Regarding upgrading the IIsi memory.

One other peice of data.  The 2 meg simms are a bit hard to find and
a bit over priced.  2 meg simms cost about $125 but 4 megs are $175.
That is one of the reasons I am upgrading my IIsi to 17 meg rather
than just 9.

The above prices were from a recent Mac weekly magazine and of course
are subject to change daily :-).

Anyway, since you have to "toss" the chips already in a IIsi to upgrade,
be sure you make the right choice in memory size.  Personally, 5 meg
just isn't enough for me, so I went to 17 megs (I know I will need a
utility to access some of this memory in system 6, but system 7 will
be out soon).

Maybe, (but this is a big maybe), with virtual memory and system 7
5 megs might be a more viable configuration, but I still prefer real
RAM to virtual memory any day.
