I am selling a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet. It is a 233MHz Series II w/ 96MB of RAM. It appears to be fully functional at least as far as I can tell with no OS. It has a battery which seems to hold a charge and it also has a floppy drive. Both the battery and the floppy are in expansion bays which can also be used to hold a second battery, a CD driver or a CD writer. It has a 14" screen and it comes with the power adapter.
I bought this to tinker with but I didn't realize that it didn't have an OS installed. Well, I also don't have a way to get an OS installed on it. I suppose you can remove the HD and install OSX onto it and put it back in. Also, I see there is a CD-ROM drive for the wallstreet on eBay right now for $20. I just don't feel like spending any more money on it.
The computer boots up and almost immediately goes to the flashing question mark. On this screen, you can move the cursor around with the trackpad so the internals seems to be in working order. I took out the hard drive and tested it and I was able to format, write files and then erase it. So, the hard drive seems to be ok.
If you want it, it can be yours for only $40 shipped.
