Yeah, I had a 1400cs with 64 MB RAM and a 242 MHz (IIRC, it was some oddball number,) G3 upgrade card. I loaned it out to an other-wise computer-less acquaintance who has since moved out of the country, last I heard. (He was still using it with Mac OS 9.1 and IE 5 as his primary internet computer over dial-up as of 2005.)

Great little machine. My dad had won a $3000 'shopping spree' at MacMall/PCMall back in 1996, and he was able to get the minimum PowerBook 1400, plus extra RAM. Passive matrix screen, slowest processor, not even the CD-ROM drive. After it had been replaced with a PowerBook G3, I bought it from him for $200 or something like that. (He had gotten the G3 upgrade and later full memory upgrade for it.)
