i have a pb 3400 bought new. Runs fine but no screen. battery shot. Has to be plugged in.
No screen now. Been told I need a grapics card. Need it because my Agfa Studio scan, 11 x 14
in mint condition will not work on OSX and Agfa will not upgrade. also does not have USB connection.
So......anyone have a battery and a graphics card for a PB 3400 ?
Thanks.
PowerMac, Mac OS 9.2.x
The PB 3400 does not have a separate gfx card like a desktop computer does. The video hardware is soldered to the logic board. New gfx hardware means a new logic board.
When i checked the source I've used for PowerBook bateries, they no longer list one for the 3400. Google is your friend for that.
I used an 1998-vintage AGFA DUOScan under OSX (Panther) by getting VueScan:
It worked an order of magnitude better than the AGFA software that came with the scanner that only worked with OS9 and older. It's payware but, believe me, it was worth every penny.
Your problem will be in connecting a SCSI scanner to a newr Mac. I used an Adaptec PCI SCSI card in a PowerMac G4 MDD, but those cards are getting hard to find.
Suggest you join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap
After you join, post a WTB (want to buy).
Suggest an alternative - Buy a working PB3400. Should be cheap.
Cheers, Tom 😉
