I know that the Lombard came right before the Pismo, meaning SCSI and not FireWire. Anything else differentiating the two that might be important?

I believe the Pismo can take advantage of PC133 RAM, and can take 512MB chips, to max it out at 1GB of RAM. So, faster speeds there, plus more RAM. On my old Lombard, it would see a 512MB chip as only 256MB. It's still a very capable machine, and $100 is really a good price. I sold mine with a bigger hard drive and a $20 wireless card for $250 a few months ago, so... I'd say this is quite the steal!

I think I'm going to hold out until a Pismo comes along, which the way things seem to go, I'll have to kill someone and then pry it from their cold, dead, hands.

(AKA, I'd like more RAM and FireWire... good luck selling it; I just push my computers too hard to make it worthwhile for me.)

Can the Lombard 333mhz go on line with a wireless PCI card? Do they take Apple Airport cards?

[livingfortoday]

They don't take airport cards, but you can get wireless PCI slot cards. I got a cheap Microsoft one for like $20 that worked in OS X. I'll see if I can dig up a link for you. In the meantime, you can also go to macwireless.com for their cards.

Edit: Got it. It's a Microsoft MN-720 wireless card. Worked great, OS X (Panther, Jaguar didn't see it) saw it as an airport card. I had an Orinoco one before that worked in OS 9, but not OS X.

The best wireless card to use with the PowerBook G3 Lombard is the Orinoco Silver cards. You have to make sure that you buy the Orinoco and not the card made by Proxim when Orinoco was bought out. The Orinoco Silver only supports 802.11b, however, because the AirPort Card is technically an Orinoco Silver (later upgraded to Orinoco Gold by Apple's AirPort firmware through a software update), it can use the AirPort driver and supports all WEP and WPA authentication standards that the Apple AirPort Cards do.

I have two of these running in a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet and a PowerBook G3 Lombard with the AirPort 2.x software for Mac OS 9. It also works under Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger as an AirPort Card. It saves the hassle of finding a driver for whatever card you have and the worries about compatibility.

You can find these cards for a good price on e-bay. Also, if you're into WiFi sniffing, it also has an MCCard plug on the end for a pigtail. You can connect all sorts of signal amplifiers and antennas to this thing. The range is pretty good for an external WiFi card too. Much better than most. The Orinoco is also supported by nearly all WiFi sniffing utilities such as Kismac and MiniStumbler for PocketPC.

Thanks for the info; do you have any idea if this O Silver card would work the same way on an old Titanium Powerbook, too?

The Orinoco Silver works the same in all macs with an AirPort slot or PC Card slot. It will show up as an AirPort Card. Why not just use an AirPort card in your TiBook? Range issues or broken AirPort slot? I think I would want portability without a PC Card sticking out the side of my notebook. :-)

Before you try to use this with Mac OS X, you should boot into Mac OS 9 and install AirPort Software 2.0.4. This replaces the Orinoco firmware with Apple's AirPort firmware. While the card will work without running the 2.0.4 updater, I don't believe you'll be able to flash it to support 128-bit WEP until you actually run it.

You can also use the Orinoco Silver in any AirPort slot (provided you have room to fit the antenna on the back of the radio). I upgraded a lot of my Orinoco Silver cards to Gold through the AirPort slot on a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver. The radio fits in the slot and is recognized by the Mac, but the antenna on the radio is too long (case won't close...figures).

Here is a good site where someone has performed this upgrade. I read through the instructions and they're valid and very close to the same thing that I did with my cards. http://homepage.mac.com/bengi/SG/S_G.html

I dont think California wants to spend all the extra cash on an Airport compared to the much CHEAPER PCMCIA cards, as Airport cards are hella-expensive. o.o

[macg4]

yeah its better and cheaper to get a PCMCIA card instead.
