The PowerBook G3 is one of the most versatile and amazing Macs you can have in your collection. I can't say enough positive things about my Pismo, which I upgraded with a G4 daughter card. Still find it extremely useful to this day, especially for bridging the vintage-to-modern gap. Apple truly doesn't build 'em like that anymore.
That said, if PPC is the base requirement, and one wants to keep their collection limited to the vintage compacts, a Color Classic would be the best solution, upgraded with a 575 mother board and a PPC processor card. This configuration is switchable, so it can be run as a 68040, without much difference between it and a CC II for authenticities sake, and the ability to software switch to a PPC to run the transition software. And unlike an Intel "mod", this is still a basically authentic upgrade solution, contemporary to the CC, not to mention easily restorable to stock configuration.
Is there any plug and play PPC upgrade for the SE/30?
