did apple offer both black or bronze keyboards with the pismo? i seem to find both on e-bay but it's tough to tell from the pictures. thanx

The pismo shipped with the bronze keyboard only, you're probably seeing the older wallstreet powerbooks mislabeled as pismos.

I believe the Pismos with the bronze keyboards were pre firewire. Along with firewire, the Pismos with the black keyboard included airport support and I think a few more things. Both are G3 of course.

The lombard and the pismos had were the only G3 powerbooks with the bronze keyboards. The only powerbook g3s with the black keyboard was the wallstreet, which was before the lombard and the pismo.
