If you can give me Drew's patches and a howto use them I will give them a go. Please note that I am no coder, but I do at least understand how C and makefiles are laid out. Any suggestions where I can either get a SIMM board or 512MB card from, cheap? My 2100 on has 128MB of RAM. As a side note, 4.9 works fine, even with SMP. It even has the double speed clock issue resolved on the ISO! Yay! Chris Martinhome | help
