Powerbook 5300 CF card upgrde
Posted by: somorastik on 2011-09-16 07:03:18 Hi, Point 1. I cant boot from pcmcia cf adapter on my 5300cs, where system is broken on the hard drive. Point 2. With CF-IDE adapter i get sad mac codes: > 0000000F > 00000001 in both slave and master mode I decided to replace the hard drive in mine, the 5300 CS, since it always disconects when I try to erase it or install onto it-seems broken. Disc Warrior didnt help. I tried to overclock as well, as stated on http://www.alksoft.com/5300_overclock.html but: "In the meantime, though, I managed to change the multiplier on my 5300cs by moving R48 to R46 and R43 to R127. " resulted in me unable to boot. And in the resistors of interest http://www.alksoft.com/5300_images/resistors_close_half_reducd.jpgyou marked up R47? Because of what? R46 is horizontal? I reverted the resistors back the mac boots but I have the problem with CF. Mails I send to alk-soft returned back.

They have good stuff there, but I should have read the review. I will look after some good converters and try to overclock the Dirty Old Bastard.
