Dear Listers,
I'm looking at finally replacing my 190, after pondering it for a while,
and I'm wondering which model G3 is the best. I want to run OS 9 or OS
X, but it doesn't matter. My main issues are that I want a DVD drive and
a good keyboard. I know it's a Pre G3 list, but I figured if

Of course not - it's a friendly list and an interchange of views is always
good.

Not a G3 then ?
The cost of the upgrade alone is probably more than a

You did not tell us if you still need the serial and SCSI ports and
how much you are prone to spend.
The best compatibility with old stuff is guaranteed by the Kanga and
the Wallstreet and if you need the serial port and the internal
floppy drive these are the only choices. DVD, although
You may want to consider a Clamshell 466MHz with DVD-ROM.
I have a 466 Clamshell I really like and it's built pretty well. I
like it better than the G3 Powerbooks actually.
12in 800x600 screen, no PC card slots makes the Clam a bit limited - though
I do like them I must admit.

The limited screen rez. is the only thing I can say they should have
done better on the Clamshells. I don't miss not having PC card slots,
it's got firewire and USB.
But it's got the built-in handle. ya gotta like that.
I never use it having seen too many broken ones.

Well, I'm looking to spend under $300, so I'm a little limited on what I
can do. As far as backwards compatibility with my 190, it's just the
base package, no external drives or anything, so I'm not looking for
SCSI or anything. Airport would be nice for when I have to travel, but I
can live
Hi Caleb
There are a load of G3 lombards on ebay They are going for around
£150. Which is around $260 so that is under the $300. mark for you
If you got a lombard then you could still use the scsi side to hook
up the 190 for file transfer .

Here's my 2 cents I upgraded from a 5300 to a G3 Kanga for a whopping $27 US
via the LEM swap list, and am still able to keep all the extras I had from
before (internal expansion bays and external SCSI things like CD burner,
scanner, HDD, modems, printers) and am still able to run the software
I have a Wallstreet, Lombard, Pismo, and a Clamshell aswell. The one I
prefer is the fastest the Pismo 500.
Why:?
1. You can put more than 512 mb ram inside up to 1 gig , The other two are
limited up to 512. For Tiger more than 512 is really welcome.
2. You have 2 Firewire(camera connecting, iPod

Yep; speed kills anything slower than it.
I think we call all agree that none of the 'books -- i or power -- are too
But one question: you PismoPeople keep mentioning the internal airport card,
but what do you do when you want g-speed browsing? Then the issue of the
single PC card port comes into play again.
Do you think it is so much faster that you'd really worry about it ?
On the test I performed,
But in the tens of G3s I've worked on I've had FAR more issues with
Wallstreets - non-booting, battery charging and power management problems -
than on the Lombards and Pismos put together.
Half the Wallstreets I work on have bad Power Manager boards.
Very few have bad sound/power input boards.
