	Well, let's see what software I have that works with the Combo-33:

		ProPage 2.0
		ProDraw 2.0
		Deluxe PhotoLab (1.0?)
		Express Paint 3.0
		Digi-Paint (3.0?)
		PixMate
		PenPal 1.3.?
		PageRender 3D ?.?
		Design 3D 1.0
		Pixel 3D 1.1
		VT100 (comm program)
		
	As far as stuff that don't work:

		NoClick v2.? ( You'd need v3.6 I've heard...)

	That's it as far as I know. As far as the memory goes,
	Safe Harrbor has them for $499.00/4meg.... kinda steep
	to me. Don't know anything about the GVP Series I or II
	controllers. I'm using a slooowwww Harddrive (ST157N) so
	I can't say too much about disk access speed.
