That's great! I was reluctant to install the ROMinator because I don't like changes in the "look & feel", but if I could use it in a less "aggressive" (this is very subjective!) way, I'd surely try it.

Nice! I have a ROMinator kit pending to be used, but I was wary to fiddle with my Plus, as it’s working fine now (I just had to repair the analog board). I’d have a question… Is it possible to set the ROMinator to use the standard chime and boot icon? Txs!

I answer myself... apparently once mounting the ISO I get a SCCD device that remains after ejecting the ISO, and when mounting a new one from the web interface it will appear instantly on the Mac without having to restart. I guess there must be a way to mount an "empty" SCCD drive on startup, so...

Hi! I couldn't work again on this until now... I didn't manage yet to try your advice, as I don't have enough free space in the startup volume, but I did try to mount with RASCSI and I could mount the ISO file obtained with bchunk. Nevertheless, I had to restart the Mac for the CD to appear...

I received my copy today. It looks full of great content, and I’ll enjoy reading it, but I must say that the layout is super basic… it’s a pity they didn’t put attention to font styles, margins and these things.

Hey. I want to make some 4MB 30 pin SIMMs for fun and the only source I could find for the appropriate memory chips are from 16MB or 32MB SIMMs. I plan to remove the chips using my cheap hot air gun, but I never did such thing. What is the right technique? (Temperature, time to apply heat...

So I got the ICs and I could work on this again. Visually the chip didn't look too bad: But when clipping the legs (I don't know how to use properly the heat gun, so I didn't want to risk removing a pad or something) I could see that were quite corroded, and when cleaning the pads I got a...

Can SheepShaver mount directly the HD images used in RASCSI?

OK. Thanks. Then I understand that the required extensions or control panel items (if any) for such a PowerBook will be coming in some universal install, right?

I don't really know... I'm just supposing this after seeing the copy that guy sells at eBay, but in the "Legacy Recovery CD" I couldn't find it. I found distributions for other PB models, but not that one. For Sys 7 versions I see these folders - 7.1-PB 16x, 18x 1.03) - 7.1.1- PB 150 - 7.1.1-PB...

OK. I found these utilities in the "Legacy Recovery CD" It would be cool to find the Original floppy distribution that came with this model.

I answer myself... it seems a backup/restore utility, and this is in particular the application to restore the backup (so it should exist also something like "PowerBook 145B Backup", maybe). https://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/548087/apple-macintosh-powerbook-145b.html?page=138 So my question...

Hi, trying to learn more about my "new" 145B I found a guy on eBay selling this floppy that contains a tool named "PowerBook 145B Restore". I couldn't find other references to this (I checked in the "Restoration CD SSW Disk 1" but I don't find such this thing). Does anyone what is it and where...

Well... I ordered the caps following the @Mac84 guide. Let's see how this project ends. Thanks for your hints!

Super thanks! I'll document myself and get the replacement parts. I'm OK with the soldering job but I must say that the part that scares me the most is to disassemble it without breaking the plastics...

I got for cheap a 145B today. Cosmetically is in good condition. Hinges are a bit stiff but not broken, and it has the rear lid. The power adaptor is missing, but I could find a temporary solution. I get boot chime and apparently right HD noise. Logic board seems OK, but I get no image. What...

What is the connector type for these adapters? I'm getting a 145B without adapter and I think (please confirm) that it's 7.5V, minimum 2A and the barrel is positive in the center, but I don't know the type of barrel. Does anyone know this?

My modern Mac can't mount it, and I tried to mount it on Basillisk with System 7.5 and the "Virtual CD/DVD-ROM Utility" and I got an error (Insufficient system resources). I'll try tomorrow with the RASCSI

Thanks a lot, this helps! In fact I did find before the first link, but I didn't notice they made a typo in the first command, saying "sudo port install chunk" instead of "sudo port install bchunk", and as it failed I got stuck, with the second link I noticed the error. I could test the...

I'm trying my luck again with a second color ribbon, as the first one was bad on the inside (the rubber gears inside crumbled into dust). Last time I couldn't figure out how to print in color. Can anyone give a hint?
