- Hello,
-
- A few days ago I posted a question about my wife's PB 145. I
- had read that Apple had shipped some PB 145's which had 140 innards
- in Macweek. I tested with Speedometer and thought she had got
- one of these.
-
- To summarize, I was told that the PB 145 has the same ROMS as the 140,
- and the only way to ascertain was to open the PB and look to
- see if the 68030 says 25 mz or 16.
-
- I haven't done this, but one piece of email told me that the 145's
- have 4 megs of RAM soldered to the motherboard. In that case, why did
- Apple include 6 megs in hers, with a note attached which reads:
-
- "Due to a shortage of parts, we are shipping this PB with 6 megs of memory.
- This satisfies the request for a 4 meg machine". (In fact! ;-).
-
- Either my info's wrong or something is odd... I don't know much about
- this PB business, my main machine's a Nextstation Turbo...
-
- Any info would be appreciated. The PB does seem a bit slow for a 68025 at 25 mz...
