Functional Vintage PowerBook G3 (late 1998) With Mac OS 9. 2. 2 And Apps/games
Item History & Price
Functional Vintage PowerBook G3 (late 1998, PDQ/"Wallstreet II") with Mac OS 9.2.2 and apps/games. Condition is "Seller refurbished". Shipped with USPS Parcel Select Ground.
This is a vintage late 1998-era PowerBook G3. I bought the chassis back in college and over the years I've cleaned up the hard drive drive and network connections to run Mac OS 9.2.2. I am including this system pre-installed along with several vintage games and applications. The hard drive has 4GB tot...al capacity and is already formatted to use the HFS+ file system. It also carries an Old-World ROM (the series is the last one that Apple shipped with these 4MB ROMs and the rainbow Apple logo).
What works?
DisplayKeyboardTrackpadFloppy Drive (can read both Mac and PC formatted 3.5 floppies)
Ethernet (though beware that speed is limited to 10 Mbps because this is a 22 year old notebook)
AppleTalk for file sharingMultiple User support, including password protection
What doesn't?
There is currently no working CD-ROM drive though there is built-in support for it. Not enough RAM to safely install or use Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.2 (though it can be fairly easily upgraded with 144-pin PC100 SO-DIMMs up to 512 MB)
What can this be used for?
Parts
Running old classic Mac games/programs
