Sleeping a WallStreet (Powerbook G3 Series 1998) and unplugging the system will drain battery fairly quickly. Also, it emits a small humming noise due to the fan continuing to run. An open source fix replaces the AppleHeathrow kernel extension (kext) with a slightly modified one which resolves this problem. A Mac OS X package file can be downloaded from my site. Other relevant links are also available at the same location.
