And, I read someplace, that once the upgrade has been done, the flaky 
RAM can be put back in. That sounds iffy to me, but it's an untested 
(at least by me) theory. I think I would be interested in hearing 
whether it does work as we have several older blue and white G3s around 
here that aren't being used because of flaky RAM and Panther upgrades. 
I just haven't had the time to blow the dust off these things and see 
if that does the trick.
