So this card would work with the airport software or do I need a 3rd party
driver? I remember when I had a lombard before and I bought a MS wireless
adapter and a 3rd party driver and it worked. I found this on eBay think it
would work ok?

Re: Wallstreet upgrades

[Lisa & Tom P]

I have enough parts for maybe 2 more Wallstreet 2's if I can get CPU's for
them. I want to get some other upgrades that would cross over between the
two. Specifically hard drive, ram, wireless card, CPU, and USB.

Wallstreet upgrades

[Mike]

I finally got one of my powerbooks working. I traded an older iMac for a box
of powerbooks and parts in "unknown" condition. I managed to get this out of
it so far:

Wallstreet rev I
250MHz
98MB
2GB
14"
2MB VRAM
2 working batteries, testing a 3rd
Working CD-ROM

I've drawn up a few plans for it. First it's going to get a new paint job,
orange with black trim :) But if I'm going to make it look pretty I need to
make it faster. 

I have enough parts for maybe 2 more Wallstreet 2's if I can get CPU's for
them. I want to get some other upgrades that would cross over between the
two. Specifically hard drive, ram, wireless card, CPU, and USB.  

I have an idea of what to get but don't know where to start. Any suggestions
on what parts to get, where to look, etc would be great. I'm looking for
cheap stuff! 

Thanks for all the help!

Re: wallstreet upgrades

[cmf0046]

Thanks for the help. I realized that I would probably have to get an external 
CDRW but I just didnt want to have to lug it around every where I went. Thanks 
for the help and advice. I appreciate it.

Re: wallstreet upgrades

[Ben Dyer]

There was a CD-RW drive manufactured for the Wallstreet, but it's 
impossible to find these days. Unlike the Lombard and Pismo, you can't 
just replace the drive in the expansion bay module with a standard 
low-profile optical drive. At this stage, your only option is to get an 
external device.

OS X runs quite well on the 292 and 300MHz Wallstreets, and acceptably 
on the 266MHz. Anything slower and you'll be frustrated. Jaguar is the 
last OS officially supported by Apple, but 10.3 can be installed with 
the aid of XPostFacto. 384MB RAM is really the minimum for OS X. Less 
than that and things like launching applications and switching between 
open applications become unacceptably slow. Some people have had 
problems using 512MB RAM under 10.3, but I've never run into it on 
either of my PowerBooks. For maximum performance, set your monitor to 
thousands of colours mode. To speed QT movie playback, there's a 
modification you can make to the video drivers, but I recommend staying 
away from that unless it's really necessary for you.

A 10GB hard disk is enough to install a stripped-down version of 
Panther and still have enough room left over for a decent set of 
programs and documents. Panther will take up about 1-1.5GB over the top 
of your existing OS 9 installation (probably about 500MB of system and 
applications).

Cheers,
Ben

wallstreet upgrades

[cmf0046]

I recently purchased a Powerbook G3 wallstreet. I was wondering about two 
possible upgrades. First, what are my options for upgrading to a CDRW. Is there 
an internal drive that was made for the wallstreet, OEM or thirdparty? I know I 
could probably buy a firewire upgrade card and buy an external drive but I 
would like to avoid that if I could. Also, what are my options for running OSX 
on my wallstreet. The system has 384 MB Ram and a 10 GB HD. Any info would be

Wallstreet Upgrades

[Steven Schwartz]

Similar to the recent postings, I'm looking at Wallstreet upgrades. I 
have a 300MHz Wallstreet, and am looking at more RAM and the Sonnet G4 
upgrade card. Opinions?
