     If you are successful in this quest, I'd be >VERY< interested, but I
seriously doubt it. I didn't know Tandy 6000's were sold with less than 512k
and most with 1 megabyte. You can get an MMU mod that allows up to 4 megabytes
under 3.02.00 (and it does drastically improve performance). 

     If you care to see what I've done with one, call (206) For-Ever, login
