Hey Pete, I have a Pismo and love it, went from 320MB to 768MB of RAM shortly ago, 512MB DIMMs work just fine, no strange behavior. Yes you can just shove in a larger drive, I am going to replace my 10GB with a 5400rpm 40GB from IBM shortly. Mine is a 400MHz model and I have run Mac OS X [currently 10.2.3] on it very well. No desire to use Mac OS 9 on it at all.
As far as trackpad tapping ... the PowerBook 190 [but not the 5300], PowerBook 1400, PowerBook 2400, PowerBook 3400, Kanga G3, Wallstreet G3, Lombard G3, and Pismo G3 all support this as do all iBooks and all PowerBook G4s. In both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 you do have to turn it on - just visit the System Preferences Pane for Mouse in Mac OS X or the corresponding Control Panel in Mac OS 9. Have fun with Jag.
