The original 233 had no cache at all (I have one with the 12" DS LCD, fugly).

You also had 250's and 292 speeds on the original Wallstreets (83 FSB capable) and the optional 13" LCD had issues with failure at the cable end. The Second series PDQ got rid of the 13" LCD for the 14" and they modified the top cover so it fits (you get a cliff instead of the tapered top that matches the bottom). They also got rid of the 83 FSB (just like later Beige G3's did) so you had 233/266/300. The 233 being the low end had 512K cache while the others were 1MB.

My best Wallstreet is a 13" LCD 292 G3 with 1MB cache, should be faster then the PDQ 300 because of the FSB and it uses PC100 RAM.

All in all nice laptops except for the 12" DS option and the shitty hinge design that would break and rip up the LCD cable in the process. If the hinge didn't break it would get so loose that the display will not stand up alone anymore.

You can pretty much use the Wallstreet as a media converter, the drive modules unclude CD, DVD, floppy, LS-120, and Zip 100 and anything else (tape, MO, etc) can be connected to the SCSI port.
