Confusion about Wallstreet 1/2 specs.
How a little retro mood can get someone into liberating again
Found a Wallstreet hyped with the following specs: 13.3 inch screen & 300 Mhz G3. Low-end-Mac DOESN'T list a Wallstreet with this configuration. Does it exist?
Either it's a 14.1" Wallstreet II with 300 Mhz, or in fact if it's 13.3" then it must run at a lower speed. It also has included the floppy which was optional back then.
On top of that, it seems to only have 32MB installed which again points more to a WS I than II.
Anyways, for price being pretty low, in working condition and good shape and shipping for free, I hit the Buyitnow button.
What can I expect from either a WS I or II? New territory for me. Have to admit, the expected screen res made me jump for it. The best my clamshells do is 800*600, as does the 1400. Plus, I really love to be in either OS 8 or 9 world. It seems like a nice upgrade to both, clamshells and the 1400 in terms of productivity.

I think the websites are right, but maybe your one has been upgraded. Seems to me it is a series I upgraded, as the II all had the larger screen.
While I do not the upgrade path for a WS, just bumping it up to 300 Mhz from 266 or so doesn't seem the big deal. Sonnet lists a 500 mhz upgrade.
Wallstreet 1's had a 292 Processor maybe somebody rounded up (fastest unit too because of the 83 FSB instead of 66 on the Wallstreet 2's).
