Well it appears that there are no extensions or control panels for the G3 processor. I had a look at the CPU and it was marked IBM PPC750-EBOL233 so it looks like there is a G3 inside. Two other chips on the CPU card are labeled: Vpower PB 1400 G3 233 Vimage Corp. and Vpower PB 1400 G3 M-46209

Best of two PB1400s

I have a working PB1400c/117 and a PB1400cs/166 with a dead screen. Would it be easier to swap the working screen onto the 166 machine, or install the 166 internals into the 1400c? Or is neither really worth the aggro? All views gratefully received! -- PowerBooks is sponsored by

From my one try at breaking one down, I'd say it's pretty easy to swap the screens. Just be careful with the two plugs that go into the sockets on the motherboard. There's not much room to get your fingers down there to push 'em in, and on the one I tried it on, they're pretty brittle and easy
