if i were to be really pedantic, i would suggest that the pb5xx upgraded to ppc *might* be the earliest and dumbest ... but i'm not, so i won't. you can certainly get early versions of OS9 to run on it (it's a hack, but i managed it on my pb520c ppc), and i "think" i read about someone using a wireless card with such a beast. greg -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
