What about a lombard? SCSI, USB, and a PC card slot. All in one and they should be going for very little now.

I've been hardpressed to find a 2400 anywhere, and I can say that the 2300c is dog slow on the web, even with 48mb of RAM. Click to expand... 64MB seems to be the minimal for …

One other point... Does the PB G4 need a PRAM battery to run? I found a replacement at OWC, but I want to be sure that it needs a good PRAM battery in order to start

I've been hardpressed to find a 2400 anywhere, and I can say that the 2300c is dog slow on the web, even with 48mb of RAM.

Personally, if you're looking for a notebook that'll be useful and compatible with the modern world, I'd go for a PowerBook G3 or later. These machines can be had for under $200 no…

If you're really set on either the 2400 or Kanga, here's a quick breakdown (since I've got both): Differences: The 2400 has a 40MHz bus, the processor (180 or 240MHz) is on a rep…

Find a well cared for 12" PowerBook G4 1.33 or 1.5 GHz model.

A well-oiled windows machine will run pretty decently. I just bought Windows XP Pro for this machine I just built, just so I could have windows. Sure, I can run all my apps perfe…

I like the Wallstreets, have 5 of them.

If things fall through with the 1400, I'll consider it. Seems like there are a ton of resources out there for the 1400, but to my understanding, most of them apply to the 2400 as w…

Am I the only one who doesn't mind using Windows?

What about the Duo or 2400?

Well, if things turn out as planned, I will have a Powerbook 1400c (166mHz 64 RAM) and a Lucent WaveLAN silver. *me hopes school's WiFi allows WEP* EDIT: ...which is good sinc…

This one has 2.0.

Yea, I use a silver and a bronze. You also need to make sure the hinges on old G3 laptops are good.

Which OS is on your 120? Newton OS 1.x is generally regarded as terrible. I sent a Newton 120 2.0 firmware to a member in the US ages ago, unfortunately if didn't survive the trip…

How about a PowerBook G3? That way, you'll be able to use a newer OS and printer with it. I have often run into a few issues with older systems and hardware/ software compatibility…

did you run a hardware test? i wouldn't be too worried about no chiming. my sawtooth g4 has been doing that for a long time with no ill side effects.

get a 3400. 5300's weren't the best ones ever.

No more than $50, if thats even possible. Will WaveLan silver work with WEP?

Batteries are going to be an issue since only brand new ones (on wallstreet G3s anyway) do 3 hours and used ones that still work will likely get you an hour or so. You can use 2 b…
