Anybody know a cheap place for a G3 upgrade short of eBay? Looks like the Sonnettech 466 MHz G3 is the only one commonly available, and that's $270+!!! Didn't see much about 1400's and G3s in the list archives. Without something cheaper, it looks like it's going to cost me $110 (battery) + $50 (second 24 meg RAM chip) + $20 (802.11b drivers) + $300 (G3) + $100 (1400 itself) = $580 to get me where I want to go, and that's a bit steep. Might as well have gotten a clamshell/I'll be using the 117 MHz 603e for a while.
Anybody with an upgraded 1400? Are Sonnet's claims of "30% more battery life with upgrade" close to accurate? That'd be a pretty neat fringe benefit.
Any place particularly good (or bad) for PB batteries? I'm a little afraid of ordering a battery some place has had sitting around for years and would like to ensure I get a [relatively] new one.
Any recommendations for a USB PC card?
Anybody try the IOXperts drivers for "generic" wireless cards? (http://www.ioxperts.com/pr/2003/0320.html) I've got a Speedstream I could steal from a WinXP box, and for $20 the drivers sound like a pretty good deal.
Any other general pointers? I've owned a PB 150 and now have an iBook 500 (which I'm selling soon; thus the 1400 purchase), so I suppose I'm just looking for general 1400 pointers.
Thanks,
Ruffin Bailey
