Hello, first post!
I managed to get a PB 5300cs from a company that was switching over to PC.
I now use a PCMCIA ethernet card to connect it to the internet and/or my stationary Mac, but it would be nice to be able to get rid of the network cable, so I'm wondering:
Does anyone know if it's possible to find a WLAN/Airport/etc. card that would work on a PB 5300?
I have an Orinoco Silver in one. Works great
I'm also thinking about upgrading the PB to a bigger harddrive and according to lowendmac.com one can put really "big" drives into it. Has anyone on the list tried doing so?
When I first got my PB 5300c I put a 20Mb drive into it. It did require drilling out the HD carrier for a different hole pattern. The newer larger drives have holes placed closer to the ends of the HD. This was done to allow larger platters inside the drive. The carrier is plastic and this mod isn't hard to do.
