As assumed earlier up, it has Ramdoubler. Is it any good, should i hold onto it when i reinstall? Its running 7.6 now and feels pretty good, but i might try 7.1 first, because i found a link for it online and i have enough floppies for it (although i'm going to borrow my dads box of floppies soon from the old days, then there will be no problem.) Oh and i figured out why the battery doesn't hold a charge, there is no battery... my friend i got it from said it was completely dead and only served to make the thing heavier. Another question, i am using a cable from the printer port of the laptop to my 7300's printer port. Is that any slower than the other port next to it? Also it it usual for the laptop and the newer desktop not to play nice (when trying to connect to the laptop as a server, the desktop frezes. The laptop can connect to the desktop, but the laptop usualy freezes after moving a few files.) Finally what OS do you recommend for the powerbook and is there any special things i got to do for installing an os to a laptop?

Thanks all, you've been a huge help 8-) !
