costs can be outrageous on Epay but if you take your time you can get decent deals and I did buy a few of the wrong parts. I could have found a 1400c/166 for less than I have in mine but it was a good experience and I would do it the same again. I have been toying with the idea of building a Pismo

Has anyone on the list built a Pismo from parts alone.? If you've got one to sell, you usually make more money selling it in bits than whole. So, I think, it works in reverse, and you'd pay more in bits. Ben -- The VidaVerde Seed Collection Brithdir Mawr Farm Newport Pembrokeshire SA42 0QJ

between the Pismo and a TiBook and it functioned normally. Are you 100% positive that it's a crossover cable? Some TiBooks do have autosensing ethernet ports, so it would work between the Pismo and the TiBook, but not with the 5300. It's an added expense, but a hub or switch connecting the two

- Network Status It tells me that the cable for Built-in Ethernet is not plugged in. I suppose that, seeing that it IS plugged in, means that it is not receiving a signal from the 5300 for some reason. Now, I did check the crossover cable between the Pismo and a TiBook and it functioned

Is it possible to install the 6 gig hd from my Pismo into my 1400? Just about any standard 2.5 IDE drive should work fine in a 1400. I think there are some limitations with older versions of the MacOS that don't support HFS+ and some newer ATA-6 drives are flaky in an older PowerBook
