I need some help with PS/2 memory upgrades. We have a PS/2 model 80-111 
-- the 20 MHz machine -- with 4 Mb of SIMMs. The 4 Mb of SIMMs are 
located on a card in one of two slots for memory modules on the 
motherboard. We would like to add some memory. 

However, I was horrified to discover that 2 Mb of 80 ns system board 
memory, which is what I assume would fit into the second slot, costs 
more that $1,000, and that's with a discount through the Duke U. Computer
Store.

Can anybody suggest any cheaper alternatives? Please respond via
e-mail. If there's a lot of interest, I'll post a summary of responses
to this news group.
