But the daughter board memory explicitly would be outside the 9MB/16MB memory area! So if anyone does manufacture such a board, I could add, say another 16 Meg to my 2500/30 without removing any current memory. (Although I probably would.) With the Toaster currently shipping only for the 2000 chassis, this would certainly inspire people to consider the 2630 instead of the GVP boards. -- Robert I.

Other than that he's a great military man. I want you to know that." -- Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Saudia Arabia, Feb. 27, 1991
