1. The 'book can accept an Airport card, but are there limitations on which cards can be used?
Yes: only the original Airport can be installed, while the WS was able to manage also the newer 54mbit PCcards
2. It has a 10GB hard drive which is... well, not big. I have a 40GB USB drive and want to know if the iBook can boot from that drive?
If the USB contains a 2.5" drive I'd suggest to replace the HD. I don't think you can boot off USB stuff.
3. I'd like to run OS X on the machine and was wondering if the 500 MHz cpu would give acceptable performance? I don't do graphics stuff... just some word processing, spreadsheets and listen to an occasional music CD.
I have an iBook like yours with 384 MB RAM, and I admit you must be very patient with it and OS x 10.3.
On the other hand the WS with a PowerLogix GH3 500 Mhz seems faster and more responsive than the iBook.
How much RAM do you have?
