Identification and Background
The Pismo was available at a CPU clock of 400 or 500 MHz, with a front side bus of 100 MHz, one-third faster than the Lombard's front side bus; it also implemented a unified motherboard architecture, and replaced SCSI with the newer FireWire interface (IEEE-1394). It was also the first PowerBook with AirPort networking as an official option.
The PowerBook G3 Pismo was the last of the G3 line. It was succeeded by the PowerBook G4 Titanium models.
