Several questions about TP701c: Memory: I know that IBM specifies 3.3v. I've been using a Mitsubishi 5v chip for several months with no problem, but I've heard this can cause long-term problems (overheating). Can anyone confirm this? PCMCIA CD-ROM drives. Now that the Panasonic 2x PCMCIA SCSI drive is $200, I can buy one. Has anyone used one of these on a 701? I mainly need it to install programs (but it must to work with Linux). Is there a cheaper alternative? I passed on those cheap Reno drives because of bad reviews, and it's not that much cheaper if you add a SCSI card. Also, I've been thinking of buying NextStep 4.0, since academic bundle is only $300. I checked out www.next.com, but their compatibility page seems outdated. Is 701's video card supported by NextStep? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- nil@akula.com - stan@syberia.com - http://www.syberia.com/stan/netcrate/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
