I've tried VPC 4/ME on both of my 1400/G3s and found that it wouldn't work. I originally assumed that it was because RD is a VM, although much quicker and more efficient than Apple's VM. I since have heard of many people having trouble with PBs that had Sonnet G3 upgrades refusing to run VPC. Whichever is the cause (or perhaps a combination of the 2?) I haven't been able to operate VPC 4 on a 1400. (Perhaps ME is the culprit as it is as memory hungry as 9.1. A different Windoze/DOS version of VPC 4 might work.) VPC 3/95 and OS 8.1 worked fine with 64 Meg and a G3.
