That's v-e-r-y interesting.
Someone once asked me why they don't work and, correctly, pointed out that the 190/5300s weren't ROM disabled to not recognise LiIONs, only software disabled (i.e. only from 7.5.2, Enabler 1.1 or something). I never got to try a 3400 batt in my 5300. But of course they won't charge. But so long as they work, who cares? Having both PBs is the advantage in your case. I think 3400 batts new are pretty cheap now, right? I'd be interested to know whether MyBatteryPPC recognizes the LiION. This's quite a find you've made here. Which OS are you running? 8.1? That's what our 190 ran [still runs in hands of new owner]. Pretty good web browser on 24MB RAM + Netscape 4.08. 3+ hours on a 190/5300 is not_bad_at_all :-) My Lombard batt is dead. Sigh. $130 for a replacement. *Deeper sigh* Cheers, RD Remy Davison Contributing Editor/News Editor, Insanely-Great Mac <http://www.insanely-great.com> mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RD's PowerBook page: <http://www.macpowerbook.com> -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
