I have my SE FDHD for less than a week, I fired it up seconds ago to tell the RAM it has (HD capacity is 120 = 114MB); and has 4 MB of RAM. A little difficult to identify, because there's a French 7.0.1 on it. The 33MHz Sonnet is a really nice progress; one of my LCs has the Formac one. As I have a Classic II, these b/w models don't really profit by upgrading - users have to be patient. And after nearly twenty years all these batteries go mad ! Take it out before a possible leakage destroys the board ! Check capacitors as well. Lars
