I didn't find any Wallstreet upgrades at Daystar. Wegener's prices
seem quite for a G3 upgrade to 400 MHz.

Yup.
the lower slot should be low profile DIMM,
Yup.
i should use SDRAM memory of 100Mhz or greater PC 100, and use ram with
2-2-2 speed...
The wallstreets can use 66 Mhz Ram for either WS1 or WS2. Evidently
the Ram isnt clocked
I did remove the PRAM battery and the processor in an earlier attempt
with no results.
I just tried removing the power board and the machine refused to do
anything.
Since the logic board swap failed, I feel that leaves me with one of
two choices: The sound board or the power board.
My son's Wallstreet won't boot (at all, at all).
When I plug it in the little green light lights and I can hear what I have
to think is the HD spinning, but nothing else happens.
Thats the fan spinning up. This seems to happen if your PRAM battery is dead.
Do you get a boot chime ?

You were right about the next step, then. Check and make sure
everything is seated
How important is the pram battery in the Wallstreet?
At $45 shipped and involved installation, how much
difference would it make for a unit with a so-so
battery that's usually plugged in?
A wallstreet should still function with a dead PRAM. If you want to

Is there a processor upgrade for a powerbook G3
Lombard (either a G3 or G4)?
TIA.
Pete.
Daystar and Wegener media sell upgrade cards, although you have to
send your CPU in.

If it boot chimes and the HD seems to be working, but you get no
video, this most likely means you have a Wallstreet 1 CPU (233/no L2,
250, 292 MHz) on a Wallstreet2 motherboard (Rage Pro LT video
chipset).
I have a 292 and 233, but the one that isn't labeled is this:

Does the CPU card in question have both L2 chips next to the CPU, or
one cache chip on the front of the card, and one on the backside ?
Mad Dog
Both are next to the CPU, with the label U3 and U2 above them. Both have
Motorola markings on them. There are 4 SEC chips that look like RAM/Cache
that
Just to clarify:
Wallstreet II motherboards had a Rage LT chip on the bottom? That's how I
tell the difference?
My CPU's are labeled, one is a 233MHz, no cache, found some pics on the web,
and the other is a 292MHz. ALL the mobo's I have have the LT chip on the
bottom. What's weird is a couple
Got a WS 1 mobo with a 292MHz CPU, I checked the bottom and made sure it was
a Rage LT (not a Pro) and the CPU is labeled as a 292MHz. I hooked

My guess was that with Processor Cylcing enabled the machine would

IIRC that is only with a G4 upgrade.
Mike
They can replace the L2 with A G3 or a G4, but it might be tied to
purchasing the new CPU. Its worth asking them if they will change
out only the L2 cache. if Daystar wont do it Wegener might.
