    Upgrading Powerbook 190 to 68040 with FPU?

    @jmacz Nice to see you over here! I'm expanding my territory a bit, as you can see. After the last outage interrupted an important conversation, I decided it might be a good idea to diversify. So you'll start seeing more of me here hopefully :) c EDIT: Hey! I can do this here!! Come back...

    Upgrading Powerbook 190 to 68040 with FPU?

    They're OK if you accept them for what they are, but they cannot compete with modern trackpads. Beware fakes! They're everywhere! Finding a genuine 68040 is quite difficult, from what I've read, and many so-called 66/33 '040s with FPUs are actually fraudulently remarked 25/50 68LC040s. Many...

    PowerBook 500 series PPC upgrades

    How timely! This thread is a few weeks old, but it just happens that I finally got my NuPower 167 back from Europe this past weekend, after 6 long years! If there's any information from it that might be useful to document (which can't be found in those photos), please let me know. c

    Calling Daniël from The Netherlands!

    Well, the other forum is back online, so I was able to get in touch with him. I don't know how much longer it will exist at this rate. The problems caused by neglect are beginning to show more overtly. c

    68kmla MIA

    Yeah, it's back. But for how long I can't say. With that in mind, it's probably about time I start moving some of my activity over here. I'm feeling less inclined to contribute anything if it's going to get lost or become inaccessible due to bit rot caused by the admins' negligence. c

    Calling Daniël from The Netherlands!

    The other forum seems to be offline, and I was in midst of an important conversation with Daniël from The Netherlands. So, if you are here, please PM me here so we can continue! Thanks! c

    iMac G5 wont chime anymore

    I concur with @Kai Robinson : recap time! I'm not looking forward to when my iMac G5 does that. As it is, it needs a new LCD (multicolored lines everywhere!) c

    Any other A+ folks out there?

    Well, I'm not an A+ folk, but I have occasionally thought about becoming one, but - aside from the fairly high cost, even with a voucher - when they stopped being perpetual (take it once and it's good for life), that kind of turned me off, because I don't really want to have to retest or do...

    Recreating Backlit Macintosh Portable Display Flex Cables

    My first post at TinkerDifferent! I'd formally introduce myself, but since most of you probably know me from 68k MLA already, a simple hello would be enough, I think :) Anyway, I was fortunate to get a functional original cable to replace the one that had torn in the backlit Portable I bought...
