[Noisebridge-discuss] in need of cheap powerbook

[steve camuti]

I actually have an 867 Mhz PBG4 12" that Rigel donated to the space that i
agreed to look into fixing... but it needs a 2.5" ATA HDD. If you can
scrounge one of those up, I can probably get it functional.
Just a headsup, it *CAN* run Leopard but the 867s came only with USB 1.1
Ports... so no fast data access times over USB. Does have FW400 though...
