I was getting to thinking that it might be a ROM issue. I just don't see Apple putting that much effort into differentiating the boards - except for RAM/VRAM/CPU speeds, they are almost 100% identical... But hey, maybe they DID do something to disallow people from swapping screens - keeping margins high and all that. And it wouldn't be the only time they put in a ROM block to prevent certain upgrades. B&W G3 CPU upgrades come to mind... Thanks for the tip about GetRom. Unfortunately, I can't get the cs to use the ce display correctly and I don't have a good cs display (my data cable is toast - too much playing with it *sigh*). So the cs is essentially unusable at the moment. Sooner or later, I'll pick up a video adapter for the PDS card, but who knows when I'll get off my butt... ;-) Peace, Drew -- <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> "There are of course many problems connected with life, of which some of the most popular are `Why are people born?' `Why do they die?' `Why do they spend so much of the intervening time wearing digital watches?'" -- Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
