- In reagrds to the PowerView the following hold true as far as I know: It
- will hook to any PowerBook, but b/w _only_ on the PB 100, color on all of
- the rest. Reviews of it have been generally good, it runs about $500.00,
- it should work fine with a PB 145 (although you may need that wierd Apple
- HDI to Centrinocs SCSI adaptor cable). An it should work just fine with the
- Apple 13".

- If you've ever peeked into your PB case, you will see that there is NO
- ROOM for a FPU at all. Thanks Apple!!! The only thing that I've seen is
- that there is an extension called PseudoFPU which will make applications
- that need the FPU think that there is one, even though their isn't. It
- goes without saying that it slows the machine down a bit.
