Throw it at whoever gave it to you and then kill yourself.

I act like I'm annoyed by this, but when I don't see it in a thread I get anxious. Thanks anon

>>58948849
What you have hear is a 68040LC laptop. It doesn't even have a floating point unit. Check Apple archives for the last version of MacOS, and copy it to floppy disks. That's probably the best you can do.

awww that's nice of your mum

>>58950443
But is there any cool project or software to run on it?
Also is it any rare

>>58948887
Mad because you got no gf?

>>58950607
It's uncommon in 2017, but not rare. Apple had non standard ports for keyboard, mouse, modem, and monitor. Does this have ethernet? If so, that would be a plus. Getting Linux on old world ROM 680X0 Macs was a pain in the ass back in the day. You might look into it if you get bored. Apple has old MacOS floppy images in their archive which are free to download, otherwise.

68k portables have pretty nice keyboards and are generally surprisingly enjoyable to use for non-internet tasks

>>58950856
also >>58950731 is right and you can just install by floppy disk, it's probably a cheaper solution especially if you've got an old P4 or the like laying around with an internal drive that can write bootable disks

Take your pick. You can use them for all kinds of offline work; information processing, games, emulation, development, whatever. In the end they still do math very fast, and the 540c was one of the best 68k PowerBooks while they were still the top of the line. As long as you know your limits and run contemporary software, they'll do whatever they did when they were brand new.

The 540c is still a consumer-grade system that was made in the thousands to millions, but it cost upwards of $5,000 depending on the configuration and as such is probably decently hard to come by nowadays.

Tyrone made a good investment. You're at home playing with your new toy. Tyrone is out getting dome from your wife.

Idk who gave it to you but she's a keeper

Thanks! I'll try to play with it as much as I can. I started messing around with applescript and its really fun. I'll buy a new battery too

>>58952399
Obviously they're not going to be great for web surfing with their lackluster browser support, but you can do a lot of other things with them that don't involve that aspect. The best thing I've found about older Macs is how diverse the big public software archives are in terms of what you can find and also how easy it is to get that software. While there's of course plenty of commercial staples like Office, Photoshop, Mathematica and the like, there's also seemingly a lot more niche/expensive professional stuff out there as well as "toy" stuff like say, fractal generators, that are a lot easier to come by than on other platforms except maybe Windows.

But you can still definitely use them just fine on the internet if you'd like, you don't have to worry much about tracking down NIC drivers since most higher-end systems have them integrated since the Quadra days and AAUI transceivers seem surprisingly cheap if you're in the US, some of the software in that arena is pretty lame though, my biggest gripe is the lack of an SSHv2 client which means you'll have to make use of some kind of bridge box to securely get into a system that doesn't have v1 enabled.

>>58953563
Godspeed, hope you have fun with it, it's a pretty kickass flagship system. Old stuff is a really good way to explore new ways to use computers that you never would have cared for otherwise.

A battery might be a little expensive, I'd personally go for an AAUI transceiver and a shitty little SBC that you can SSH into for easy file transfers.

>>58953563
I kinda doubt you can buy new batteries. You'll probably have to get it rebuilt.

>>58954171
I think you can, I've seen new batteries for the older PB 100 series floating around for example.

Would they even be able to work with li-ion cells if you managed to repack one?

>>58954191
Considering those PB100 SLA batteries have a shelf life of around a year, I doubt there are any working still.

>>58954191
They're probably rebuilt and sold as new.

>>58954266
Yeah, you can go ahead and post a link, because I've never found one working for my Powerbook 100.

>>58954240
I've never come across a working stock one myself. I'd love to take my 170 on the road after all the time I spent rebuilding it.

>>58948849
Holy crap my dad had that same model back in the early 90's. I remember playing FA18 flight simulator on it.
