    Wallstreet laptop

    Because the original Wallstreet only has 233mhz without L2 cache, 250mhz and 292mhz. Which PDQ came in as 233mhz with L2 cache, 266 & 300mhz. Also Gestalt ID is another thing. Cheers AP

    PBG3 Wallstreet- switching OS?

    Originally I had 25gb partition which was pulled from PDQ which it was able to dual or quad boot, it didn't work too well in Wallstreet which got me stumped hence asking that question above. So what I did - I rebuilt fresh m.2 inside it and went from there. Cheers AP

    Spot the difference - PowerBook G3 292mhz & 350mhz cpus.

    Yes there are resisters under that sticker - its R33 and R34. It is showing 350mhz in Guage Pro and Norton's System Info as well - so across 3 programs (incl Apple's System Info) it is showing 350mhz. Weird! Cheers AP

    Spot the difference - PowerBook G3 292mhz & 350mhz cpus.

    edit; What I found about this 350mhz - it will not accept more than 256mb RAM as it will throw up memory error at boot up - Those memory cards are good working order as they're working in other CPUs.

    Spot the difference - PowerBook G3 292mhz & 350mhz cpus.

    Spot the difference! I recently bought this PowerBook G3 Wallstreet - very specific purchase because I had Sonnet 500mhz G3 card to go for it, it does not work in PowerBook G3 PDQ. This is PowerBook G3 Wallstreet CPU, one is stock 292mhz and other one is 350mhz appears to be overclocked...

    PowerBook Pismo LCD Backlight Replacement

    You can replace the CCFL tube - I have done that before - you need specific length and open it up to replace the CCFL tube. At the end of the day it'll be brighter but if the screen is already yellow tint - its done. You can still buy new LCD for it today. Cheers AP

    PM6500 and Upgrading to 9.2.2

    Just a thought; you could always insert the newer 9.2.2 AppleShare files/keychain etc into 9.1. Ive done that before in the past (I can't remember why/what was the reason) but I always use the last version of AppleShare in earlier Systems as low as 7.6.1 due AFS. Cheers
