A PowerBook "Kanga" G3, a PowerBook 3400, or a PowerBook 1400c
166mhz are good choices. I like the 1400 series of PB's and they can
had on eBay or on LEM's swap list. Be careful on
eBay....and....sometimes sellers there don't know what they have. I
purchased 2 on eBay and both of them have the Sonnet G3 CPU upgrades
in them.
Someone mentioned the 2400 PB. That is a fine "ultra potable" PB and
hard to find. The great thing about them is that they are small like
the DuoDock PowerBooks but they have all of the ports...ie ethernet
etc like the regular PowerBooks and you don't need the actual duo
dock. They are small but they are fixed with a smaller size keyboard.
I'm sucker for the 1400's but if you want to run more up to date
software...like Tiger your best option is a Pismo PowerBook. You can
set these up to dual boot into OS9 and Tiger. They are great laptops.
I have a Wallstreet PDQ with a Sonnet G4 500 processor it boots 8.6,
9.2.2 and Tiger. It has has SCSI and ADB ports plus the serial for
the old printers. With the USB and Fire wire cards it does most of
the modern stuff too .A real dazzler at the library. It even plays
DVD's in OS9.2.2.
