Does it hold the time &
date after the main battery is removed?

Well, it didn't at first, but I reinstalled 8.1 (Gonna be 9.1 in a few minutes...), it was plugged in for at least an hour, and this morning, the time was right.

Leave the Powerbook plugged in in sleep mode for 24 hours.
The PRAM in the 3400 is rechargable. If not dead your
problem might vanish.

Will do!

The upgrade will break down as soon as the old version is deleted.
Corollary:
The old version will not reinstall.

Hey...I've just gotten a PowerBook 3400c off of
eBay.  Just a
question...

Sometimes when I plug it in, it starts up on its
own.  I don't press
any keys at all.

Is this a problem that should be addressed?

TIA...
