Powerbook 150 for $15! | Why is it so hated? | Review & Repair

Описание: Hi! Thanks to https://www.pcbway.com for sponsoring this video.

So I picked up this Apple PowerBook 150 for $15. Lets find out if it works and if its worth repairing!

The PowerBook 150 packed a Motorola 68030 CPU running at 33Mhz. Which gave great performance for the entry price of $1450.

This particular example suffers from a very common issue, broken plastics around the hinge. We break out the epoxy and attempt to rectify the issue.

We also look at using the BlueSCSI to get a new OS onto the built in hard drive, and then connect to my AppleTalk network to copy and play some games.

If you have a PowerBook 150 then you'll need the Utilities Disk. You can find the files and disk image here:

If you need the Apple Legacy Recovery CD in a .HDA format suitable for the BlueSCSI, you can get that here:
