Log
- Got a suitable power supply, it uses M4895 or M4896 or compatible. I ordered a M4896 from the ebays \o/ and it works.
- Put Opcode Open Music 2.3.8 on a CF card and tried installing it using a PCMCIA -> CF convertor
- Dropped network driver for Etherlink III PCMCIA ethernet card from http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/mac/enet3c589/ in System folder but it doesn't seem to work with the card tested.
Turning it on
It doesn't (always) turn on properly. I've seen following working:
- Fold screen open
- Kill all the power, so remove battery and plug
- Wait 'til green LED on screen is off
- Put battery and power plug back in
Todo
Get some networking on it, either wired or wireless. It will most probably need drivers tho.
