Yes, SIPPs would be a *lot* cheaper to mount than SIMMs, but I doubt they are as easy to find/cheap as used SIMMs. Besides, I *already* have 4 Mb. worth of 256K SIMMs just waiting to find a home... This sounds to me like a project eminently worth doing, if I can get some good books to help my knowledge of digital electronics. -Eric Stuyvesant es2a+@andrew.cmu.edu || es2a%andrew@CMCCVB || JNET%"es2a%andrew@CMCCVB" al782@cleveland.Freenet.Edu || {uunet,harvard}!andrew.cmu.edu!es2a "To hate is to study, to study is to understand, to understand is to appreciate, to appreciate is to love." -John A.
