Ok I have a Powerbook PowerPC thats the 500 series. (I have pics) I want a Powerbook 5300CE or a Powerbook 3400C Maxed on either. As long as it takes an IDE HD (Its been awhile for me so I need to go back and research) I can provide that. Honestly I have some discs but none of OS 7.5 and 7.6 I need that. I have OS 8.5 but thats its. I am even interested in taking both a 5300CE (Or what ever it was called that was the 117mhz model) and the fastest 3400c maxed is what i am looking for. I will throw cash at things to. If you are interested in the 500 Powerbook then let me know I am not sure I want to use it but if someone has a SCSI Cdrom I will DEF run it. I think it might be more fun then the 5300 lol. Also I have a extra ram stick from the 540 i pulled apart to make the 500PPC color. Although I guess I am stuck with thousands of colors on that though so again... hmm lol. Anyway looking forward to having some fun!! |

I honestly have no idea on either as it came with a 100or so mb HD I pulled that and put in a 340 from the 540 and no boot of course and I forgot to check. The more I look at it the more I like it however I have no clue where to find a bigger HD for it. Anyway as far as i know it came as a PPC so I have no idea there sorry. If you can help me find a SCSI CDROM I will test it for you and tell you more. I just have to know the person who takes it will use it. Honestly I still am thinking about keeping it if I can find the SCSI CDROM and Any other upgrades I can do lol. Still want a 3400c maxed though to lol.

I have also been told I should look at the 1400 so I guess I am looking at all from the 5300 to the 3400. I still would like maxed and I am willing to throw in cash as I said. I only want to and I am really looking for something my wife can use to and well.. I really liked the 3400c to so maybe a 1400 and 3400. The 500 would be nice to get going but I think those two would be better lol. Make things easier. So just further info lol.

The 1400 has a 10x better keyboard than the 3400c, but the 3400c has a better display, better speakers, can take more ram, faster video, and can be overclocked to 275mhz as you can see from my extremely outdated PowerBook 3400c web site here: http://www.danpalka.net/hooper/ The big plus of the 1400, though, is it can go up to 466mhz G3.

Whats the max ram on the 1400? I guess i could check apple but I would rather ask. On the 3400 You mentioned. If it takes IDE Laptop HD's I have a 30 I can put in it. I just need the system and maxed ram if you would. I think I am going to go for both a 3400 and a 1400 and push them both as far as I can. the 3400c is for me just because I had one after losing my Pismo and well, it really was a nice machine lol. On the 1400 I had one but it was a very well used one. I am sure if I find a nice one I would love it.

Max ram on the 1400 is something like 96M ram I would stick with one machine and pish it REALLY far. Persomally, the 3400c is a nice machine for music and for hardcore internet stuff (due to the PCI chipset) but the 1400 can go all the way up to a 466Mhz G3 CPU, which rocks...and is the route I would take, even with the initial dip in speed due to the much slower NuBus system bus. I believe most of the PPC laptops were IDE, but I think adaptors are available to convert 2.5inch IDE drives to work in a SCSI laptop, check that out...I think i found such an adaptor on ebay.

I've never came close to maxing out the ram on my 1400. 64mb is good enough for what can be done on a 1400. I run photoshop, appleworks, I have a screenwriting program, illustrator. I used photoshop 5.0 up until june 05 when I upgraded from an imac 400mhz to a mini. Just had to upgrade. I figure it will be another 10 years before I upgrade from that. The 1400 is really easy to work with once you do it the first time. I can tear one of mine apart and get it back together in less than a half hour. Upgrades are easy. So that's my recomendation.

Hmm... I still think a 1400 and a 3400 are the way to go lol. I liked the 3400 and for some reason want another as well. I have a few idea's with my skills ocing to try on one. Anyway I am watching a fgew upgrades and 1400's as well as a 3400 on eBay. Maybe I will end up with one but I Def. Pref to trade. I was thinking of a 3400 with a 180mhz and going with the MB you mentioned you had and trading parts with you if you do not mind.
