That's so strange that it worked that way! My logical side of me says, that makes no sense, but I've found, in my billion years of working on Macintoshes (the first one I owned was a Mac II in 1990), is that they often defy logic. I've even had them not recognize RAM that were the same size brand and everything until I switched slots they went into. I just won an auction off eBay for a working 2400c. Hopefully I'll get it the first of next week. I'm watching trying to pick up a few for parts just because of the reason you said. I figured, if nothing else, I know the screen is good on the one that's giving me grief, as is the keyboard and probably a few other parts and pieces. What I'd really like to get my hands on is a G3 upgrade if anyone has a line on one. Hope everyone's day is going well!
