Re: Wallstreet upgrades
Right now I am using a Lucent Orinico Silver card with the OS 9.2 Airport drivers on this Wallstreet. I _think_ the card on Ebay will work for you.

Wallstreet upgrades
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! Mike Kauspedas Mindaugas Save Our LAN! www.coloradogameralliance.com -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

wallstreet upgrades
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 greatly appreciated. Thanks. Coleman Ford -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: wallstreet upgrades
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).

Re: wallstreet upgrades
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.

Wallstreet Upgrades
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?
