Merry Yosmas! I remembered all those cursive letters. I imagine by the time this reaches you, you'll have gotten your 'real' gift [and I did, thanks again!], but I wanted to send something small direct as well. Canadian shipping is expensive after all. So my gift to you today is AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.
Enjoy, and get started on that wall!

I think the CD-ROM drive in the PowerBook 5300CE is IDE, not SCSI

not sure at the moment and don’t want to take the time to look it up

the 5300CE does still have a SCSI port, of course

there's no internal CD-ROM for the 5300 series, which is why the questionably-functioning external SCSI drive was included in the package I sent

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
oh yeah, internal CD didn't happen until what, the 1400?

I was there then too, and have a disassembled PB 190cs sitting in my home office...

welp and here I thought that I was gifting the oldest mac in this thread


there's a 56k modem in it already fwiw, but it'd be fantastic if you could get that connected via SCSI to ethernet by daisy-chaining it off of the CD drive lol

(also p.s. if you look around on the hard drive you might find some, uh, nice pictures of your own as well)

I was already planning to continue my 5300CE experience, but now it seems more... urgent

I did notice the 56k modem, but I don't actually have a landline to hook it to

when I first started using the Mac I doubled the font and page sizes and printed at 50% to get crisp 144dpi text on my ImageWriter II, I didn't realize at first that QuickDraw would take care of that for me

then TrueType came out

Pro tip: if you just want to get UniFi APs set up and running a basic network, you don't need a controller - you can just use their iOS app to get them configured. Gonna finally set up a separate SSID/VLAN for my Internet of poo poo devices.

Would you recommend getting a powerbook duo?

They seem to be readily available on ebay but also seem to have issues with bad capacitors in the DC regulator that need to be replaced before the machine destroys itself permanently, and that can be really tricky on a laptop board

That particular duo 280c is one fine machine though :fap:

Also, my kid liked playing with it, same with the wife and I. Although, my son played for a bit then told me to type 'nick jr' in.








For those interested, thanks to Eschaton for helping me out, here's a copy of the drive:

I'll probably put together a Sheepshaver or Basilisk image of the drive.
