I'm just wondering the going rate of the Newer 183mhz 1400 upg'd. I
really don't want to fork out 600+, even though 216mhz G3 Would be
nice..

Also, can the cpu board from a 1400/133 or /166 be dropped into my /117?

Yes, the 133 MHz can. The speed boost is better than the defference in
MHzes, since you also get the L2 cache.

Right, thats important to me. Ever try VPC on a 117 with no L2?
<<smile>> I did hear that the circuitry from the 166 is different and
so the 166 cannot go into the 117 or the 133, coorect?

On a seguay to that, if anyone has a 133 they'd like to sell me, I'm
interested.

133 can, 166 can't. The performance of the two is very close, though. Both
are much faster than the L2 cache-less 117.

Yes, but without the smile. More like a frown. It was terrible!

Okay, you're right. It is painful, but alas, I must because...

<<cunning seguay>>

...its the only way I can tranfer files via ethernet. Its like this:
I'm running 7.6.1, with OT 1.1.2 installed, and yet the tcp/ip
networking doesn't seem to work. I can't ping my Mac and my mac can't
ping any other machines.. but VPC running '95 *CAN* ping and uses SMB
and transfer files just fine.. Whats the deal with that?
