Please point me in the right direction!  I've only been able to find $60 
ones.
Now I do have a matshusita 330 cdrw from my old imac.  I had put that one
in but pulled it before I sold it. It's great but it's a slave drive and 
can't be 
configured to boot :-( I tried to find the Sony 700e (I think) but it's 
pricey.
Any help appreciated.

Well, if you are running OS X 10.2.x, I recommend the OWC
802.11g/802.11b card for 50$. Their stuff is cheap and I haven't had a
problem with their stuff.


For the CDRW, most bare drives will fit in the expansion bay case, 
just swap
out the original CD drive in about 5-10 minutes.
Check first at xlr8yourmac.com, under Drive Compatibility Database, 
then
under Lombard and Expansion Bay, to see what users have to say. Then 
check
ebay and buy from a reputable seller. CDRW drives are a lot cheaper 
than
combo drives these days.
If you have the Lombard 400 model with DVD, there are bare combo 
drives that
will work too.
Good luck.
Chris

If you are running OSX, then the Lombard isn't supported for DVD 
playback, is it? A bare CDRW can be had on eBay for somewhere around 
$20 now, and switching them out is easy. Modifying the burn support 
document is also simple if you get a model that isn't natively 
supported. If you get a Matshita model, then your faceplate will fit 
better. I have put their combo drives into Pismos, but still have to 
drill out a hole for one of the three screws on the faceplate. I guess 
that's the penalty for having that cool curvy body.

I'd second Adam's opinion. OWC has always been great for me, and the price
on those 802.11g (802.11b compatible) cards is super at $49. But, as he
said, you need Jaguar (they're not compatible with OS 9).

For the CDRW, most bare drives will fit in the expansion bay case, just swap
out the original CD drive in about 5-10 minutes.
Check first at xlr8yourmac.com, under Drive Compatibility Database, then

This subject of fitting a CDRW drive in a Wallstreet, Lombard and Pismo has
came out quite a few times recently. Try searching the G-Books list archive
at . Same goes for
wireless cards...

new lombard owner/cdrw

[ifab]

Is there a cdrw drive that fits the expansion bay of a lombard?
also what is the best recommended wireless card?  
I just bought a pc card with firewire off ebay for $6, anyone have any 
experience with these?

My dd had an early ibook with no firewire and now she has an ipod so
she wanted a powerbook with firewire.  I figured this was a good bet.
