Yes, they are accurate. Since switching to a 333MHz G3, battery life has extended out. I did a stress test with Battery Amnesia and the numbers I got weren't too far off from Sonnet's. > Any recommendations for a USB PC card? Yes, don't. Unless you find a mythical 16-bit one, all USB PC cards are CardBus, and the 1400 isn't. > Any other general pointers?

Putting 60MB in mine has helped immeasurably, and I can even run OS 9. (I wouldn't recommend this with the 117MHz CPU, though. Wait until you can find a G3.) -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
