It may be almost four years old, but I really enjoyed this article by Charles Moore:

Low End Mac's Compleat Guide to the Pismo PowerBook.

An excellent page on compatibility of G4 CPU modules between different models.

From theos911's post here.

You can use Sawtooth/Gigabit Ethernet CPUs in a Digital Audio without any changes at all. Apple System Profiler may say it is running slow but other programs can generally detect it properly. (I have personally tested this, including changing the resistors and running benches) The only issue is that you are running a really slow CPU and the bus gets dropped down to 100MHz but it is good for testing a suspect motherboard or CPU.
I have not tried in a QS, but the QS is similar enough to the DA that it *should* probably work. ymmv

Best I can do with the scanner I have on hand. Friend of mine has a really nice, really expensive DSLR that I'm sure would do a better job. This sucker is for sale if anyone is interested; still untested but I'd accept a return+refund if it didn't work.

Which Mac logic boards share the same form factor and can be fitted in the same cases.

Need link to the old Ports & Pinouts(?) document that shows the @$$end of Macs up to the day the document was created.

edit: I found it on the QS'02, the filename is mac_ports_pinouts.pdf for my copy, coul

Didn't find a link, so I may have changed the name. It's a VERY useful Apple Document.

This seems like as good a place to leave this as any, at least till we have a functioning wiki again.
