Message-ID: <7282.2747df42@vax1.tcd.ie> Date: 19 Nov 90 13:33:53 GMT Organization: Trinity College Dublin Lines: 19 Hey there, I have a friend who has an Ericson Xt clone. The problem is that she has only 256K on RAM and wants to expand up to 640K. This machine is about 5-6 years old. Does anyone know if your standard RAM chips can be used, or do Ericson machines need to have 'special' chips. I took a look at the motherboard and I think it has room for all chips needed (I know that most existing chips will have to be replaced). If this doesn't work, can I get a plug-in card with the extra RAM? Thanks, John. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jagrogan%vax1.tcd.ie@cornellc.cit.cornell.edu jagrogan%vax1.tcd.ie@pucc.princeton.edu 3rd Year Computer Science jagrogan@vax1.tcd.ie@cunyvm.cuny.edu Trinity College Dublin. jagrogan@vax1.tcd.ie jagrogan@unix1.tcd.ie uunet!vax1.tcd.ie!JAGROGAN@uunet.uu.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I haven't lost my mind.....I'm sure it's backed up here somewhere!"
