Re: PowerBook 3400 Problems (can't locate the 68HC05)

I found two almost identical chips with no trace of markings re: the 68HC05. I assume Apple made sure these were not going to be confused for Motorola's brand. Apple probably bought the 68HC05 core from Motorola as a macro to its design automation system, and then had whomever make the

Yes.. if CD-ROM discs dont show up then you probably dont have the CD-ROM extension in the system folder. Which may make sense for a computer that did not ship with a CD-ROM drive. You need to get it off a system install cd. On May 9, 2004, at 6:40 PM, Eric Strobel wrote: On May 9, 2004, at
