Hi guys, I picked up a Rev B card cage off of someone from the lem swap list
and for the life of me I can't get it to work with any of my PC cards. The
basics of the machine are that it's stock other than it has 20megs of ram,
350meg HD and running OS8.1. I tried getting the card cage to work

Just replacing the fuse may work, but there could be other problems on the

OS 7.6.1 seems to be the fastest, and with the smallest RAM footprint
(about 8 MB). 8.1 is bigger and slower (about 11 MB), and 8.5.1 (15

you are using an older hard drive (like me) or a
newer, faster one.

Kindest thanks for your personal response. I'm afraid I mis-stated the

Clae,
Bruce Johnson and the other 5x0 owners on this list will probably
disagree, but I'd have to say Go for the 190
The 5x0c is a nice machine (active matrix even), certainly. But
generally, I think the 190 is probably the better trade off on
features/price/availability.
