My Belgian/French 540 is alive!

[1] It has 7.5.3 on it, and I can't figure out how to change the bit depth. I want to set it to 1 bit so I can play Dark Castle. There is a bit depth file in the control strip folder, but it doesn't exist on the control strip. The monitor control panel says it's not usuable with the mac model I'm using. Any ideas?

[2] What would people say is the best system for the 540? It has 20 Megs of memory in it. I'm more interested in stability and speed over features.

[3] I see several files in the system folder that make reference to PC Cards. I don't see any PC Card slot. These laptops require a PCMCIA adapter in the left battery bay to use PCMCIA Cards right? Are the adapters hard to find? (they seem to be)

The keyboard is a nightmare. If it wasn't for the left shift key being an extra key further to the left than normal _and_ the comically small return key, it would be useable. :)

Thanks,

Nathan
