This is true and not true. The card is physically identical but the 
memory specs are subtly different. Some makers have produced modules 
which will work in both, generally however you cannot know if your 3400 
module will work in a Kanga until you try it. AFAIK damage is unlikely if 
it doesn't work, but I guarantee nothing.

For more details read the devnotes for the respective 'Books:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintos
h_CPUs-PPC_Portable/PowerBook_3400.pdf>
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/Macintos
h_CPUs-G3/PowerBook_G3.pdf>
     those files (and many more!) can be found here:

If you find it doesn't work, here's a great source (IMHO) for the module 
you need:
