Linux on the Powerbook 3400

Submitted by gnickers on May 27, 2008 - 6:19pm

We recently got a couple of powerbook 3400's from the dumpster. After a bit of work we ended up with some spare parts and a working machine:

180mhz 603ev
256kb L2
6 gig hard disk
CD rom
80 mb ram

running 8.6 quite nicely. Just need to find an 802.11b network card with the lucent chipset and the wireless will be working. Then i came across a retail box set of yellow dog linux ver 2.3 with 3 cd-roms. So we decided to create a dual boot machine.

The people that work there were very helpful. It only took about 5 minutes to check in my machine for service.

Macbook Pro, iBook Keys

Submitted by themike on January 29, 2008 - 4:38pm

Because I had nothing better to do today at work, I took all the letters and punctuation off an iBook keyboard I had lying around. I also used the tab, caps lock, return, etc. just so I could have the 3 rows completely white.

Theres actually a few benefits to doing this:
The ENTIRE key now glows when I turn on the keyboard light- it looks way cool!
For some reason these keys seem to be giving me a little more tactile feedback.

new toy: eeepc

Submitted by eeun on January 11, 2008 - 6:10pm

I had been posting before about buying an OLPC, but once I figured out what I was looking for in a sub-notebook/PDA, it looked more and more like the Asus eeepc was what I wanted.

Had a bit of Christmas money left, so I'm now posting from my new 2G Surf version.

First thoughts: cool. Small. Cool.

The keyboard will take some getting used to. It, too, is very small.

Haven't decided whether to keep the Xandros default install or go for Ubuntu (there's an optimised version for the eee pc) or XP.

What to keep?

I have several II's and not enough room to keep them all. A pair of IIe enhanced, a plain IIe, and even a II+, all of which work. Also some spare plain IIe mb's, unknown functionality. Ditch the plus, b/c I can sustain my IIe population? Or the IIe's, b/c they rely on custom soldered in chips?

After a while with no internet, I'm glad to be back.

I've finally got my first computer job!

The Macintosh Portable

Took delivery of a skidload of apple stuff just before xmas as i knew i would have some time then. Fixed up the imacs and B & W's to dispose off and broke up most of the other stuff into the parts bins. Did get some nice old bits, including some machines i have not owned before like an 8550 (appleshare file server) an 8500 MP, a 5300 and two 3400 powerbooks, which should prove interesting. Also some G3 400 cpus so the beige G3 and the all in one G3 can get a speed boost. Quite liking the AIO machine.
