The PowerBook 500 Series was released in May 1994 and includes 4 models: the 520, 520c, 540, and 540c. Although the specs may differ, repairs and upgrades for one will be applicable to all other models.

Need to remove text files from a PowerBook 540.

The floppy drive won't work. Can I somehow connect it to a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet? thank you. Beth

How about connecting your PowerBook via Ethernet using: AAIU-15 to RJ45 transceiver. Then you copy off your stuff to another Mac or file server.

The only other way is to replace the floppy drive Apple P/N 076-0462

Sadly, you'll need to search out another PowerBook to steal it from. Parts for this series is hard to find these days.
