Hello PowerBookists, Finally, I have a shot at a reasonable p-book; it's a 3400c, 180 MHz, 80 MB Ram, CD-Rom and floppy drives, external Zip drive, & some SW. Any suggestions - price, parts swaps, upgrades, etc. I don't know how large the HDD is (assume 1.3 G), if there's a modem (probably not; I'll use an external). Question 1. - on the external zip, is there a cable to connect to the p-book and is it usable to connect other SCSI devices? Question 2. - the G3 250 MHz mob swap - has it been done by list members with any success? I know the original bus is slower. Q.3. - the CardBus mod (for the once posted price of $99) - will it be neccesary with the G3 250 swap? Q.4 - is there an AC adaptor, and how does the battery recharge (quickly, how often before failing). Q.4 . - the P-book 5300c now has Airport card capability using a third-party driver. Does this apply to the 3400c? Q.5 - I'll probably try to sell off the CD-Rom, Zip and floppy drives; are they hot-swappable and is there a market for them (no eBay, please). Thanks George
