Sleep swappable on a 1400. I have seen this problem before, but can't remember the solution, I suspect it is either a bad module or a bad connector on the 1400 logic board - the floppy and CD connectors are different. Can you borrow a known good floppy and try it out ? -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
