Does this person from Sonnet even realize that we are talking about Classic Macs here and not state of the art G4 Macs??! Sorry about my late reply to this thread, I am just winding through archived "to be read" email at present, but I simply could NOT let this go without a response to both the list and to Sonnet themselves. Telling a user to "pitch" both Ram and Speed Doubler because those particular older versions used on a 1400 are no longer supported by Connectix is really a bunch of crap and very bad advice to boot. Older non-supported versions of Apple's own System Software along with older versions of virtually everything we use on these machines is non-supported due to age. Does that mean it doesn't do its job? Does that mean that it's no good? Of course not. I hope the listers totally ignored such flawed and biased advice given by Sonnet. Upgrade or no upgrade involved, there is tons of life left in older software that can be recycled and used on classic Macs to great success. --bj bjbear71.com -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
