...so sell me one maybe! I'll know more on like thursday about this but I figured I may as well get it out there early. I have a ton of crap to trade for too (See my thread a few pages back!) So sell me a yo-yo, preferably cheap as you absolutely possibly can.

So this wallstreet? It's the one in my sig and actually...it has twice the RAM I threw there, heh. The price? Yeah you'd probably kill me if I told you. I love having good friends.

So, yo-yos, whatever that 3rd party adapter that fits, whatever. If it powers a wallstreet, I'll be interested. Thanks!

Quick update, YES I do need an adapter, the wallstreet isn't coming with one.

update2: I forgot, I also need a PC Wireless Card that will work in a G3! Let me know what you have!

if the mods could change my title to "WTB: G3 Power Adapter and Wireless Card" I'd really appreciate it!

You can prolly get a MacAlly adaptor from a local store cheaper than a used Yo Yo and shipping...

Where would I find this? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. I'm not in any place like california, this is western pennsylvania, heh.

Bummer, I was kind of hoping to find one of these.

Oh well, sell me a yo-yo!

UPDATE: YES, I DO need a yo-yo or any adapter that fits a G3 Powerbook! Show me what you have!

Try eBay if you can't find one here. There's probably a lot there.

Enjoy. The WallStreet is a hell of a nice machine. You can boot anything from MacOS 8.0 to MacOS X 10.4.5 on it. Print to old Mac serial printers or network with your ancient Mac SE using LocalTalk. Connect and use ADB peripherals. Attach SCSI devices to the SCSI port. Insert and make use of a Type III PC Card (remember those? the double-high ones?)

Pop in a readily available USB CardBus card and you can attach USB peripherals and use them, likewise for FireWire Cardbus and FW peripherals and even 3rd-party AirPort. Up to 512 MB RAM.

The power adapters didn't look like yo-yos. Best 3rd-party power adapter was from madsonline (http://www.madsonline.com)

Get the one that looks like this:

Well, I have this Dell Truemobile card I just bought.

It is well known because it actually has a Lucent Chipset in it, so it's basically a rebranded Airport card. It was brand new when I got it, but I took it out to test it in my older powerbook. Worked like a charm in OS 8.6 with orinoco drivers. I then tested it in my iBook Clamshell where it appeared exactly has an airport card with zero configuration! It's a great card because not only does it work in any OS from 8.6 to 10.4, but It also works in windows too! I just purchased it new for 65 shipped (about half of what the airport cards are going for, so I thought it was a deal) and I could sell it to you for 50 bucks shipped. I realized I dont really need to have another wireless laptop and could use the money :D It also has the option to use an external antenna.

Here is a pic I just took:

That's fine, I can barter on the price.

Heh, unless you wanted to drop to like $20 shipped I don't think I can afford the card. I'm talking like seriously cheap, lol. Thanks for the offer though!

No sorry, I can't. Good luck finding something at that price, really.
