can't use the PC133

The ram that in the lower slot, is soldered to the motherboard. Not much
chance of swapping that out. I wish a company like Newer Tech would do a

I didn't know the Wallstreet had built-in OpenFirmware.
ALL PCI-based Macs (from the 7200 onward) have OpenFirmware. Some
have a more complete OF than others, but all PCI-based Macs have OF
