BTW, How well will OS 9 run on the 1400 with 64 MB RAM and the G3 processor?
I'm now on 8.5, but might consider upgrading.
On my 1400+G3/333 with 60MB of RAM, OS 9.1 runs very well. I would update
to 8.6 at a minimum, though, to take advantage of its bug fixes.

single PC card port comes into play again.
Do you think it is so much faster that you'd really worry about it ?
On the test I performed,
But in the tens of G3s I've worked on I've had FAR more issues with
Wallstreets - non-booting, battery charging and power management problems -
than on the Lombards and Pismos put together.
Half the Wallstreets I work on have bad Power Manager boards.
Very few have bad sound/power input boards.

Well, I finally downloaded it and it works OK. I haven't really had
any problems with stray clicks, but it often drags instead of
