"For the eMate hinge, the spring inside can break free and cut the internal display cable. It can be a pretty big deal, since eMate parts and repairs aren't something you really want to do these days. It's not a big deal if you don't…"

"Ok, thanks for the clarifying"

"This is actually Jason Perkin's exhibit, running Microsoft Xenix on an Apple Lisa"

"Thanks for the photos Rick!  I'd probably call the Lisa a Macintosh Zero, in the numbering hierarchy..."

"Awesome. If you get any odd boot up or access issues, let me know. I'll send you an image of some jumpers I had to bridge. I only had to do this on a KingSpec SSD, not the mSATA, but it was on my G4. I don't think you'll need it…"

"This is definitely legit, I'm the guy who preformed the modification :) (I'm not the guy selling it though) The way this modification works is pretty simple, you remove the PPC750 from the iBook and solder a PPC7410 in. As the two are pin…"

"Hey John, I look forward to next episode's SSD segment. I have SSDs in almost all my machines, from the Portable to MacBook Pro. Feel free to get my phone number from James if you want to compare notes."
