well, it could have been upgraded to a 5300 logicboard. Or, someone could have replaced the screen bezel with one from a 5300.Or, it could just be a 5300 with a 190 sticker. But yes, it is very possible that someone put a 5300 Mobo in that 190. Out of curiosity, how much is the shop asking? Hope

Well, I would definately check those specs! 40 meg HD? That is extremely small, and could barely hold 7.5.5! Actually, I don't even think it could. My guess is it has 40megs free on the HD. Like John said run Apple System Profiler on it. I am positive it was installed with 7.5.5, but just

...It just says File Sharing starting up and will stay like that until the battery dies an hour and a half later, if I let it go that long... The usual cause of this is a corrupt AppleShare PDS file on the harddisk. This is an invisible file at the root level of any shared harddisk.
