Very nice, suhail. I would add onboard AirPort to the new Duo, however. AirPort is vital on a subnotbook. With AirPort in both machines, you could also "dock" with non-docking mac…

Hey, good ideas! Here's my take on things... I think the dock is too functional, and is basically a computer in itself. I would understand if the subnotebook was like a PDA, much …

Thanx for the input http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif Here is a diagram of where the components reside. The Upgrade-Slot on the old Duo held a Co-Processor. To take the up…

Maybe you can have a second processor in the dock, of exactly the same frequency setting. Multiprocessor notebook when docked... (crowd cheers)... http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/…

I'm sure you can put dual processors in the Dock since the current G4s can handle duals in the same processor slot. But I don't think its possible to have the G3 active when the Do…

No. I mean this: If you have one processor in the PowerBook, why not have a second one (identical processor) in the dock?

That was a problem I faced, too. I don't quite know how to make them "talk" to each other, frankly. http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif Anway, I don't think it's going to h…

In another thread, I asked about Powerbook G3 must haves. I mentioned that I wanted to add a DVD-ROM drive to my 333mHz Powerbook. (I could not afford a 400mHz version yet I want…

To clarify, what I meant was that there is no way to use an Apple DVD-ROM drive with a PowerBook unless the PowerBook came with that DVD-ROM drive (because of the decoder kit). VS…

OK, I think I am getting with the program. Had I ordered my 333mHz Lombard from Apple and had the DVD-ROM drive upgrade installed, it would have been $300 for the DVD-ROM drive an…

Hi, i already have just bought the 333 lombard, and I am quite happy with it. (that's an understatement) . As far as I can see the lombard has all the options for dvd. interfaces t…

Go to Outpost.com and the VST DVD upgrade kit is $389 on pre-order. Still fairly pricey, but just barely low enough where it was worth it for me. I'll know in a couple of weeks h…

The best way to get DVD on a Lombard PowerBook 333 is to order it WHEN you buy your computer (you can only add this on when you order through the Apple Store) Apple basically gives…

There's an interesting report on www.pbzone.com about VST's DVD module being exactly the same as Apple's.

yeah, same module as Apple's different type of decoder, the same one used in the wallstreet kits. Many still feel the decoder built into the lombard is much, much better than the P…

That's right, and this is one of the "keys" to trouble free DVD viewing. (No audio/video sync problems). A lot of my friends with G4's have this problem and it seems that the mai…

Nope, you must get the 'DVD Option' when you order your Lombard 333, or else you can buy the VST Kit with the PC Card decoder.

Good Luck to you Osaka. http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif [This message has been edited by Silver Surfer (edited 01-31-2000).]

I can't comment on the VST drive for Lombards but if the decoder card that the VST drive uses is the same as the Wallstreets, then it's the same thing... Lombard's are noticeably b…

I bought the VST DVD for my Lombard and LOVE IT! It works great!. I travel a lot and it is great to watch movies while on the airplane. So what if it's not "a perfect screen image…

"OsakaBill", Just in case you might want to know, it's "Lombard", the curviest street in the world, not "Lomabard". And "Lombard" was a hoax, too. The correct name (confirmed by a…
