Whoah cowboy! The PB 190 is a 68K processer machine. I think OS 7.6.1 is
your upper limit. The PB 5300 is pretty much a PB 190 with:

A) PPC Processer (100 or 117 MHz)
B) Better screen and video
C) And I think a higher RAM ceiling.

That's why many parts are pretty much interchangable betwwen them.
