Lines: 15 I am looking into purchasing an extended / expanded memory board for my Epson Equity III+, and I have no idea what speed RAM I need. The machine runs at 12MHz with 1 wait state. Can I use 80ns chips or do I need faster? And can I just buy 70ns chips anyway; ie. is better to have faster chips even if you don't need them or does it cause problems? Also can Windows 286 v2.11 make use of extended memory besides just using it for swapping??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin L. Spier spierk@turing.cs.rpi.edu Kevin L.
