Yeah, you can replace it with an ethernet card...the only other type of card ever made for the Comms Slot. Keep in mind, you'll need a CS2 card, rather than a CS1 card due to the s…
Got the 3400c unit last night - it is in quite nice condition for its age and did have a CD drive as well as floppy drive. I think it is a 180mhz early machine. 64 mb ram card in p…
