The label on the bottom of the PowerBook, not the serial number 
label, the other one, should include the family number of the unit 
you have.

Hope this helps.

If you don't do any good that way (label missing or incomplete), 
there are other ways to tell the difference (ports on the back, color 
of logo emblems, etc.). E-Mail me and I can help you out.
