The 3400 will run X too, at least up to 10.1.5, but the support for sleep
and for PC Cards is shaky, not to mention that you can time the screen
redraws with a sundial.

I thought it was only _some_ of the Kangas that had the correct card cage.
MCE offers the Cardbus upgrade service for the Kanga as well as the 2400 and
3400. To be honest though, I never saw the point. I bought a generic USB
card, installed hacked USB Support 1.4.1, trimmed the sides of the card to
make it fit, and had a USB-enabled 3400c/240.

Well yes, but a WallStreet comes with much better video, supports OS X up to
10.2 without any hacks and is capable of (unofficially) taking a lot more
RAM. It's always seemed like a very different animal to me, although I
wouldn't trade a Kanga or even a 3400c/240 for one of those cacheless Road
Apple versions.
