As I wrote just a moment ago, I have a Vimage 233MHz upgrade in my Powerbook 1400. I inherited the 'book from my sister-in-law who had a professional shop do the upgrade - she's completely technophobic; so I know nothing about the upgrade. A Sherlock search on my machine shows the extension "Vpower PB G3 EX", and the "VpowerInfo" application I mentioned earlier. I cannot find anything with the name "vBOOSTER". The machine runs great; I love the speed of it. Hope this helps. -Bill -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
