I followed up last week to this request with a post about DataRam.
Clearpoint saw the post, and gave me a call.

As far as prices are concerned, comparing list prices isn't meaningful
since Clearpoint's discount was very substantial.  For us, they are in
the same ballpark as DataRam.  I suggest anyone interested in prices
should call directly for a quote rather than relying on what someone
else paid.  (Usually a good idea, but especially true in this case.)

Both companies have trade-in policies for upgrades.  (If you own a
Mentor workstation, you probably already have Clearpoint memory in
your machine.)

I haven't seen any other followups to this post.  Did I miss the
mention of any other RAM suppliers?  I have a DN3000 suffocating
with only 4MB of RAM.  We need to look around before we buy.
