What the hack! My current Powerbook 170 Setup
Posted by: dan.dem on 2021-01-30 01:53:51 Thank you, Dirk. I remember Mulberry, but never have tried it. I am still admiring your setup (and the photos of it). I had actually used a slightly newer, less fancy variant around 1998 with a PowerBook 5300 directly connected to an Apple 16" Monitor, Toshiba portable SCSI-CD-ROM drive (which could - like Apple's PowerCD - also act as a stand-alone CD-player), SCSI hard and ZIP-drive, PC-card modem, ADB keyboard and Mouse. This setup took over half of my desk and was neither fast nor very stable. Have you successfully sold your gear, Dirk? I managed to further reduce my "collection" (see sig-line).

You will find it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/kalibri-Computer-Monitor-Wood-Stand-oak-black/dp/B07HRT24LS
Posted by: Hopfenholz on 2021-02-02 04:26:15 Thanks for that. I'm not sure if you ever got around to selling your collection but I'd love to buy the Studio Display if you still have it. Chers, Joel
