Well the two old powerbooks (190cs and 500 with PowerPC) arrived yesterday.
I must say, wow! the Powerbook 500 was really built well. Compared to the 190cs which creaks and groans when you pick it up, the 500 is solid in comparison.
Anyone know much about the Powerbook 500 with PowerPC?
Lowendmac and Apple-History do not have an entry for it, I would have thought it should since it was appears to be a separate version (MacTracker lists it separately).
Was it just for European market? How long was it marketed?
Given the build quality I'd rather have had one of these than the 190cs.
Thanks,
Martin
