I'd been looking for one of these - model number M8859 - for a few weeks, as (I believe) it's the fastest powerbook capable of running OS 9 (http://lowendmac.com/pb2/powerbook-g4-867-mhz-1-ghz.html). The one I got has 1GB ram, and has OSX 10.5.8 installed. I'm planning to dual boot it with OS 9.2.2.
For me, it'll complete my collection, as my powerbook 1400cs is running 7.6.1 and 8.1 and it will run 8.6 (once I get > 24MB of memory) and I also have an SE/30 running 6.0.8, 7.01 and 7.5.5. Yeah, yeah, I know I don't have a 128k running system 0.97, 2 or 3 - but I ain't *that* hardcore. And with the wife questioning this weird hobby as it is, I can't afford the size/obviousness of desktops.
