Well, it just depends on how much you like your comet. I really like mine, so I'm trying to maintain it, and upgrade it. In all honesty, I have probably spent just about, if not more, than I would have spent buying a new laptop, so far - and I'm not done upgrading it yet! Some people may even think I am foolish, ah well. =)
As far as your wishlist: 1.) I'm running OS 9.1 on it just fine (although 8.6 has a smaller memory footprint so you need less RAM.) I have OS X, but I have not tried installing it because I fear it will run out of memory. =P I only have 112MB in my comet (and that's the most you can have in it.) 2.) The most you can have in there is 112MB (if you manage to get a 96MB RAM module from Bill Fox (~ $400) 3.) I have a 30GB drive in my comet, which is running great... if only the 48GB ones weren't so expensive =( 4.) I use a 3Com CXM556 w/xjack (no dongles) PCIMCA modem. Present Config: 2400c/G3/240, 112MB ram, 30GB HD, OS 9.1, Skyline wireless PCIMCA card. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Tyler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Duo/2400 List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 1:54 AM Subject: [Duo2400] Re: PB2400 CardBus "Upgrade" (and hello!) > Speaking of upgrades, I'd love to get a little more juice out of my > 2400c, but don't know where to start.
