Condition & Notes
This unit is in excellent condition, and was purchased from the original owner who used it for design work, coding, and audio/music. It is complete with all the original packaging, power cable, S-video-to-composite adapter, Mac-to-VGA adapter, four hot-swappable modules (2 battery, 1 DVD-ROM, 1 weight-saving device), software CDs, documentation, and Apple stickers.
This particular machine is the top-of-the-line 500 MHz Pismo model from 2000, making it the fastest PowerBook G3 that Apple ever manufactured. The new Titanium PowerBook G4 replaced it in early 2001.

System Specs
Bonus ZIP Drive Module
The ZIP drive was a popular third-party product in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, which used 100MB ZIP disks to store and transfer data.
This drive unit can be hot-swapped in and out of the PowerBook’s drive bays, just like the battery and optical drive.
