This one is the 266, with a 4gig harddrive and 320MB RAM. I had it running OSX, but wiped everything clean and reinstalled 9.2.2
I was able to install and run OSX, and all of the Macromedia Studio MX programs. Not bad for a 5 year old machine. The battery is a bit tempermental. Sometimes it holds a charge, sometimes it doesn't. They are easy to come by. I've got the swapable cd and zip drives. That's about it. I've seen them go for upwards of $700. So best offer + shipping, and whoever wants it can enjoy it.

Announced in August 1998, The Rev. 2 PowerBook G3 was an answer to supply problems that had been troubling Apple all summer. By standardizing the bus speed (to 66 Mhz) and the screen size (to 14.1"), Apple could further streamline the production process, and ship PowerBooks faster. While 266 and 300 Mhz versions took some time to make it into the resseller channel, the 233 Mhz model (now equipped with a L2 cache) was available immediately.

The 233 Mhz was initially sold for $2,799, the 266 Mhz model for $3,499, and the 300 Mhz model for $3,999. There was also a limited-edition 233 Mhz 12.1" active-matrix model which sold for $2,299.
