Mine is one of these (1400cs/117). The problem with these systems is that there are some 8MB "Apple motherboard" RAM pulls floating around that came from more amply endowed 1400s, and while these are a cheap and easy upgrade, when you have more than one "stackable" module in there too the system starts getting weird. I got a large number of inexplicable RAM test failures until someone suggested putting the old 4MB module back in, and then both stackable modules started behaving. (Since the problem only manifested after I bought a second stackable module, I initially suspected bad RAM and spent a fair bit on RMA-ing apparently bad RAM until I put the 4MB module back.) -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message will self-destruct in five seconds.
