Re: True of False - Pismo CPU board in Lombard?
I have personally worked extensively with both Lombards and Pismos; and it is indeed impossible to swap motherboards. The keyboard and trackpad plugins are completely different, the Pismo has a much larger heatsync, and an AirPort card slot, and two FireWire ports instead of a SCSI port. To change motherboards, you'd have to change cases, keyboards, the CPU. the only part that's compatible between the two is the display. (And the modem) And then... you'd just have a Pismo. He is probably just confused, or got something mixed up. I think there may be, however, a 500Mhz upgrade CPU for the lombards, but I'm not sure. I do know that the processors are incompatible, also. -Cyrus On Mar 4, 11:25 am, Bruce - in Orlando bhossfi...@bellsouth.net wrote: I see on ebay right now there is a 500 mhz CPU board being advertised as being for a Lombard:http://cgi.ebay.com/Processor-Board-Apple-PowerBook-G3-Lombard-500Mhz...

Re: True of False - Pismo CPU board in Lombard?
I have worked on my two Lombards. Just the other day I put in more ram which required removing the processor, and the connection is completely different from the picture on ebay. There were upgrade cards made, but i don't know how fast they were, and that isn't one for a lombard. -Jonas On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 10:50 AM, Cyrus callmemrp...@gmail.com wrote: I have personally worked extensively with both Lombards and Pismos; and it is indeed impossible to swap motherboards.
