PowerBook Lombard, 400MHz G3, 256MB RAM (2-128's), 20GB HD, DVD-ROM/CD-ROM.
Very nice physical condition, bright screen with no dead pixels, and a
battery that lasts 1.5-2 hours. Includes a round 45W power adapter.
It's currently running OS 9; I bought it in August for my daughter to use in
college, but had trouble getting OS X installed on it. It would lock up
during the install process, and if I installed OS X on the HD with another
machine, the Lombard would lock up after about 20 minutes of use in OS X.
After doing some research and asking around about the issue, it appears that
the trouble is most likely with the L2 Cache on the processor board, but I
don't have a second known-good processor to test it with, and I'm not
inclined to spend more on it.
That said, it does run OS 9 just fine -- apparently OS 9 is more tolerant
about the issue with the L2 cache than OS X. In the last week I've run
various Classic apps on it for hours -- iTunes, MS Office, Filemaker, etc...
And my kids put several hours of game time on it this last weekend with some
their favorite old Mac toys; nary a hiccup (will leave the shareware games
on the drive for you to enjoy!) So this would make a great machine for
someone who needs a nice laptop for running Classic apps, or for someone
with a good processor sitting around looking for a home.
Asking $80 or best offer, plus actual shipping costs from 57105. Please, no
lowball offers; this really is a nice machine. PayPal works best.
