Lombard
An
internal code name that
Apple Computer is rumored to have used for it's
G3 PowerBooks.
These
notebook computers were produced in
1999. They are not to be
confused - although they look identical to - the PowerBooks Apple produced in the
year 2000.
The
distinguishing characteristic of the 1999 class of PowerBooks is the presence of
SCSI ports; the year 2000 computers dropped this in favour of
FireWire.
There are other, more
subtle differences such as
processor clock speed (i.e., the 1999 machines maxed out at 400 Mhz) and
hard disk size.
