Thanks to all

This is an open and inclusive "Thank You" for all the postings in this thread.
I have successfully upgraded my 1000, 2000, and 4000 SNAPs to OS 4.0.8xx.
I have successfully installed whacking big drives (Fry's has got the best d*** deal on Seagate 300 GB drives - $149 after rebate!!!). These work like a charm and have given me no problems (such as excessive heat, ATA 100 / 133 issues, etc.).
The upgrades have not been completely smooth, but the postings gave me hope where otherwise there would have been abject despair.

Special thanks to Oz (for giving me the courage to tinker with the debug environment), and to Yvette (for a straightforward, no nonsense clarification about upgrading the 4000 series).

My one sadness in all this is that the American Entrepreneur has waded in. There are those out there who are using eBay to purchase SNAPs, using this forum to solve the upgrade problems, and using eBay to resell upgraded SNAPs. Kudos to them for seeing a way to make a buck. Sorrow that those of us who want to geek around and upgrade our own SNAPs no longer have a supply of inexpensive boxes.
