Since a couple of weeks I am the owner of a Citizen Ouverture 106 laser
printer.  I bought the printer cheap at an auction. The printer has 0.5 MB
memory, that can be expanded to 2 MB by adding a memory expansion board.  I
fear that the price of an official upgrade (if still avbailable) would be
higher than the price I payed for th printer.  I am looking for a cheaper way
to expand the memory.  Would it e.g be possible to replace the chips on the
board?

If not I wonder if the compute engine in the printer might be a common type
used by many manufacturers in their printers or that it has been developed by
Citizen and is used in their printers only.  If this is a common board it
may be easier to find a cheap memory expansion board.

Can anybody give me a clue about the whatabouts of this printer?
