No. I just did this on my G3 (same FF as the 3400) and the drive cage of the 3400 uses the bottom mounting holes and these were the same for the 20Gb I put in and the 5Gb I took out. >3.

It can likely go even bigger. >4. Is there usually 16 mb ram installed and then only 1 slot to add more >ram (up to a total of 144 mb)? 16Mb is IIRC the amount on the logic board. The lone expansion slot can take up to 128Mb for a total of 144Mb. >Thanks for any replies, or for pointers to an archive where I can find information. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
