Therefore, when you remove the memory that you installed, you will have to solder the resistor back for the machine to be operational with the smaller amount of memory again. I'm afraid that this would be to obvious to get past the service people. Sorry...nice try, though. ============================================================================= Stan Twiefel Major: Computer Science The University of Texas at Austin Internet: stanman@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu =============================================================================
