Glitch Holding Up 292 MHZ G3 PowerBooks. via O'Grady's PowerPage 26 May 1998 updated 01:31 EDT >The PowerPage has received word about a problem with the first production run of the 292 MHz PowerBook G3 Series. According to sources close to the project an anomaly with a resistor that controls the PowerPC 750 processor was discovered during production. We have no confirmation of how serious the resistor issue is, but according to our sources Apple has built over 1000 units and they are now testing them one by one for this defect as a precautionary measure. Apparently the 292's are running a little too fast (if that is possible) which is exposing a flaw in one of the resistors. Other sources near Apple's production plant assure us that problem is easily fixed, but Apple is taking every measure necessary to make sure they don't let any get out with the problem. As someone with one of the 292 MHz configurations on order this news is initially unsettling, but after a little consideration Apple deserves credit for taking the extra time (and expense) to make sure that everything is just right with the new PowerBooks before they ship.<
