Yes MCL will work on Powerbooks and most other Macs I have seen. I have
used it on a 140 and it was pretty reasonable.  A 170 would be
wonderful.

They are great!  I am trying to figure out how to get one now myself,
The active matrix display is really a step up from the lower models.  I
have also (as many of you probably have too) heard tales of color 170's
possibly faster ones made by a third party within the year.  It is not
Apple so the time frame have some validity.
