Hi Listers,
I purchased a grayscale 5300 way back when they were first released for
$1350 and it was a total headache. Then I didn't know much about Powerbooks
and it was running 7.5.2 (that was the problem). After a few months of
visits to the Apple Dealer and a few times sending it to Apple, the dealer
agreed to buy it back from me. Well a few weeks ago I purchased a Powerbook
5300cs at a thriftstore for $30. Everything was intact except for a Power
supply (got one on eBay-Mint/Sealed in an original box). Got the Power
Supply and shazam- I find out the 5300cs has 40mb of ram, a 500mb hard drive
and the battery lasts almost 2 hours!
My question is it does have a Video Out port already in place (I have a
cable and have used it with an external monitor) but do all the 5300cs' have
this stock or was it ordered this way? If you have a 5300 you MUST go to
that nexcomp.com website that was posted a few days ago! Batteries for
$24.95 (unbelievable- I bought two). They list a Focus Enhancements 16-bit
Video Card for the 5300- is the one I have (if it was the one Apple
installed as an option) a 16 bit card as well? Any help would be
appreciated.
Peace, Todd
