--- I didn't know you could hack up to 64megs of ram out of these books, let
me know if it works! I would be intrested in that... But mine is a 520c with
a 540c mobo and daughter card dropped into it... I actually just bought a
167mhz upgrade card off of the list for it, so I'll let you know how it
works... Good stuff on the network.. Unfortuantly being in Turkey I only
have a dailup connection... The USB card for the 1400 is a rigged card. I
don't know exactly how it works, but I have a friend that rips a chip out of
a PMCIA USB card, and sauders another chip onto it. All I care about is the
fact that it works.. I had to get that Wish I Was or whatever it's called
freeware utility off the net to install 9.2.2 on it, but that too works
nicely... Now I need to find larger hd's and ram for them both and I'll be
in business...
The next project I have in mind is tweeking a 160, any ideas on that? :)
