A frien d of mine who is a teacher has a Laser 128 with the 3.5 ROM.  She
has had no compatibility problems until recently.  She can't get the new
Mecc software (89-90) to run, and Children's Writing and Publishing Center
from The Learning Company won't work.  Also Steps to Comprehension won't
boot.  She gets errors saying that it needs 128K (it has 128K) or that an
80 Column card is needed (built in and enabled from the front panel switch).

Laser will sell her an upgrade to the 128EX, but the question is, will the
128EX do any better with these programs?  Laser wants $175 for the upgrade.
Any better prices out there?

Thanks for the help!
