I'm not sure to be honest. 233MHz I believe? 14.4" display. Needs a fair bit of work, no battery, no optical drive, crack in the top case around the PC Card slot, trackpad is no longer adhered to the top case... list goes on. However it does power on and it does boot.

Had to reseat the processor card in the Pismo again. Needs a screw to hold the heatsink down I think, and possibly some CRC Contact Cleaner for the processor socket.

Cory had a great suggestion for the optical drive faceplate issue before in the IRC channel. Throw in a second battery. For some reason that idea had slipped my mind but considering it needs a new battery anyway, it couldn't hurt to keep the second as a means of blanking off the bay where the ODD would normally be (plus I can keep the slot load optical drive for when I actually need it, win/win).
