I like the rainbow, but it was more so the logo placement that doesn't sit right with me. It felt more like it was randomly placed and didn't actually belong. It kind of destroys it all for me, kind of like the first and second facelift of the 6th generation Camaro's logo placement (I didn't...

Re. The Lombard/Pismo keyboIt really isn’t the bronze or even that the keycaps tend to be shiny but what is not so great is that the scissors mechanism half-arssed shows thru’. Even having done that mechanism in a darker plastic would have made it less sucky.

...it was an absolute punish. :lol: But yeh, in answer to the OP, nope, you cant do it... the cases look superficially similar but the PDQ/Wallstreet case is physically thicker and more angular than the Lombard and Pismo. I honestly dont know why one would want to change the bezel though...

That is for-sure an extremely early iBook prototype. Case would have been previously used to test the Wallstreet. I would love additional photos of this - this is something worth documenting thoroughly!

...(clear cases were also present in the Macintosh line for some kind of "smoke test") The Plexiglass was probably used for another purpose before, hence the cross-outs in the stickers, as the Wallstreet was sold previously (Jobs famously made a clear presentation with a narrow line of products)

No idea but the board inside is a G3 Clamshell iBook, not a Wallstreet. The keyboard is a giveaway too :) Edit: And you can see the "mezzanine" connector populated behind the keyboard in the overview picture. I've never seen that populated on a production iBook so that would confirm this as an...

Hi all, I’ve come across this rather unusual transparent PowerBook G3 / Wallstreet and I’m trying to learn a bit more about it. It’s clearly not a standard production machine, and there are a couple of interesting labels inside, including “Wallstreet EVT1” and “Plexiglass (EVT-2)”. Has anyone...

The answer is no - the screen will not line up with Pismo from Wallstreet/PDQ. Keyboard - its different too! Cheers AP

Yeah this- I use firewire, usb, and wifi cards in my Wallstreet/PDQ's- they're in my opinion the best (portable) bridge machines out there as they're pretty much a beige g3 shoved in a laptop case. that said, I seem to recall seeing people swapping ibook and tibook keycaps onto a pismo...

The Powerbook G3 is my favorite laptop by far. But the best version (Pismo) is really ugly. Has anyone ever attempted swapping the top case of the Wallstreet PDQ and keyboard onto a Pismo? Keeping the performance while retaining the look of the PDQ (the best looking laptop of all time)

...interesting, I’ll see what I can probe from the male side of the barrel jack. However, this power supply works on my G3 Pismo, so I’m pretty sure the PSU itself is fine. I was hoping there were known probe points on the Wallstreet’s power board or mainboard that could tell me something useful.

PCMCIA WiFi card, OS 8.6 and OS 9.1. I will try OSX 10.1 later. I have since read that only the cards with the square antenna, and NOT the cards with the curved antenna will work, but my square antenna Silver card won't work either. Neither one has the thick antenna. Where can I find the FW? I...

...like an earlier 11 Mbit/s Lucent Technologies Orinoco Gold card? At least the latter ought to be detected if Mac OS 9.x AirPort software exists on a Wallstreet. A Proxim card with a "thin" antenna on the other hand may have a different chipset, which possibly does not work in a case like this.

I tried two Proxim Orinoco Gold cards, and every driver on Macintosh Repository. Card not recognized. I'd be willing to try ANY PCMCIA card that DEFINITELY WORKS, but there are no guides on what to do. Anybody done this, anybody willing to post a how-to? I realize that the correct Gold card will...

...the ram expansion socket installed, but I guess it just takes up the space where the modem normally resides. I don’t think any software or firmware would need to be adjusted, since the Rage Pro does support up to 8MB. I have a spare one of those sockets sitting around but no Wallstreet, alas.

...screen on my Pismo isn't that great, but i do have at least four spare LCDs in relatively good condition (two from Lombards and two from Wallstreet 2s). Is it possible to use one of these LCDs in a Pismo? They are still in their respective bezels (bad plastics and faulty hinges), but can be...

...the top menu bar? Also, This 3400C DOES allows clamshell operation, i.e. works with an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard with the lid closed. According to Google AI, my G3 Wallstreet won't do this due to overheating when the lid is closed. The unit vents thru the keyboard. Anybody tried this?

I tried to clean the heads with a long wood Q-tip without disassembly, now it won't read discs. Let this be a cautionary tale to those who might try this. DON'T! Anybody ever work on one of these Mitsubishi MF355H-498MA drives? I know they're cheap, I just want to try to fix it. I've got an...

...before you get the thought of hacking in the interposer board from one of the comparatively far more numerous ZIP and LS-120 drives for Wallstreet systems, the optical JAE-IDE pinout and the removable hard drive JAE-IDE pinout are completely different. Still, this could be the start of a...

...the module connector is connected straight to the drive control board via 2 26-pin FFC cables. It's odd that there's so few third-party Wallstreet modules but from the looks of this maybe not, maybe it's not possible to easily drop a later JAE drive into the space that this mechanism takes...
