It is a special machine indeed.

It has a full 68040 processor instead of the FPU-less ones found in 
520 and
540s.  I think it has a bigger display as well.

Also it is a darker color.

Thats all I can remember off the top of my head.

ok? Please let us know how you make out.

Speaking of wifi cards, anyone have or use one of
these Proxim Harmony
series cards?:

$15 for an 802.11b WiFi card looks to be a
pretty-darn-good deal, but I
can't find any trace of MacOS support on Proxim's
website. Supposedly
these Harmony cards _are_ supported by the open
source driver under X
<http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/faq.html#supported>
so could be a
good choice for a Wallstreet or Lombard under X.x.
I couldn't resist ordering a couple just to find
out, so when they arrive
I'll report their MacOS/X-compatibility. <G> I just
remembered the topic,
obviously if there are no drivers for classic MacOS
(ie: for PBs 500 and
5300) then all this is rather OT. <G>
