We got some memory upgrades from Dataram (Princeton NJ) and they had
the best price of about $1300 for 4Mb. They are also specifically for
PMAX's so standard 1Mbx9 etc won't work.

They are easy to install if you know the trick of sort of twisting
them in. That is you don't insert them straight into the socket like
you might imagine rather you lay it in socket and rotate it to the
upright position. This took us a while to figure out so I'll hopefully
save some one some trouble.

     rotate <- //                 
              //  Simm       ||  
             //              ||  
           #/               #||  
           # #              #|#
