Macintosh PowerBook 165c Laptop

September 10th, 2009 | by admin |

I’ve been wanting this laptop since I was 5 years old, but could never afford it and one day I got lucky at the thrift store for $10 but it needed some work to get it running, it had a few things on the drive, It had Microsoft word for mac and System 7.1 so I went to apples site and found the image for the restore disks and I downloaded and imported them to my MacOS emulator and used my USB floppy drive to make the disks, before I did that I backed up Claris Works 4.0, the laptop has 4MB of ram, 80MB SCSI Hard drive, a Motorola 68030 running at 33Mhz, it had 16MB ram but the expansion card was toast and causing it not to boot up, and I had all the classic mac games on floppy, but the floppies went bad form old age

The games I’m hoping to find for it are….

Space Junky
Mac Brick out
Super Munchers
Munchies
Tetris
Glypha III
Organ Trail

If you can think about any classic Mac game, please post a link to it and I would greatly appreciate it

    Is there much demand for these computers, I might be able to get a couple of them but I know little about Apple computers and therefore would not be able to appreciate them.
