Hmm. Well, I don't know about booting from an internal Zip. The one in my Wallstreet needs the Iomega driver to mount, so I don't know how one would boot from it since the driver loads during boot. Can't you leave a zip disk with both the iomega driver and system/finder on it, declare it the

Currently, I'm running a PB 1400c/166, 64 megs RAM, OS 8.1. I am wondering a little about some of the options I have. First of all, I saw a PCMCIA card in a macmall catalog- USB 2-port PCMCIA Card- it says that it works with any 32 bit, type II Cardbus slot. I'd like to be sure though, since

Hi all I have a 1400cs soon to be fitted with a 233MHz G3. I'm hoping to max the memory soon and I wanted to ask if anyone has a 1400 with max memory and a G3 upgrade to see what newer software I'll be able to use. I know OS X is out of the question but It will run 9.1 or 9.2 correct? also will

Hi Gary, I used to have a maxed-out 1400 (G3 processor 64 MB RAM) and ran OS 9 (maybe even 9.1) and, significantly for me, Bryce. RAM is probably going to be your limiting factor. HTH, Judy On Wed, 22 May 2002, Gary E Davis wrote: I have a 1400cs soon to be fitted with a 233MHz G3. I'm
