Hallo Ben, Michael and Michel, My PowerBook G3 model is the first one that was produced after the original G3 but with a modern motherboard and CPU. It was made until July 1998 and was available with 3 CPU speeds (233, 250 and 292MHz). During September 1998 the second generation came on the market, where the 292 MHz CPU was changed to a 300 MHz CPU with a reduced bus speed (83 to 66 MHz). The 292 MHz machine is the most expensive PowerBook ever that Apple has produced. That's why I still have it! You can find the lspci -vv output below for your information. In the meantime I downloaded abt. 180 MB of software and installed it. I chose KDE as my desktop environment and must say that I'm really impressed. With the help of a recent posting in this Mailinglist I could assign the F11 and F12 keys to be the middle and right mouse button (the PowerBook has only a trackpad and an ADB port). Now I am working on other items like serial port, infrared, PCMCIA and SCSI. In the end I hope to be able to connect my PDA to the PowerBook and Debian. This is one reason I installed Debian. Apple's Jaguar doesn't support serial and SCSI ports any more! As a Mac user it would also be nice to be able to use the Apple key instead of the CTRL key. Kind regards befu # lspci -vv 00:00.0 Host bridge: Motorola MPC106 [Grackle] (rev 40) Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Step ping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort+ <TAbort- <MAbort+ >SERR- <PERR+ Latency: 0, cache line size 08 00:0d.0 Class ff00: Apple Computer Inc.
