There is a company (I think 'Richter Daten- technik' or something like that) somewhere in Germany/Switzerland (??) who sells an expansion which can handle 12 or 14 MB - but it's quite expensive. A friend of mine has just developed such a thing. It works fine at up to 14 MB - but it's only a prototype now. It is a bit more complicated then connecting 1-4MB to the existing MMU - you have to build part of a new MMU to handle the memory above 4MB and do some other nasty things in order to get the video system use the additional memory - but it can be done. I think it should be possible on a STE, too. Michael Schwingen, Germany ------- please keep email from outside germany SHORT --------- email: michaels%cip-s01.informatik.rwth-aachen.de@unido.bitnet
