Hi All, I've acquired a G3 Powerbook (generation before Pismo, I believe, the screen printed name on the LCD bezel is "Macintosh Powerbook G3", and it doesn't have a bronze keyboa…

No worries man... You're Good to Go.

PC-100 or PC-133 RAM will work perfectly in their rated machines and below. In other words, your PowerBook G3 will work perfectly with "PowerBook" RAM.

Faster doesn't hurt, just make sure it's not slower.

thanks guys! (now all I gotta figure out is why the backlight doesn't come back on after sleep in OSX 10.1 but works ok in OS9.2.2 :-)

Probably either Driver - Incompatibility or Bug. [ 04-06-2002: Message edited by: D'Espice ]

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…

I find it interesting that so many people who replied to my little thread refer to ordering the Powerbook from Apple. I am wondering, have most people purchased their Powerbook th…
