I just got my first 190 (a CS with 16/500/no AC - for free!) and was wondering what's required to turn it into a 5300? My usually trustworthy instincts tell me to not bother, but my heart tells me to investigate further. As I still don't know if this 190 is even alive (no PS with which to reset the PM), I'm of course as usual getting ahead of myself.
My recollection of the couple of 5300s I no longer have was that the LB and power board are the only significant differences. I don't see anything else obvious in the SS manual takeapart but haven't yet done an exhaustive cross-reference search of the parts data-base. So, to go direct to the well (youze guyz 'n' gals) rather than dig my own, should I bother? And if so, what do I _need_, and what _should_ I get to make it usable? Will the 8MB ram module I found inside work with a 5300 LB? LOL, like it matters! I'd be sure to buy a bigger module anyway. <G> No, I don't _need_another_PB_, PPC or 68K, but I just can't resist. TIA, Dan K (now with PBs from 100 to 3400, but no 5300) -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
