Yes, I know the Apollo line, "DN3000 have the the capability
of having 8 Megabytes of memory."

My problem is some vendors, especially X Window types, are
saying 8 Megs are required and 16 Megs are preferred.

Some of us have been around long enough to remember when your
machine ran out of addressing space, you cut a few traces,
added a resistor and an IC, and "magic" you've increased
your memory capacity.  Latest example is the Macs going from
128K of RAM to 512k.

Does anybody with a real smart soldering iron know how to do this
on my old, but beloved DN3000.  Has anybody at Apollo figured
this out?  The first answer is: "No the budget isn't large enough
to justify upgrading 25 DN3000s to DNxxxxs including Apollo's
and the third party vendors charges."

Any ideas?
