Thank you for the clarification. The notebook was always billed as going up to 14 MB of RAM, IIRC. I can't remember if it had SE/30 ROMs (some did) or if it used the PMMU in the 68030 CPU to pull the RAMDISK/Virtual Memory trick. Some of the 68030 upgrades for 68000 machines did the latter. The notebook also took standard 3.5" harddrives IIRC, and had a more sophisticated controller than the Laptop, but I could be misremembering that last bit. I've never had a Notebook, but I did chat with one of the Perfit guys (not Corey) about them some. >but the notebook, >which are somewhat different(the laptop has detachable keyboard IIRC).

I think I signed up once when he was offering free memberships or something to Laptop owners. Is there a discussion area hidden away once one joins up? I've just never seen the benefit in joining Corey's service. When I first heard about his page I hit it pretty frequently, but never saw anything new. I emailed him once about some Laptop parts, but he's really more into the Notebooks than the Laptops. Thanks again for the great info and the clarification.
