Powerbook 5300c

Posted by: directive0 on 2012-10-09 07:48:23 So I'm close to having my second most favoured Mac back; a Powerbook 5300c I used all through high school, only to have the screen shatter! Well Beachycove was nice enough to give me a 5300c with a loose power jack, but an immaculate screen! I managed to get the screens switched last night and things are looking good! Neither the drive in my original 5300c or the new one were booting, but the donor had a 1.3 Gb drive! I will try to get them sorted tonight using SCSI target disk mode. Here's some pics.
