Well, I done the dirty deed. Dropped $15 at Radio Shack for a PCMCIA adapter and $44 at Costco for a 128MB SmartMedia card, slipped the SM in the adapter, the adapter in the 1400 and lo and behold I'm able to run enough apps simultaneously to where I can actually USE my 1400.
Norton's System Info speed tests show a slight decrease in performance, mostly in the disk access area which seems understandable; even if solid state VM beats out a mechanical HD in access speed, you've still got the overhead of implementing VM vs. RAM. I've heard lots of bad press about NSI at least as regards testing processor upgrades, so if anybody can suggest a better way to test performance I'm anxious to hear it. But basically I'm very happy with the results. Next step is to max the RAM from 32MB. [make me an offer I can't refuse ;-) ] Many thanks to all you learn�d geeks and nerds for your input. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
