A PowerBook "Kanga" G3, a PowerBook 3400, or a PowerBook 1400c 166mhz are good choices. I like the 1400 series of PB's and they can had on eBay or on LEM's swap list. Be careful on eBay....and....sometimes sellers there don't know what they have. I purchased 2 on eBay and both of them have the Sonnet G3 CPU upgrades in them.
Someone mentioned the 2400 PB. That is a fine "ultra potable" PB and hard to find. The great thing about them is that they are small like the DuoDock PowerBooks but they have all of the ports...ie ethernet etc like the regular PowerBooks and you don't need the actual duo dock. They are small but they are fixed with a smaller size keyboard. I'm sucker for the 1400's but if you want to run more up to date software...like Tiger your best option is a Pismo PowerBook. You can set these up to dual boot into OS9 and Tiger. They are great laptops. Good luck Dean M.

Something like a Powerbook 3400 would be fairly close match capability wise. Similar MacOS compatibility and there are G3 upgrades and some OS X capability with hacking if you wanted to go that route. A Powerbook 2400 would also not be a bad thing but as a subnotebook it has limited ports and drives. On the other hand, a Powerbook 5300 is probably to be avoided overall.
