I use both of those cards on my 2400, and DID NOT have the MCE, or any other upgrade, performed on my 2400. It just won't boot if they're inserted, so I have a Shutdown Script that checks for and ejects them.. this of course doesn't help if I crash, and have to give the three-finger salute. As far as which is more worthwile, mileage may vary. You won't get much out of the FireWire card without a G3 card. I am still on the stock processor, and I only use the card with a VST FireWire drive, and mouse movement is EXTREMELY jerky during copies, although reliable. USB on the other hand works great. The only thing that might be too intense, which I haven't tried yet is my Sony Spressa USB Plus. Try before you buy! j On 3/27/00 9:52 AM, Tom Ethen < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Sorry, I sent this as a reply before when I was reading an unrelated >list posting! Which upgrade is more worthwhile for a 2400, a USB (MCE >CardBus Upgrade w/Macally USB Card) or Firewire (MCE CardBus Upgrade >w/Ratoc FireWire Card)? I am trying to maintain portability with the >2400, but would like access to some of the newer hardware also. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
