ClearPoint has a good rep., but ain't as cheap as some, I've heard.
They have been around awhile, and offer lifetime warrantees.

A company named DataRAM has just expanded to the Apollo RAM market.
They have been in the DEC, etc., market for over 20 years, according
to their brochure.  Their products are covered by lifetime warrantees
as well, and guarantee next business day replacement via FedEx, free
of charge.  This sounds pretty good to me, so now can someone compare
their prices for us?  DataRAM charges $675 for 2MB boards and $1550
for 4MB boards.  I didn't ask about 1MB boards.  Shipping/handling
is about $5.

The (very impressive) salesperson I dealt with was Hugh Tucker, 714-836-5988

BTW, these were list prices I was given.  So how are ClearPoint's prices?

P.S.  4MB boards only work with x500 series Apollos.
