5300 REA thanks

Hi all, Thanks to Remy & Ed for their 5300 REA input. Looks like this is going to take some more time to get some results. My friend had a friend in the US call Apple with the number someone on the list gave about the adapter recall. They didn't know anything about the 5300 REA. This fellow

Re: Major Problems for some 1400's with Sonnet Upgrade

"I recently upgraded my 1400 with a Sonnet G3 and I believe was running 8.6. I did not experience any problems." 90% will experience no problems whatsoever with a G3 upgrade for the 1400, and I am assuming that the American OS 8.6 is fine. But there are Danes, Finns, French, Germans, Australi

Re: PowerBook 5300c vs. 1400c

Heather, Yes, I was going to say that I considered both those others before choosing a 3400. The speed, display, & RAM capacity, as I recall, made up my mind for me. The 3400 is a great powerbook, if you can locate one in your price range, which you may well be able to do with PB prices coming d

Re: PowerBook 5300c vs. 1400c

Yep, I'd say go for the 3400 if you can afford it. If you do go for the 1400, I'd suggest the 1400/133c at a minimum. You're right to go for the active matrix display; but the 117 is just way too slow. Your 7100 /8100 is faster (SCSI drive, L2 cache). I have a 1400/117 sitting here now and it'
