SD Card to Powerbook 5300CS to Play Old Games ?

Wondering if anyone here knows a way to use a SD with a older Powerbook 5300cs for purpose of loading up old games on the SD card to be played on the laptop.

Any advice, suggestions appreciated.

Moderator Note: Please feel free to move to other category "OS X - Apps and Games" (or keep here in current category " Apple Notebooks" ) I'm not sure which is more accurate for this question.

First, you can't boot a Powerbook from an SD card or USB, it won't work. You can boot your Powerbook from Firewire but that's it.

And, Welcome to our forums.

Is there a way to hook up to a TV like , red white and yellow composite ?

As you should know...a Powerbook 5300cs is a 20 year old computer. It does not have much in the way of modern ports on today's computers...it doesn't even have a USB port. My advice would be either use an old SCSI external hard drive (which you will need a special adapter for). Or use the 5300's ethernet port & connect to a 2nd computer (if that's even possible due to MASSIVE OS version differences).

As a side note. Powerbook 5300'a were real DOGS! My wife & I both owned one when they were the latest & greatest. And they were slow as molasses in February!

And alas they were never great, just the latest. They were a good match for the Performa 5300. Slow old beasts so really retro just don't bother.
