Re: should I get a G3 Kanga, 1400 or 2400?
If you modify the card cage, then the Kanga will physically accept a PCMCIA card, which is a prereqisite for accepting a USB or Firewire card. The Kanga will take PCMCIA (AKA PC Card) cards already. Of course, I *intended* to state: If you modify the card cage, then the Kanga will physically accept a *Cardbus* card. The Kanga was designed to accept a Cardbus card, but it was *not* supplied with a Cardbus-compliant card cage, rather it was supplied with a PCMCIA-compliant card cage. I have previously posted a photomacrograph of the required physical modification. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: should I get a G3 Kanga, 1400 or 2400?
Also, the lower slot of the Kanga is not wired for a DVD decoder card, which the Wallstreet is. You mean zoomed video support. Both the 3400 and the Kanga have that. So, zoomed video support of the 3400 and 3500 (Kanga) implicitly means that the wallstreet DVD decoder card also works in those machines? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It's a bit of a brick, though - as is the 1400. The 2400c is an intriguing possibility, but not if you're budget-minded. It's Apple's smallest and lightest laptop ever, mainly because it has no internal drives at all. The cost of all the accessories to give it the functionality you want can add up in a hurry.
