The G3/266 PowerBook was released in the late summer of 1998,
along with a lower-end 233MHz model and higher-end 300 MHz
machine. This series of machines were 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 266 MHz
model with 1 MB 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 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.
