reply to john: my comments to your comments: "There is a slide out tray in the rear that houses the changeable guts. Ram processor e-net card, modem."
I noticed there are screws anchoring one panel on the back, above the tabs. do I assume those have to be gently unscrewed before the tabs will release that tray? so the top doesnt actually come off, but the tray slides out for changes and checking? It doesnt 'lift the hood up" like my IIfx or my IIsi or LCIII, then. ... i just got an apple color stylewriter 2400 ... "Plug it into the printer port and away you go. Select StyleWriter 2500 as your printer. 2400/2500 use the same driver. It uses Canon BC21 & BC20 ink tanks. " oh, that's so good to know. thanks. .... my B-i_L said it ' has a card in it". an ATI rage, ... "Maybe it has the TV/video card"... no, I beleive him now. Macgurus had three different pages about the ATI rage cards, so that makes sense. That's probably what he had put in. ... ", I don't think there are PCI slots." yeah, there's just one. that's so frustrating. that's like the IIsi and the LCIII. once again, apple has to go and scrimp and limit us to just one, when we could so much with more choice....oh, Apple, when will you learn? .... "90% of OS* and OS9 functions the same as 7.0, 7.1, & 7.5. Major difference are added features, increased RAM use. " oh, ok. and of course if i go to OS8 or higher I get into HFS+ filing,-- and I can have fun with ResEdit and changing the desktop pictures, etc. which I've wanted to do since I learned about it. .... if you were hotrodding one of these ... "Increase ram and get a used L2 G3 chip (I'm cheap!)." [yeah, me too. I'll watch the swaplist. the PC was free. then add a 250 dollar L2 chip? ummmm...let me check my wallet--nope, not there.]. " Be careful with 128mb ram chips and a G3 card. Some chips are too slow to work correctly. 64mb and smaller chips work fine." wait a minute. are you saying that Apple tells us this machine can only take 64MB sticks, but others have tried putting in chips with more capacity and the machine recognized them and actually were able to make use of them? I know Apple says use no more than 64 MB on a stick. But they also say use no more than 256K on the L2 --and yet the G3 cache cards give you 512k or 1MB, and those work.--- so are you saying that people have put in 128MB sticks of RAM in the 2 slots and the machine liked it? let's say, if I didn't put in the G3/L2 chip in cache? so maybe he really DID put 256megs of RAM in it and wasn't speaking in error after all? janet schwartz http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
