Just a little advice - be CAREFUL with that HDD ribbon! I accidently tore one once a couple of years ago when I was switching HDDs in my 1400 - thank God I had a parts machine to grab a spare from! Either way, hope you enjoy the machine...the 1400 is by far one of my favourite PowerBook models. I've had my 1400c/166 since new, and have it fairly maxed out with 56MB of RAM, a 30GB Hitachi Travelstar, an Apple 8 bit video out card, and a Avaya World Gold card (802.11b, based on the ORiNOCO chipset), quite a good little machine.
