Directly from Apple support site:
"The original PowerBook G3 Series has the ability to use two expansion bay devices and run from the AC adapter with no main battery installed.
Note: The PowerBook G3 (Bronze keyboard)and PowerBook (FireWire) do not have this capability."
So, Malcolm and Tom, you are saying that it is not true ?

Told you I was new around G3 powerbooks ...
After a lot of searching on the net about my particular machine (pismo)
I found a little article that states a pismo cannot work without a main
battery in one of the bay .... since I have no battery and only the AC
as my power source, I am missing a link !
I can't believe that to be true.
When I build and test machines I almost never have a battery in them.
I am sure I must have built and run a Pismo without a battery in it, on AC
only.
