I was just delving inside one of my Pismos. First, if you are not going past OS 9 then I wouldn't boost the RAM past 320 (256 + 64). It's unlikely you'll need more than that. You don't need to disconnect the keyboard, just release the catches in the bays, slide the keyboard toward the front a little then flip it over, toward the front and set it down. The RAM, CPU and HD are all accessible now. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
