Is that one of the original Apple batteries or one of the aftermarket ones? That is really good runtime, either way! I have found that my VST aftermarket ones can't use battery recondition, the computer goes nuts (starts clicking and beeping after about 20 seconds of the white screen...it freaked me out). I get a bit more runtime from the VSTs than the Apple ones, but no more than 20-30 minutes. I just think of these as plugged in machines and use the batteries like PRAM...
I wish it was easier to find old RAM for the 1400...not much around on the 'bay anymore...I have two 24MB cards so I have one of mine maxed to 64, but that leaves my other ones with only 16. I'd love to find some more 24 or 32 MB cards...

No, it's an Apple original. I was shocked myself, but that's on the ground testing. I reconditioned it and it's working great.

I thought about putting an ORiNOCO-compatible card in it, but I just don't use wireless that much.
