Now this sounds interesting.. I wonder what the calc would do with it?
Assuming that it worked or you could make it work with a replacement of
the low voltage protector, I wonder what would happen when you 
tried to put in another card.  Would the calc just freak out trying
to address more than 512K.. I wonder if you could use it as a fairly 
huge diskdrive and keep all your backups on it... Hell, you could back up 
the calc twice on it.  At this point, I realize the dangers and all but 
I would like to know if anybody knows anything about these cards.. 
Are these the same EPSON cards but with an extra 128K chip...
