The G3/233 PowerBook was released in the late summer of 1998,
along with higher-end 266 MHs and 300 MHz models . This series
of machines was code named "WallStreet" and sported
a 66 MHz System bus, a speed that would not be broken until
the G3/400, with its 100 MHz bus, would released.
All three machines came with backside cache, the 233 MHz
model with 512K, running at half the processor speed.
All the WallStreet machines standardized on a large 14.1,
24-bit, 1024 x 768, active matrix screen.
The machine is capable of millions fo colors on an external
monitorup of up to 20 inches.
The machine has two expansion bays one of which was filled
with a removable CD-ROM drive. Options for the expansion bays
included a DVD drive, or an extra battery which allows for
running in dual-battery mode. An expansion bay floppy-drive
was also an option.
The WallStreet PowerBooks were popular and sold well.
