I'm watching a G4 PowerBook which is being re-listed, but am
nervous about a hairline crack in the plastic surround of the DVD
slot, in case the PB has been dropped. If I did buy it, would the
PCMCIA card that is now in my Wallstreet also fit this item? I
attach the link and would be grateful for any comments:

The PCMCIA card should fit. However, what are you using it for? - you
might find that there are already sockets/capability in the Powerbook
that replace whatever you were using the card for. For example, my
younger daughter's Lombard has two cards which are swapped around as
needed: a Wifi card, and a Firewire card. In practice, recent
Powerbooks provide both functions internally thus negating the need
for either card.
More to the point, I'm not sure that this Powerbook is worth £400.
Given that 1.3 Ghz G4 iBooks can be bought new for £700, and a 1.5
Ghz G4 Mini can be had for just over £400, this seems a lot for a
damaged machine about 3 years old or so.
Of course, if you can get it cheap via the auction then that would be
different. But I see that there's a reserve on it, which might well
be set at something silly like £395.....
