DISCUSSION
U.S. or International?
Please note that the international (INTNT'L) and United States (US) versions of the PowerBook computer models listed in the chart below may vary in the types of modems that shipped with them. You should also be aware that all of the international versions of the modems have mini-DIN 8 ports instead of RJ-11 ports, each of which was designed for the appropriate country-specific DAA type.

Some later PowerBook 145B Plus Pack models shipped with a third-party modem:
PowerBook 145B Plus Pack
- One version of the PowerBook 145B Plus Pack shipped with a built-in Global Village Powerport/Bronze Fax modem.
- Other versions of the version of the PowerBook 145B Plus Pack were sold with several different bundled software applications, but did not include a modem.
** Although the PowerBook 150 did not include an internal modem, it was shipped with modem patch software from Apple installed in the System folder. This modem patch software is necessary in order for a third-party modem to be installed and utilized in this computer.
*** International versions of the Macintosh PowerBook 500 series computers came with the Apple Express Modem II (not available in the U.S) instead of a Global Village Modem.
