Hi Cameron Interesting to note this: I added an internal Ethernet card in a friend's 1400 - and it was extremely fiddly to do. I was also supposed to be adding an 8mb ram chip. In the process of miraculously finding a way to fit the ethernet card in, then discovering that the blanking metal plate had to go €inside€ and not outside so I had to undo it all and miraculously redo it again - I got it all back together - (including finding that I'd pulled the keyboard cable out of it's plug!) - AND it all worked. (Glow of amazed achievement at patience paying off!). Anyway that was the short version but the twist in the tale is that in my concentration on the blimmin card I had somehow ended up putting the 4mb ram back in instead of the new 8 mb! Oh fool ;-) So I wasnąt in a hurry to remove and redo the whole thing as - really - it was very tricky. Having read your mail above I now wonder if I would be better off leaving it as it is (60mb). Does anyone else have any similar doubts about having the 8mb ram rather than the 4mb in a 1400 - or is it that Cameron has a dodgy 8mb stick of ram? I am also wondering if this ethernet card is likely to prevent using a G3 upgrade at a later date? (Cant remember offhand the make but was one of the main brands) All the best Brian -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
