<< Unless there is some hidden page I haven't found, attached to that site, there isn't that much information there. But I might have missed something. Admittedly, it looks promising at first, but I think the concept is better than the execution. I think the manuals are available for download, but I have the original manuals for my Outbound. I don't believe there is any user discussion group there beyond an ability to list classified ads. I did sign up there several years ago, but there was so little useful activity, that I couldn't tell you what my userid and password would be any more. Still, thank you for the link.

The notebook manual has all kinds of tech info, like how to install RAM, etc., and some photos to help take apart the Outbound, though not sure what the laptop manual has. <<>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 21:54:14 EDT >Yes, I do have a 68030 Outbound 2030E *notebook*(not "laptop", which is >different).

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.>> No, notebook takes regular 2.5-inch IDE HD. <<> you must pay a registration fee or sign up thru Yahoo >PayDirect service and I think you get membership for free, or at least >cheaper. If you have no luck getting accessing this, let me know and I will >see if I can get further info from the support site manager] I've never been interested in paying $25 for a site that doesn't appear to actually have any activity. 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.>> There is a "guest book", which only has a few entries...when I went there yesterday I made an entry. No this is not very helpful, but I'd think the manual would be. Maybe I'll take a look at the laptop manual later and give you an idea of its contants offlist. If you've registered for the site in the past, why don't you e-mail Corey Burton and see if he will consider you qualified to have the latest url? <<Thanks again for the great info and the clarification.
