I received the PowerBook in the mail. It's a beauty:
It even came with 2 power adapters
I was surprised to find a fresh install of OS X 10.3.9 Server on it. Sweet.
Yeah, I forgot that the Lombard didn't have an internal airport slot. I have an old Belkin PCMCIA card, but it's the wrong revision. Although OS X recognizes the card as an Atheros card, it doesn’t work. A search online revealed that this version of the card isn’t compatible with Apple’s Airport drivers.
I'm stuck with Ethernet for now. I tried Safari on it just for kicks, but it was a joke.
Camino was a little better, but trying to do something simple like play a movie trailer on Apple's site was impossible.
It has 192MB of RAM, I managed to swap out one of the sticks and bump is to 256MBs, but I'll have to get the proper sticks for it. The RAM in it is actually PC133. They're not low profile either, so they're only detected at half the capacity.
Overall, sweet deal for $30 bucks.
