Since there aren't many decent photos of this box online, here you go!

There's a lot going on compared to other generations of box designs, but it get's the job done sharing what this beast could do.

I also thought it was neat that the blank expansion module came with little flip out PCMCIA card holders. Genuinely useful!

The adapter that let you use the combo modem/Ethernet port for both connections at the same time was super clever. Such an innovative machine!

Great shots, thanks for sharing. My recollection is that they kept a similar design for the G3 Kanga packaging, before switching to the much-cleaner green/white aesthetic for the Wallstreet (the earliest PBG3 box I have). I dig the vibe.
