Boot disk for PB 540C

The 8.6 CD I have has got both an updater and a full installer on it. Running Norton and TechTools is a good idea though as it's always nice to install on a HD that is known good. Tom Roth * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * tel 336.716.4493 Wake

I'm new to this list. I have a PB 1400c, 133mhz, 48 mb, 1.2 g, OS 8.6. I would like to do some upgrades to this machine. Like (I assume) most 1400 owners, memory is a problem. I know I can upgrade to a max of 64 mb internal physical memory. Replacing with the right stuff, though, is hard to
