Apple PowerBook 190/66 Specs. The Apple Macintosh PowerBook 190/66 features a 33 MHz 68LC040 processor, 4 MB or 8 MB of RAM, and a 500 MB hard drive in a black portable case with a 9.5' grayscale passive-matrix display. Perhaps most notably, the PowerBook 190 models have a expansion bay module - used by a 1.44 floppy disk drive by default -. The PowerBook 190, released in 1995, bears no resemblance to the rest of the PowerBook 100 series, and is in fact simply a Motorola 68LC040-based version of the PowerBook 5300 (and the last Macintosh model to utilize a Motorola 68k-family processor). Like the 190, however, the 150 also used the 5300 IDE-based logic-board.

Mac Systems: Apple: Macintosh PowerBook Series

The Apple PowerBook series was sold from October 1991 to February 1997 and the earlier Macintosh Portable first was released in September 1989. Apple's pre-G3 PowerBook line had a bumpy past, perhaps more so than any other Apple product line, with both tremendous successes and a couple of failures, too.

The PowerBook Duo, PowerBook G3, and PowerBook G4 as well as the more modern MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models additionally may be of interest.

I think next time I might reinstall individual apps more selectively for a cleaner 'fresh start.' I'm sure I brought over some stuff I don't need, app-wise, which will inevitably leave their detritus when I get around to deleting the app. Mac migration assistant manual. MA didn't work for me, no doubt due to user error.My first Mac, set it up from the box to the point of migrating over from my Windows 8.1 Pro PC it simply wouldn't see or recognize the PC.
