Well, I've had the Memory/16i daughtercard backordered for nearly eight
months now.  Does anyone know if it *is* out, ever *was* out, or when it
*will* be out?  Performance with the cache is usually pretty good (I'm
running with no problems on an IBM PC-1), but I'd like some EMS.

I've only had two minor technical problems with it, and in both cases,
a quick call to SOTA had the problem fixed within twenty minutes.
