The computer is one of the G3 Series, sometimes (frequently?) referred to as a "Wallstreet." It looks to me like it should be a "Wallstreet II" configuration. There were so many different configurations of the G3 series, that the only to "ID" the powerbook is through the serial number on the bottom. However, this number is/was on a sticker that often peeled off, leaving you no way to tell Apple which machine you had. So, You would have to find the info yourself. There is a serial number inside the PC card slot. This is the serial number of the logic board. There is a serial number on the inderside of the processor card. This is the serial number of the processor (duh!). You can get the RAM comfiguration from Apple System Profiler. >From this info, someone with the service manual can giver you more specifics of the machine.
