Hi Gang,
In the process of rehabilitating two different 1400s with 166mhz cpus to G3
cards, I've wound up with two spare 166mhz original cpu cards. Both of these

machines away as gifts to my son and daughter. (the price even

Hi again Gang:
there's a card that can be unplugged that sits directly on the 1400
motherboard, between the RAM slots and the CPU. Does anyone know what this
card is for?
Thanks

After FINALLY getting the worn screw removed from the bottom of the PB3400,
I put in the original hard drive and everything was fine. But then I decided

Which went perfectly fine and everything works on that side

The 3400 don't have SCSI hard drives or CD-ROMs. There was some mention last week on
this list I believe about cleaning the drive but as you've already surmised, it might
be a hardware problem.
