Hi again, Firstly, Ralph, thanks for the speedy reply. I appreciate any and all help. This list is fantastic because of it's members.
Second. I just realized I don't get many messages a day..that's been going on for quite a while. I also belong to the newton list and get 30 or more messges in 24 hours but the 2400 list only produces on average 5? Am I missing any mailings (I never look at the archives)? What is the average volume? Onto the subject at hand. I stated the computer doesn't recognize the 64mb module. I can't remember where I bought it (months ago-I'll try to find the receipt)...an established online memory-for-mac store that listers have had luck with but now I'm doubting if it is for the 2400 even though it physically fits. I replaced it with the 96mb board I thought may have still worked. The thing starts and spins up but after waiting longer than I think would have been necessary to check ram (minutes) the screen is still blank. So I figure it's bad although I didn't think that memory modules failed that much. So I took it out and now I'm back to 16mb with not-enough-memory errors. By the way I didn't mention that I'm running os9.0.4 so it obviously is not enough memory (probably didn't make it clear). Conclusion from a non-computer person that scored "average" in logic and problem solving college courses: 1. There probably isn't a physical problem with the interface/slot for additional ram or it would have defaulted to the same low memory problem with any memory PCB working or not. 2. The 96mb is unfortunately dead (unfortunate since I paid the original price and they're hard to find...and I really wanted that much memory) 3. The 64mb card I bought recently either is not for the 2400c (even though it physically fits) or is faulty. This is dissapointing since I bought it from a reputable business that listed it as compatible and other lister(s) recommended the business...but I can't remember the name. Recommendations: 1. Work with 16mb: smaller OS (8.0 maybe?) and limit my use. Goal: back to wireless surfing with IE and a farallon card. 2. See if any listers are willing to part with an xtra 64 (or 96mb) card PROVEN TO WORK in the 2400c and at a REASONABLE PRICE. This may limit me to a 64mb card but at least I could run a more current OS. I'm obviously trying to NOT SPEND MUCH MORE. 3. ??? Thanks all, Paul __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
