In addition, I was told that my system (Computer Products United - 286)
needed SIMPs.  Did the salesperson mispronounce SIPP, or is there really
another type of device?  It was his claim that I would pull my 256K chips
and replace them with 1 meg SIMPs.  Does this make sense in terms of 
SIPPs, or is that configuration completely different?
