Clean install on pb 1400

How do I do this using a 8.5 startup disc with 8.6 already on the hd? Some control panel/extension problems are occurring so I thought this the best way to solve. I started it up holding down C key, but got message during install that 8.6 already on disc and either choose a different destinati

Re: OS 9.1 on 5300?

I do agree with the others. 9.1 on a 5300 will be rather slow. I've got 8.1 running on my 5300c with max ram (64MB) and it's still very slow sometimes. I rarely use it as I have 3 other Powerbooks too. David T. >At 10:41 AM -0700 4/12/2003, David wrote: > >I'm currently running OS 8.6 on my

Re: OS 9.1 on 5300?

You can get away with it if you have enough RAM, but it's not recommended. Your performance will leave a lot of be desired. If you ask me, anything above 8.1 on the 5300 is pushing it. > I'm currently running OS 8.6 on my 5300. Would I be best to stay with that > or upgrade to 9.1? I'm not certain

Battery rebuilding question / Powerbook 500 series

Hi listers I am about to rebuild a couple of Intelligent NiMh Batteries that are used in PowerBooks 500 series (520,540 and 550) that are not so "intelligent" anymore to hold a charge. I have found what seems to be a replacement type of cell batteries. They are a bit smaller (14 x 50 mm instea
