I ordered my 1040STe today!!! and I plan on popping in memory as soon as it
gets here.  I beleave that standard 1 Meg x 8 SIMMS will pop into the machine
and you have at most 4 banks of them.  Does the 1040STe generally come with
4 banks of 256K memory chips or does it have one bank of 1 Meg chips?  i.e.
do I have to order 4 megs of chips or only 3?  Do I have to wait and see?

The STe can't take the 4 Meg chips right?  (Do 4 Meg chips have more pins?)

Anybody have an idea where to get a 68881 or 68882?  The magazines I flipped
through (Byte, Comp Buyer's guide, STart) didn't have a single listing.  What
are the different FP chips that work with the STe and how much do they help
with intense double precision calculations?

While I was looking through the mags for SIMM prices I also looked at the
prices for 2400 Baud modems with MNP 5.  Every place that had them for under
$175 was sold out.  Anyone know of a place to get one?

While I am asking questions.... Whats the latest version of Mark Williams C?
Does it work on the STe?  Does the Spector GCR work on it?
