I just sent my first 2300cTB (TrackBall Upgraded) to Mk.588 and he's having some interesting problems with it, such as:

It's been almost ten years since I've used this particular Duo on a regular basis, and I never used it as much as PowerDuo, the stock 2300c Bookkeeping/Field Graphics Design Workstation for my business. That was actually used for a while as my main workstation, as it was my first ever PPC Design Station.

It never gave me a bit of trouble, all I switched out was the Memory Card and the HDD, but it has been sitting unused for a long time.

I sent it off with a 24MB Card/32MB total built in Memory and now it's showing 24MB, strange.

____test: remove card to see if it's the MoBo RAM bank or one of the banks on the Upgrade Card that have disappeared.

He's using ___ :?: ___ to switch between system installs of 7.5.5 and 8.1 on a single partition drive, which I've never heard of, much less done. I've always kept two partitions on every laptop to double down my bets of having a working system on hand to unbork the main system or retrieve files from the main partition in the field or on a trip.

Are system blessing utilities for multiple systems installed on a single partition reliable?

Does anyone have insight into what might be going on?
