And, with XPostFacto, you can get to 10.3.9, although the screen resolutions will be limited to "thousands" (down from "millions"). The card cage is CardBus compatible, but with the "keys" of a PCMCIA card. You can modify CardBus cards to fit the card cage, or you can modify the card cage to accept CardBus cards. The former is easier, although you do have to modify every CardBus card you want to use. Firewire and UCB cards (CardBus only) sometimes work. Mostly not, though. These machines do make good "road Apples" as these are compact, although these are rather heavy for their size. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
